Shared Governance and Delegation in Nursing
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page paper discussing the benefits of operating under the principles of these two approaches to nursing. There are several levels at which health care facilities maintain care-giving employees. Not all of them require specific licensing, but lack of licensing prevents them from operating in the realm of the RN or LPN. All organizations are obliged to operate with the greatest efficiency they can find. Keeping individuals “in their place” can appear in the short term to be more efficient, but operating as a functioning team committed to patient care is truly the more efficient approach.

Shared Governance and Delegation in Nursing
[ send me this essay ]
A 14 page expansion of a 4-page paper by the same name. The health care facility that maintains a shared governance model is able to make greater use of all the resources available to it. Typically, each patient care department of a facility such as this has a nurse manager who serves as a facilitator in unit governance and as a liaison between direct-care nursing staff and nursing administrators. This organizational structure is more conducive to true shared governance than hierarchical straight-line organizational structures that have the effect of insulating administrators from those providing direct patient care. It also ensures that those having the greatest degree of direct patient contact have a voice in establishing policy for both the present and the future. The paper discusses shared governance more as a philosophical approach to management than as a “how to.” Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Shared Governance in Nursing
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing the value and implementation of shared governance. Institutions that have implemented shared governance have instituted councils that address specific categories of need. The characteristic common to each council in each facility is that of communication. This communication occurs between members of the council, members of all councils, nurses outside council posts, administrators and all others involved in patient care in any form. The communication in itself is beneficial. Shared governance gives it a venue in which to occur. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Sharek, et al (2004)/Low-Income Kids with Asthma
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page article critique that examines a study by Sharek, et al (2004), which looked at data concerning asthma disease management in children. While asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease, there is currently “no validated ‘gold standard’ for measuring’ asthma outcomes (Sharek, et al, 2004, p. 797). Frequently asthma intervention are evaluated by utilizing a variety of disease status outcomes, but this can lead to ambiguous information and, subsequently, an increase in errors.

Sharps Disposal
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses the proper disposal of sharps. The generic term of "sharps" covers many types of sharp blades or needles that are associated with healthcare treatment regimes. For example, lancets and lancing devices are used in diabetic care in order to obtain blood samples for glucose monitoring (Lancing devices, 2006). On the other hand, "sharps" also refers to needles and other injection devices, which are required by other treatment regimes. While it has always been necessary to dispose of sharps in a safe manner, the issue has become crucial due to the threat of HIV and hepatitis infection. Federal requirements are discussed. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Shock in Burns and Spinal Transection
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page paper discussing the effect of fluid management in (1) a partial-thickness burn of 40% BSA and (2) transection of the spinal cord at T-2. Both conditions warrant monitoring fluid intake and output, but for different reasons. Manipulating fluid intake in the burn victim is a matter of preserving normal function of unaffected, vital systems by ensuring that the patient receives electrolytes lost through massive fluid loss as a result of severe burning. Close fluid management is important in the spinal cord injury victim as well, but it generally is not as tightly critical as it is for the victim of severe burning. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
