Nursing Narrative Script
Introduction
Nurses play a vital role in the coordination and continuum of care for patients. In terms of coordination, nurses are responsible for ensuring that all members of the health care team are aware of the plan of care and are working together to meet the needs of the patient. In addition, nurses frequently act as a liaison between the patient and their family, as well as between the different members of the health care team. Here, I will discuss effective strategies for collaborating with patients and their families, how change management relates to communication and patient-centered care, the ethics of coordinated care, and how policy affects outcomes.
Effective Strategies for Collaborating with Patients and Their Families
In any healthcare setting, it is important to establish a good working relationship with patients and their families. This collaborative relationship is essential for achieving desired health outcomes. There are a number of strategies that can be used to foster collaboration. First, it is important to clearly communicate the goals of treatment and the expected outcomes (Leask et al., 2019). Patients and their families need to feel that they are involved in decision-making and that their input is valued. It is also helpful to provide education about the illness or injury, the available treatments, and the anticipated course of recovery. This information can help to empower patients and their families, and make them feel more capable of participating in their care. Finally, it is important to be respectful of patients' and families' preferences and needs. By taking the time to build a collaborative relationship, healthcare providers can improve patient care and better achieve desired health outcomes.
Examples (Drug-Specific Interventions/Cultural Competence Strategies)
A growing body of research supports the efficacy of drug-specific educational interventions in reducing medication errors and improving patient safety. In addition, cultural competence strategies have been shown to be effective in improving communication and collaboration between healthcare providers and patients from diverse backgrounds. When implementing these interventions, it is important to consider the specific needs of the patients and their families. For example, patients who are unfamiliar with the healthcare system may benefit from more comprehensive educational materials, while those who have a limited English proficiency may require language services. By tailoring these interventions to the needs of the individual patient, healthcare providers can more effectively collaborate with patients and their families to achieve desired health outcomes (Sharifi et al., 2019).
Change Management
Change management is a crucial element of any healthcare organization. In order to...…to consider how different groups of people will be affected by a given policy (Trivedi & Slaughter, 2020). For instance, a policy that reduces funding for mental health services may disproportionately hurt individuals who suffer from mental illness. By taking into account the potential consequences of various policy choices, decision-makers can ensure that they craft policies that will improve the lives of those they represent.
When crafting policy, lawmakers must take into account the potential implications and consequences of their provisions. Failing to do so could result in unforeseen and undesirable outcomes. For example, a provision that is intended to incentivize investment may instead have the unintended consequence of stifling economic growth. Or a provision that is meant to protect vulnerable populations may unintentionally create new vulnerabilities.
Conclusion
In terms of continuum of care, nurses provide continuity of care by following up with patients after they have been discharged from the hospital. This follow-up can involve making sure that patients are taking their medications as prescribed, that they are following up with their physicians, and that they are making lifestyle changes to improve their health. By providing these services, nurses play a vital role in ensuring that patients receive the best possible care. Also, by taking the time to consider the logical implications…

Nursing Informatics NEW COMPETENCIES Nursing informatics or NI is a field specialty that blends and integrates the nursing, computer and information sciences in managing and transferring information and insights in nursing (Anderson, 2008; Coleman et al., 2010). It is aimed at assisting in the decision-making function of patients, nurses and other participants in patient care through information structures, processes and technology. Nurses who integrate this specialty into their regular practice are called
Nursing Theory Caring as an integral nursing concept can be viewed from diverse perspectives. It can be an attribute, a complex set of behaviors, or an attitude. This has made some people believe that it is impossible to improve and measure it although there is evidence that both improvement and measurement are possible. People recognize that caring models of professional practice affect the service users, health outcomes, healthcare staff, and ultimately
Nursing Across Theories Nursing is a core concept that is common across contemporary nursing theories. Even though the definitions, applications, and philosophies are different with each theory, the concept of nursing plays a vital role in each one. Contemporary theories came about when the teaching of nursing students was not sufficient to the performances of what the nurses were being taught in schools and ultimately affecting patient care in the long
