TOPIC 1 QUESTION 1

Review the course objectives and consider how you can develop the specified skills and competencies while applying clinical practice guidelines as an AGACNP providing patient care and creating appropriate patient-centered care plans. List three to five clinical objectives and write a 250-word summary of your plan to incorporate the course objectives and clinical practice guidelines for your clinical experience. Include discussion of what you hope to achieve. You will refer back to this information during Topic 16 when you are asked to reflect on your clinical objectives.

After posting the objectives and summary in the discussion forum, save the post as a Word document and upload it to the "External Documents" section of the Typhon website. Refer to the directions for uploading content to the Typhon website in the Student Success Center.

ANSWER

In primary healthcare settings, the major objective of Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (AGACNP) is to provide acute care to adult patients. AGACNP concerns to secure the health of patients with a critical medical condition. AGACNPs are trained to become skillful. The competencies are achieved by inter-professional experiences. For example, they assist the mentors. Assistance promotes evidence-based practice in AGACNPs. Working with a well-experienced mentor allows them to gain potential in analytical skills, advanced healthcare knowledge, assurance of care delivery, and developing patient-centered care plans.

Clinical practice guidelines are developed for the training of AGACNP. The main objectives for the implementation of these guidelines are:

· Provision of acute care to geriatric patients in ICU, trauma wards, and emergency rooms

· Assist mentors in assessment in clinical settings to become competent

· Care coordination via education, geriatric care programs, and clinical visits (Squires, Murali, Greenberg, Herrmann, & D’amico, 2019).

The responsibilities of AGACNPs varied from primary nurse practitioners (NP). AGACNPs attend the geriatric patients from the time of admission to discharge in hospitals. After the patient gets admitted, AGACNPs diagnosed the disease and assess the severity of the disease. They make care-plans according to the patient's condition. In case of chronic disease, long-term care plans are suggested. The care plans include treatment and dietary recommendations. AGACNPs are trained to deal with the psyche of geriatric patients. Geriatric patients behave differently when they are ill(Jaul & Barron, 2017). AGACNPs educate people about their health status and stage of illness. They create patient’s and patient’s family understanding of the management of a disease. They consult with other clinicians and physicians about patient status at the time of discharge. The consultation offers safe and efficient care for the patients. Because of the provision of this kind of coordinated care, they are known as the coordinators of care.
