Case study

You are asked to see Mr. Basset, who is 80 years old and has recently lost his wife. His children do not live nearby, but Mr. Basset sees them on holidays. Mr. Basset has had an unexplained weight loss of 20 pounds in 3 months. He is taking medication for hypertension and arthritis.
Mr. Basset reports that his wife did most of the cooking and he has limited cooking skills. He usually has cereal with milk and coffee for breakfast and soup for a second meal later in the day. He eats crackers throughout the day if he is hungry. In addition, Mr. Basset has ill-fitting dentures and claims that food just does not taste the same. He is also on a limited budget. More than anything, however, Mr. Basset is lonely.

Discussion Questions

a. What physiological factors might contribute to Mr. Basset’s weight loss?

b. What psychosocial factors might contribute to Mr. Basset’s weight loss?

c. Give one likely explanation why Mr. Basset’s dentures do not fit.

d. What community resources might be used to improve Mr. Basset’s nutritional status?

e. Compare the risk factors described in Mr. Basset’s case with the “Determine Your Nutritional Health” checklist from the Nutrition Screening Initiative

f. Come up with a nursing diagnosis and care plan with goal and at least three interventions to follow Mr. Basset. Nurselabs.com is an excellent resource.

g. SBAR a concern to Mr. Basset’s PCP relevant to Mr. Bassett’s status.

Part 1: Creating a Research Question: The quality of research often depends on the quality of the question driving it. It is important to understand how personal opinions, perspectives, and historical sources all play a part in developing and examining a research question. Complete the following steps to discuss how you developed a strong research question about your chosen historical event.

  1. Describe how your assumptions, beliefs, and values influenced your choice of topic.
    1. How might your own perspectives and opinions impact the topic you chose and how you may approach studying it?
  2. Discuss the significance of your historical research question in relation to your current event.
    1. State your historical research question and explain the connection between your current event and your question.
  3. Explain how you used sources to finalize your research question.
    1. Identify the specific primary and secondary sources you used.
    2. Discuss how evidence in these primary and secondary sources strengthened or challenged the focus of your question.

Part 2: Building Context to Address Questions: In this part of the project, you will examine the historical context related to your historical event. The context will be like snapshots that capture what was happening in history that affected the development of your current event.

  1. Describe the context of your historical event that influenced your current event.
    1. How does the context of your historical event help tell the story of what was happening at the time? How might this historical event connect or lead to your current event?
  2. Describe a historical figure or group’s participation in your historical event.
    1. This person or people must have directly participated in the event you identified as it was happening, not after it.
    2. Use specific details from your primary and secondary sources to demonstrate how the person or people participated in the event.
  3. Explain the historical figure or group’s motivation to participate in your historical event.
    1. Consider why the person or people were motivated to get involved in the event.

Part 3: Examining How Bias Impacts Narrative:Narrative is how people tell stories based on their own assumptions, beliefs, and values. From a historical perspective, narratives influence who we focus on, what we focus on, and how we discuss events and issues in the past and present. Complete the following steps to explore how the stories about your current event and the historical events leading to it have been told.

  1. Describe a narrative you identified while researching the history of your historical event.
    1. There can be multiple narratives depending on your sources. Pick one or two that you feel have been the most influential.
  2. Articulate how biased perspectives presented in primary and secondary sources influence what is known or unknown about history.
    1. How do potentially biased sources influence knowledge of your historical event and current event?
    2. Support your stance with examples from your primary and secondary sources.
  3. Identify the perspectives that you think are missing from your historical event’s narrative.
    1. Whose stories were not recorded? Whose voices were ignored or silenced?

Part 4: Connecting the Past With the Present:Consider how the work you have done to develop your research question and investigate it can be used to explain connections between the past and present. Complete the following steps to discuss the value of developing historical inquiry skills.

  1. Explain how researching its historical root shelped improve your understanding of your current event.
    1. How did examining your current event from a historical perspective help you better comprehend its origins?
  2. Articulate how questioning your assumptions, beliefs, and values may benefit you as an individual.
    1. Why is it valuable to be aware of your assumptions, beliefs, and values when encountering information in your personal, academic, and professional life?
  3. Discuss how being a more historically informed citizen may help you understand contemporary issues.
    1. Consider how having knowledge of history could influence how you approach current challenges or questions in the world

Answer questions on XRD

Use the book attached in the following link and any other relevant source to answer the following questions.

 Make your answers short and cite the source (and page number or link) of each of your answer. Kindly, we should be able to reproduce you answer from the page you cite.

5. Examine figure 2.57 in Brandon & Kaplan which shows a TEM diffraction pattern from a single grain of α-Fe (BCC Fe). Examine the apparent symmetry of the pattern (note spot diam is used to indicate the intensity of the diffracted beams) – what is the zone axis for this pattern? (hint:the diffraction pattern MUST reflect AT LEAST the symmetry of the real crystal along that direction but could appear to be higher symmetry. Index the pattern, remembering the following rules:

  • The zone axis (vector that the e-beam is travelling along) points straight out of the page and is centered in the center of the pattern
  • The in-plane vectors to the diffraction spots are the momentum transfer vectors and reciprocal lattice vectors ∆k=G. Since the zone axis is normal to the page and all the G vectors are in plane, the dot products of G*zone axis vector must be zero.
  • The radius from pattern center to each spot is the magnitude of the G vector times a scale factor. So you can take ratios of these radii and invert them to get the ratios of d-spacings in real space.
  • The d-spacing as function of hkl for a cubic crystal is equation 2.38 in B&K book.

6. Briefly explain the origins of Kikuchi lines (see chapter 2 near end for discussion in context of a TEM diffraction pattern. Also read sections 5.6.4-5.6.6. What changes in the discussion for the OIM / EBSD context as opposed to TEM context?
