Discuss what is happening on a cellular level with the disease process. Be careful to realize that patients have co-morbidities and you may need to discuss the other diseases impact on the pathophysiology and care of the patient.  Three (3) resources after 2008 are required along with APA format. 

Jane and Jackie, 30 year old twin sisters, adopted when they were two years old, lived mirrored lives to this point. They do everything together, from having a double wedding, living next door to each other, and making any appointments, medical or social together.

Today they made an appointment with their OB/GYN. Information was as follows:

Jane Information: Jackie’s Information:

BP 115/70 BP 165/96

HR 70 HR 96

Resp. 20 Resp, 22

Temp 98.6 Temp 99.2

N/A Normal U/A + Hematuria

+ Proteinuria

Weight No gain Weight +15 pounds

C/O Intermittent Headache C/O Has lower back and stomach

at times relieved with pain at times and is relieved also

Tylenol by Tylenol.

Other: This individual is noted to have

some loss of muscle mass in her

arms and legs and less subcutaneous

tissue overall.

1. At this point, what do your think is the problem with Jackie? Why is this problem co common in women? What test would you request to confirm your diagnosis?

The physician uses the ultrasound to assess Jackie’s back and abdomen. He finds that her kidneys are about 4 times larger than normal and appear to have numerous fluid filled cysts noted. At this point he asks BOTH sisters to see a nephrologist and to be scheduled for MRI’s of the kidneys. The MRI showed that Jackie’s kidneys were indeed larger and filled with cysts. Jane’s kidneys were somewhat larger than normal, and no cysts were present at this time.

2. What problem do you anticipate that Jackie has now? How was it acquired?

3. Why did Jackie gain so much weight over the last year?

4. Why does Jackie have high blood pressure and the UTI?

5. Why were both sisters requested to have this test.

The sisters went to see the nephrologists who requested that they have MRI’s of the brain and an echocardiogram. Jane’s MRI and echocardiogram were normal. Jackie’s brain MRI and echocardiogram were not. Jackie had a cerebral angiogram that followed which confirmed complications of her disease process, an Intracranial aneurysm and Mitral regurgitation. Jackie undergoes a procedure called Coil Embolization Therapy to resolve the aneurysm.

6. What is an Intracranial aneurysm? How does Coil Embolization Therapy resolve the problem.? Please be specific of the procedure.

7. What is Mitral Valve Prolapse and how will it affect Jackie’s health care needs before procedures in the future?

8. What education is needed to be shared with these sisters related to their children having this condition in the future?

Then, clearly specify your topic by providing a brief description
(1-2 sentences) of the personal situation that you have selected.
Next, identify three chapters that will be utilized to draw
sociological concepts from that you will use to analyze your
personal situation. Lastly, identify one sociological theory from the
text that you will use to analyze your personal situation (e.g.,
conflict theory or symbolic interactionism).

Use APA format throughout the paper including for the Title page,
and references and in-text citations.

powerpoint presentation

As a practicing professional, you are likely to present educational in-services or training to staff pertaining to quality improvement (QI) measures of safety improvement interventions. Such in-services and training sessions should be presented in a creative and innovative manner to hold the audience’s attention and promote knowledge acquisition and skill application that changes practice for the better. The teaching sessions may include a presentation, audience participation via simulation or other interactive strategy, audiovisual media, and participant learning evaluation.The use of in-services and/or training sessions has positive implications for nursing practice by increasing staff confidence when providing care to specific patient populations. It also allows for a safe and nonthreatening environment where staff nurses can practice their skills prior to a real patient event. Participation in learning sessions fosters a team approach, collaboration, patient safety, and greater patient satisfaction rates in the health care environment (Patel & Wright, 2018).As you prepare to complete the assessment, consider the impact of in-service training on patient outcomes as well as practice outcomes for staff nurses. Be sure to support your thoughts on the effectiveness of educating and training staff to increase the quality of care provided to patients by examining the literature and established best practices.You are encouraged to explore the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies Review activity before you develop the Improvement Plan In-Service Presentation. This activity will help you review your understanding of the AONE Nurse Executive Competencies—especially those related to competencies relevant to developing an effective training session and presentation. This is for your own practice and self-assessment, and demonstrates your engagement in the course.
For this assessment, build on the safety quality Patient Identification Errors in Healthcare and create an agenda and PowerPoint of an educational in-service session that would help a specific staff audience learn, provide feedback, and understand their roles and practice new skills related to the safety improvement plan you created.
The final deliverable for this assessment will be a PowerPoint presentation with detailed presenter’s notes representing the material you would deliver at an in-service session to raise awareness of your chosen safety improvement initiative focusing on a specific patient safety issue and to explain the need for such an initiative. Additionally, you must educate the audience as to their role and importance to the success of the initiative. This includes providing examples and practice opportunities to test out new ideas or practices related to the safety improvement initiative.Be sure that your presentation addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

  • Describe the purpose and goals of an in-service session focusing on a specific patient safety issue.
  • Explain the need for and process to improve safety outcomes related to a specific patient safety issue.
  • Explain to the audience their role and importance of making the improvement plan successful.
  • Create resources or activities to encourage skill development and process understanding related to a safety improvement initiative.
  • Communicate with nurses in a respectful and informative way that clearly presents expectations and solicits feedback on communication strategies for future improvement.

There are various ways to structure an in-service session; below is just one example:

  • Part 1: Agenda and Outcomes.
    • Explain to your audience what they are going to learn or do, and what they are expected to take away.
  • Part 2: Safety Improvement Plan.
    • Give an overview of the current problem focusing on a specific patient safety issue, the proposed plan, and what the improvement plan is trying to address.
    • Explain why it is important for the organization to address the current situation.
  • Part 3: Audience’s Role and Importance.
    • Discuss how the staff audience will be expected to help implement and drive the improvement plan.
    • Explain why they are critical to the success of the improvement plan focusing on a specific patient safety issue.
    • Describe how their work could benefit from embracing their role in the plan.
  • Part 4: New Process and Skills Practice.
    • Explain new processes or skills.
    • Develop an activity that allows the staff audience to practice and ask questions about these new processes and skills.
    • In the notes section of your PowerPoint, brainstorm potential responses to likely questions or concerns.
  • Part 5: Soliciting Feedback.
    • Describe how you would solicit feedback from the audience on the improvement plan and the in-service.
    • Explain how you might integrate this feedback for future improvements.

    Note: Presentation length: There is no required length; use just enough slides to address all the necessary elements. Remember to use short, concise bullet points on the slides and expand on your points in the presenter’s notes. If you use 2 or 3 slides to address each of the parts in the above example, your presentation would be at least 10 slides and no more than 15 slides (not including the title, conclusion, or references slides).

  • Speaker notes: Speaker notes (located under each slide) should reflect what you would actually say if you were delivering the presentation to an audience. This presentation does NOT require audio or a transcript. Another presenter would be able to use the presentation by following the speaker’s notes.
  • APA format: Use APA formatting for in-text citations. Include an APA-formatted reference slide at the end of your presentation.
  • Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence to support your assertions. Resources should be no more than 5 years old.

political



Option 1

Though political scientists debate on the precise reasons for the low representation of women in Congress, the number of women serving in the House and Senate is significantly lower than that of men. Since the 1980s, the percentage of women in congress has consistently increased, yet they are still notably underrepresented (Chamberlain University, 2023). A complex problem, the underrepresentation of women in Congress has structural, political, and cultural roots. After the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920, several states, particularly in the west, granted women the right to vote. However, this restriction persisted until the 1960s civil rights movements and the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  Before the 1980s, women were less likely than males to vote and participate in politics. Today, women vote at a greater rate (4%) than men, yet there is still a dearth of women in congress in the United States (Greenberg, E. S. & Page, B. I., 2018).

The low representation of women in Congress, in my opinion, is due to a variety of factors, including gender stereotypes and roles that are special to girls' genders. As a result, girls may be exposed to fewer cues that encourage political activity, which in turn results in fewer women entering the political pipeline. Women currently have many obligations, including family, employment, housework, raising children, and providing for their education. As a result, they do not have enough time for politics, which may affect their ability to be represented in Congress. Sanbonmatsu, K. (2020), claims that due to the low number of women in Congress, American democracy may not require women's representation. According to the article, women make up 23.7 percent of congressional presentations in the United States, which is lower than the global average of 24 %. A statute or constitutional provision requiring a gender quota for candidates or officeholders does not exist in the United States, but the use of quotas in elections is on the rise globally. Women's representation in politics, in my opinion, might be improved by quota systems. To increase the number of women in Congress, gender equality should be promoted, and gender discrimination should be ended.

Strategic Planning

Preparation

The feedback you received on your care setting environmental analysis has been positive. Consequently, you have been asked to select one of the potential improvement projects you noted in your analysis and create a full, 5–10-year strategic plan to achieve the desired quality and safety improvement outcomes. You will develop your strategic plan, using either an AI approach (addressing the design stage), or by building on your SWOT analysis and applying a strategic planning model of your choice.

How you structure your plan should be based on whether you are taking an appreciative inquiry approach or using a specific strategic planning model. Regardless of the approach you choose, the requester of the plan has asked that you address the key points outlined below in the strategic plan requirements. In addition, your plan should be 6–8 pages in length.

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

Strategic planning models aid in setting goals, establishing time frames, and forging a path toward achieving those goals. Consider the strategic planning models you are familiar with:

  • Which model would you choose to create goals and outcomes that could address the area of concern you identified in your Assessment 1 SWOT analysis?
  • Why is this model the best choice among alternatives?
  • How does goal setting through appreciative inquiry provocative propositions differ from goal setting in the strategic planning model you selected?

 Strategic Plan

  • Develop strategic goal statements and outcomes that reflect specific quality and safety improvements for your care setting. You should have at least one short-term goal (just-in-time to one year) and one long-term goal (five years or longer).
    • Determine realistic timelines for achieving your goals.
    • Explain how your short-term goals support your long-term goals.

Note: For plans based on an AI approach, the goal statements and outcomes are provocative propositions that may be refinements of the positive, yet attainable, goals that you proposed during the dream phase of your inquiry. For plans based on a SWOT analysis, the goal statements and outcomes are specific, measurable, and applicable to the area of concern in your analysis for which you proposed pursuing improvements.

  • Justify the relevance of your proposed strategic goals and outcomes in relation to the mission, vision, and values of your care setting.
  • Analyze the extent to which your strategic goals and outcomes, and your approach to achieving them, address:
    • The ethical environment.
    • The cultural environment.
    • The use of technology.
    • Applicable health care policies, laws, and regulations.
  • Explain, in general, how you will use relevant leadership and health care theories to help achieve your proposed strategic goals and outcomes.
    • Consider whether different theories are more applicable to the short-term or long-term goals of your strategic plan.
  • Evaluate the leadership qualities and skills that are most important to successfully implementing your proposed plan and sustaining strategic direction.
    • Identify those leadership qualities and skills that are essential to achieving your goals and outcomes and sustaining strategic direction.
    • Identify those leadership qualities and skills that will have the greatest effect on the success of your plan.
