Embracing a culture of safety will impact health care quality DQ
Purpose: This assignment will help nursing students to analyze how embracing a culture of safety will impact health care quality and to think about how they’ll implement what they’ve learned in order to provide quality and safe care in their future career as nurses (Relates to Course Learning Outcome 3).As new nurses make their transition into the workforce, they will have to navigate a healthcare system in which they will see varying levels of quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness in the care that is being provided.By having a greater understanding of health care quality, particularly the principles of Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN), nursing students will be better prepared to transition into the role of novice nurses within a complex health care system.
Skills: The purpose of this assignment is to help you practice the following skills that are essential to your success in this course and as a future nurse:
Explaining how embracing a culture of safety impacts the provision of quality patient care -this will ultimately help students to understand how their knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to safety will allow them to provide high quality care.
Explaining, in concrete terms, how they will apply this knowledge to future interactions with patients.
Analyzing a previous situation regarding high- or low-quality care and relating it to the assigned chapter by Woods (2017) and the assigned article by Sherwood (2015).
Knowledge: This assignment will also help you to become familiar with the following important content knowledge in this discipline: Health Care Quality.An understanding of this concept impacts nurses’ ability to provide patient-centered care.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
