In collaboration with the approved course preceptor, students will identify a specific evidence-based topic for the capstone project change proposal. Students should consider the clinical environment in which they are currently employed or have recently worked. The capstone project topic can be a clinical practice problem, an organizational issue, a leadership or quality improvement initiative, or an unmet educational need specific to a patient population or community. The student may also choose to work with an interprofessional collaborative team.

What is the mode of inheritance?

/in /by

In your discussion post, answer the following questions:
(1) What is the mode of inheritance?
(2) What adaptations, if any, must the patient make to function with this inherited problem?
(3) What is the patient’s prognosis and life expectancy?

Provide discussion related to management of your decision-making if the sources do not match.

/in /by

Pick a common (or not so common) preventative health topic and find 3 different evidence-based (EBP) resources that address that preventative health issue. Discuss the quality of the sources, the content of the topic, and determine if each of the sources agrees/match with each other. Provide discussion related to management of your decision-making if the sources do not match. See grading criteria below for more information.

For example, smoking cessation is the topic. The 3 EBP sources chosen for comparison are CDC.gov smokefree.gov and American Lung Association. Present content regarding smoking cessation from the 3 sources and compare. Provide analysis of the strength of the sources and the provider is to manage the discrepancies of content. You cannot use this example for your post.

Develop strategy for competing school-based tasks when JIA/Asthma flares.

/in /by

Liam’s has JIA (polyarticular) which was diagnosed age 8. Liam reports increasing pain levels in the joints, particularly R wrist, which was fractured in a cycling accident 3 years ago. He also reports increasing discomfort in his shoulders and knees over the last 6 months. Erica reports that prior to this latest exacerbation Liams’ symptoms have been well controlled with regular medications since his last flare up two years ago.

Liam has allergic Asthma diagnosed aged 10. His primary triggers are dust and pollen. Liam had 4x attendances at the Westtown Regional Hospital A&E department last summer. Three acute exacerbations were associated with large dust storms in the area (currently in drought) and once after being exposed to large amounts of dust while assisting his farther load cattle onto a truck in the stock yards.

Current presentation 3/3/20XX

On examination R hand, R shoulder and L knee have mild swelling and are warm to the touch. Liams complains of 4/10 pain on movement of these joints. Liam report having to use his Asthma reliever medication at least once per week for the last 2-3 months.

Liams’ mother Erica has expressed concerns in relation to his current psychological status. She states that she believes Liam is becoming increasingly socially withdrawn and is not participating as actively in the management of his JIA or Asthma as he has in the past. She states that his year advisor has also been in touch as he is displaying reduced effort in class which is out of character as he is usually a good student. Liam was somewhat reluctant to engage in discussion regarding management and treatment of either of his conditions.

Patient’s care goals (chronic and preventive)

  • “We want to get to the specialists to review his JIA an Asthma management. We need to get to the bottom of what has caused his Asthma and JIA to get worse over the last 6 months”
  • “We need to come up with a better plan for organizing and managing all of Liams’ appointments and the information we receive from them – we seem to just be reacting when thing go wrong these days”

Patient’s self-management tools:

  • Consult paediatric rheumatologist and paediatrician ASAP.

Patients barriers to care goals

TBA

Team Goals: (chronic and preventive)

What are the advantages of using company devices for professional communication?

/in /by

WK7 Case Study
In a local home healthcare agency, nurses are using their personal cell phones to email and text physicians, the agency, and local hospitals. The agency is considering providing the nurse’s company cell phones with a secure login. There are advantages and disadvantages to each option.
Step 2: Your first post is based on the first letter of your last name. For example, if your last name is Smith, you would address the use of company devices. Please consider the impact of use, tracking of information, security, education, cost, and maintenance.
What are the advantages of using company devices for professional communication? Since this is the preferred method of communication due to the convenience and efficiency this technology needs to have security in place between the physicians and their patients. Most of the attention should be directed toward confidentiality as it relates to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA). This would include the documentation sent through e-mail and available patient records. These sources of communication to provide efficient responses to n their patient care, reimbursement should be considered when using these forms of communication.
What are the advantages of using company devices for professional communication? The company assigned cell phone devices creates more memorization of numbers, phone setup, phone limitations, and the need to learn another cell system. The phones are bulky in pockets, risk of getting lost, contaminated, stolen, or miss placed. Walking off the job with them and returning them.

If you were the agency, would you choose personal or company devices? Explain your choice.
Businesses because any liability associated with HIPPA would be helped by the business and not the nurse.
