NURSING ADMINISTRATION USING FOCUS AND PDCA CYCLES

NURSING ADMINISTRATION USING FOCUS AND PDCA CYCLES IN A SCENARIO PROVIDED

Introduction: Psychiatric emergencies in medical settings may be particularly challenging since the staff does not encounter them frequently and may not have experience dealing with behavioral crisis intervention.
The purpose of this exercise is to help staff improve understanding and coping with nonmedical emergencies that occur in medical settings using the PDCA cycle.
 Mr. X is a 41-year-old male admitted to a medical unit with a diagnosis of possible stroke.
The patient is ambulatory, 5’10’’, and 350 lbs. Mr. X presented to the emergency department the day before after apparently losing consciousness at home. The initial CAT scan of his head was negative. It is suspected that Mr. X may be an IV drug user since his urine toxicology screening came back positive for opiates. The medical staff thinks that Mr. X had a seizure prior to admission, but he has shown no abnormal signs or symptoms within the last 24 hours. Mr. X was moved to an acute care unit where he sits in bed wearing only a pair of ill-fitting boxer shorts and no shirt. He is able to communicate without any signs of aphasia. The medical staff is still not sure what is wrong with Mr. X. As the nurse administrator of the day, you hear a Rapid Response called overhead for this patient. As you enter the room, you see Mr. X screaming and on all fours in his bed. He is saying “Help, help” and “I don’t know” repeatedly. Respiratory staff, physicians, physician’s assistants, an ICU nurse, and unit staff are all standing there watching Mr. X scream for help.
They all seem paralyzed. Finally, one of the staff nurses asks Mr. X to turn over so that respiratory staff can administer oxygen via a facial mask.
He complies and at that time the ICU nurse hooks him up to the cardiac monitor as per protocol in a Rapid Response.


Mr. X remains quiet and still for about 60 seconds and then proceeds to rip off the oxygen mask and the EKG leads attached to his chest.
He climbs over the side rails and stands there in a daze, saying “I don’t know, I don’t know.”
The staff reacts negatively to Mr. X’s behavior in front of him. The respiratory therapist says, “If you think I’m going in to get an ABG from him, you’re crazy.” Speaking to Mr. X, the ICU nurse repeats over and over in a stern impatient voice, “What don’t you know?” Mr. X seems overwhelmed and can’t answer. The physician looks through the chart and asks the nurses questions about the patient. The other nurses stand there staring at Mr. X. The ICU nurse leaves a few minutes later stating that the patient’s EKG is normal. All at once, Mr. X bolts from the room towards the elevator, which has just opened, and gets on. One of the nurses calls a security code, but it is too late; Mr. X has disappeared. The county police are called and hours later they find Mr. X at his nearby home. They try to encourage him to return to the hospital, but since he has not been deemed a danger to himself or others, they have no choice but to leave him alone. The next morning Mr. X returns to the Emergency Department with “severe chest discomfort and a headache” and is admitted back to the same unit. When the staff see him, they are apprehensive and somewhat angry that he is back. After about three hours on the unit, Mr. X starts yelling that his stomach is hurting. His nurse calls the physician about his symptoms but she and the rest of the staff avoid extended contact with him because of what happened the day before. Task: Write an essay (suggested length of 5–10 pages) in which you develop a plan to help this staff become proficient in handling behavioral emergencies on a non-psychiatric unit by doing the following: A. Analyze the situation using the FOCUS and PDCA models by doing the following: 1. Use the FOCUS model to identify possible causes of the staff’s problem.
a. Find a Process to Improve (What needs to be improved based on the incident in the scenario?)
b. Organize a Team That Knows the Process (Who is the leader, the facilitator, the recorder, the time keeper, team member? Do you need all these people? Do you need others?)
c. Clarify Current Knowledge of the Process (What is being done now that might have added to or allowed the incident?)


d. Understand Causes of Process Variation (Use cause-effect diagrams, concept maps or other diagrams to show how you would understand the cause)
e. Select the Process Improvement (What would you do to improve the situation so that you decrease the risk of it occurring again?)
2. Develop an improvement plan that will ensure appropriate response times and appropriate clinical interventions in this situation, using a modified version of the PDCA model (PDC).
a. Plan (develop a plan to address the situation and possible risk in the future)
b. Do (You are not expected to actually do the plan but tell how it would be done)
c. Check (How would you check if the plan worked?)
d. Act (Note: Act has been omitted in the modified version since you are not expected to carry out this plan so you cannot periodically review the change to ensure that it is successful.
B. Write a unit protocol containing at least five directives for staff to follow in case of a behavioral emergency in a non-psychiatric setting.

C. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format. Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the attached Rubric Terms. Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project. Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the General Instructions section. The school does use turnitin to check for plagarism across the US in term papers so must be original and cited appropriately.

Understanding the Needs of African American Children and Adolescents


This Assignment will require you to review a case study and design an intervention in order to demonstrate cross-cultural competence. Please read or view the following case study and answer the questions that follow.

Case Study

View the case study.

You are a school psychologist at an elementary school, and Mrs. Moran came to see you today for a consultation, because she is concerned about a student in her class. Tyrel is a six-year-old African American boy in her first-grade class. She has concerns about Tyrel's academic achievement and his social interactions. He is having trouble with his reading assignments. In addition to that, he is sometimes withdrawn and at other times he is aggressive, lashing out for no apparent reason. She has tried to talk to Tyrel, but he just seems very upset when she asks is what is happening at home. When she attempted to arrange times for a parent-teacher conference, she asked Tyrel if she had passed the notes along to his parents.

Tyrel told his teacher that his father could not miss work to come in for a conference or he would be fired. Mrs. Moran called Tyrel's home and spoke with the boy's mother. She confirmed that her husband was not able to attend a meeting during the day and stated that she has three young children at home and could not afford to pay someone to watch them while she attends a conference. Tyrel's mom confided that they were being evicted and would be moving to the homeless shelter, so she was not sure if Tyrel would be in school for a few weeks. Tyrel later told Mrs. Moran that his parents did not respond to the teacher's notes because they were embarrassed about the eviction and that his mother could not read.

1.What considerations along with the family's socioeconomic status, should Mrs. Moran be thinking about in order to help Tyrel, and why are they important?
2.In what ways might Tyrel's family's socioeconomic status and other influences from his home environment affect his academic achievements and cognitive development? Discuss the achievement gap and how it can affect Tyrel.
3.In what ways might these influences affect his social development?
4.Design 3 strategies that Mrs. Moran could use to work with Tyrel's parents and explain why you think these will work. What could be the downside of these strategies?

The text and the assigned articles are the primary sources for this project. Remember to review the reading in past units for this project as well as the readings in Unit 3. Additionally, you should use two other research articles from peer-reviewed journals that you found in the Kaplan Library. This project should be between 900 and 1,200 words, not including the title page and the reference page. The project should be written in essay form. You are required to give credit to the sources you use, and use proper APA formatting. Refer to the APA Quick Reference for help with APA, the Kaplan Writing Center or your instructor. Remember that all work must be your own and plagiarism is not tolerated. Be sure to review the plagiarism policy in your Syllabus.

Understanding and supporting behavior

Case Study 2

Emma is in Year 5 and is nine years old. She attends a mainstream primary school.
Since starting year 5 her teacher has noted that Emma has become increasingly disruptive in class by calling out, swearing, and refusing to work with pupils who are not in her friendship group. She becomes argumentative and confrontational when the teacher or learning support assistant tries to intervene to sort out the problem and get her back on task. She is often sent to see the headteacher where she seems happy to sit and chat with the school secretary. Emma is working slightly below her age appropriate National Curriculum levels. Emma says she hates school but likes play and lunchtimes. She states that lessons are ‘boring’ except for PE and drawing cartoon faces. She often refuses to take her book bag or homework tasks home. There are no reported incidences of bad behaviour at playtime or lunchtime.
Home life seems settled but on speaking to Emma’s mother the teacher gained the impression that things were strained since Emma’s grandma had moved in. Emma’s mother was very defensive of her daughter and was irritated by the school constantly ‘moaning’ about Emma’s behaviour.


Part one essay

Evaluate the case study above using the behaviourist approach. Provide the strategies for prevention using this theory only.



The new question below.

Part two: this is the new question part one has been done by one of your writer which you may need to identify.


Using the same case study above, choose a DIFFERENT theory related to behaviour and provide strategies for intervention based on this theory.  Analyse the strength and limitations of using the behaviourist theory and the new theory chosen for the second assignment.
