The purpose of this assignment is to identify a problem or concern in your organization, local community, or state in which change can occur through advocacy and legislation.
Nurses often become motivated to change aspects within the larger health care system based on their real-world experience. As such, many nurses take on an advocacy role to influence a change in regulations, policies, and laws that govern the larger health care system.
Identify a problem or concern in your organization, local community, or state. Examples of problems relevant to nursing include, but are not limited to, title “nurse” protection, sharps injury prevention, nursing shortage, nurse well-being, valuation of nursing services, etc. Research the issue you selected and use the attached “Creating Change Through Advocacy” template to complete this assignment.
You are required to cite a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. A link to the LopesWrite technical support articles is located in Class Resources if you need assistance.

Collapse All
Introduction
In this first assessment you will begin your exploration of the structure of medical terminology. The first step is to review how to build a medical term. Then you will examine the skin and musculoskeletal systems; in particular, we will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of the integumentary, or skin system. The skin is the largest organ of the body with a total area of about 20 square feet. The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. Your suggested resources address the three layers of skin, skin conditions, diseases, treatment, and diagnostic studies.
In the assessment, you will review a progress note. This is a common document found in a health care record in doctors’ offices and hospitals. You will then translate the medical terms in the progress note into common terms.

The left radial aspect demonstrated erythematous macules. The right ulnar aspect demonstrated actinic keratosis. Bilateral hands appeared dry with linear excoriation and fissuring of her fingertips. Bilateral upper arms demonstrated superficial and deep masses. Deep subcutaneous masses are mobile and may represent lipomas. Superficial masses appear to be sebaceous cysts.
Assessment and Plan:
Actinic keratosis of the right ulnar aspect was treated with liquid nitrogen.
Possible lipomas: Schedule surgical biopsy of larger masses.

Assessment Description
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a PICOT
question. A PICOT (Patient, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome and Time)
question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical
area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.
The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice
intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient
population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe
needed to implement the change process.
Using the “PICOT Question” template, formulate a
PICOT question applying the PICOT format that addresses the approved clinical
nursing problem from Topic 2.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your
capstone project change proposal.
While APA style is not required for the body of this
