How do the relative proportions of the cranium and face of a fetus compare with those of an adult skull?

Name and describe the four special functional abilities of muscle that are the basis for muscle response.

Therapeutic drug monitoring is a frequent practice in health care. How does age affect drug absorption, metabolization and excretion?

The theoretical framework is a critical element of your work. A theoretical framework is the general representation of relationships in your problem and is based on existing theory. The conceptual framework is your idea on how the problem should be explored, and it is generally based on a theory. The difference between the two is the scope. Theory is broad; concept is narrow.

In most research studies, your framework can be either theoretical or conceptual in nature. For the purposes of this project, you will most likely follow a conceptual framework, which is your idea on how the research problem will be explored (although you could have both).

For example:

• Theoretical framework: Stimulus is applied to elicit a response
• Conceptual framework: A new teaching method is applied to elicit improvement in midterm test scores.

In this section of your change project, state the perspective through which the problem and/or phenomenon may be explored, and include the following:

1. Select a minimum of two theories.
2. Identify the process and logic in selecting these theoretical frameworks or conceptual frameworks for your study.
3. Discuss how each theory or model applies to the individual project. 
4. Present the framework guiding your study.
   • Describe the assumptions of the framework.
   • Describe each key component of the framework.
5. Discuss how each element of the phenomenon applies to the framework.
   • Apply each element of the theory to the elements of the phenomenon under study.
   • Develop the rationale for the sample selection criteria.
6. Discuss, analyze, and critique pertinent research that uses the framework.

Remember that research never proves theory. Your research project can only support or refute the theoretical propositions you are using as your framework. But if you do not use theory or conceptual frameworks in your research, you may not be able to put your findings in a context that could strengthen the nursing education profession!

This section should be 3–4 pages in length, not including the cover or reference page. You must reference a minimum of 3 scholarly articles.

The purpose of this discussion is to better understand gynecological health care for lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.

• Define and describe for lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
  • Gender and sexuality concepts.
  • Social and political context.
  • Social determinants of health affecting lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
  • Barriers to health care.
  • Health care disparities 
  •  this discussion to be no shorter than 4 pages in length, excluding the title and references page.
• per APA style
• Incorporate current practice guidelines for diagnosis and treatment and a minimum of 4 current (published within the last five years) scholarly journal articles or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. Journal articles and books should be referenced according to APA style (the library has a copy of the APA Manual).

 My assigned disease process is   Condition:  Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the discussion. 

General Instructions 

The purpose of this discussion is to examine an assigned disease process and determine which disease process explored in the discussion Bayani, the client, is experiencing. Follow the instructions below and your faculty member will reveal which disease process Bayani is experiencing at the end of the discussion week. 

Step 1: Review the following client scenario: 

Bayani, a 62-year-old male client, presents to the NP with abdominal pain with his wife. Bayani is mildly confused, and according to his wife, he is normally fully oriented. His abdomen is soft and non-distended, and his wife states he has been urinating and drinking more water than usual. She also states he has had foul-smelling urine and is concerned he also has a urinary tract infection. 

Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail. 

1. Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of your assigned disease process. Which clinical manifestations observed in Bayani’s case could be explained by the pathophysiological mechanisms? 
2. Analyze Bayani’s clinical manifestations in the context of your assigned disease process. Do these findings support a diagnosis of your assigned disease process? Why or why not?  
3. Identify and justify the diagnostic tests (including labs, imaging, or other diagnostic tests) that would be most appropriate for investigating a diagnosis of your assigned disease process in Bayani. What could the results of these tests look like in your assigned disease process? 
4. Compare and contrast your response with a peer assigned a different condition. Does their condition fit Bayani’s case? Why or why not? 

My topic is HIV

This discussion represents the second step in a three-step discussion series where you will choose your pathophysiology adventure to analyze and present to the class. Students will continue to explore the disease process that was chosen in Week 2. In this step of the discussion series, you will describe the pathophysiology of your chosen condition from Week 2 and its manifestations, diagnosis, and lifespan considerations. You will also create your case study.  

Include the following sections:

1. Application of Course Knowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail.  

1. Describe the pathophysiology of the chosen condition. What is the condition’s etiology, signs and symptoms, complications, and risk factors? 
2. Discuss how the condition is diagnosed. What are relevant assessment findings, labs, and imaging studies? 
3. Explain how the pathophysiology of the condition might differ across the lifespan. Does the condition manifest in pediatric, pregnant, breastfeeding, and older adult populations? How might the condition look different across the lifespan? 
4. Create your case study based on the chosen condition (~ 1,000 words or less using bullet points and full sentences). Start with the diagnosis and work backward to develop a clinical scenario that leads to this diagnosis. Include the client’s name, social background, symptoms, lab results, medical or surgical history, and other relevant details. 

Part A. Find a recent (less than ten years) scholarly article that discusses sexual behaviors among college-aged women.
