What is End-of-life Decisions? What is the Role of Nurse in End-of-life Decisions?

• Legislation for end-of-life decisions
• Ethical considerations

INSTRUCTION

 Case study

The purpose of the case study is to have you expand upon the pathophysiological disease process by searching for evidence-based practice treatment and advanced practice nursing role implications related to the disease.

Case Study Topic:

Select a type of cancer (breast, lung, prostate, or colon cancer, melanoma, or any type of leukemia) and discuss the relationship of the disease process to the immune system.

Identify current evidence-based treatment modalities for the selected cancer and discuss how the treatment impacts the disease process.

Conduct an evidence-based literature search to identify the most recent standards of care/treatment modalities from peer-reviewed articles and professional association guidelines (www.guideline.gov). These articles and guidelines can be referenced, but not directly copied into the clinical case presentation. Cite a minimum of three resources.

Include the following in your clinical case presentation:

1. A discussion the pathophysiologyof the disease, including signs and symptoms
2. An explanation of diagnostic testing and rationales for each
3. A review of different evidence-based treatment modalities for the disorder obtained from guideline.gov or a professional organization such as thyroid (Thyroid society), OB-GYN (ACOG), urology (AUA), etc.

Next, address the following questions:

1. How does the information in this case inform the practice of a master’s prepared nurse?
2. How would the master’s prepared nurse use this information to design a patient education session for someone with this condition?
3. What was the most important information presented in this case?
4. What was the most confusing or challenging information presented in this case?
5. Discuss a patient safety issue that can be addressed for a patient with the condition presented in this case.

The use of medical terminology and appropriate graduate level writing is expected.

Your paper should be 3–4 pages, excluding the cover page and reference page.

Your resources must include research articles as well as a reference to non-research evidence-based guidelines.

Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your source(s) should be integrated into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources.Cite a minimum of three resources.

Epidemiology: Communicable Disease

Disease Lab: Assignment 

Follow the link for the disease lab: https://www.learner.org/wp-content/interactive/envsci/disease/disease.html?initLesson=1

Carry out the following Assignment

Background:

Human and animal diseases are often caused by viruses or bacteria. Over the past two hundred or so years, vaccines have eradicated some of these diseases. Communicable diseases spread in different ways: through blood, air, feces/urine, food, or water. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC) keep constant watch over the most potentially dangerous diseases and the most likely threats to various world populations.

New diseases (such as SARS) and the possibility of a pandemic flus have also raised international concerns about health. As populations grow, especially in densely packed urban areas, there is increased risk of disease transmission.

This lab will let you explore various diseases: Kold, a caricature of the common cold; Impfluenza, which resembles influenza; Neasles, with the high transmission rate of measles; and Red Death, a fast-spreading epidemic with a high mortality rate.

Most diseases begin with what is called “the virgin field”—a scenario in which humans have no natural or man-made immunity to the disease. In the first scenario on the following page, you will run a simulation of three contagions set to “virgin field”.

Vaccinating a population has a similar effect to changing the population density (lower density reduced spread, also vaccinations reduce spread). An immune person is no longer a vehicle for transmitting the disease, thus lowering the effective density of the population. Since we can’t control population density in most cases, vaccination is one of the best means to prevent the spread of disease, not just to the vaccinated individuals, but to the population as a whole. In Scenario 2 on the following page you will choose a percentage of vaccinated people in the population and re-run your simulations using the SAME parameters you used for Scenario 1.

Scenario 1: Virgin Field (5 marks)

Run the simulation using three different Contagions (one MUST be Kold), you may choose your own population density and population mixing, but be sure to record the parameters you selected! Take a screen capture of the end result of each of your simulations to attach to your assignment.

 

	Population Density/ Mixing	Contagion	Population Number	Starting Number of Contagious People	Sick Days Reported	Death Toll
Run 1
Run 2
Run 3

 

Scenario 2: Vaccination (5 marks)

Run the simulation using the SAME parameters as above however, this time choose a vaccination percentage for the population, record your chosen percentage. Take a screen capture of the end result of each of your simulations to attach to your assignment.

 

	Population Density/ Mixing	Contagion	Population Number	Starting Number of Contagious People	Sick Days Reported	Death Toll
Run 1
Run 2
Run 3

 

 

Briefly answer the following questions, referencing outside sources in APA format (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/) as appropriate – include these, your tables, and screen captures, as a single file (word or PDF) submitted to the assignments folder in D2L.

1. What vaccination percentage did you use for Scenario 2 (1 mark)?
2. What happens to the number of sick days and death toll when you compare Scenario 1 to Scenario 2? Why does it change? (2 marks)
3. Was the death toll ever zero (1 mark)? What does this tell you about the virulence of the different diseases? (4 marks)
4. What happens if you run the pandemic scenario with Red Death disease, at 0% vaccination and a high population density/high mixing (1 marks)? What does this tell you about the virulence of this disease? (3 marks)
5. What virus (either discussed in class so far, or that you have heard about in the news) do you think is the greatest threat to the population of Toronto now that you have learned a little more about vaccination and transmission? Explain using references (8 marks)

View the scenario called “Critical Decision Making for Providers” found in the Allied Health Community media (https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt307v/allied-health-community/home.html).

In a 750‐1,200 word paper, describe the scenario involving Mike, the lab technician, and answer the following questions:

What were the consequences of a failure to report?
What impact did his decision have on patient safety, on the risk for litigation, on the organization’s quality metrics, and on the workload of other hospital departments?
As Mike’s manager, what will you do to address the issue with him and ensure other staff members do not repeat the same mistakes?
A minimum of three academic references from credible sources are required for this assignment.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
