Decision-Making Process Paper
Instructions
In this assignment, you will be writing a 6 pages paper identifying, comparing and
contrasting at least 3 different decision-making approaches of care from a multidisciplinary
perspective using a pertinent and significant topic in nursing (Topic for Decision Making
Paper: Travel nurses as an important tool to relief hospitals staff during times of strikes.). I’m
currently a travel nurse working on a neuro/stroke unit in Missouri due to the staff
shortage and strike that the hospital is encountering at this time.
The 3 decision making models I chose were the following
Intuitive Decision-Making Approach/Model
Analytical Decision-Making Model/Approach
The Creative Decision-Making Model
You are required to use APA 7th edition format and the page count does not include title
page or reference page. Reflect on your own decision-making practices and the
implications this will have regarding differing approaches taken of nursing leaders and
staff nurses/clinical practitioners in decision making within to issues in practice. To
complete this assignment, do the following:
Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all levels from bedside to
advanced practice(Topic for Decision Making Paper: Travel nurses as an important tool to
relief hospitals staff during times of strikes.)
1. .Make sure to provide an adequate background and its significance to all levels of
nursing using a strong review of the literature. Additionally, this should include a
thorough literature review that provides a good understanding of what the cause of
this problem is; what is suggested to address this problem. Essentially, this review
must support your choices of the decision-making models and this needs to include
how all levels of nursing practice (the bedside nurse to the APN are impacted by the
problem).
2. Identify how you would expect a nurse leader/manager, a bedside/staff nurse and
an Advanced practice nurse (CNO or NP) to address your selected issue using at
least 3different decision-making approaches which are clearly supported by the
literature review. This must first include a detailed analysis/overview of the
selected decision making models and how they are used in practice. Then a detailed
analysis of how these decision-making approaches/models would address the

problem/along with a detailed analysis of how each of the three selected models
would be applied to address the selected issue/problem making sure to incorporate
this at all levels of practice. One of the decision-making models may be more
applicable to the bedside nurse; whereas the other more applicable to the APN;
however, all levels of nursing practice need to be addressed with at least one of the
chosen 3 decision-making models. However, this does not mean that each decisionmaking model will apply to all levels of practice only that in this discussion needs to
include how each level of nursing practice would utilize the decision-making model
to address the problem. For instance, one decision making model may apply to the
bedside nurse; the second decision making model may be more applicable at the
level of APN (CNO, NP, etc) and the other decision-making model may be best
applied to the nurse manager. This section should be detailed; meaning specific, well
thought out, realistic solutions of how the nurse (at the level identified; this may
include more than one level for the same decision-making model or not) would
address the problem using the decision-making model is provided and well
supported by the literature. of the benefits and limitations of various decisionmaking approaches that are applied appropriately to the level of nursing practice to
address the selected issue/problem. This is informed from course readings,
literature, clinical scenarios and other evidence-based and scholarly sources.
Prioritize the best decision-making approach/model to address the selected
problem that is grounded in best practice. This should provide a well-supported
rationale for this choice that includes a good comparison and contrasting of the 3
chosen decision-making models that clearly illustrates why the choice was made,
that is consistent with the decision making model and how it would address the
chosen topic or problem.
Identify a possible funding source that would addresses your approach to solving
the problem. For instance, if the best approach to solving the nurse-to-patient ratio
problem is through the use of SDM and shared governance, perhaps you may seek a
local funding source to provide you with funding to implement a small EBP or
research project that would be funded by a local nursing organization such as Sigma
Theta Tau or perhaps if it was geared more towards assessing the value of this
model towards NP in practice than seeking a local organization that supports
funding for projects being implemented by practicing NP? If seeking money for
research this would need to be overseen by a nurse with a DNP r a PhD or someone
with the credentials to do so that are part of their scope of practice. Consider
looking at federal, state,or local organizations. (I live in the state of Florida)
For example: There are many grants available through the CDC,HRSA, etc. Again, this
need to be specifically applied with sufficient details
Use at least 10 references other than your main text.Uses APA 7th edition
formatting. At least 5 of these need to be within the past five years.
