What This Document Is
This document is a focused assessment recording submitted by Samantha Alderman for NURS-FPX 4030, a course within the Improving Quality of Care and Patient Safety (NURS 4020) curriculum at Capella University. It centers on a case study involving a two-year-old patient, Caitlyn Bergan, recently diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, and explores the application of telehealth and evidence-based practice in a remote care setting.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students in advanced nursing programs who are learning to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world patient scenarios. It’s used to demonstrate understanding of remote collaboration, evidence-based care planning, and the challenges of providing healthcare to patients in geographically isolated areas. It exists as a graded component of the course, assessing the student’s ability to synthesize information and propose a practical care plan.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document represents a single student’s approach to a complex case. It is not a comprehensive guide to Cystic Fibrosis treatment or telehealth implementation. It focuses specifically on the application of the Stetler Model to this particular patient and may not cover all aspects of evidence-based practice.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes: a patient background story (Caitlyn Bergan’s case), a proposed evidence-based care plan utilizing telehealth, justification for the care plan based on current research (including citations of Vidal-Alaball et al., 2020, and Wendekier et al., 2021, and the Rural Health Information Hub, 2021), and an explanation of how the Stetler Model was used in the care plan’s development. This preview does *not* include the full video recording, the complete care plan details, or a comprehensive literature review.
