Two paragraphs (- working ICU COVID unit night shifts
1. Share your thoughts about how impaired nursing and SWSD relates to you and your practice.
2. Formulate a plan and a related measurable outcome that address a personal goal regarding these areas in the trends and issue journal
List the specific nutrition issues affecting old age. Choose a disease or medical condition that could possibly, or commonly, affect some one of old age. This could be anything ranging from diabetes to cirrhosis. Using the ABCDs (Anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, and dietary) of nutritional assessment, create a case study based on an actual client or patient. You can also make one up. Be sure to include a list of common medications that may be used to treat your patient’s condition and identify potential herb, nutrient and drug interactions that may be relevant. Identify your client’s cultural background and give clues as to their socioeconomic status and psychosocial variables. For example, your patient may be a senior living alone on a fixed income or might be living in a nursing facility with reputed staff.
Karenia,
Thank you for sharing the information you found regarding Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) with the class.
You mention three different medication classes that can be used to treat COPD including short-acting beta-2 agonists, long-acting beta-2 agonists, and corticosteroids. I think there may be a bit of confusion between device delivery and medication. Inhalers and nebulizers are devices and delivery systems used to administer medications to patients. I think in several places in your discussion post you were referencing a medication but referring to it as either an inhaler or nebulizer. You discuss albuterol in your post as an example of a short-acting beta-2 agonist. Formoterol (Foradil) is an example of a long-acting beta-2 agonists. Prednisone is an example of a corticosteroid often used in the treatment of COPD.
Theophylline is a medication that is less commonly used in treating COPD but can be an option for some patients. Theophylline is a xanthine derivative and is not considered a first line medication for COPD patients (Woo & Robinson, 2016).
What is the mechanism of action for Theophylline?
What are some adverse effects of theophylline?

Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.
As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the Vila Health: Ethical Decision Making activity prior to developing the presentation. The activity provides a helpful update on the ethical principles that will help with success in this assessment.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:
Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing.
Assess the impact of the code of ethics for nurses on the coordination and continuum of care.
Competency 5: Explain how health care policies affect patient-centered care.
Explain how governmental policies related to the health and/or safety of a community affect the coordination of care.
Identify national, state, and local policy provisions that raise ethical questions or dilemmas for care coordination.
Competency 6: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead patient-centered care.
Communicate key ethical and policy issues in a presentation affecting the coordination and continuum of care for a selected community organization or support group. Either speaker notes or audio voice-over are included.
Preparation
Your nurse manager at the community care center is well connected and frequently speaks to a variety of community organizations and groups. She has noticed the good work you are doing in your new care coordination role and respects your speaking and presentation skills. Consequently, she thought that an opportunity to speak publicly about contemporary issues in care coordination would be beneficial for your career and has suggested reaching out to a community organization or support group to gauge their interest in hearing from you, as a care center representative, on a topic of interest to both you and your prospective audience.
You have agreed that this is a good idea and have decided to research a community organization or support group that might be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues related to the coordination of care. Your manager has suggested the following community organizations and support groups, but acknowledges that the choice is yours.
Homeless shelters.
Local religious groups.
Nursing homes.
Local community organizations (Rotary Club or Kiwanis Club).
To prepare for this assessment, you may wish to:
Research your selected community organization or support group.
Review the Code of Ethics for Nurses With Interpretive Statements and associated health policy issues, specifically, the ACA.
