BIOS242, Week 1-OL

Name:

Lab 1: Lab Safety

Learning Objectives

· Use the correct clothing to work in the lab

· Describe the do’s and don’ts in a laboratory

· Correctly use the lab safety equipment

· React in an emergency situation

Introduction: About Lab safety virtual simulations lab
Laboratories can be very dangerous, especially if you’ve never set foot in one before. So in this simulation, you’ll get the chance to make your debut in a virtual one! You will learn how to use the lab safety equipment, and how to react in case of an emergency. Detect and eliminate sources of danger and pass on your lab safety knowledge to friends.

Identify hazards
Safety first! Always pay attention to potential hazards when you enter a lab. In this simulation, you will create a tidy and safe working environment by identifying and eliminating hazards in the lab. You will be introduced to the lab safety rules and the safety equipment, which will help you and your colleagues, if something was to go wrong in a real lab.

Emergency training
You will be introduced to the basic hazard symbols used to categorize dangerous materials. You’ll use this knowledge to prevent dangerous situations, like acid spills. But you will also learn how to deal with unlabeled, potentially hazardous chemicals. By mastering such situations in this simulation, you won’t have to worry about being exposed to any real danger. You will learn how to operate the eye-wash and also get an introduction to various other pieces of lab safety equipment.

Spread your knowledge
It is important to share your newly acquired knowledge with your colleagues. In this simulation, you will meet your friend Lucy who’s never worked in a lab before. Pass on your lab safety knowledge and help her dress appropriately for a day in the lab.

Will you be able to apply your knowledge, and make sure that you and your friend stay safe in the laboratory?

1. Purpose: Please describe in complete sentences and in your own words, the purpose of this experiment.

2. Why is it important to wear closed toe shoes in lab?

3. What is the importance of cleaning work bench before and after use?

4. If you have spillage or work bench contamination, what are the steps required to make the surface sterile again?

5. What are the different types of hazardous material generated in Micro lab? Give some ways of their proper disposal.

6. Write a reflection on this lab exercise- 5 sentences on what you learned with this simulation.

literature review

/in /by

Write a detailed, 2-page description of an appropriate literature search strategy and execute that strategy by locating a minimum of 20 scholarly publications. Then, analyze each source and identify main themes. Also, complete steps 2 and 3

Step 1: Develop and Execute an Appropriate Search Strategy.

Write a detailed, 2-page description of an appropriate literature search strategy. Then, use that strategy to locate a minimum of 20 scholarly sources, published within the last five years (unless seminal, practice guideline, or consensus statement), addressing your PICOT question. You may need to find additional sources if you do not have at least two sources that address the same main theme (see Step 3).

Step 2: Document and Analyze the Evidence.

Analyzing the evidence you have gathered in a literature search is necessary to develop a coherent synthesis of your findings. Use the 

Evidence Table [XLSX]


 Download Evidence Table [XLSX]
template to help you document and analyze the source materials you have located for this assessment.

Step 3: Identify Main Themes in the Literature.

Organizing your evidence by main themes or ideas addressed in each source will help you identify commonalities and differences in research questions, methodologies, and findings, and gaps in the research. Sort your evidence using the 

Main Themes Table [XLSX]


 Download Main Themes Table [XLSX]
and locate additional sources if you do not have at least two sources that address the same main theme.

Reflection on AACN Essentials Informatics Self-Assessment

Discussion reply

Hello Dr. G. and Classmates,

                I feel I have learned a lot throughout this course! Thank you, Dr. G and to all of my classmates for a great 8 weeks! I feel I am taking a lot of information with me as I prepare to complete my BSN journey in the next 8 weeks! Best of luck to you all, and my wish for you is to be successful and always diligent in your journey, and most importantly use your knowledge to provide the best care possible to all of the patient’s lives you will touch!  Now, to discuss how far we have all come!

                My assessment score improved by 5 points! A couple of areas I have noticed improvement in are understanding the importance of having the redesign of workflow and care processes in place before starting care technology. I also realize how important it is not only for the patient, but for us nurses as well, as we are set to a higher standard of care that we must provide for our patients, and understanding what makes that happen is imperative. So, understanding the data from all sources that include technology is necessary to the care we give our patients. I also now realize how important it is for us to be involved in policy and procedure development. We are the eyes and ears of our patients, what we see or hear them say helps us to improve and develop policies and procedures that will assist with providing them optimal care!

                I will be able to apply this information to improve patient care by being able to stay up to date on the most recent information and technology, as well as monitor the systems and programs that are already in place and be able to be a part of necessary changes that not only benefit the patient, but us as nurses as well. Ultimately, we will always be looking for ways to improve the care we provide for our patients, but it is necessary to understand how and why. As technology continues to grow and improve continuously, I feel that we must stay on board with the most up to date information and know how to implement it into the care we provide! Thank you all for a great 8 weeks! Best of luck in your future endeavors!

During the course, you have done a thorough analysis of a company and the health care subsector in which the company operates now is the time to look at all your findings and insights and frame the situation of the company in terms of cost, access, and quality. Specifically:

  1. Are there any major cost-containment policies or practices from private insurers or the government that affect your company? Are there any internal/ competitive forces that are trying to do the same?
  2. How does your company (and industry) is assessed in terms of its ability to offer access to all populations?
  3. What kind of quality assessment and assurance is done? Are there any positive or negative stories about the quality of health care services of the organization?

Purpose

Information literacy is critically important for all nurses, especially APNs. APNs must be able to determine what information is needed, find the information, critique the information, provide care based on this information, and evaluate the outcomes of the process. Sound challenging? Continue to reflect upon strategies to facilitate this process. Provide a brief response (100 words or less)
