Week 6 DQ 2

In the video “How’s Your Social Health”, the speaker presents a tool to measure social health. Have you encountered anything similar in your studies thus far? Perhaps in a clinical setting? Why is measuring social health so important?

Competency

Identify multidimensional nursing care strategies for clients with reproductive system disorders.

Scenario

You work in a gynecological office, and your office has been asked to participate in a women’s health fair. The focus of the fair is health promotion. Preventative screening for female reproductive disorders is vital to identify and treat rapidly to produce the best patient outcomes. Preventative screening includes a mammogram and Pap smear and should be performed based on recommended age and associated risk factors. To promote preventative screening, your office will be creating brochures to distribute at the health fair.

Instructions

Design a women’s health brochure by choosing one of the female reproductive disorders covered in this module. In the brochure, include the following:

· Overview of the disease including disease process, signs and symptoms, and risk factors

· Preventative screening

· Diagnostics tests

· Treatment

· Multidimensional nursing care interventions

Lab Safety Simulation

BIOS242, Week 1-OL

Name:

Lab 1: Lab Safety

Learning Objectives

· Use the correct clothing to work in the lab

· Describe the do’s and don’ts in a laboratory

· Correctly use the lab safety equipment

· React in an emergency situation

Introduction: About Lab safety virtual simulations lab
Laboratories can be very dangerous, especially if you’ve never set foot in one before. So in this simulation, you’ll get the chance to make your debut in a virtual one! You will learn how to use the lab safety equipment, and how to react in case of an emergency. Detect and eliminate sources of danger and pass on your lab safety knowledge to friends.

Identify hazards
Safety first! Always pay attention to potential hazards when you enter a lab. In this simulation, you will create a tidy and safe working environment by identifying and eliminating hazards in the lab. You will be introduced to the lab safety rules and the safety equipment, which will help you and your colleagues, if something was to go wrong in a real lab.

Emergency training
You will be introduced to the basic hazard symbols used to categorize dangerous materials. You’ll use this knowledge to prevent dangerous situations, like acid spills. But you will also learn how to deal with unlabeled, potentially hazardous chemicals. By mastering such situations in this simulation, you won’t have to worry about being exposed to any real danger. You will learn how to operate the eye-wash and also get an introduction to various other pieces of lab safety equipment.

Spread your knowledge
It is important to share your newly acquired knowledge with your colleagues. In this simulation, you will meet your friend Lucy who’s never worked in a lab before. Pass on your lab safety knowledge and help her dress appropriately for a day in the lab.

Will you be able to apply your knowledge, and make sure that you and your friend stay safe in the laboratory?

1. Purpose: Please describe in complete sentences and in your own words, the purpose of this experiment.

2. Why is it important to wear closed toe shoes in lab?

3. What is the importance of cleaning work bench before and after use?

4. If you have spillage or work bench contamination, what are the steps required to make the surface sterile again?

5. What are the different types of hazardous material generated in Micro lab? Give some ways of their proper disposal.

6. Write a reflection on this lab exercise- 5 sentences on what you learned with this simulation.

ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES AND PRACTICES TO SUPPORT HEALTHCARE ISSUES

Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.

For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?

In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.

  Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples. 

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
  • Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.

Nursing telehealth assignment

Describe trends in telehealth and its impact on nursing practice and patient care.

Requires a minimum of two references: 

1) one from a peer-reviewed NURSING journal (less than five years old) and 

2) one from the course textbook.

Additional peer-reviewed journal articles and professional, governmental, or educational organizations websites (.org, .gov, or .edu) may be used as supplemental references. 

The maximum number of references is three 

ASSESSING MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN

  

Case: A 42-year-old male reports pain in his lower back for the past month. The pain sometimes radiates to his left leg. In determining the cause of the back pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy, what nerve roots might be involved?

 How would you test for each of them? 

What other symptoms need to be explored? 

What are your differential diagnoses for acute low back pain?

 Consider the possible origins using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guidelines as a framework. What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you perform?

Post an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected  

Reflection week 7

 

Reflection: write 1-2 paragraphs reflecting on your learning for the week. Guiding questions are provided or you may write about what you felt was most significant to you for the week.

You will need to post your reflection here before you are able to see other students’ posts.

  • Nearly every student in the course was able to think of a time when they had personally been impacted by or had observed incivility in the workplace. In what ways does this impact your view of the nursing profession?
  • If those outside of healthcare were aware, how might it impact their view?
  • As you move towards your role as an NP, what will you do to support healthful work environments for yourself and your colleagues?
  • Think about your personal use of social media. Are there changes you would like to make in how you use social media?
  • What self-care practices do you engage in to promote personal holistic health?

Vulnerable Populations

 

How effective are the resources in your community for the vulnerable populations we have discussed over the past 2 weeks?  In which areas is there room for improvement? 

Submission Instructions:

  • Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources. 

PMHNP

Research the 3 highest priority Differential Diagnoses, the proposed interventions with rationale and respond to the case.  

Peer Response Ley

Be sure to provide 2 APA citations of the supporting evidence-based peer-reviewed articles you selected to support your thinking.

****1 paragraph for each peer response and 2 citations.********

Please be sure to follow EACH AND EVERY BULLET POINT.
