Instructions: Please respond to each discussion question in a narrative format (APA Guidelines). 

Discussion #1 

Mr. K. is a 57-year-old man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.

Discussion Questions:

Discuss the development of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the pathophysiological changes.

Discuss the complications that might develop in this patient. (Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms.)

Discuss the treatments for all aspects of the patient’s condition, including slowing the progress of the

atherosclerosis, maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.

Week 2: Reflection on Learning

Reflective inquiry allows for expansion in self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. Each week, you will reflect upon what you have learned and complete a reflective journal assignment: Reflection on Learning. Each weekly reflection is placed in one document, which will be submitted for grading at the end of Week 7. There is no weekly reflection in Week 8 because a reflection is incorporated into the discussion question. Please review the Reflection Guidelines and Rubric (Links to an external site.) for complete assignment requirements. Create a document where you will keep your weekly reflection.

Access your reflection document. Reflect upon your Week 2 learning journey in NR701 and consider the following in one or two paragraphs.

· Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

· Why is the information important?

· In what ways will you use this learning?

Module 2 Assignment: Case Study Analysis

Scenario : 45-year-old woman presents with chief complaint of 3-day duration of shortness of breath, cough with thick green sputum production, and fevers. Patient has history of COPD with chronic cough but states the cough has gotten much worse and is interfering with her sleep. Sputum is thicker and harder for her to expectorate. CXR reveals flattened diaphragm and increased AP diameter. Auscultation demonstrates hyper resonance and coarse rales and rhonchi throughout all lung fields.

For you third essay, you will need to use research concepts and methods. You will have freedom of choice for your topic. You will need to argue for or against something in the nursing or medical field. Do we need better mental health care for patients? Do we need better post-natal care for mothers? Do we need different types of restraint for hostile patients? Is there a current issue in the medical field when it comes to patient care that nurses could resolve? These are just some examples to get you thinking about your topic. This paper will need to be at least 900 words, and you will have to use at least three sources to back up your argument. 

Requirements:

• APA formatting
  • cover page
  • abstract
  • Times New Roman, 12 point font
  • double spacing
  • reference page with at least three sources in APA formatting
• at least 900 words
• original work, NO PLAGIARISM
• subject to late work policy
• submit through Canvas, no emails or Google drive shares

This unit’s discussion will focus on sharing experiences that you have encountered so far in your pediatric clinical rotation involving collaboration. Include in your discussion if the collaboration resulted in improved patient outcomes. What barriers to collaboration have you observed? Share why, in your opinion, effective collaboration is essential in providing quality healthcare

• Overview
• Develop a 4–6 page holistic intervention plan design to improve the quality of outcomes for your target population and setting.
• Assessment Instructions
• Instructions
  Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.
  You intervention plan design will be the second section of your final project submission. The goal for this is to design a holistic plan that should be able to improve the quality of outcomes for your target population and setting. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your intervention plan design will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the other project components in this course, as well as into the final draft of your project.
  At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Intervention Plan Design document (linked in the Resources) to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement and the setting and context for this intervention plan.
  Reminder: these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this this section should be Intervention Plan Componentsand not Part 1: Intervention Plan Components.
  Part 1: Intervention Plan Components
  • Define the major components of an intervention plan for a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.
  • Explain the impact of cultural needs and characteristics of a target population and setting on the development of intervention plan components.
  • Part 2: Theoretical Foundations
  • Evaluate theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and health care technologies relevant to an intervention plan.
  • Justify the major components of an intervention by referencing relevant and contemporary evidence from the literature and best practices.
  • Part 3: Stakeholders, Policy, and Regulations
  • Analyze the impact of stakeholder needs, health care policy, regulations, and governing bodies relevant to health care practice and specific components of an intervention plan.
  • Part 4: Ethical and Legal Implications

  • Address Generally Throughout
  • Communicate intervention plan in a professional way that helps the audience to understand the proposed intervention.
  • Additional Requirements
  • Length of submission: 4–6 pages, double spaced.
  • Number of resources: Minimum of 5–10 resources. (You may use resources previously cited in your literature review to contribute to this number. Your final project will require 12–18 unique resources.)

In collaboration with the approved course preceptor, students will identify a specific evidence-based topic for the capstone project change proposal. Write a 150-250 word summary explaining which category your topic and intervention are under (community or leadership).

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) publishes a list of health care-acquired conditions (HACs) that reasonably could have been prevented through the application of risk management strategies. What actions has your health care organization (or have health care organizations in general) implemented to manage or prevent these “never events” from happening within their health care facilities? Support your response with a minimum two peer-reviewed articles.
