Demonstrate the ability to analyze the literature be able to perform an evidenced-based review of disease presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Demonstrate professional communication and leadership, while advancing the education of peers. Demonstrate the ability to take information from assigned readings and translate it into the way you would describe it to a patient or family member in your own words. Activity Learning Outcomes

Through this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to: Interpret subjective and objective data to develop appropriate diagnoses and evidence based management plans for patients and families with complex or multiple diagnoses across the lifespan. (CO 1) Develop management plans based on current scientific evidence and national guidelines. (CO 4) Due Date: Wednesday by 11:59 pm MT of Week 1 A 10% late penalty will be imposed for discussions posted after the deadline on Wednesday of Week 1 at 1159PM MT, regardless of the number of days late.

NOTHING will be accepted after 11:59pm MT on Sunday (i.e. student will receive an automatic 0). A 10% penalty will be imposed for not entering the minimum number/type of interactive dialogue posts OR not posting on the minimum required number of days (3 days). 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:

Review the 2 articles given.

 

Answer the following questions:

You are a nurse who works in the Cardiac Care Unit (CCU). You are concerned about patients who are readmitted to the unit with left-sided heart failure. A task force is appointed and you are in charge of developing a discharge teaching plan that will hopefully prevent readmissions. As you begin your search, you are aware that there are several theories and frameworks that might be helpful in developing the discharge teaching plan.

What theories or frameworks might be of interest to nurses who are developing a teaching plan for patients? The following questions were developed to assist you in evaluating the quality of a study’s framework. Is the study framework explicitly expressed in the study?

What is the name of the theory and theorist used for the framework? What are the concepts in the framework?

When reviewing the study Who is the target population? How can you prevent sampling errors?

What type of sample will be best to control for extraneous variables?

What are the factors to consider when selecting the sample size?

How will you calculate the appropriate sample size? Are the sampling inclusion and exclusion criteria appropriate?

Is the sampling plan adequate to address the purpose of the study? Is the sample size adequate? What are the refusal and mortality rates?

Discussion: Interpretation of Neurologic Issues in Clients with Special Considerations

/0 Comments/in /by

Living with a chronic illness is something nearly everyone deals with at some point in their life.

Chronic neurologic disease, such as living with a ventricular shunt due to hydrocephaly, epilepsy, or chronic migraines, can make some days unpredictable, but with stable daily management, most will have a day as typical as anyone else. It is usually only when there is an interruption to the daily routine, such as forgetting to take daily medications, that problems occur. You are participating in your local state fair by volunteering at the medical station. Toward the end of the day, a 21-year-old male is brought to you by his girlfriend. She explains “He started to act confused—not knowing where he was and how long he had been at the fair.” She knows that he has epilepsy, but she does not know what to do. The young man is talking and able to answer your questions. He is from a neighboring city, and he became confused about an hour ago while walking to one of the local 4-H cattle shows. He says he feels like he “lost time,” but he knows the correct day of the week, the month, and the year. He has normal vital signs, and he reports no history of head injury, nor of surgery. He has had the focal (partial) seizure problem since the age of 10, but it has been well controlled through medication. However, he thinks he forgot to take his medicine before leaving for the fair early that morning. You only note horizontal nystagmus during the physical exam, and afterwards he begins complaining that there is a strong burnt plastic smell. No one else in the medical tent notices this smell. He has had no alcohol today, and he does not drink socially. He wants to go home unassisted, rather than riding to the hospital in an ambulance. Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to the following: Explain the special considerations, such as the symptoms in the scenario above, that nurses should be aware of when assessing the neurologic system, interpreting findings, and planning nursing care for clients. Based on your interpretation of your findings in the case scenario, write two priority nursing diagnoses for this client. One of the diagnoses should address safety and other should be the basis for a teaching plan the patient can take with him. Incorporate at least one scholarly, evidence-based resource to support your response. Include citations and references for sources using correct APA formatting. Share your personal experiences with the history taking, physical assessment, and interpretation of findings related to the neurologic system in clients with special considerations: What were the challenges? How did you overcome these challenges?

Identify and Critique Measures

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.
