Nursing Project Plan (DNP Project)

/0 Comments/in /by
Nursing Project Plan 
This assignment is considered a stepping-stone for the DNP project (PROJECT TOPIC: For the elderly patient in the medical-surgical unit at HM Hospital, will implementation of hourly rounding by nurses as compared to current practice will decrease fall in ninety days? ).
Based upon both needs and resources that have been identified in prior assignments (see attached), students are to design an evidence-based solution/intervention intended to address the need(s) of the subject population.
This plan should be based on the concept of maximizing use of available resources (consider your inputs from the logic model you created) to optimize outcomes of the subject population.
Reference the school Project Timeline (Jan -March 2021) considering your project plan/timeline.
This plan/timeline will be utilized over the three DNP Practicum courses (DNP Practicum 1 Spring 2020, DNP Practicum II Fall 2020, and DNP Practicum III Spring 2021) and should be developed to include all necessary tasks and meetings for implementation, management and evaluation of your project.
Also using excel for the project plan see the youtube link below. The grading rubric is also attached.
Please follow the attached grading RUBRIC. https://youtu.be/kpLnxV3a1bE ***A Gantt chart can be created if preferred, but any timeline format is fine as long as it is easily adaptable for change.
This is one of many videos that I found helpful on YouTube. https://youtu.be/kpLnxV3a1bE

Psychiatric Nursing Anxiety Case Study – Vignette

Psychiatric Nursing Anxiety Case Study – Vignette 
Case Study 
Neela has split up with her boyfriend of four years. “Nick was abusive, but now he’s in jail, so it’s been easy this year to make some changes,” she says. She is confident that she will never go back to him, but says she’s left with “some residue—like nightmares, hyperalertness, a little too much drinking, and the blues.” She says she has always been a light social drinker and denies a history of alcoholism, although she struggles with alcohol now. She also reports that she sleeps “too light”; she can’t get to sleep, and then when she does, she’s hypervigilant, sitting up and thinking that she hears him coming into her apartment every time she drifts off. She wakes up in such moments in a cold sweat with her heart pounding in her temples, she hyperventilates and everything feels unreal, “like I’m in some creepy slasher film on late-night TV. I’m always so glad when the sun comes up!”
The alcohol “takes the edge off” her nerves and “helps with the depression.” Asked if she is sad most of the time, she says, “No. I really am over him, but I’m still scared. I get collect calls from him in prison, but I never accept them. I think if I could just get a different job, a different apartment, in a different city, I’d be fine. I could start all over again. I’ve sent out résumés, but until something comes up, I’m sort of stuck here in limbo where he knows he can find me. Ultimately, then, I’m here to treat this depression. I’m depressed, right?”.
1. Explain to Neela at least three differences between depression and anxiety—choosing three that apply in particular to her case.
2. List your top two short-term goals and interventions you would recommend for Neela.
