Analyze the application of technology and professional standards related to your health process issue at your practicum site in a 4–6 page scholarly paper, and submit your required practicum hours. Hours must be detailed per shift and confirmed by your preceptor before submitting your assessment. Papers submitted without detailed and confirmed hours will not be graded.
In your previous assessment, you defined and analyzed your health process issue in the context of your practicum site. Now that you’ve gained more experience, continue to build on the information you’ve gathered about your practicum site and research your chosen issue. In Assessment 3, you’ll focus on the application of technology and professional standards. Your ultimate goal at the end of the course will be to present a strategy for improving your selected process issue.
· Explain aspects of your role in process change and professional standards.
· Explain the aspects of the role of the BSN-prepared RN in process change and professional standards.
· Identify your potential role in process change at your existing practicum site. If applicable, describe that role.
· If your role is limited, explain how you would envision your role in process change if you were a nurse at this site.
· Summarize what your state’s nurse practice act says related to the nurse’s role and process change. (The Find Your Nurse Practice Act website in your Assessment 3 resources provides a search function to assist you in finding individual state nurse practice acts.)
· Explain what interprofessional collaboration you have and will implement.
· What opportunities for collaboration do you see?
· Are you able to implement some of them in your current role at your practicum site? If not, how would you implement interprofessional collaboration as a nurse at this site?
