XPost, Admins/Mgr please answer written interview

[cb_rn]

would some of you kind infection control nurses be kind enough to answer these questions for me? they are for an rn-bsn class and i can't get started on the final paper until i have completed these lovely questionairres.

i would be eternally greatful. i have absolutely no local nursing contacts due to a temporary relocation for the summer.

i know they seem more like a test but i didn't write them, its a required format and i have to turn in the answers i receive when i turn in the synthesis paper i write afterward (i need one of these from an educator, infection control, and staff nurse as well, already have one from an aprn)

1. discuss how you utilize and value the knowledge of other disciplines to solve patient care problems. what team members are you most often engaged with, and what is the unique expertise of each?

2. describe how you demonstrate appropriate teambuilding and collaborative strategies when working with interprofessional teams.

3. how do you see care applied within your particular nursing practice situation?

4. describe the roles of different nurses (e.g., clinical nurse specialist, nurse executive, bedside nurse) in promoting safe and quality outcomes of care for diverse populations.

5. describe how you apply quality improvement processes to implement patient safety initiatives and monitor outcomes. how are nurse-sensitive indicators monitored in your institution?

6. describe how nurses facilitate patient-centered care in your institution and practice. how are patient-centered care and advocacy similar to and different from each other?

7. describe a situation in your practice in which you could see that the principles of ethics, professional nursing standards, altruism, and human dignity affected your nursing practice or a specific outcome.

8. describe a patient care initiative in your organization that improved outcomes and enhanced cost effectiveness in care delivery.

9. describe how nursing research has improved or changed a particular aspect of patient care in your institution. how is the research project different from quality improvement activities?

10. describe how information technology and patient data are used in your institution for ethical, effective clinical decision making and how patient confidentiality is protected.

11. describe a particular situation in which you have been involved with the roles and responsibilities of a major healthcare regulatory agency that affected patient care quality, workplace safety, healthcare reimbursement, or the scope of nursing practice.

12. compare nursing practice roles for the registered nurse, clinical nurse leader, advanced practice registered nurse, and clinical nurse specialist in your clinical setting. describe specific differences in their duties, knowledge, and abilities.

I think you are in the wrong forum...You posted in the nursing home Director of Nursing forum. You will probably want to get f a moderator and have them move your post. Most/all of your questions have little to do with the long term care setting.

I'm not at all trying to junk up your section of the forum so please don't take it as such.

I browsed around and found a this part of the forum that reads LTC: Directors nursing and Assistant (DON/ADON). At least that is what I read on the yellow navigation bar above this message in my browser. If it is in the wrong place I hope someone will be kind enough to move it, however I posted where I seemed to read an applicable title.

I need a manager, administrator, DON or ADON to answer these questions and it does not matter what segment of nursing that they work in. While I agree with you that these questions seem a little odd, they are part of an assignment and I was hoping I could find some sympathetic friends on here to help a fellow nurse that is not in a position to find a real life administrator with the hopes that they will squeeze me into their schedule.

I thought that by posting on allnurses, someone that had an extra few minutes could type out their responses when they were already sitting and reading, rather than trying to catch someone at work with a full task list already on their plate.
