NOTHING will be accepted after 11:59pm MT on Sunday (i.e. student will receive an automatic 0)

Total Points Possible: 100 points Requirements: For Week 1 of the course there is no case study given to you by the Faculty. Instead you will be assigned two diseases to compare and contrast based on the first letter of your last name. This information will be posted in the Course Announcements under Week 1 Welcome as well as the “Assignment” portion of the Week 1 module and will change every session. A comparison and contrast assignment’s focus is to identify and explore similarities and differences between two similar diseases. The goal of this exploration is to bring about a better understanding of both diseases. Week 1 Part 1: Due Wednesday by 11:59PM MT MN You will research the two areas of content assigned to you and compare and contrast them in a discussion post.

NOTE: A comparison and contrast assignment is not about listing the info regarding each disease separately but rather looking at each disease side by side and discussing the similarities and differences given the categories below. Consider how each patient would actually present to the office. Paint a picture of how that patient would look, act, what story they would tell. Consider how their history would affect their diagnosis, etc. Evaluation of mastery is focused on the student’s ability to demonstrate specific understanding of how the diagnoses differ and relate to one another. Address the following topics below in your own words: Presentation Pathophysiology Assessment Diagnosis Treatment Compare and contrast the following diagnoses as assigned:

Immunohistochemical evaluation of (TROP-2) and (BRAF V600E) in papillary thyroid carcinoma Hashimoto thyroiditis Graves disease (a clinicopathological study) in samples of Iraqi patients.

Description Aims of the study : 1. To evaluate the expression of TROP-2 and BRAF V600E in Hashimoto’s and Graves’ diseases by immunohistochemistry and it’s relation to other parameters ( age , sex ) . 2. To evaluate the expression of TROP-2 and BRAF V600E in papillary thyroid carcinoma and to determine the relationship between TROP-2 overexpression and the expression of the mutant BRAF V600E oncoprotein in papillary thyroid carcinoma. 3. To correlate the expression of TROP-2 and BRAF V600E in papillary thyroid carcinoma with clinicopathological parameters ( age , sex , tumor size , presence of tumor capsule , presence of lymph node metastasis )

Identify and Critique Measures

The goal of this assignment is for you to become familiar with some of the measures that could be used to assess MFT clinical outcomes.

After you have read the assigned readings, you are to find and critique one measure of one or more key constructs related to your PCF.

Select a measure that you would administer to your clients to guide your interventions and treatment planning. Good sources of measures in the NCU Library include EBSCOhost, Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print, ProQuest, PsychiatryOnline, and PsycTESTS.

You will complete the Measure Critique Form (found in the Week 5 Books and Resources area) for the measure you selected. Note that we have provided a sample critique (also in the Week 5 Books and Resources area) showing the level of detail expected on this critique.

Be sure to send an email to your instructor by Wednesday of the week the assignment is due, identifying one or more measures you are considering evaluating, so that he or she can provide guidance on the best one to use for this assignment. For example, you will not want to evaluate a psychological test like the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), which MFTs in most states cannot administer nor interpret. Instead, you should search for a measure of couple and family functioning, although individual screening tests, like the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), may also be acceptable. Again, the measures you select should be relevant to your PCF, specialization, and clinical practice as an MFT.

Length: 6-8 pages Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Conflict of Interest Beneficence or Exploitation in clinical trials

An SBAR is a tool to summarize a need or issue to others in a concise manner. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation and is commonly used in healthcare settings to communicate an issue in a single page. Imagine you need to communicate a key issue related to international clinical research to your supervisor, the Secretary General of the United Nations or the FDA Commissioner. Select an issue of topic, policy, problem, issue or program from Weeks 5 through 9 (Conflict of Interest , Beneficence or Exploitation in clinical trials) which you believe requires improved awareness to this policy-maker or high-level decision maker. Complete an SBAR.

The Inclusion of Leader Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle SDLC and the development of a new health information technology system

PLS SEE ALL UPLOADED ARTICLES AND DISCUSSION DETAILED INSTRUCTION DOCS Introduction Nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences. In this Discussion, consider the role that nurses might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development. Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Required Media from YouTube Louis, I. (2011, August 17). Systems development life cycle (SDLC) [Video file]. Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtpyjPrpyX8 and the attached uploaded research articles and any other relevant peered-reviewed resources of your choice and write a 2 page discussion APA style on the following 1. Reflect on your own healthcare organization (a large nursing home facility) and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system (ie A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care). 2. Examples of Potential Issues at Each Stage of SDLC and How Incorporation of Nurses May Assist In Addressing the Various Issues 3. Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology (ie A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care). 4. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues 5. A description of what you believe to be the Consequences of a healthcare organization of not Involving Nurses in Every SDLC Stage Especially When purchasing and implementing a new information technology (IT) System. 6. Then, explain whether you had any input in the Selection, Design, planning and Application of new health information technology systems (such as A Mobile Phone App for Bedside Nursing Care) in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples.
