Patient perception for a pharmacist prescription

I need a project protocol (project plan) which must include background (200 words like a summary of the literature) the objective, the subject and setting, and method
Please focus more to the objectives and the method parts because there are the hardest parts for me

The objectives ( I did these objectives so if you have any edit about it I will be happy )
1-     To conduct a literature review search with purpose of gathering information about the patient perception for the pharmacist prescribing.
2-     To design a questionnaire with the intention of gathering information from patients about their perception, acceptability, and experience for their pharmacist prescribers.s
3-     To use the questionnaire in order to collect patient perceptions data for their pharmacist prescribing from community pharmacies in Scotland.
4-     To analyse the collected data and assess whether independent pharmacists prescribing acceptable to the patients.

The patient perception for a pharmacist prescription

The method for each objective ( after meeting with my supervisor its need to be a questionnaire (not online survey) with closed questions and open question(I don’t now about the open question so if u have any advice about it ) also I decide to Likert scales are will be used as response options (5 being strongly agree and 1 strongly disagree). The open question will include to allow the patients to write comments with regard to their pharmacist prescribing.
For the literature method I already did it so no need to do it. So, you have only three method for three objectives.

If you have any advice please tell me, cuz I will bring you collected data later to analyse it.
I am sure you have a great experience about the dissertation parts. Also, if you have any references regarding the questionnaire or the method that will be support the work.
This is the project protocol structure

Evidence Based Practice for Health Professionals

Assessment 1: Oral Presentation
Length: Three (3) minutes (maximum)
Weighting: 20%

Task
This assessment requires you to present the results of (ideally) one of the articles you will use in your
Assessment 2: Literature Review.

That is, your task is to present an overview of a research article to your peers i.e. other students undertaking paramedic or human services programs.

Your challenge is to capture in three minutes and with no more than two (2) PowerPoint slides, the key components and overall message of the article.

After hearing your presentation, your peers should be left in no doubt that they understand what the article is about, the nature of the research, how it was conducted and what the key findings are.
Short presentation times are the norm at professional conferences. Another example of short scholarly presentations can be found in 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) competitions. Examples of these will be shared in class to give you inspiration and insight into what can be achieved in a short period of time.

Aims

Completing this assessment should:
Firstly, Increase your confidence in discussing research and research terminology

Secondly, Demonstrate your comprehension of a particular research article

Thirdly, Develop your ability to communicate research findings to peers

Fourthly, Assist you with locating literature for your Literature Review assessment piece

Also, Allow you to present in a safe environment in a focused but hopefully fun way.

Format

This assessment will take the form of a three (3) minute maximum presentation accompanied by no more than two (2) PowerPoint slides. Your presentation will be recorded using the recording function available in Zoom. You will not be assessed on your production values or editing skills, but we do expect that you present yourself professionally, provide accurate information with correct spelling and grammar on your slides. You must appear in person on your video at some point.

Instructions: Evidence Based Practice for Health Professionals

1. Consider the Aims, Task and Format of the assessment.

2. Choose a topic:
Firstly, Choose something that is of interest to you related to your discipline.

Secondly,  For paramedic students this may be something related to a clinical intervention such as medication management, or pre-hospital care of a particular injury or condition.

Thirdly, Alternatively, you may wish to look at research that is about the profession e.g. professional identity development in paramedicine, transition to practice for paramedic students.

Fourthly,  For human services students this may be related to practice such as approaches to case management, counselling styles or aspects of service provision to particular population groups.

3. Research the topic by searching the appropriate databases via the USQ library. You need to ensure a body of research literature exists about your topic.

Firstly, At a local hospital, a decision is to downsize the nursing staff.

Secondly, The local television station sent a reporter and camera crew to interview the administrator regarding the impact of this action on patient care.

Thirdly, After 20 minutes of filming the interview, the reporter left. Later that evening, the CEO received a call from the hospital’s public relations director, who directed her to YouTube.

Fourthly, A video had been posted showing several nurses. Also, the former patients in front of the hospital protesting the hospital’s decision. The public relations director also directed the CEO to a new community blog called “SaveOurLovingNurses.com.”

Also, the CEO called a meeting for the next morning and wondered, “How did things get so out of control?”
She asked the public relations director to provide an overview and present a brief plan.

Finally, Submit the overview and plan you would present as the public relations director in this scenario.

More details;

The hospital industry in the United States is undergoing a widespread reorganization that includes restructuring of the workforce. Surveys reveal that nurses now working in hospitals have serious concerns about the impact of such staffing changes on the quality of care and the safety of patients. Media coverage of changes taking place in hospitals and hospital care echoes nurses’ warnings; Congress expressed its concern by mandating the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to study the adequacy of nurse staffing in hospitals and nursing homes. The recently completed IOM study recommended greater involvement of nurses in restructuring initiatives and more research on the relationship between nurse staffing and patient outcomes because empirical evidence could not be found to support testimony and anecdotal reports by nurses and others that current staffing levels were adversely affecting patient care.

Summarizing a court case as a therapist

This paper focuses on Being a Therapist. Read the news article summarizing a court case in which a client stalked her therapist and review the resources on Dr. Kenneth Pope’s website for therapists who are being stalked, threatened, and assaulted by patients.

On Being a Therapist-article summarizing a court case

On Being a Therapist

Secondly, In your journal, discuss your thoughts on the risks faced by therapists working in the field.

Thirdly, Were you aware of these situations face d by mental health professionals? Did any of the research findings presented by Pope surprise you? Explain your thinking.

https://kspope.com/stalking.php

More details;

Based on victim surveys, about 16 percent of women and 5 percent of men in the United States reported having been stalked at some point in their lives.

The legal definition varies, but stalking is usually defined as “repeated unwanted behaviors that reasonably cause the individual who is being stalked to experience fear of harm or death to self, family, or household,” but many stalkers are careful enough to avoid breaking laws.

Even though the majority of stalkers are men, an estimated 12 to 22 percent are women, although the motivation often varies according to the intended target.

According to the research of Paul E. Mullen and his colleagues, there are five types of stalkers, although there can be considerable overlap among the different categories.

Firstly, Rejected stalkers who are seeking revenge following a perceived rejection (real or imagined).

Secondly, Intimacy-seeking stalkers who are seeking to form a close relationship with their intended target.

Thirdly, Incompetent stalkers lack basic social skills and often engage in stalking behaviour in the hope of becoming intimate with their target.

Fourthly, Resentful stalkers are revenge-seekers who feel they have been somehow wrong ed by their target. They are often prone to paranoid ideation that is difficult to treat.

Further, Predatory stalkers seek power and control over their targets and are most likely to intimidate their victims. These are the stalkers most likely to be charge d for their offenses.

Pathophysiology of disease case study on a male patient

This is an assignment that focuses on the pathophysiology of disease case study on a male patient.The paper also provides results of his blood serum lipid.

The pathophysiology of disease case study on a male patient

Case Study for Pathophysiology of Disease
A male patient (60 years old) after visiting his local GP was advised to do a full blood analysis as part of management of his hypertension. The patient is hypertensive for at least 15 years and his blood pressure is manageable with a drug combination, a diuretic and a b-blocker, and has been stable at 123-8 / 82-85 mmHg for the last few years. The patient’s height is 176 cm and he weighs 96 kg.
The results came back and most; blood glucose, kidney function, Serum Vitamin B12, Serum ferritin, Urea and Electrolytes, Thyroid function test, Differential white cell count, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and blood red cell folate were all within the normal range and no action was required in relation to these tests. Plasma C reactive protein was elevated at 5.7 mg/L (0.00 – 5.00 mg/L).

The patient’s Liver function tests showed that Serum globulin, albumin, total protein, total Bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and AST serum levels were all normal. The only abnormal element of the liver function test was Serum Gama GT level at 59 IU/L (1.0- 55.00 IU/L).

The results of the patient’s blood Serum lipid profile however showed some abnormalities as follows:
1. Serum triglycerides,                                 1.2 mmol/L         (0.5 – 2.00 mmol/L) normal
2. Serum Cholesterol                                    5.9 mmol/L         (1.00 – 5.00 mmol/L) abnormal
3. Serum HDL cholesterol level                  1.2mmol/L          (>1.00 mmol/L) normal
4. Serum LDL cholesterol level                   4.1 mmol/L         (1.00-3.00 mmol/L) abnormal
5. Non HDL cholesterol                                 4.7 mmol/L
6. Serum Cholesterol/HDL ratio                 4.9 (Non-HDL cholesterol is part of Lipid profiles per NICE Lipid Modification Guidelines)

The patient also complained of occasional pain in the calf and thigh muscles upon exercise, but this was relieved by resting post exercise.
Family history reveals that the patient lost members of his family due to aortic aneurysms and strokes.

Assignment: Part 2. Atherosclerosis:

Firstly, the GP had a discussion with the patient and advised him to take up regular exercise, modify diet and consider starting “Statin” treatment to reduce his cholesterol levels.
Secondly, the patient went away and did some research from internet resources and was not convince. Due to the different views on Statin treatment available in the public domain, that this is the right course of treatment.
Thirdly, he asked for your advice. Can you provide the patient with a succinct opinion?

You will need to explain to him:
1. Firstly, the pros and cons of statin treatment.
2. Secondly, the mechanisms of action of statins.
3. Then, why there is such a varied opinion on this treatment.
3. Finally and most importantly, your view on this topic, wold you recommend the patient start or not start on such treatment and you need to summaries the justification for your advice.

Your arguments need to be supportive by evidence from research papers and reviews, not Wikipedia, Google or unofficial web-sites etc….
You do not need to provide the traditional different headings, i.e. abstract, introduction etc but write it as a simple report-900 to 1200 words

An ethical issue using an ethical dilemma decision-making process

Students are expect ed to write a seven- to eight-page paper analyzing an ethical issue using an ethical dilemma decision-making process. In their papers, students analyze a violation of ethics in the social and human services profession as reported in the popular media or a professional journal. In their papers, students should include:

1) Firstly, A brief description of the case, based on the information gathered from the popular media or professional journal;

2) Secondly, Discussion of ethical violation which includes the context and all who are involved;

3) An explanation of how the professional and the student’s personal ethics provide guidance in this situation. Refer to APA Code of Ethics and specific principles and/or standards.

4) Thirdly, Your discussion of how this situation can handled differently, recommendation for the resolution of the case and your rationale for that.

Student are expect ed to combine their own thoughtful analysis with ideas and information found in at least three sources. Other than sources for the ethical violation (an original reports/articles or any other sources describing this case), the professional codes, and the course textbook.

Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author. Instead, use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings. Also, critically analyze related literature – this paper has to be an analytical paper, not a summary of readings.

This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style. Failure to do so is plagiarism, even if the oversight is unintentional.
