Assignment:

Healthcare Coverage Gap

The ACA was meant to provide quality health care coverage for all yet a coverage gap for some populations especially in states that oppose Medicaid expansion. Based on what you have learned so far in this course, create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the coverage gap problem, who is impacted by the coverage gap, the role the ACA plays in the coverage gap, why the coverage gap should be closed, and solutions/ recommendations for closing the gap. Address the following in your PowerPoint:

  • Select one state opposed to Medicaid expansion and describe why. Then, consider your own state. What are the benefits and drawbacks to Medicaid expansion in your state?
  • Define what the coverage gap is (problem/issue)
  • Discuss how the coverage gap impact low income healthcare consumers population.
  • What role does the ACA have in widening or closing the coverage gap?
  • Why is it important to close the gap (implications for positive social change)?
  • What are some solutions to closing the coverage gap and how can healthcare equity help close the gap? Include recommendations and/or solutions.

Your PowerPoint presentation should include/address:

  • Title Slide (1 slide)
  • Objectives Slide (1 slide)
  • Medicaid expansion (1-2 slides)
  • Coverage gap – define/problem/issue (1-2 slides)
  • Coverage gap impact on low income healthcare consumers (2-3 slides)
  • Role ACA has in widening or closing the coverage gap (1-2 slides)
  • Close the gap (1-2 slides)
  • Solutions to closing the coverage gap and how can healthcare equity help close the gap? (2-3 slides)
  • Reference slide (1-2 slides).

Assignment Expectations

Length: 9-14 slides (in addition to the title slide and reference slides)

Structure: Include a title slide and reference slide in APA format.  These do not count towards the minimum slide count for this assignment.  Your presentation must include an objectives slide.  Be sure to fully explain all slides in the Speaker Notes (this is a significant portion of your grade also) to explain the information presented in the slides. I expect all slides to have speaker notes and more than 1 line. You should have more content in the speaker notes than on the slide. Follow best practices for PowerPoint presentations related to text size, color, images, effects, wordiness, and multimedia enhancements. Make sure to include pictures, graphs, or media throughout the PPT as this is part of the rubric and worth 30 points.

 

Identify and list three topics in a nursing content area that would be taught in a course or a unit of study.

Learning objectives are brief statements that describe what learners will be expected to know or understand by the end of a course or program. This week, compose a two- to three-page paper outlining learning objectives that a nurse educator might find in a nursing curriculum** and correlate them to the QSEN by doing the following:

Identify and list three topics in a nursing content area that would be taught in a course or a unit of study. The content areas should include both theory and clinical components.
Compose three original learning objectives for each topic.
Identify at least one core QSEN competency in your learning objectives and provide details for why you selected it.
At the end of your paper, provide a three- to four-paragraph reflection that demonstrates your understanding of the QSEN project. What are the goals of this project, and why are they important to nursing education? How do they relate to curriculum taught at the theoretical and clinical levels?

“Time to scrub in,” says Dr. Hodges. The appendectomy you are about to observe is your
second surgical case in surgical technician school. The patient, David Sims, is an 18-
year-old male who was healthy until two days ago when he began having severe
abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting resulting in a diagnosis of appendicitis. David is in
excellent health and has never had surgery before, so you anticipate the procedure to go
smoothly.
Your instructor asked the anesthesiologist, Dr. Hodges, if you can observe her today
during the procedure. “All of the patient’s vital signs and lab work are within normal
limits so we are good to go,” says Dr. Hodges as David is brought into the operating
room. You help get David ready by applying the heart monitor, oxygen saturation
monitor, and blood pressure cuff. After David has been sedated, Dr. Hodges places a
special tube down his esophagus to measure his core body temperature and another in his
trachea (an endotracheal tube) to help him breathe during the procedure. While Dr.
Hodges places the endotracheal tube, she comments, “His jaw muscles are a bit tight so it
is very important to check and record his vital signs every 10 minutes. That is your job
today while I monitor his respiratory status.”
The case has been in progress for about 20 minutes when you notice David’s heart rate
jump up to 120bpm, setting off the ECG alarm on the monitor. You are concerned and
ask, “Can he feel what is happening? His heart rate just went up.” Dr. Hodges looks at
you and asks, “What is his core temperature?” You show her the chart and see that
David’s temperature has gradually begun to rise and is now 101.8° F (38.8° C). Dr.
Hodges’ face turns serious and she says, “His exhaled carbon dioxide levels have also
begun to rise. We need to get the malignant hyperthermia cart right away!”
David is now two days post-operative and is recovering in the Surgical Intensive Care
Unit. You recall all of the activity that occurred to save his life by treating his malignant
hyperthermia. You researched this condition and discovered that it is an inherited disease.
While under general anesthesia, the affected person will experience a rapid rise in body
temperature and severe muscle contractions. Dr. Hodges drops by to see David and says
to you, “I was impressed how you handled yourself during a very stressful situation.
Good job.”
Short Answer Questions:
1. David’s body temperature rises above normal during the surgery (hyperthermia).
How does skeletal muscle tissue contribute to body temperature?
2. During malignant hyperthermia, there is an increased amount of calcium released
into the sarcoplasm of skeletal muscle cells.
a. What organelle stores calcium in muscles cells?
b. Describe the events that must occur in the muscle cell before calcium is
released from this organelle.
3. Jaw muscle contraction (masseter spasm) is one of the key physical findings seen
in David’s case of malignant hyperthermia. Explain how calcium functions to
cause contraction of a skeletal muscle cell.
4. Dr. Hodges notes that David’s exhaled carbon dioxide levels are elevated. List all
the metabolic pathways that function to synthesize ATP for skeletal muscle
contraction. Which of these pathways produces carbon dioxide as a by-product?
5. Malignant hyperthermia causes a hypermetabolic state in skeletal muscle, which
is triggered by high demands for ATP during uncontrolled muscle contractions.
a. What is the role of ATP in cross bridge cycling?
b. What is the role of ATP in generating a resting membrane potential?
c. What is the role of ATP in maintaining calcium concentration gradients?
6. Dantrolene is the only drug available to treat malignant hyperthermia. It works by
inhibiting calcium channels of the terminal cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Explain how this inhibition helps to terminate skeletal muscle contraction. What
effect would this have on David’s body temperature?
