NURS-FPX4900 Assessment 1 Assessing the Problem, Leadership, Collaboration, Communication, Change Management, and Policy Considerations

Example 2

Nurses, who make up the majority of the healthcare workforce, are vital to patient care. Nurses in all professional roles strive to improve organizational processes and achieve positive patient outcomes. In particular, nurses identify problems, plan interventions/strategies, and implement the strategies-skills, all of which directly impact patient outcomes and organizational effectiveness (Wakefield et al., 2021). Patient care is constantly evolving, and this evolution is due to the initial identification of a problem and the pursuit of solutions. 

However, before embarking on a specific change management strategy, the best approach is to assess and review credible evidence to determine appropriate interventions. As a result, nurses must be actively involved in the entire change process, beginning with the prodromal phase of justifying the appropriateness of interventions to be implemented (Wakefield et al., 2021). Using hypertension as an example, the goal of the following discussion is to elaborate on the problem extensively, drawing on evidence from relevant databases, and to discuss the effectiveness of nursing standards/or policies in improving the patient problem, as well as the leadership strategies relevant to the problem identified.
