Peer Responses-The Application Of Data To Problem-Solving

Hello Timothy,

Good job! Your choice of data to be collected is very well thought out. Chest pain is usually a common complaint and involves many differential diagnoses that may include multiple life-threatening conditions. It is, therefore important to study the chest pain cases for better management in the future (Johnson, 2022). Your data collection process and method are efficient, practical, and achievable. Narrowing down your focus to ST-Segment Myocardial Infarction, Non-ST-Segment Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), or any cardiac arrest pictures relevant to your data.

Furthermore, the knowledge derived from this data can be used as a teaching tool and as evidence-based reasoning empowerment for triage nurses. The use of the emergency severity index is crucial in triaging to avoid under-triaging or over-triaging a patient. A point to note is that the irregulates in recording vital signs such as heart rate, saturation of oxygen, and respiration rate while using the emergency severity index can cause detrimental outcomes (Rashid et al., 2021).

 Response 2

Hello Leatrice,

Thank you for your post. Workplace violence is a crucial issue in psychiatric crisis intake facilities that greatly affects patients and nurses. It is noteworthy that workplace violence in any healthcare setting causes increased absenteeism, declined quality of care delivery, and health workers quitting their professional fields. Apart from physical violence and verbal abuse, workplace violence includes threats to intimidation, harassment, or other hostile, disruptive behaviour at the place of work (Lim et al., 2022). The use of risk assessment questionnaires is crucial in the identification of potential risk factors. As you have observed, the assessment cannot precisely predict the occurrence of the incidents, showing a serious gap in present practices. Notably, your plan of tasking the risk assessment team with writing a report to investigate the seasonal patterns of reported workplace violence cases is a positive move. It is important to note that in many institutions, incidents of workplace violence are not reported (Huckenpahler, 2022). It is also a commendable move you have chosen to capture unreported cases using the check-out list.
