To be professionally accountable in nursing is necessary and vital for patient care and safety. According to The American Nurses Association Code of Ethics, the definition of accountability “ is to be answerable to oneself and others for one’s own actions.”
The nurse has to ensure that while delivering care, accountability is owed to themselves and the client, the client’s family, colleagues, the workplace and the profession.

An example of professional accountability is during the admission process of a client to a psychiatric unit for the first time. The client is involuntary and is not sure what this status means for them. With professional accountability, the nurse explains the involuntary status and also ensures that the family understands what this status is in a psychiatric facility. Due to the fact that the hospital is a teaching facility and nursing students are always present, each opportunity must be seen as a teaching moment, so nursing students can understand how professional accountability impacts the care of clients from the time of admission.

A senior nurse knows that establishing a therapeutic relationship allows the client to feel safe and being professionally accountable impacts both client and student especially during the assessment phase. Here the nursing process is key to clinical expertise and using the nursing process demonstrates that quality of care must start from the point of admission to discharge. This nursing process is kept in mind by a highly educated nurse who also uses evidence-based practice to deliver safe and effective care.

Evidence-based practice in professional accountability allows the nurse to have a better understanding of the practice and how accountability influences her to make decisions that fully impacts patient care.(Brower & Nemec,2017) An example of evidence-based practice in mental health is to form a client-centered plan of care to ensure all decisions are shared-decision making. The care team and the client seeking help with mental health issues come together to have client-centered care and self-directed care. 

With accountability to the client and self, the nurse is an advocate for the client and ensures that the latest evidence is used to drive change for better patient outcomes. ( Brower & Nemec, 2017).

Professional Accountability is one of the best ways for a nurse to self regulate, be conscious of the care and their impact when imparting knowledge to the future generation of nurses.

Measures of Effect

One important application of epidemiology is to identify factors that could increase the likelihood of a certain health problem occurring within a specific population. Epidemiologists use measures of effect to examine the association or linkage in the relationship between risk factors and emergence of disease or ill health. For instance, they may use measures of effect to better understand the relationships between poverty and lead poisoning in children, smoking and heart disease, or low birth weight and future motor skills.

What is the significance of measures of effect for nursing practice? In this Discussion, you will consider this pivotal question.

To prepare: With      the Learning Resources in mind, consider how measures of effect strengthen      and support nursing practice. What      would be the risk of not using measures of effect in nursing practice? Conduct      additional research in the Walden Library and other credible resources and      locate two examples in the scholarly literature that support your      insights.

By tomorrow 04/11/2018 3pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”

Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following: Analyze      how measures of effect strengthen and support nursing practice. PROVIDE AT LEAST TWO SPECIFICS      EXAMPLES from the literature to substantiate your insights. Assess      dangers of not using measures of effect in nursing      practice.

Review Chapter 3, “Measures of Morbidity and Mortality Used in Epidemiology”

Chapter 9, “Measures of Effect”

Chapter 9 extends the discussion that began with Chapter 6 (which looked at ecologic, cross-sectional, and case-control study designs) by introducing additional measures that are useful in evaluating the potential implications of an exposure-disease association.

Tripepi, G. Jager, K. J., Dekker, F. W. & Zoccali, C. (2010). Measures of effect in epidemiological research. Nephron Clinical Practice, 115(2), c91–c93.

As noted by the authors of this article (2010), “Measuring the strength of observed associations between a given risk factor (e.g., blood pressure) and a given outcome (e.g., stroke) is an important goal in epidemiological and clinical research” (p. c91). This article provides an accessible overview of the terminology and various methods used to measure associations in research.
