Dnp Final Report: Developing Competence And Improving Patient Safety With Documentation Training In The Simulated Environment, Laura Zebreski
Dnp Final Report: Developing Competence And Improving Patient Safety With Documentation Training In The Simulated Environment, Laura Zebreski
DNP Final Reports
With the advent of electronic health records, nursing documentation has declined in quality. Poor documentation exposes patients to safety risks. Nursing documentation is subject to legal standards set by the Texas State Board of Nursing. A DNP scholarly project was designed to create a learning and safety intervention to train student nurses to provide correct documentation before entering clinical settings. The goal of this project was to prepare nursing students to provide quality documentation that fulfills the legal standard to attempt to correct the current deficiencies seen in practice and promote patient safety. For this project, the students took a …

End-Of-Life Simulation Education, Lucas Farris

In the current healthcare workforce, there exists a lack of comfort and knowledge about providing end-of-life (EOL) care that will only continue to worsen without prompt changes to the delivery of education (Jablonski et al., 2020). The lack of knowledge and comfort expressed in providing EOL care leads to a nurse’s moral and physical difficulty when a patient chooses palliative care or hospice. This is a detriment to patients and should be a consideration for schools of nursing when developing curriculum and clinical activities. By promoting changes in curriculum and the addition of an EOL simulation at the undergraduate level, …
Using Simulation To Develop Clinical Judgment In New-To-Practice Emergency Department Nurses: An Evidence-Based Benchmark Project, Moreno Divine Comiskey
Using Simulation To Develop Clinical Judgment In New-To-Practice Emergency Department Nurses: An Evidence-Based Benchmark Project, Moreno Divine Comiskey
MSN Capstone Projects
In the past 6 months, the Emergency Department at the George Washington University Hospital has onboarded over twice as many new-to-practice nurses as experienced emergency nurses. Studies suggest that these new-to-practice nurses often are deficient in clinical judgment, and our observations at our hospital support these findings. Researchers have found that onboarding programs that include simulation have success in improving clinical judgment, and advocate for its use. Simulation gives another angle to the onboarding program in addition to preceptorship and classroom learning, and allows participants to bridge the gap between theory and practice safely and without fear of harming a …
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using High-Fidelity Simulators, Rebecca Walker
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Using High-Fidelity Simulators, Rebecca Walker
MSN Capstone Projects
Simulation and high-fidelity simulators (HFS) have become an important part of nursing education and its implementation into the curricula. It has become important in enhancing their knowledge and the development of competent nurses by reinforcement of skills that have been previously learned. HFS also increases students' confidence and reinforces their skills and knowledge while introducing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The literature suggests that overall the students have greater retention of CPR skills if HFS is used instead of classical CPR training with low-fidelity simulators (LFS). However, some studies suggest that using HFS does not lead to retention of CPR skills or …
