  • Family health assessment and reflection using CFAM

    Objectives: 1. To explore the structural component of the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) by developing a genogram to assess family composition, relationships, and household patterns. 2. To examine how family structure, health history, and intergenerational patterns influence health outcomes. 3. To critically reflect on how family history and experiences shape personal and professional nursing perspectives. Assignment guidelines: Family plays an important role in shaping health behaviors, illness patterns, and overall well-being. This assignment requires you to create a genogram of your family and reflect on key family health patterns, intergenerational influences, and social determinants of health. Your reflection should critically analyze how family structures, relationships, and experiences contribute to health outcomes and nursing care considerations. The assignment will require the following components: 1. Genogram Creation Create a detailed hand drawn genogram that includes: At least three generations (e.g., grandparents, parents, yourself, siblings, children if applicable). Family members relationships, significant life events, and health conditions. Appropriate symbols and lines to represent relationships, illnesses, and key dynamics. A legend explaining all symbols used. 2. Personal Reflection Your reflection should integrate personal insights with nursing knowledge and include: a. Family Health Patterns and Influences Identify trends in health conditions (e.g., chronic illnesses, mental health, substance use). Discuss intergenerational health behaviors and risk factors. Reflect on family strengths and challenges related to health and wellness. b. Social Determinants of Health Analyze how the SDoH (factors like income, education, social support, culture, or access to healthcare) influence family health. Reflect on how these determinants impact your own nursing perspective. c. Personal and Professional Reflection How has this exercise shaped your understanding of family health assessment? What nursing interventions or approaches would be relevant for families with similar patterns? How will this influence your future nursing practice? Assignment Format: A reflective writing style should be used (first-person is permissible) Complete sentences, correct grammar, and accurate spelling are expected The journal entry is to be 1-2 typewritten single-spaced page(s) Required font: 11pt Calibri or 12pt Times New Roman Assignments need to be converted to PDF for upload Use of generative AI software will result in a grade of zero.

  • NURS-FPX4035

    For this assessment, you will develop a Word document or an online resource repository of at least 12 annotated professional or scholarly resources that you consider critical for the audience of your safety improvement plan to understand or implement to ensure the success of the plan.

    Using Google Sites, assemble an online resource tool kit containing at least 12 annotated resources that you consider critical to the success of your safety improvement initiative. These resources should enable nurses and others to implement and maintain the safety improvement you have developed.

    It is recommended that you focus on the three or four most critical categories or themes with respect to your safety improvement initiative. For example, if your initiative concerns improving workplace safety for practitioners, you might choose broad themes such as general organizational safety and quality best practices; environmental safety and quality risks; individual strategies to improve personal and team safety; and process best practices for reporting and improving environmental safety issues.

    Following the recommended scheme, you would collect at least three resources on average for each of the four categories. ;Each resource listing should include the following:

    • An APA-formatted citation of the resource with a working link.
    • A description of the information, skills, or tools provided by the resource.
    • A brief explanation of how the resource can help nurses better understand or implement the safety improvement initiative.
    • A description of how nurses can use this resource and when its use may be appropriate.

    Remember that you must make your site public so that your faculty can access it. Check out the Google Sites resources in the Wiki Resources above for more information.

    Here is an example entry:

    • Ko, S., Hsieh, M., & Huang, R. (2023). Human error analysis and modeling of medication-related adverse events in Taiwan using the human factors analysis and classification system regression. Healthcare, 11(14), 2063.
      • Nurses have a crucial responsibility in preventing medication errors. They should follow the “five rights of medication” to reduce the risk of such errors. These include the “right patient,” “right medication,” “right time,” “right dose,” and “right documentation.” By understanding these rights, nurses can manage medication administration effectively and ensure patient safety.

    Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the rubric. Please study the rubric carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

    • Identify necessary resources to support the implementation and sustainability of a safety improvement initiative.
    • Analyze the usefulness of resources to the role group responsible for implementing quality and safety improvements.
    • Analyze the value of resources to reduce patient safety risk.
    • Present reasons and relevant situations for use of resource tool kit by its target audience.
    • Communicate resource tool kit in a Word document or Google Sites in a clear, logically structured, and professional manner that partially follows APA style and formatting.

    Example Assessment: You may use the following example to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like but keep in mind that your tool kit will focus on promoting safety with the quality issue you selected in Assessment 1. Note that you do not have to submit your bibliography in addition to the Google Site; the example bibliography is merely for your reference.

    Introduction:

    Henry lawless is a 12 year old African American male who is in 7th grade and lives with his parents and seven year old sister. He was referred to outpatient child and adolescent and family center.

    Chief Complaint:

    According to the mother,” My son’s aggressive behavior is out of control.”

    History of Chief Complaint:

    The parents report that Henry has been a good student but in the last six months his mood has been irritable and angry at home, and he has been having physical shoving matches with his sister that end in her crying and the patient being disciplined. He has been easily annoyed by anything his parents say to him, causing arguments with his parents and blaming them for annoying him. His teachers report that he seems more argumentative and disruptive in class. He had one episode at school where he became verbally aggressive with a student in class.

    Past Psychiatric History:

    Henry’s mother reports that her son’s behavior was somewhat a problem during early kindergarten. He did not like going to school, would protest, and then become aggressive with the other children, taking their toys, shoving and hitting them if they did not respond to his request.

    His mother also indicated that during this time he would be ” mean” to the small dog that they adopted and kicked the dog when he walked past him. He would sit in timeout for at least 15 minutes, which would work sometimes but other times he would go back and try to kick the dog. The pattern of behavior became so bad that the parents had to go for counseling to deal with their anger towards Henry. A child psychiatrist diagnosed Henry with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and recommended that he be started on a psychostimulant at age 7. His parents were worried that he would become addicted and since his report cards were good they did not start the medicine.

    This is an unfolding case study which we will be utilizing for this discussion

    Questions:

    1. Based on your readings and in regards to Henry’s history what additional questions do you have? Provide rationale for each question.(Have at least 3)
    2. Are there cultural considerations that a nurse needs to consider when anticipating the needs of the family? (Elaborate on at least 3)
    3. Describe two of the five phases of aggression and an appropriate nursing intervention for each.
    4. What would be a possible plan of care for Henry should he become aggressive?
    5. Based on your knowledge of disruptive disorders what is the anticipated diagnosis and treatment for Henry?
    6. Add a question: After you have analyzed the content from the discussion board, please add a question to the end of your initial post regarding the reading material for the week.

    Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
