Module 1 week 2 scenario

/in /by

 

Scenario: 

  • A 49-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis comes into the clinic with a chief complaint of a fever.
  • Patient’s current medications include atorvastatin 40 mg at night, methotrexate 10 mg po every Friday morning and prednisone 5 mg po qam.
  • He states that he has had a fever up to 101 degrees F for about a week and admits to chills and sweats.
  • He says he has had more fatigue than usual and reports some chest pain associated with coughing.
  • He admits to having occasional episodes of hemoptysis.
  • He works as a grain inspector at a large farm cooperative.
  • After extensive work-up, the patient was diagnosed with Invasive aspergillosis.

The Assignment

(1- to 2-page case study analysis-this does not include title page and reference page)

Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in which you:

  • Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described. (Not a trick question but reflective of a patient on immunosuppressive drugs and a high-risk employment for exposure to Aspergillosis)
  • Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease.
  • Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.

Developing answers to these 3 questions, each question 1-2 paragraphs will bring you to the 2-page expected limit. 3 pages will not lose points but learning to synthesize points, provide current references (submissions like this would earn 3 primary references) and citations will garner full credit.

Reminder: Include a title page, introduction, summary, and references, done in APA format. Keep references current, 5 yr. from publication please and from primary references (# references to support your points for full credit) like classroom textbook, peer-reviewed journals. 

reflection

/in /by

This week, we talked about the Resilience Portfolio Model and profiles of strengths and resilience. We also took a look at the Resilience Portfolio Interview, which can be found here:


There are two tasks for this assignment: One is to reflect on yourself, and the other is to discuss counseling practice applications of assessing resilience. How you do that could be quite variable, however!

(1) For this reflection, ask yourself some of the questions from this interview and share a little about some of your personal resilience factors. Of course, only share what you are comfortable sharing with me. You DO NOT need to answer all of the questions. You could spend the whole paper answering one question in depth (with a story, as they say), or you could answer multiple questions at a more vague level if you prefer. 🙂

(2) If you have experience assessing strengths with clients, talk a little about this experience—was it effective/helpful? Were there any challenges? If you have not assessed strengths with clients, is this something you would consider doing in the future? How might it be incorporated into your work with trauma/PTSD?

Grading Criteria

I'm really not looking to take off points for the reflection assignments. I don't have specific rubrics for them, but if you do not seem to be engaging with the prompt or answering the questions, I may take off points. Each reflection assignment is worth
5 points.

THE NURSE LEADER AS KNOWLEDGE WORKER

/in /by

THE NURSE LEADER AS KNOWLEDGE WORKER

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, 
The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

To Prepare:

· Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.

· Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

· Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

· Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.

· Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

· Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.

· Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data. Be sure to incorporate feedback received from your colleagues’ responses.

Discussion

Purpose

This week's graded discussion topic relates to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

Preparing the Discussion

· Discussions are designed to promote dialogue between faculty and students, and students and their peers. In discussions students:

· Demonstrate understanding of concepts for the week

· Integrate outside scholarly sources when required

· Engage in meaningful dialogue with classmates and/or instructor

· Express opinions clearly and logically, in a professional manner

· Use the rubric on this page as you compose your answers.

· Best Practices include:

· Participation early in the week is encouraged to stimulate meaningful discussion among classmates and instructor.

· Enter the discussion often during the week to read and learn from posts.

· Select different classmates for your reply each week

Discussion Question

Case Study: A 65-year-old woman was just been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She was informed of this diagnosis in her primary care physician's office. She leaves her physician's office and goes home to review all of her tests and lab results with her family. She goes home and logs into her PHR. She is only able to pull up a portion of her test results. She calls her physician's office with this concern. The office staff discussed that she had part of her lab work completed at a lab not connected to the organization, part was completed at the emergency room, and part was completed in the lab that is part of the doctor's office organization.

The above scenario might be a scenario that you have commonly worked with in clinical practice. For many reasons, patients often receive healthcare from multiple organizations that might have different systems.

As you review this scenario, reflect and answer these questions for this discussion.

· What are the pros and cons of the situation in the case study?

· What safeguards are included in patient portals and PHRs to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety?

· Do you agree or disagree with the way that a patient obtains Personal Health Records (PHRs)?

· What are challenges for patients that do not have access to all of the PHRs? Remember, only portions of the EHRs are typically included in the PHRs.
