Need a nursing assignment done ASAP on Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory

Due: Sunday night at 11:59pm Mountain Time

In this assignment, you will examine sample arguments and identify the premises.

Before starting this assignment watch a brief video about what a podcast is (Links to an external site.).

Step 1: Consider the scenario:

You are the primary contributor for Low Cost Foodies, a nationally syndicated podcast specializing in the current affairs of the fast food industry. Listeners value the Low Cost Foodies for their insider knowledge and lighthearted banter. Your writing partners are out reporting for an upcoming episode and will not be able to help in the scripting process this week. Accordingly, you have been tasked with managing the entire script of this week’s podcast on the premises and hidden premises in the fast food industry.

Step 2: Review assignment requirements.

Introduce the Low Cost Foodies audience to the concepts of premise and hidden premise. These can be found everywhere in the fast food industry, but it takes some understanding and careful attention to identify them. In a two-page (500-word) podcast script, composed of two separate segments, explore the notions of premise. In Segment 1, “Spot the Premise,” identify the premise (or hidden premise) of each conclusion provided below. This information will be useful for Segment 2, “Defending the Premises,” in which you provide a more in-depth analysis into the aforementioned conclusions.

Podcast Segment 1: Spot the Premise

• Everyone I know likes Chick-a-Cola. It must be really good!
• I can’t believe the McDonald’s VP is voting to cut employee benefits. He must be in the president’s pocket.
• If a restaurant is crowded, then people love the menu. The restaurant is crowded. People must love the new menu.
• Industrialized cattle farms are immoral because they murder animals.
• The fast food industry is in turmoil. The poor economy has brought down consumer spending, so the fast food industry is going to collapse.

Podcast Segment 2: Defending the Premises

• Do the assumptions really support the conclusion? Why or why not?
• Identify which of the premises use deductive reasoning and which use inductive reasoning. What characteristics define deduction? What defines induction?
• How can assumptions inform the premise of an argument?
• Contrast the principal differences between explicitly expressed and tacitly implied premises. Which of the conclusions have explicitly expressed or tacitly implied premises?
• Explain the effect explicit and implicit assumptions have on the final conclusion.

Step 3: Write a podcast script.

Using the HUM330 podcast script template 

write a two-segment podcast script (500 words minimum) that meets the topical requirements listed in Step 1. Format your entry in the following manner:

• All podcast scripts should be contained within one document.
• Label each script with the segment title provided in the entry requirements.
• At the end of the script, cite the sources you used to complete it.

Remember, you are writing for a varied listening audience of fast food lovers. It is important that you exhibit superior knowledge of the subjects being covered while still packaging the materials in a way that is fun and engaging for the Low Cost Foodies audience. They should be excited to hear your podcast material. Follow these guidelines to further engage the listening audience:

• Use clear, concise sentences.
• Use clear and relatable real-world examples to help explain concepts.
• Use language intended for a listener as opposed to a reader. For example, avoid language such as “As you can see…”
• Share your enthusiasm and interest in the subject matter.
• Relate the material back to your own personal experience when possible.
• Read the entry out loud to yourself before finalizing it.

Step 4: When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself in an easily accessible place.

Cite any sources in APA format.

It is necessary for an RN-BSN-prepared nurse to demonstrate an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiological processes of disease, the clinical manifestations and treatment protocols, and how they affect clients across the life span.

Evaluate the Health History and Medical Information for Mrs. J., presented below.

Based on this information, formulate a conclusion based on your evaluation, and complete the Critical Thinking Essay assignment, as instructed below.

Health History and Medical Information

Health History

Mrs. J. is a 63-year-old married woman who has a history of hypertension, chronic heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite requiring 2L of oxygen/nasal cannula at home during activity, she continues to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day and has done so for 40 years. Three days ago, she had sudden onset of flu-like symptoms including fever, productive cough, nausea, and malaise. Over the past 3 days, she has been unable to perform ADLs and has required assistance in walking short distances. She has not taken her antihypertensive medications or medications to control her heart failure for 3 days. Today, she has been admitted to the hospital ICU with acute decompensated heart failure and acute exacerbation of COPD.

Subjective Data

1.  Is very anxious and asks whether she is going to die.

2.  Denies pain but says she feels like she cannot get enough air.

3.  Says her heart feels like it is “running away.”

4.  Reports that she is exhausted and cannot eat or drink by herself.

Objective Data

1.  Height 175 cm; Weight 95.5kg.

2.  Vital signs: T 37.6C, HR 118 and irregular, RR 34, BP 90/58.

3.  Cardiovascular: Distant S1, S2, S3 present; PMI at sixth ICS and faint: all peripheral pulses are 1+; bilateral jugular vein distention; initial cardiac monitoring indicates a ventricular rate of 132 and atrial fibrillation.

4.  Respiratory: Pulmonary crackles; decreased breath sounds right lower lobe; coughing frothy blood-tinged sputum; SpO2 82%.

5.  Gastrointestinal: BS present: hepatomegaly 4cm below costal margin.

Intervention

The following medications administered through drug therapy control her symptoms:

1.  IV furosemide (Lasix)

2.  Enalapril (Vasotec)

3.  Metoprolol (Lopressor)

4.  IV morphine sulphate (Morphine)

5.  Inhaled short-acting bronchodilator (ProAir HFA)

6.  Inhaled corticosteroid (Flovent HFA)

7.  Oxygen delivered at 2L/ NC

Critical Thinking Essay

In 750-1,000 words, critically evaluate Mrs. J.’s situation. Include the following:

1.  Describe the clinical manifestations present in Mrs. J.

2.  Discuss whether the nursing interventions at the time of her admissions were appropriate for Mrs. J. and explain the rationale for each of the medications listed.

3.  Describe four cardiovascular conditions that may lead to heart failure and what can be done in the form of medical/nursing interventions to prevent the development of heart failure in each condition.

4.  Taking into consideration the fact that most mature adults take at least six prescription medications, discuss four nursing interventions that can help prevent problems caused by multiple drug interactions in older patients. Provide a rationale for each of the interventions you recommend.

5.  Provide a health promotion and restoration teaching plan for Mrs. J., including multidisciplinary resources for rehabilitation and any modifications that may be needed. Explain how the rehabilitation resources and modifications will assist the patients’ transition to independence.

6.  Describe a method for providing education for Mrs. J. regarding medications that need to be maintained to prevent future hospital admission. Provide rationale.

7.  Outline COPD triggers that can increase exacerbation frequency, resulting in return visits. Considering Mrs. J.’s current and long-term tobacco use, discuss what options for smoking cessation should be offered.

Week 4 Discussion Question: Chapter 13, Comfort and Pain Management

With the realization that pain is highly prevalent among older adults, please answer the following questions:  

Part Two: What is the prevalence of pain in older adults? How will you, as a nurse, be more aware of

pain issues related to older adults and what will the nurse incorporate into practice to alleviate these

issues?

Infant, childhood, and adolescent development are a continual interplay between nature (genetic or biologic predisposition) and nurture (environmental experiences). The nature/nurture continuum and debate will always be a part of your career as a PMHNP.  Knowing common developmental milestone is important in the role as a child provider. Not only is it essential to the diagnostic process, but it is also important to the interdisciplinary interactions with other mental health professionals. The study of normal developmental processes, however, is only one tool that allows the mental health professional to understand the child being evaluated. There are many different assessment instruments and interviewing techniques that PMHNPs can have in their toolkit when working with children and adolescents. 

• Explain why a developmental assessment of children and adolescents is important. 
• Describe two assessment instruments and explain why they are used for children and adolescents but not adults.  
• Describe two treatment options for children and adolescents that may not be used when treating adults.
• Explain the role parents play in assessment and treatment.
