Week 4 Homework
Chapter 7
1. Explain the nursing clinical role, as indicated in Exhibits 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3. A competing perspective is much more limited. In extreme form, it might be limited to completion of tasks indicated by patient management protocols and physicians’ orders. All other functions would be assigned to other units of the organization or left undone. Discuss why this broad view is preferable, in terms non-nursing stakeholders, such as trustees, physicians, or patients, might appreciate.
Nursing organizations must provide five functions including delivering excellent care, coordinating and monitoring interdisciplinary care, educating patients, families, and communities, maintaining the nursing organization, and improving nursing performance. Nurses provide a safe, effective, patient centered, timely, efficient, and equitable contribution in delivering excellent care. They’re able to deliver this quality of care by implementing the nursing process; a system of assessing patients, diagnosing individual nursing care needs, planning care, implementing plans, and evaluating care. A broad view is preferable to design, implement, and evaluate patient care by coordinating, delegation, and supervising the care provided by the healthcare team.
2. Describe how the long-term need for nurses is determined and the shift-by-shift variation in need accommodated? (See also Chapter 8, Additional QFD 2.6.)
Staffing effectiveness is based on an appropriate mix of competent staff and patient needs. Nurses are considered the front of patient care, satisfaction, quality, and safety and can respond to patient needs in a timely fashion.
When planning long term, nurses should be considered for active roles in strategic development and management, design and facility layout, and resource planning. Their experience and knowledge is integral in the delivery of excellence, effective communication, patient safety, and overall hospital management
