Shared Governance and Delegation in Nursing
[ send me this essay ]
A 14 page expansion of a 4-page paper by the same name. The health care facility that maintains a shared governance model is able to make greater use of all the resources available to it. Typically, each patient care department of a facility such as this has a nurse manager who serves as a facilitator in unit governance and as a liaison between direct-care nursing staff and nursing administrators. This organizational structure is more conducive to true shared governance than hierarchical straight-line organizational structures that have the effect of insulating administrators from those providing direct patient care. It also ensures that those having the greatest degree of direct patient contact have a voice in establishing policy for both the present and the future. The paper discusses shared governance more as a philosophical approach to management than as a “how to.” Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Sharps Disposal
[ send me this essay ]

For example, lancets and lancing devices are used in diabetic care in order to obtain blood samples for glucose monitoring (Lancing devices, 2006). On the other hand, "sharps" also refers to needles and other injection devices, which are required by other treatment regimes. While it has always been necessary to dispose of sharps in a safe manner, the issue has become crucial due to the threat of HIV and hepatitis infection. Federal requirements are discussed. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
