CASE STUDY 

Individuals and a Family as a Client 

Mila Jefferies is a recently widowed 36-year-old mother of two children and the daughter of two aging parents in the southeastern United States. She and her children have recently relocated from an urban neighborhood to a rural town to care for her parents, Robert and Susan. The move involved a job change for Elizabeth, a change in schools for the children, and an increased distance from the family of the children’s deceased father. Mila’s older child is a 5-year-old daughter, recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and dyslexia. The younger of the two children is a 3-year-old boy with asthma that has been difficult to control since the move. Robert is a 72-year-old Methodist minister who recently suffered a stroke, leaving him with diminished motor function on his left side and difficulty swallowing. Susan is 68 years old and suffers from fibromyalgia, limiting her ability to assist with the daily care of her husband. She has experienced an increase in generalized pain, difficulty sleeping, and worsening fatigue since her husband’s stroke. 

Use the Neuman systems model as a conceptual framework to respond to the following: 

• Describe the Jefferies family as a client I system using each of the five variables. 

• What actual and potential stressors threaten the family? Which stressors are positive, and which are negative? Separate the actual and potential stressors that threaten the individual members of the family. Which of the stressors are positive, and which are negative? 

• What additional nursing assessment data are needed considering Robert’s medical diagnoses? What additional data would be helpful for Susan’s medical diagnoses? What about each of the children? 

• What levels of prevention intervention(s) are appropriate for the Jefferies family? Propose potential prevention intervention(s) for each member of the family. 

• Identify your nursing priorities if you were providing care to this family. 

Not all EBP projects result in statistically significant results. Define clinical significance, and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance. How can you use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in your project? (Fall prevention strategies in hospitals.)

 Hello, please I need help answering this questions for my assignment. A file is attached below that include the questions and instructions.

As a nurse informaticist, you may be at the forefront of managing patient data, institutional data, and other record-keeping that has reporting requirements. The reporting of accurate and truthful information is critical to policy compliance, and may affect funding, safety ratings, or other crucial measures. In this Discussion, you analyze one such example where informatics and ethics overlap. 

For this Discussion, consider the following scenario:

Imagine that you are a nurse informaticist in an ER department. The manager informs you that the duration from when a patient arrives in the ER reporting cardiac-related symptoms to being seen in the cardiac catheterization lab is above the national standard. She asks if there is a way to “adjust” the report to make the time look better before the next review.

• Review the resources and reflect on the actions you would take and the decision you would make to meet standards in an ethical manner as it relates to the scenario provided. 
• Think about what your response to the manager might be.

By Day 3 of Week 11

Post a response that explains how you would comply with policy and maintain ethical nursing practice in the scenario above. Be specific and provide examples. Next, recommend a solution to address the problem described in the scenario. Justify why you would recommend this solution.

The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 500-750-word paper, examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:

1. Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children. Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.
2. Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.
3. Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Physical Activity Resource Brochure

After reading the websites cited in the Overview and your peer’s Discussion posts develop a one-page Physical Activity Resource Brochure/infographic. Imagine that your peers all live in the same general location. Research one fun and unusual but accessible activity that will meet the physical activity goals of you and your peers.

Remember to search for activities on Living Social, Groupon, Department of Recreation and Parks brochures, club and meetings sections of the newspaper, bulletin boards in your favorite neighborhood coffee shop or grocery store, etc. Develop a one-page infographic as the brochure which offers information on:

• a description of the activity
• cost
• when and where
• website or copy of the listing location

The activity should be described as above noted with the addition of photos or graphics to enhance the brochure. Pictures and graphics are required.

You may submit your brochure/infographic in PowerPoint, PDF, Word or Microsoft Publisher format. View websites on how to create an 8 X 11.5 color infographic (one-page Word or pdf. document), but do not purchase formatting options.
