Reflect on your nursing school journey and discuss the ‘Future of Nursing Report’ (FON). On a Word document, record your answers to the following questions. Each response should be a minimum of 175 words and should be in APA formatting. The submission should be 3-4 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.
According to the Committee for the Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report, the vision of the initiative is the achievement of health equity in the U.S. built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise as outlined in the 10 nursing outcomes found in Box S-1 of the report. Identify one outcome and describe how you believe the nursing program and your clinical experience at Nightingale College will prepare you to contribute to that outcome.
Additionally, the Future of Nursing report categorizes social determinants of health (SDoH): Economic Stability, Education, Social and Community Context, Health, and Healthcare, and Neighborhood and Built Environment. Review the information in the FON report for SDoH and discuss how you will be prepared, as a nurse, to address those healthcare needs. Describe how you will use your education and skills to promote the achievement of health equity.
Reflect on how your knowledge/views/opinions have changed or remained the same since starting your education at Nightingale College.
Think about your future nursing practice. How will you use nursing knowledge to champion health promotion, disease prevention, and chronic disease management?

Module 2
Detailed Outline of Scholarly Intervention Paper

respond to the following:
Describe a current safety concern in your practice environment.
Blood and blood product transfusion errors are a safety issue in my practice environment. Recently there have been a couple of incorrect blood products to a patient and the patients have had reactions to the incorrect blood products. When the blood products are being administered in an urgent situation, the patient identification verifications have been bypassed.

Explain one HIT that could be applied to address the concern.
One HIT that could be applied to address the concern is a barcode-enabled point-of-care system.

Explain how it could be applied to enhance safety.
The barcode-enabled point-of-care system is put into place to avoid wrong patient/wrong treatment. With the barcode-enabled point-of-care system the patient should be scanned first and verification of patient identifiers should be confirmed. Scanning the patient should alert any provider if the person is not the intended patient. Next, any medication, blood, or blood product should be scanned to help confirm that the correct product is being administered to the patient. The patient and products should always be scanned prior to the patient receiving anything in order to avoid the wrong products being administered.

Identify at least one possible unintended consequence of adopting the HIT.
One possible unintended consequence of adopting the HIT is if the system has unintended downtime. During downtime the barcode-enabled point-of-care system is not able to be used. Lyon et al. (2023) evaluated downtime in healthcare and stated that anything that goes up, must come down, and that includes EHR and barcode-enabled point-of-care systems.

Discuss at least one strategy for mitigating the unintended consequence.
One strategy for mitigating unintended downtime would be to have a downtime safety folder in multiple areas that are easy to locate. Within the folders would be information on how to safely navigate patient care and administration of products without the system and how to properly make documentation of what the patient had received. According to a study performed by Larsen et al. (2019), which studied the dangers of downtime, having good communication about what to do during downtime is very important to do ahead of time and having a good system in place that is easy to utilize is key to downtime success.

Essentials of nursing research: Appraising evidence for nursing practice (10th ed.). Wolters Kluwer. – Chapters 13 and 14 (PowerPoint included). Also, think of the best title for this assignment.
Below are several tips that I hope will provide further guidance when critiquing the article assigned for the Module 6 Quantitative Critique.

• This assignment is titled “Quantitative Research Article Critique.” Two key words – quantitative and critique. You are critiquing this article based upon your thoughts and examinations of the article, the assigned readings and other sources. Based upon the readings, interpret this article via the assigned questions. Defend your answers/ arguments with substantive information from your insight and other scholarly sources. For some questions, there may not be a straightforward answer. In these cases, adequately support your answer to the assigned question with relevant references.
• Some questions may be answered by a yes/ no response. In those cases, respond and then support with why / why not.
