In her TEDx talk What Your Momma Never Told You About Childbirth, Marianne Ryan challenges common misconceptions about the experience of childbirth and encourages women to approach birth with more confidence, preparation, and empowerment. Ryan emphasizes that women have been conditioned to fear pain, medical intervention, and the unpredictability of labor, which affects how many mothers view the process before it even begins. She explains that many of the negative messages society sends about birth can lead to increased anxiety, loss of confidence, and a feeling of helplessness during delivery. One of the main points Ryan makes is that education and support are key components in shifting perceptions about childbirth. She discusses how families, healthcare providers, and educators can do more to teach women that their bodies are capable and strong. Instead of focusing solely on the fear of pain, Ryan suggests celebrating the natural process and acknowledging the strength of womens bodies. She shares personal stories, cultural observations, and reflections from women who found empowerment through birth education and informed choice. What I found most interesting about the talk was how deeply Ryan connected cultural expectations and fear. Her discussion about how media and casual conversation reinforce myths about pain made me think about how many women enter labor already fearful, which might affect their experience. I will most likely remember her emphasis on empowerment and how education can reshape birth narratives. In her talk, Ryan draws on examples, anecdotal evidence, and references to broader cultural attitudes rather than formal scientific data. She uses stories and emotion to connect with the audience and encourages listeners to think about how personal belief systems affect birthing experiences. From a psychological perspective, Ryans message aligns most closely with the humanistic perspective, which focuses on individual empowerment, self-efficacy, and personal growth. She advocates for self-awareness, confidence, and choice core elements of humanistic thought. Her emphasis on mindset and perception reflects the idea that our beliefs and attitudes can shape real life experiences. If I could speak with Marianne Ryan, I would ask what specific steps she believes would be most effective for changing societal narratives about birth. I would also want to know how healthcare professionals can better support women who start their pregnancy experience with fear or anxiety. Finally, I would ask what role partners and families should play in reshaping expectations about childbirth.

For this assignment, you will report on the information gathered during your interview. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. The goal of this assignment is to analyze the interview data and identify an issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary solution. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently in use. Additionally, you will prepare for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal assignment by researching change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to the issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the rubric to confirm specific required elements of this assignment. Note that there are differences between basic, proficient, and distinguished criteria.

Use the to help you stay organized and concise. As you complete the template, make sure you use APA format for in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that are informing your plan, as well as for the reference list at the end. (Because you’re using a template, a title page is optional.)

Additionally, be sure to address the following criteria. Please study the rubric carefully so you know what is needed for a distinguished score.

• Summarize an interview focused on past or current issues at a healthcare organization.
• Identify an issue from an interview for which an evidence-based interdisciplinary approach would be appropriate.
• Describe change theories and a leadership strategy that could help in developing an interdisciplinary solution to an organizational issue.
• Describe collaboration approaches from the literature that could be relevant in establishing or improving an interdisciplinary team to address an organizational issue.
• Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions; contains few errors in grammar and punctuation, word choice, and spelling.

Academic clinical discharge summary notes provide a unique opportunity to practice and demonstrate advanced practice documentation skills, develop and demonstrate critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills, and practice identifying acute and chronic problems and formulating an evidence-based plans of care.

Develop an academic clinical discharge summary note based on a hospital patient seen during clinical/practicum. The discharge summary note should include the following:

1. Reason for admission: Include the reason for admission, a list of diagnoses in order of acuity, and an ICD-10 diagnosis.
2. List of all procedures: Include all dates, significant findings, and any anesthetics and contrast used during procedures.
3. Complete list of consults during hospitalization: Include any providers or services consulted during the stay.
4. Patient’s condition at discharge: Include a physical exam prior to discharge that documents that patient is stable at discharge and has safe disposition and transportation. What diagnostic criteria confirmed the discharge diagnosis?
5. Complete list of discharge medications: Full list with all dosages, frequencies, and quantity of medications prescribed or dispensed.
6. Pending test results for follow up: Complete list of any pathology, cultures, radiology, or other diagnostic tests still pending, and who is responsible for follow-up on the final results.
7. Complete list of discharge instructions: Full list of directions regarding infection prevention, new medications, and returning to daily activities.
8. Complete list of discharge follow-ups: Full list of any therapies, treatments, referrals, consults, and follow-up appointments. What diagnostic criteria were needed after discharge?
9. Summary: What questions were raised during the hospital stay? Include all explanations and answers to these questions. What questions were raised that required further exploration? What kind of discharge planning did you need? Characterize your patient interaction activities.
10. Overall assessment: Identify health promotions, health education, ethical considerations, geriatric considerations, and expected outcomes.

Incorporate three peer-reviewed articles in the assessment or plan.

Week2Electrolyte Safety Medication Scenarios

Medication safety is a critical component of nursing practice, especially when administering high-risk drugs like electrolyte replacements. These medications, including potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium supplements, require careful monitoring to prevent potentially life-threatening complications such as cardiac arrhythmias, toxicity, or infusion-related injuries. This assignment uses realistic scenarios to help nursing students recognize common medication errors and adverse effects associated with electrolyte therapy, develop appropriate nursing interventions, and implement preventive strategies to ensure safe patient care.

Objectives

By completing this assignment, students will be able to:

1. Identify potential adverse effects and medication errors related to common electrolyte replacements, including potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium.
2. Demonstrate appropriate nursing actions to prevent, detect, and manage complications arising from electrolyte medication administration.
3. Apply critical thinking skills to analyze clinical scenarios involving electrolyte therapy and make informed decisions to promote patient safety.
4. Describe the importance of monitoring parameters such as EKG changes, vital signs, and patient symptoms during electrolyte replacement therapy.
5. Develop patient education strategies to enhance understanding of electrolyte medications and their potential risks.

Instructions

1. Students should begin by refreshing their understanding on electrolyte medications using either their ATI module, text, or the outline provided here:
3. Then, students will download and complete the following worksheet with medication safety scenarios:
