Scenario You are the chair of a newly formed Holistic Nursing Committee at the healthcare setting where you are currently employed (if not currently employed, base it on previous clinical experience). You were recently asked to create a holistic patient intake form that will transform current nursing practice in your facility and enhance the holistic healing environment. Instructions Create a holistic patient intake form and a resource handout for nursing staff that attends to the items below: Create a resource handout for nursing staff that provides background knowledge about holistic nursing practices. Your handout should address the following: Describe at least 1 holistic philosophical, theoretical, and ethical principle in professional nursing practice. Define integrative nutrition and explain why it is the foundation for holistic practice. Provide at least 1 holistic caring strategy that nurses could incorporate in their daily practice. Provide at least 1 therapeutic communication strategy nurses can use in their daily practice. Explain how creating evidence-based integrative, holistic, caring environments will enhance nursing practice in your facility. Explain how self-reflective practice influences an individual's self-care and professional practice. Create an intake form for patient care that documents a holistic assessment of your patients. You have the freedom to design the intake form in a traditional way (questions that assess your patients), or you may want to develop an alternate approach (using a visual graphic for patients to circle areas of wellness/concern). Whatever approach you choose, your intake form must be clearly organized, well designed, and assess all of the following domains of care: Nutritional Assessment Physiological Assessment Emotional Assessment Sociological Assessment Developmental Assessment Spiritual Assessment Cultural Assessment Family Assessment Environmental Assessment Practical Assessment Prevention Assessment Community Assessment Patient Treatment Plan Conventional Treatment Preferences Complementary Treatment Preferences Health Goals Perform an internet search for "patient intake form" and you will find a variety of examples.

Discussion: Review of Current Healthcare IssuesIf you were to ask 10 people what they believe to be the most significant issue facing healthcare today, you might get 10 different answers. Escalating costs? Regulation? Technology disruption?These and many other topics are worthy of discussion.

Whether they are issues of finance, quality, workload, or outcomes, there is no shortage of changes to be addressed.In this Discussion, you examine a national healthcare issue and consider how that issue may impact your work setting. You also analyze how your organization has responded to this issue.To Prepare:Review the Resources and select one current national healthcare issue/stressor to focus on.Reflect on the current national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and think about how this issue/stressor may be addressed in your work setting.By Day 3 of Week 1Post a description of the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for analysis, and explain how the healthcare issue/stressor may impact your work setting. Then, describe how your health system work setting has responded to the healthcare issue/stressor, including a description of what changes may have been implemented.
