    What research process did you employ?
    Which databases did you use?
    Which search terms did you use?
    Note: In this section of your bibliography, you may use first-person since you are asked to describe your rationale for selecting the topic and the research strategies you employed. Use third person in the rest of the bibliography, however.
    Annotation Elements
    For each resource, include the full reference followed by the annotation.
    Explain the focus of the research or review article you chose.
    Provide a summary overview of the publication.
    According to this source, what is the impact of this technology on patient safety and quality of care?
    According to this source, what is the relevance of this technology to nursing practice and the work of the interdisciplinary health care team?
    Why did you select this publication to write about out of the many possible options? In other words, make the case as to why this resource is important for health care practitioners to read.
    Summary of Recommendation
    How would you tie together the key learnings from each of the four publications you examined?
    What organizational factors influence the selection of a technology in a health care setting? Consider such factors as organizational policies, resources, culture/social norms, commitment, training programs, and/or employee empowerment.
    How would you justify the implementation and use of the technology in a health care setting? This is the section where you will justify (prove) that the implementation of the
    patient care technology is appropriate or not. The evidence should be cited from the literature that was noted in the annotated bibliography.

    Question 1
    Dermatitis is a common skin condition that causes irritation and inflammation. Various factors, including irritants and genetic predispositions, can cause it. Symptoms of dermatitis include redness, swelling, itching, and sometimes blisters or oozing. Identifying and avoiding the triggers that cause dermatitis before starting treatment is important. This may involve avoiding certain substances, making lifestyle changes, or using gentle skincare products. In more severe cases, prescribing antihistamines or corticosteroids may help to reduce itching and inflammation. Overall, treating dermatitis involves a combination of identifying triggers, taking preventive measures, and seeking medical attention when necessary. Because Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory/allergic dermatitis that recurs frequently and causes persistent itching, rashes, inflammation, discharge, burning, and crusting. The illness may significantly reduce one’s quality of life (Hon et al., 2021).
    Question 2
    Antibiotic eye drops or ointments can help treat conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, by eradicating the infection. There are several options for experimental medicine. Ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, polymyxin B sulfate-trimethoprim, gentamicin, and tobramycin are all good first broad-spectrum topical antibiotics. Although the aminoglycosides (gentamicin and tobramycin) may have weaker efficacy against specific Staphylococcal species and strains due to growing resistance, they still offer good coverage against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (Kopke2023). Usually, these drugs are taken multiple times daily for a week. Even if symptoms improve, it’s crucial to stick to the instructions regarding treatment and keep taking the prescription. Antibiotics can also be used to treat Otitis Media, an ear infection. This medication can be consumed orally as liquids or pills. Advise patients that even if they feel better before completing the entire course of antibiotics. This guarantees the illness is eradicated and helps keep it from returning.
    Question 3
    Herpes virus infections can occur in a variety of body locations and are rather prevalent. Oral herpes (cold sores) and genital herpes are the most frequent kinds. Herpes labialis and genitalis are the most prevalent symptoms that indicate an HSV infection. Vesicular sores or ulcers may initially develop in the oro-facial and vaginal areas. These sores or ulcers may gradually dry out into crusts that can endure for up to 10–14 days (Sharma et al., 2023). Along with itching, burning, and pain, patients may observe blisters or ulcers in the affected area. A fever, headache, and enlarged lymph nodes are among the flu-like symptoms that some people also encounter. The intensity of the symptoms and the type of infection determine how to treat herpes. Antiviral drugs like valacyclovir and acyclovir can improve symptoms and reduce the length of outbreaks. To maximize its effectiveness, treatment should be initiated as soon as symptoms manifest. Patients should take medication as prescribed and maintain proper hygiene to prevent virus transmission. This includes regularly washing hands, using condoms during sex, and avoiding close contact with others during outbreaks. While treating and preventing herpes virus infections can help patients control their symptoms and stop the virus from spreading, the illnesses can still be difficult and undesirable.
    Question 4
    Cellulitis, folliculitis, and impetigo are the three most common primary bacterial skin infections. Impetigo is an infectious infection that can cause blisters or red sores on the body and face. Cellulitis, which affects the skin’s lower layers, can cause warmth, redness, and swelling. Folliculitis, a hair follicle infection, can cause red bumps or pus-filled pimples. Typically, antibiotics, either applied topically or taken orally, are the preferred treatment for these conditions. It is crucial to receive an accurate diagnosis and follow the recommended treatment plan. Sometimes, a healthcare professional may need to drain abscesses or infected areas. Proper skin care practices, not sharing personal items, and practicing good hygiene can help prevent bacterial skin infections. Proper education regarding infections is needed.

Your facility has always had a dedicated case management staff that coordinated the patient plan of care, but recently, there were budget cuts and the case management staff has been relocated to the inpatient setting. Care coordination is essential to the success of effectively managing patients in the community setting, so you have been asked by your nurse manager to take on the role of care coordination. You are a bit unsure of the process, but you know you will do a good job because, as a nurse, you are familiar with difficult tasks. As you take on this expanded role, you will need to plan effectively in addressing the specific health concerns of community residents.

  • “Utilizing Nursing Informatics to Improve Healthcare Outcomes: A Proposal for Increased Data Use in Practice Settings”

    Data Spreadsheet and Narrative Paper
    Using data and presenting that data are essential skills for all nurse executives to develop.
    For this Assignment, you will create a proposal to increase informatics use in a practice setting. You will appraise the current use of outcome data from:
    • an example at AHRQ, IHI, CMS, or WHO
    OR
    • a specialty organization of your choice Then define a gap in practice that is supported by the existing data.
    Next, determine how an increased use of nursing informatics could strengthen outcome development and sustainability of positive healthcare delivery trends. Think about the current use of evidence-based practice in a practice setting and where the use of data has shown that care delivery could be improved, such as door-to-balloon time placement for STEMI patients, antibiotic delivery, wait times in the emergency department, and so on.
