what is a good example of connecting health outcome to social determinant?

MY NUMBER ASSIGNED WAS 9 WHICH IS:  Pelvic fractures – types, s/s, and treatment

Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.  

Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based.  

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.  

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style. 

PART 2:

Take a few minutes and ask 2 people about their personal coping mechanisms for dealing with the stress of working in healthcare during this unique time of Covid. Stress can be physical, emotional, spiritual, or any combination of triggers. Ask a diverse variety of people, don’t forget those in other departs at different points of hierarchy. For example, ask your unit manager, environmental services, volunteers, patients, fellow nurses, etc.  Write 2-3 paragraphs on your findings and impressions while respecting the person’s identity. 

I find the use of microscopes fascinating. It still blows my mind that before the microscope was invented looking at cells and all their components was never a thing! The use of the microscope opened so many doors in medicine, it really is incredible. A specific scenario where I would require the use of a microscope would be if I were wanting to identify certain toxins that may be responsible for causing autoimmune diseases such as Lupus. The type of light microscope that is needed in this scenario uses fluorescent-labeled antibodies to detect certain bacteria, viruses, or toxins. It uses specific staining techniques to identify distribution of proteins or other molecules. Fluorescent microscopes were first invented in between 1911 and 1913 by two German physicists Heimstaedt and Lehmann.

The second microscope I would use is a confocal microscope. A confocal microscope offers high-quality images that are relatively easy to obtain from specimens, which makes it one of the more popular microscopes. However, this specific type of microscope can increase cell and tissue death due to the high- intensity laser. This may cause people to opt out of using the Confocal microscope if they are dealing with certain tissues or cells that are more sensitive.

 Which study design is the most powerful for generating evidence?

According to Tracy, O’Grady, and Phillips (2023), when taking all study designs into consideration, the randomized controlled trial (RCT) remains the gold standard research design for generating evidence. RCT remains the gold standard because it is based on three critical elements which includes manipulation of an experimental intervention; comparison of the group receiving the experimental intervention versus the group receiving the placebo; and randomized assignment to the experimental or control groups. Randomized assignment to the aforementioned groups helps to prevent bias from being introduced into the study and increases validity (Tracy et al., 2023).
