Nursing Homework

Purpose

The Topic Search Strategy paper is the first of three related assignments. The purpose of this initial paper is to briefly describe your search strategies when identifying two articles that pertain to an evidence-based practice topic of interest.

Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.

1. Examine the sources of knowledge that contribute to professional nursing practice. (PO 7)

2. Apply research principles to the interpretation of the content of published research studies. (POs 4 and 8)

Preparing the assignment:

Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.

a. Paper should be 3-4 content pages in length. Title and reference pages are required but are excluded from 3-4 -page length.

2) The paper will include the following sections:

a. Clinical Question

· Describe the problem. What is the focus of your work?

· Explain the significance of the problem in terms of patient outcomes. What health outcomes result from your problem? Or what statistics document this is a problem? You may find support on websites for government or professional organizations.

· PICOT question in support of the group topic.

· State the purpose of your paper. What will your paper do or describe? This is like a problem

statement. “The purpose of this paper is to . . .”

b. Levels of Evidence

· Identify the type of question being asked (therapy, prognosis, meaning, etc.).

· What is the best type of evidence to answer that question (e.g., RCT, cohort study, qualitative study, etc.)?

c. Search Strategy

· List search terms and results.

· Databases used (start with the CU library). Link your search with the PICOT question described above.

· Refinement decisions. As you did your search, what decisions did you make in refinement to get your required articles down to a reasonable number for review? Were any limits used? If so, what?

· Identification of two (2) most relevant articles (primary sources published within the last 5 years).

d. Format

· Correct grammar and spelling.

· Include a title page.

· Use of headings for each section.

· Clinical Question, Levels of Evidence, Search Strategy, and Conclusion

· Adheres to current APA formatting and guidelines.

Case Study: A 25-year-old presented to the labor and delivery unit with complaints of uterine cramping and lower back pain. The client denied any vaginal bleeding and had a history of preterm birth at 32 weeks (about 7 and a half months) gestation with her last pregnancy. The baby from that pregnancy is three years old has no developmental issues. The client’s gestational age is 30 weeks (about 7 months). She is O+, and all other lab values are normal. No evidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).

(Group Beta Strep is missing from the labs and most often is obtained at 35 – 37 weeks (about 8 and a half months) gestation. Without this information, it is often determined to treat the patient anyway, to protect a premature baby from the risk.)

  • What additional information should the nurse obtain from the client?
  • What nursing intervention is most appropriate in this situation?
  • What screening tests should be obtained to determine the risk for preterm labor?
  • If the client is in preterm labor, what medications would the nurse expect to be ordered, and what are the priorities for the nurse to assess post-administration? (Include dose, side effects and expected outcomes of the medication).

Discussion Post-Risk factors

Choose a subject (it can be a former patient, a family member, or yourself) and identify modifiable and non modifiable risk factors. Identify methods to prevent Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) in the subject. What can you recommend to your classmates subjects? 

Minimum of 250 words.

ASSESSING, DIAGNOSING, AND TREATING ADULTS WITH MOOD DISORDERS

Develop a Focused SOAP Note, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

  • Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomatology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life? 
  • Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?  
  • Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.
  • Plan: What is your plan for psychotherapy? What is your plan for treatment and management, including alternative therapies? Include pharmacologic and non pharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan. Also incorporate one health promotion activity and one patient education strategy.
  • Reflection notes: Reflect on this case. Discuss what you learned and what you might do differently. Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), social determinates of health, health promotion, and disease prevention that takes into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

Discussion

 * Abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial moral issues we will consider. Listen to both sides, even if it is difficult to do. Both sides have important moral insights, even if ultimately these insights are outweighed by the insights of the other side. The goal of this discussion is not to convince you to accept one position over the other but to help you to understand both sides. As you consider this difficult issue, it is important to distinguish two questions:

1) Is abortion morally wrong?

2) Should abortion be illegal?

* Choose one of the questions above and argue both sides with supporting evidence. Please write your discussion choice in the title line.
