Build on the work done in your first three assessments and create an online tool kit or 
resource repository that will help the audience of your in-service understand the research
behind your safety improvement plan pertaining to a specific patient safety issue 
(Inadequate Pain Management in Healthcare)  and put the plan into action.
Using Google Sites, assemble an online resource tool kit containing at least 12 annotated 
resources that you consider critical to the success of your safety improvement initiative. The resources should enable nurses and others to implement and maintain the safety improvement you have developed.
It is recommended that you focus on the 3 or 4 most critical categories or themes with           respect to your safety improvement initiative. For example, for an initiative that concerns improving workplace safety for practitioners, you might choose broad themes such as general organizational safety and quality best practices; environmental safety and quality risks;          individual strategies to improve personal and team safety; and process best practices for     reporting and improving environmental safety issues.
Following the recommended scheme, you would collect 3 resources on average for each of  the 4 categories focusing on a specific patient safety issue. Each resource listing should         include the following:
·       An APA-formatted citation of the resource with a working link.
·       A description of the information, skills, or tools provided by the resource.
·       A brief explanation of how the resource can help nurses better understand or implement the safety improvement initiative pertaining to a specific patient safety       issue.
·       A description of how nurses can use this resource and when its use may be 
appropriate.
Remember that you must make your site “public” so that your faculty can access it. Check    out the Google Sites resources for more information.
Criteria: 
·       Identify necessary resources to support the implementation and continued sustainability of a safety improvement initiative pertaining to a specific patient safety 
issue.
·       Analyze the usefulness of resources to the role group responsible for 
implementing quality and safety improvements focusing on a specific patient 
safety issue.
·       Analyze the value of resources to reduce patient safety risk related to a specific patient safety issue.
·       Present reasons and relevant situations for use of resource tool kit by its target 
audience.

Write a 4-6 page analysis of a current problem or issue in health care, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.
INTRO
In your health care career, you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills, you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then, you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can also examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with a real-world problem.
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
Describe the health care problem or issue you selected for use in Assessment 2 (NURSING BURNOUT) and provide details about it.
As you describe the topic you explored in Assessment 2 (NURSE BURNOUT), use the first four steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking. This approach was introduced in Assessment 2.
Identify possible causes for the problem or issue.
Use scholarly information to describe and explain the health care problem or issue and identify possible causes for it.
Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic.
You may find the How Do I Find Peer-Reviewed Articles? library guide helpful in locating appropriate references.
You may use articles you found while working on Assessment 2 or you may search the Capella library for other articles.
You may find the applicable Undergraduate Library Research Guide helpful in your search.
Review the Think Critically About Source Quality to help you complete the following:
Assess the credibility of the information sources.
Assess the relevance of the information sources.
Analyze the health care problem or issue.
Describe the setting or context for the problem or issue.
Describe why the problem or issue is important to you.
Identify groups of people affected by the problem or issue.
Provide examples that support your analysis of the problem or issue.
Discuss potential solutions for the health care problem or issue.
Describe what would be required to implement a solution.
Describe potential consequences of ignoring the problem or issue.
Provide the pros and cons for one of the solutions you are proposing.
Explain the ethical principles (Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy, and Justice) if potential solution was implemented.
Describe what would be necessary to implement the proposed solution.
Explain the ethical principles that need to be considered (Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy, and Justice) if the potential solution was implemented.
Provide examples from the literature to support the points you are making.
Your assessment should also meet the following requirements:
