Blog 21: Exit Interview

(1)  What is your essential question, and what are your answers?  What is your best answer and why?
My essential question is “What is the best way a neonatal nurse can ensure a premature baby is healthy?”
My first answer is “By assuring premature infants get the right nutrition they need to reach their ideal weight to grow properly.”
My second answer is “Make sure neonatal nurses have good communication with parents to ensure that the preemie will be healthy.”
My third answer is “By introducing the COPE for Hope program to parents to acquire certain skills and support, they need to be able to take care of their infant.”
My best answer is my answer one by assuring premature infants gets the right nutrition they need to reach their ideal weight to grow properly because if a premature infants gets the right nutrition and reaches his or her ideal weight most of the problems that premature infants are faced with can be solved and treated with the right nutrition.

(2)  What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
A lot of my research has stressed the importance of nutrition and how avoiding early malnutrition can have both short- and long-term benefits for the premature infant which can help a premature infant grow healthy and live on to live healthy lives when the leave the NICU.

(3)  What problems did you face?  How did you resolve them?
I had trouble finalizing my last answer, There was an idea I was trying to get across but I couldn’t find the right way to word my last answer, and I resolved this problem by finding a program that provides parents with the skills and knowledge I wanted to explain in my last answer.

(4)  What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
My mentor Diana Guevara RN at the LAC+USC Medical center

Oswalt, Krista L., and Darya Bonds McClain. "Reducing Anxiety among Children Born Preterm and Their Young Mothers." National Center for Biotechnology Information. U.S. National Library of Medicine, 1 May 2014. Web. 06 May 2015.
