The Office of the National Coordinator’s (ONC’s) current goals are to promote interoperability and optimize EHRs with digital devices. These goals will be realized through application of the Systems Development Life Cycle model (SDLC).
Discuss either one of these questions:
Do you believe the industry followed best practices in the use of SDLC as rapid adoption of EHRs occurred across the nation? If not, why not?
or
Do you believe that hospitals and clinics can utilize SDLC best practices to move forward with the Promoting Interoperability Program to optimize EHRs that have been adopted? If so, how? If not, why do you believe hospitals and clinics may fail to do so?

About me:
1st generation college graduate as well as a immigrant from South Korea. Lived a year in homeless shelters during middle school due to financial hardships and difficulties my single mother was facing raising two children. Last semester of my senior year in college, I had opportunity to study abroad in Malawi for 3 weeks (one of the poorest countries in the world) and saw lack of healthcare. I then decided I wanted to help others, graduated 3 months later and enrolled myself back in school to become a nurse. I did L&D rotation at UCSF mission bay campus and preceptorship at UCSF Parnassus campus on 15L. I also gave birth at UCSF mission bay campus so UCSF holds a lot of memories to me. I’ve always wanted to work at UCSF and it’s my top choice hospital. I never knew I wanted to work with children until I did my pediatric rotation at Sutter Health hospital and found myself loving every moment of it and being drawn to the tiny humans. Maybe it’s because I have a child of my own but I genuinely want to help them.

Assignment Overview:
This discussion-based assignment is designed to facilitate in-depth engagement with evidence-based practice (EBP) by critically examining a clinical problem and exploring evidence to guide potential solutions. Through peer interaction, students will deepen their understanding of EBP principles, refine their critical thinking skills, and enhance their ability to evaluate research evidence for clinical application.

Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to foster a collaborative learning environment where students apply evidence-based methodologies to address real-world clinical problems.
Skills: Students will utilize structured tools like the EBP matrix to strengthen their ability to evaluate and implement evidence-based interventions in nursing practice which is an important skill for an advanced practice nurse in healthcare.
For the purpose of this discussion, students will utilize structured tools like the EBP matrix to strengthen their ability to evaluate and implement evidence-based interventions into practice.
After the completion of this assignment, the student will be able to:
Identify a clinical problem and formulate a focused PICO question.
Conduct a systematic literature review to locate high-quality evidence.
Use the Johns Hopkins Nursing EBP Tool to evaluate and categorize evidence based on its level and quality.
Develop an evidence matrix summarizing findings to support clinical decision-making.

Task: For this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to critique the role of the DNP in the use of an assigned evidence-based practice (EBP) model and apply it to a chosen practice problem.
This assignment is intended to be a discussion and interaction among peers. Please follow APA formatting/structure for all other aspects of the discussion. Peer reviewed journal references are required for your postings and will strengthen your points within the discussion (see rubric).
This discussion question will be “worth” a total of 15 points of your overall grade for this course. Grading will be assigned by the faculty based on the quality and content of your posts; your level of participation in the discussion will be considered in the grading. Students are expected to cross post to at least 2 peers in the discussion. Your cross post should provide a substantial posting that offers new or additional information to what was originally discussed. Including “I agree” or “nice work” comments do not constitute as a substantial cross post and may affect your grade.
Discussion Limit: The initial post should be approximately 500 words. The cross post should be approximately 250 words. Expected word counts do not include references.

Priority nursing assessments and patient teaching for patients with bipolar disorder prescribed lithium, SSRI’s and atypical antipsychotics
**********My section in this slide is to come up with ( Nursing Assessment) for SSRI’s for patients with bipolar disorder *************
Below I found Nursing Assessments for SSRIs but after scanning it , it said I used AI generated text.
Nursing Assessment for SSRIs:
Mental Status Examination:
Assess mood, thought process, affects, and cognitive function.
Monitor for signs of mania or hypomania, as SSRIs can potentially trigger these episodes in bipolar patients.
Medication History:
Review the patient’s history of psychiatric medications to identify previous responses or adverse effects.
Confirm adherence to prescribed medications and any recent changes in dosage.
Side Effects Monitoring:
Regularly assess for common side effects of SSRIs, such as gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, diarrhea), sexual dysfunction, insomnia, and weight changes.
Monitor for more serious side effects like serotonin syndrome (symptoms include confusion, rapid heart rate, and high blood pressure).
Suicidal Ideation Assessment:
Evaluate the patient’s risk for suicide or self-harm, especially during medication initiation or dose adjustments.
Use standardized tools to assess suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Vital Signs Monitoring:
Regularly check vital signs to detect any physiological changes due to medication effects.
Lab Tests:
Consider baseline laboratory tests (e.g., liver function tests) to monitor potential drug interactions or side effects if indicated.
Family and Social Support Assessment:
Evaluate the support system available to the patient, including family dynamics and social resources to aid recovery.

https://advisor.lww.com/lna/document.do?bid=43&did=1449686
You should pick ONE concern from the given list. From that one concern, create TWO nursing diagnoses. For each diagnosis, create a SMART goal. Each SMART goal should have 3-5 NURSING interventions WITH rationales. Remember to use at least ONE scholarly source.

Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint

Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?
Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment? 
Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5-TR criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).
