Nursing grand rounds part 1


Hello, this assignment will continue in week 5, the participant could be a nurse that work in my unit (Med surgical), , and you can pick: (anemia, gastritis, diverticulitis) as a medical diagnosis or something else, just make sure to follow the instructions.


Assignment Overview:
 

The Week 3 Assignment is part of a scaffolded assignment and serves as the basis for creation of the Week 5 Assignment.  

For the Week 3 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Presentation Part 1: Holistic Assessment, you will meet with and assess a selected participant and complete the accompanying Holistic Assessment Form.  In Week 5, you will complete the Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation, which is a teaching presentation.

For the Week 5 Assignment, you will use the data collected in the Week 3 Assignment to create a PowerPoint presentation designed to educate your selected participant about an identified medical condition they are experiencing. The Week 3 Assignment data will be used as a foundation for creating the patient-centered teaching presentation due in Week 5.


Assignment Directions: 

· Identify an participant known to you who has a current medical health condition. The participant must be 18 years or older and legally capable of consenting to participate in this activity. The participant 
CANNOT be a family member or a client you have cared for in your professional nursing practice. Using a client or patient who was assigned to receive care from you by an employer, agency, facility, or any organization will result in earning a score of zero (0) points for the assignment.

· Be sure the participant is diagnosed with a medical health condition that meets the assignment requirements. The participant’s medical health condition cannot be congenital (i.e., present at birth). Instead, the medical health condition must have a pathophysiology. The medical condition also must be a primary health alteration (e.g., cyclic vomiting syndrome), and not simply a sign or symptom that is a manifestation of a primary medical disorder (e.g., hyponatremia, dehydration, nausea, vomiting, etc.).

· Complete the 

Holistic Assessment Form
 for the selected participant, then upload the completed form to the Dropbox by the end of Week 3. The form should be typed. The course faculty will review and grade the form for completion and accuracy and will approve the participant/medical condition you have selected as the focus for the Week 5 Assignment. 
Be sure you have approval from course faculty before you begin working on the Week 5 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation. 

· After successfully completing the Week 3 Assignment and obtaining faculty approval of the selected participant/medical condition, follow the instructions for completing the Week 5 Assignment: Nursing Grand Rounds Part 2: Presentation.

Option 1: 

The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) and the Fourteenth Amendment both aim to address issues of equality, but they focus on separate concepts. The ERA, first proposed in 1923, is explicitly targeted at gender-based discrimination, seeking to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex “The Equal Rights Amendment would put protection for women and other marginalized genders directly into the United States Constitution.” (MacKinnon & Crenshaw, 2019).  In contrast, the Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, is a broader constitutional provision that encompasses various civil rights issues, including the Equal Protection Clause, which ensures equal protection under the law without specifying gender “The U.S. The Supreme Court has consistently ruled for decades that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment protects women from unequal treatment under the law.” (Herrod et al., 2021). While both amendments share the goal of promoting equality, the ERA is specifically concerned with gender equality, whereas the Fourteenth Amendment has a broader scope, addressing a range of civil rights issues such as race, gender, and other forms of discrimination.

DIABETES AND DRUG TREATMENTS

Each year, 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2019). If left untreated, diabetic patients are at risk for several alterations, including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. There are various methods for treating diabetes, many of which include some form of drug therapy. The type of diabetes as well as the patient’s behavior factors will impact treatment recommendations.

For this Discussion, you compare types of diabetes, including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

Thank you for your post! I want to clarify the interval and ratio level of measurements.

Feedback and Question: In statistics, measurements having starting points are classified as ratio levels of measurement.

Do you know if blood pressure readings are measured starting from zero and cannot go below zero, with zero being the baseline? I recommend watching this YouTube video to learn about the types of data and levels of measurement. I'd love to hear your thoughts after watching it. Thank you.

I was a bit unclear on what a bureaucracy was until this week's lesson and readings. From what I understand and according to the text, a bureaucracy is a complex and hierarchal organization where several offices, each with a specific task, have a clear chain of command, and appointment and advancement of personnel are based on merit. A bureaucrat is someone who works for a bureaucracy (Greenberg & Page 2019, pg. 366). Bureaucracies are all around us – the DMV, financial organizations and insurance companies are a few examples. After understanding what a bureaucracy is, I think they can both help and hinder my life. Bureaucracies are something that we need to live as citizens of the United States, but often they have rules and regulations that can be a hinderance in many aspects of our lives. The rules and decisions of bureaucracies seem to be made without the public's best interest in mind, and the public often isn't involved in decision making. They all revolve around money. They are often unclear with the public, leaving people confused and overwhelmed with things they don't understand. It can take months to resolve certain issues or get question answered. Processes that should be simple can be very stressful. John Launer wrote an article titled “Battling Bureaucracy,” which is what it feels like sometimes. He explains how he jumped through hoops with bureaucracies trying to help a friend get money back. One of the things he said a couple of times in the article was “money problems figure more in peoples' lives than medical problems, especially now that we're in a serious cost of living crisis” (Launer 2023). One thing that is a large issue in bureaucracies is communication. These organizations are not good at communicating with the public; it often feels as if you're trying to talk through a wall. You could talk to one representative and have them tell you one thing, then speak to another and find out something completely different. This makes everyday things, like dealing with insurance companies, very stressful and difficult. If these bureaucracies can become more transparent with the public, it would help tremendously and there would be less confusion and frustration.

risk of various health problems

For the middle-aged adult, exercise can reduce the risk of various health problems. Choose two at-risk health issues that regular physical exercise and activity can help prevent and manage. Discuss the prevalence of each of these health problems in society today. Describe measures that you would take as a nurse to assist patients with health promotion measures to incorporate exercise and physical activity into their lives. Include the kind of activities you would recommend, the amount of exercise, and the approach you would use to gain cooperation from the patient. Support your response with evidence-based literature.

Nursing M1 assignment 1 response

What matters at the end of life and Palliative care, a  different voice in healthcare. There are two Utube videos above and you  need to pick only one and tell about it. Here is what you can report on:

a) What is the subject that the speaker is covering?

b) Does it effect the ideas that you have already about palliative care?

c) It is very important for someone to think about and be able to  converse about the subject of death and dying if they are considering  working as a nurse in this area. Why would that be?

Nursing week 5 abstract assignment

Week 5 Abstract, Significance, and Summary

 This week, you will submit the final portions of your paper for review. Please make sure to review all of your instructor's feedback and prepare your research for final submission in week 7.  

Abstract

The abstract is generally used as a searchable, comprehensive overview of your research. When online databases search research, they pull keywords from the abstract. Compose the abstract for your research project. Your abstract should be one page in length, and include the following:

· Describe the research problem and why it is important. 

· Identify the purpose of the study. 

· State the theoretical foundations and/or conceptual frameworks, as appropriate. 

· Summarize the key research question(s). 

· Describe, concisely, the overall research design, methods, and data analysis procedures. 

· Conclude with a statement on the implications for positive social or institutional change.

Your abstract must be a clear and concise overview of your research that would be easily searchable if you were to publish in a journal. 

Significance and Summary 

In 3–4 pages, summarize your study. Provide a summation of evidence (referencing your literature) that the problem is current, relevant, and significant to the discipline. Reiterate the gap in the literature and how your project contributes to social or organizational change in nursing and nursing education.

Within your summary, state the significance of your research by identifying potential contributions of the study that advance knowledge in the discipline. This is an elaboration of what the problem addresses. Provide a strong “take home” message that captures the key essence of your research.

Lastly, describe recommendations for further research that are grounded in the strengths and limitations of the current research as well as the literature you reviewed. Ensure recommendations do not exceed the research boundaries.

Review the rubric for grading criteria.
