Assignment 1: Lab Assignment: Assessing the Abdomen

A woman went to the emergency room for severe abdominal cramping. She was diagnosed with diverticulitis; however, as a precaution, the doctor ordered a CT scan. The CT scan revealed a growth on the pancreas, which turned out to be pancreatic cancer—the real cause of the cramping.

Because of a high potential for misdiagnosis, determining the precise cause of abdominal pain can be time consuming and challenging. By analyzing case studies of abnormal abdominal findings, nurses can prepare themselves to better diagnose conditions in the abdomen.

In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

To Prepare

Review the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your Episodic note case study.

  • With regard to the Episodic note case study provided:
    • Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
    • Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.
    • Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
    • Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

The Assignment

  1. Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
  2. Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
  3. Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?
  4. What diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
  5. Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.

M2 Research Journal

Research Question:

“Is there a relationship between social media use and teenage depression?”

In your module 1 research journal, you identified a research question that you would like to explore this semester. For this journal, you will learn how to research your topic and explore what scholars have written about your topic. Before you begin your journal, carefully review the information in the Research, Write, and Cite guide.

This research journal has two components:

1. Identify at least ten secondary academic sources and compile them into an annotated bibliography, using APA style.

Make sure that each annotation includes the following criteria.

Author(s) qualifications

Main purpose or argument or point of view

Summary Content

2. Identify and describe three key ideas that have emerged from your research.

As you review your sources, compare and contrast their ideas and topics. Identify three themes that have emerged from your annotated bibliography. Briefly describe these (suggested length is a paragraph for each idea). These three themes will be the foundation for the literature review that you will write for your final research proposal.

What steps are you going to take to promote CSR initiatives? What community programs, nonprofits, or environmental projects will the new product or service support? How do you plan to attract, develop, engage, and reward your project team?

Discussion 400

Carl Kaysen, an American academic known for coining the phrase “the soulful corporation” to define new, more responsible large companies, believed said companies’ goal was no longer ROI. He proposed that these modern companies identify and target the much larger goal of being responsible not only to stockholders but to all. In today’s world, companies like UPS have mapped deliveries to make as many right turns as possible in order to save time, protect employees, save fuel, and reduce emissions. The NFL, Salesforce, and Walgreens have stepped up their DEI strategies to avoid bias in hiring and promotion of underrepresented groups.
With this in mind, for your initial post, describe the makeup of your project team. Then, address the following questions about your proposed strategy:
• What steps are you going to take to promote CSR initiatives? For example: what community programs, nonprofits, or environmental projects will the new product or service support? • How do you plan to attract, develop, engage, and reward your project team?
In your responses to your peers, address the following questions: • What suggestions do you have for improving your classmate’s plan to demonstrate consideration of DEI and CSR? To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric. Rubrics M Discussion Rubric: Undergraduate

6-2 Discussion: Balancing Business and Customer Expectations
Customers are at the center of every company, and therefore it is important for businesses to be influenced by customer requests and pushes for different products, product features, or services. But customers frequently do not consider people, planet, and profit when making requests. In this discussion, you will consider how businesses can influence their customers to consider ethical approaches to people, planet, and profit.
In your initial discussion post, address the following questions:
• What are the positive and negative impacts of the “Amazon effect” for customers? • As ethical concerns regarding business practices such as poor employee treatment, negative environmental impacts of production, and decreasing use of local storefronts are recognized, how much, if any, of the responsibility of these unethical practices fall to the customers, and how much, if any, falls to businesses?
In your replies to at least two peers, continue the discussion surrounding the influence and impact of customer demands. You may use the following questions to guide your response:
• How can organizations influence consumer behaviors and increase awareness of the value of the triple bottom line? • How can an organization leverage its mission, vision, and values in its communications with customers? • Should organizations ignore customers with unethical demands? What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of doing so?
To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric.
