A Sample Answer For the Assignment: NURS 8200 Major Assignment Membership In Professional Organizations<\/strong><\/h2>\nTitle: NURS 8200 Major Assignment Membership In Professional Organizations<\/strong><\/h2>\nMajor Assignment Membership in Professional Organizations<\/a><\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nNurses, like other professionals, need professional growth and excellence, therefore a need to look at possible avenues for fostering such growth and development. Professional growth ensures that Ph.D. or a DNP prepared nurse can appropriately identify a clinical problem and trigger a research effort as a way of solving such a problem. This week’s discussion focuses on the identification of a clinical problem worth attention. Besides, the discussion outlines the plans in place to join a professional nursing organization.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Problem Suitable For Research<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nThe clinical practice environment entails taking care of many patients with various clinical conditions; therefore, various issues or problems usually arise that need improvement or a complete change. Some of these problems can better be handled through research efforts by DNP and PhD-prepared nurses. One of the problems occurring in a clinical environment and is suitable for research is catheter-associated urinary tract infections. These are infections that come as a result of the insertion, maintenance, and or care of urinary catheters (Tenke et al., 2017).\u00a0 Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are very common in clinical settings due to the fact that the rate of use of indwelling urinary catheters is high. For instance, a recent study showed that 24% of patients in US hospitals use indwelling urinary catheters. Besides, the figures elsewhere are not any better since patients 26% and 18% of patients in Australia and the UK hospitals use the indwelling catheters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections warrant attention due to the negative effects or impact it has on patients, health care facilities and the healthcare system. One of the effects is that the condition causes longer hospital stays for the admitted patients, a situation which can expose the patients to other hospital-acquired infections (Cao et al., 2018). Besides, the treatment becomes more difficult due to enhanced antimicrobial resistance. The other reason why the condition deserves attention from the nursing perspective is that it can be reduced through appropriate nursing interventions. While there are various innovative interventions such as cleaning of the meatal region before inserting the catheters using appropriate agents such as saline or Chlorhexidine (<\/span>Fasugba et al., 2019)<\/span>, ensuring that the indwelling catheters are promptly removed from the patient when not needed, among other things, the condition still persists and common in healthcare settings (Mota & Oliveira, 2019).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Outline<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\u00a0<\/span>Nursing professional bodies are vital for the growth of a nurse as a scholar-practitioner. With membership in such professional organizations, a nurse gets access to many benefits such as current updates regarding the condition, advocacy opportunities, educational endeavours, and scholarships, among others (Bindon, 2017). I am therefore planning to join a nursing professional organization. Having been a member of the National Student Nurse Association, which is meant for nursing students, I plan to join a professional nursing body once done with my program. One of the professional nursing organizations I intend to join is the National League for Nursing. This organization has the potential of supporting the development of my scholarly project as well as my education. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
One way this organization will support my future projects is through nursing research grants. Nursing research can be expensive; however, the opportunity of getting nursing research grants offered by the National League for nursing can make an individual achieve dreams of being an accomplished researcher. Among my major aims as a nurse is to be an accomplished nurse professional, a feat that is not possible without professional development support. The National League for Nursing offers professional development to its members; therefore, I believe that by joining this organization, I will be able to accomplish my nursing professional goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\nThis week’s discussion has focused on a clinical problem that is worth the attention of researchers. The problem has been identified as catheter-associated urinary tract infections, researchable since it can be controlled through nursing interventions. Joining a nursing professional organization is a step towards professional development and keeping updated in the current trends of nursing as a profession.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
