Pharmacology Evidence-Based Practice Guideline Presentation

 Pick a medication we have studied this trimester that you will encounter in your future practice as an APRN and discuss the following information in a voice-over PowerPoint or Prezi or Kaltura presentation.

Part 1: The Drug

1. Discuss your specialty and future practice goals
2. Name of medication (generic and trade names)
3. Class
4. Mechanism of action
5. Indications (common)
6. Dosage or route (all, including peds dosing if indicated)
7. Side effects or adverse reactions
8. Monitoring (labs, follow up, when to adjust dosing)
9. Patient education, cultural considerations, special populations (pregnancy, lactation, pediatrics, hepatic/renal failure)
10. Financial considerations. Include insurance coverage information, special programs, & average cost for the patient for a 30 or 90 day supply cash pay.

Part 2: Evidence-Based Practice

Find recently (last 5 years) published evidence-based research studies for the chosen drug AND a clinical practice guideline for your chosen medication discussing its evidence-supported use. Write a brief summary of the evidence (research studies) including indications, dosages, and any important monitoring or education related to the condition it is used to treat. Then discuss the clinical EBP guideline. The clinical practice guideline should come from a well-recognized clinical source such as the CDC, American Heart Association, American College of Nurse-Midwives, American Association of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Association, etc. Sites that are not accepted for drug information or practice guidelines: Medscape, eMedicine, Medline Plus, Healthline, Google, etc. Sources need to be a peer-reviewed academic sites or journals for your supporting references and a large clinical practice body for your EBP guideline. A recently published drug book is acceptable for one of your sources for drug information.

Be sure to include your future practice/ anticipated use of the drug, and any ethical considerations from the APRN standpoint in the use of the medication or treatment plan such as: availability, affordability, and potential pitfalls. Is the drug controversial in any way? Can everyone get it? Are there treatment alternatives or insurance hurdles (prior authorization)?

Format

• APA 7th edition required for citations and references
• Professional format for citations and references
• May use PowerPoint, Prezi, Kaltura, or other presentation software that is easily viewable and does not require special download by faculty
• Voice over presentation required. 
• Include slides as a separate submission plus presentation submission
• Present as if you were presenting to a panel of faculty (medical terminology is OK)
• APA Citations (in-text and reference list) required
• Scholarly peer-reviewed references 
• References must be less than five years old
• Images and videos must not be copyrighted and must be cited if used
• Less text on slides, use bullet points and then speak about the other important information
• This presentation should be no more than 10–15 minutes in length with at least three current, scholarly, and research-based references (not including textbook). Presentations longer than 16 minutes may be subject to penalty in grading.
• 25 points will automatically be deducted for failure to include voice over with the presentation. Grading of content will then begin from there. 

Helpful Hints

• Minimal use of quotes
  • Only use direct quotes where necessary to express an important point or where the exact wording is important. Otherwise, paraphrasing is preferred in academic writing. Remember even if paraphrased the ideas should be cited if they are not your original thoughts. When in doubt, cite it out. 
• Succinct scholarly writing–don’t use 8 words when 6 will do.
• For presentations, use bullet points, and brief summaries on the slides. Don’t just read the slides to your audience.
• No excessive text on a single slide, be sure the font is readable and viewable on the background for even those with low vision (be wary of light colored text unless background is very dark).
• Please include notes
• Use correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, and terminology
• Use clear sentence structure, with a smooth flow of words and ideas
• The files for voice over or video presentations are very large. Allow plenty of time for uploading into Canvas and once done, log out and back in to recheck that your upload was successful once completed. This can take time so be patient!

Assignment Content The employees at your organization have formed a union, and the bargaining process now begins. Write a case study in which you analyze the situation. First, begin with background information about the negotiation, and make certain to address the areas below. • Identify the state where the organization is located. Is the state a right-to-work state? If yes, explain what this means. If no, explain what this means. Why are the employees deciding to unionize? What are the mandatory bargaining subjects? Other than wages and hours, what are five other terms and conditions of employment? What are permissive bargaining subjects that will be negotiated? List at least five. • Second, you need to select members of your bargaining team. You will select four supervisors who were identified in the Unit VI Lesson. Discuss why you selected each supervisor and compare/contrast their conflict management styles. Each supervisor must have a different conflict style. Explain how each supervisor can contribute to conflict resolution strategies used during negotiation. (See other attachment) • Third, explain the two collective bargaining strategies, and identify which one you will recommend your team to use. Explain and support your rationale. • Finally, what will you propose happens if a labor management agreement is not reached by your team and the employee representatives? Your case study must be a minimum of five pages in length, not counting the title and reference pages. Your case study should present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You must use three academically reliable sources to support your analysis. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment and make certain to include in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Assignment Content Continue from previous assignment (attached) Part 3: Communication/Stakeholder Plan For the project selected in Unit III, create a thorough communication plan/stakeholder management plan. Your plan should include the following information: • Identify all stakeholders and understand their needs, expectations, and potential impact on the project. • Develop strategies to effectively engage stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle. • First, analyze stakeholders to determine their interests, influence, and potential impact on project success. • Second, create a stakeholder management plan that outlines specific approaches and communication plans tailored to each stakeholder or stakeholder group. • Third, inform stakeholders, address their concerns, and integrate their input in the project. • Fourth, develop and adhere to a schedule for updating stakeholders on progress and developments. • Finally, proactively build relationships with stakeholders to reduce risk and increase the likelihood of project success. The deliverable for this element of the project is a table that you may create in Word or Excel. The table should include at least 10 project stakeholders using the following headings: • Stakeholder • Communication Needs · • Method/Medium • Timing/Frequency Identify the stakeholders’ role in the project based in the following categories: • Unaware • Resistant • Neutral • Supportive • Leading Finally, include a column for Strategies to succinctly list your planned approach to the management of each stakeholder. Please note that if you create your table in Excel, you will need to paste it into a Word document to submit along with Parts 4 and 5. Part 4: Resource Acquisition Plan For the project you selected in Unit III, create a project resource acquisition plan. You will use Figures 5.1 and 5.2 in the textbook as a guide. Your plan should also include the following information: • Determine resources (including human, physical, and material) needed from the project plan. • Acquire those resources (either internally or externally). • This can include recruiting team members, sourcing equipment, and ensuring facilities and materials are ready. • Manage resources efficiently throughout the project, such as: • assigning roles and responsibilities to team members, • providing team members with necessary tools and training, and • adapting and updating the process continuously to address changes in project scope, schedule, or other external factors (Carter, 2023). Your plan should include an introduction, and should be able to answer the following questions: • What policies and procedures exist in the project environment that governs resource acquisition? • What are my criteria for resource selection? • How many resources am I likely to require? • What skill sets will I require? • With whom should I plan to negotiate for resources, and how? • How do I document and explain the detailed requirements in terms of time required, skillsets, budget, and accounting? Feel free to make use of tables with the resource acquisition plan when describing itemized elements such as skillsets, numbers, criteria, and policies and procedures. Note also that the plan should end with an example of a project work package. An example work package can be found in the Unit V. Your resource acquisition plan should be at least two pages in length. Part 5: Team Development Plan For the project selected in Unit III, create a simple project team development plan. You will use Figures 6.1 and 6.2 in the textbook as a guide for creating your plan. You should be informed by the following information: Developing a team involves improving competencies, team member interaction, and overall team environment to enhance project performance. This process can use techniques such as team-building exercises, training, performance assessments, and conflict resolution strategies to build trust, foster team cohesion, and promote a collaborative atmosphere (Carter, 2023). Ultimately, the goal is to enhance individual and team skills, align team members with project goals, and ensure a motivated and high-performing team. Managing a team involves tracking team performance, providing feedback, resolving issues, and managing changes to optimize project execution. These can be accomplished by conducting performance appraisals, offering recognition and rewards, and addressing conflicts promptly and effectively to ensure team members remain productive and focused on project goals, while also maintaining a positive and collaborative working environment (Carter, 2023). Managing the team effectively helps overcome obstacles to performance, foster continuous improvement, and maintain alignment with the project’s objectives. Your plan should include an introduction and should include the following: • Project kick-off and ground rules • Emotional intelligence promotion among the project team members • Conflict resolution strategies • Ethical communication practices. • Tracking and measurement of project goals Compile the team development plan that addresses the items above. Feel free to use a table to summarize your policy and approach. Your team development plan must be at least two pages in length.
