This is an individual assignment. Using your group’s assigned case study (Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), create a cause-effect diagram or “fishbone” diagram. The fishbone diagram enables visualization of potential causes of a specific problem. This is part of your root cause analysis (RCA) you will include in your final report. Be sure you understand how and where this aspect fits. Using root cause analysis techniques in clinical audit* is one resource that defines and describes the fishbone diagram. The Quality Improvement Essentials Toolkit* contains instructions and a template for creating your fishbone diagram (see “Cause and Effect Diagram” on IHI website).

*Item found in QI Project Resources

In your initial post, you should include the following:

• Fishbone diagram (i.e., cause and effect diagram)
• Provide a narrative describing all potential factors/causes contributing to the problem identified in your case study

For this Assignment, you will consider the areas you aim to focus on to gain practical experience as an advanced practice nurse. Then, you will develop a Practicum Experience Plan (PEP) containing the objectives you will fulfill in order to achieve your aims. For this practicum experience, be sure to develop goals and objectives that allow you to synthesize knowledge and skills related to assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

• Review your Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form you submitted last week and think about areas for which you would like to gain application-level experience and/or continued growth as an advanced practice nurse. How can your experiences in the practicum help you achieve these aims?
• Review the information related to developing objectives provided in this weeks Learning Resources. Your practicum learning objectives that you want to achieve during your practicum experience must be:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Results-focused
• Time-bound
• Reflective of the higher-order domains of Blooms taxonomy (i.e., application level and above)

Note: Please make sure your objectives are individualized and outlined in your Practicum Experience Plan (PEP). While you may add previous objectives to continue to work toward. You must have 3 new objectives for each class, each quarter.

• Discuss your professional aims and your proposed practicum objectives with your Preceptor to ascertain if the necessary resources are available at your practicum site.
• Select one nursing theory and one counseling/psychotherapy theory to best guide your clinical practice. Explain why you selected these theories. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
• Create a timeline of practicum activities that demonstrates how you plan to meet these goals and objectives based on your practicum requirements.

Record the required information in each area of the Practicum Experience Plan template, including 34 measurable practicum learning objectives you will use to facilitate your learning during the practicum experience.

Your paper should include the underlined items below as section headings. APA 7th edition Title page: This is a separate page by itself, with the following information centered in the middle of the page: course title, paper title, students name, instructors name, and date. Description of Pathology: Start the paper on a new page. In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler. It should be a comprehensive introductory section of the condition in one to two paragraphs. Normal anatomy of the major body system affected: In this section, you will describe what is considered normal anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing a disease related to the brain, explain what is normal for the brain from an anatomical standpoint. You should show comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental concepts and communicate information using scientific vocabulary. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section. Normal physiology of the major body system affected: In this section, you will be discussing physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isnt enough to merely provide a list of functions of the body system (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body), instead, you need to be able to describe how it does it. The how is the physiology. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section Mechanism of Pathophysiology: This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the previous two sections, you explained what is considered normal, in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition. You should show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology of __________, Pathophysiology of __________.” Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature. Treatment: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition. Conclusion: Finally you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a conclusion where you wrap up and summarize all of the important points made in your paper. References: As with the Title page, this should be a separate page by itself. All references should be included in correct and complete APA format. All references must be cited appropriately in the paper using APA-style in-text citations. A minimum of three reputable sources are required for this assignment. Requirements for Topic, Length, & Submission The length requirement for this paper is between 4-6 full pages of content, double-spaced – this does not include the Title page and the Reference page (both on separate pages) that do not contribute to page count. Use of images/tables/diagrams will not count for total page number either. Students will be assigned individual topics related to physiology and pathological conditions of physiological systems by their instructor. You must write your paper based on your assigned topic. Your paper must be submitted as a PDF (.pdf) or Word document (.doc or .docx). These are the only file types that will be accepted.

I’ve attached the discussion post that needs to be completed.

• Please no AI
• Use references with links that work
• Answer the questions accordingly
• Please use scholarly resources
• Please use in-text citations
• I have attached the rubric. Please follow closely.

Patient log/ Encounter Format/ Time Logs

Need to create 11 patient logs/encounters focused on psychotherapy. RESPONSES SHOULD BE BRIEF. Possible diagnoses may include anxiety disorders (at least 2), depressive disorders (at least 2), substance use disorders, ADHD, eafting disorder, adjustment disorder, and trauma-related disorders. The diagnosis should be common, and the patient’s age should range from 10 to 67 years old. The format below should be used for each patient. No specific word count needed as long as all questions are answered. Note that this course is focused on psychotherapy and should be the primary focus, not medication management or other non-related treatments that do not meet the course requirements. Average therapeutic techniques should be utilized. Diagnoses may be repeated. RESPONSES SHOULD BE BRIEF.

The term knowledge worker was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Druckers time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

To Prepare:

• Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.
• Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

• Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.
• Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.
• Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.
