FLORIDA STATE
The diagnosis of psychiatric emergencies can include a wide range of problems—from serious drug reactions to abuse and suicidal ideation/behaviors. Regardless of care setting, the PMHNP must know how to address emergencies, coordinate care with other members of the health care team and law enforcement officials (when indicated), and effectively communicate with family members who are often overwhelmed in emergency situations. In their role, PMHNPs can ensure a smooth transition from emergency mental health care to follow-up care, and also bridge the physical–mental health divide in healthcare.
In this week’s Assignment, you explore legal and ethical issues surrounding psychiatric emergencies, and identify evidence-based suicide and violence risk assessments.
TO PREPARE
Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about psychiatric emergencies and the ethical and legal issues surrounding these events.

Identify one evidence-based violence risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.
BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 8
Submit your Assignment. Attach copies of or links to the suicide and violence risk assessments you selected.

From your home address, write the distance (in miles or partial miles) to the following places. Give the proper name of each site, detailed services provided, and older adults’ perspective.

For this assessment, you will create a video reflection that addresses either an interprofessional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced.
Introduction
Interprofessional collaboration is a critical aspect of a nurse’s work. Through interprofessional collaboration, practitioners and patients share information and consider each other’s perspectives to better understand and address the many factors that contribute to health and well-being (Sullivan et al., 2015). Essentially, by collaborating, health care practitioners and patients can have better health outcomes. Nurses, who are often at the frontlines of interacting with various groups and records, are full partners in this approach to health care.
Reflection is a key part of building interprofessional competence, as it allows you to look critically at experiences and actions through specific lenses. From the standpoint of interprofessional collaboration, reflection can help you consider potential reasons for and causes of people’s actions and behaviors (Saunders et al., 2016). It also can provide opportunities to examine the roles team members adopted in a given situation as well as how the team could have worked more effectively.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the What is Reflective Practice? activity. The activity consists of five questions that will allow you the opportunity to practice self-reflection. The information gained from completing this formative will help with your success on the Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video assessment. Completing formatives is also a way to demonstrate course engagement
Note: The Example Kaltura Reflection demonstrates how to cite sources appropriately in an oral presentation/video. Your assessment will reflect on either a professional collaboration you experienced or a collaboration case study scenario that you imagine you experienced

Professional Context
This assessment will help you to become a reflective practitioner. By considering your own successes and shortcomings in interprofessional collaboration, you will increase awareness of your problem-solving abilities. You will create a Kaltura video of your reflections, including a discussion of best practices for interprofessional collaboration and leadership strategies, supported by references to the literature.
You may choose to reflect on a collaborative interprofessional project you worked on in your current or former place of practice, or you may choose to imagine that you worked on the collaborative interprofessional scenario presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video [PDF] resource.
As part of an initiative to build effective collaboration at a site where you work as a nurse, you have been asked to:
Reflect on an interprofessional collaborative project.
Examine what happened during the collaboration.
Identify positive aspects and areas for improvement.
Research best practice for interprofessional collaboration.
Use lessons learned from your research and experience to create a video reflection (5-10 minutes) that share suggestions for improving interprofessional collaboration that can be shared with leadership and colleagues.
Instructions
Using Kaltura, record a video (5–10 minutes) where you reflect on an interprofessional collaboration experience, proposing recommendations for how to improve interprofessional collaboration that can be shared with leadership and colleagues. Support these recommendations with references to the literature.
The interprofessional project that you reflect on may be one that you collaborated on at your current or former place of practice, or you may choose to imagine you collaborated on the interprofessional project presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video [PDF]resource and reflect on that.
Be sure that your assessment addresses the following criteria. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you will know what is needed for a distinguished score:

Here are a few additional tips for success on this assessment:
o
Write
out a script for your video (similar to how you would write a paper) to ensure
everything is covered. Try to create a section for each area of the grading
rubric to clearly structure your ideas.
o
You are
not required to upload this script because I can only grade based on what is
covered in your video. However, I would strongly encourage you to upload it
(even if it is not in APA format) because it can be really helpful when I am
grading and can help to ensure you earn the highest score possible. For
example, I will sometimes refer back to it when trying to confirm which
reference you are discussing or which section a statement is meant to be in.
This can also be very helpful if there are any gaps in audio.
o
Be sure
your reference list follows APA format – this is the part where APA formatting
will be graded.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS SUMMARY (2 PAGES)
What is theory, and how does it shape research? Most research is based on a theoretical framework. Theoretical frameworks, also known as “conceptual frameworks” or “models,” are used in nursing research to provide a structure for organizing and understanding the research problem and to guide the research design and analysis. Theoretical frameworks are shaped over time as empirical data and observations regarding a phenomenon accumulate.
For this Assignment, you compare two theoretical frameworks used in nursing research and explain how each theoretical framework informs nursing research.
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this Module.
Reflect on the theoretical frameworks presented and focus on two theoretical frameworks for this Assignment.
Consider how these frameworks might be used in nursing research.
The Assignment
Select two theoretical frameworks from this Module’s readings.
Summarize their key assumptions. Be specific.
Describe how the theoretical frameworks you selected are used in nursing research. Be specific and include examples.
Compare the two frameworks and explain the similarities and differences between them. Be sure to cite sources in APA format as needed.
