Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.

/in /by

The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 500-750-word paper, examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:

Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children. Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.
Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.
Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment.

Who identified the need- department of health, compared to national statistic?

/in /by
    1. Assessment of Needs and Rationales (30%)
    • Topic for project/ paper –  Diabetes mellitus on adults population (New Diagnosed Client)
    • Location/ Site- Arlington free Clinic
    • Address- 2921 11th St South, Arlington –VA, 22204.
    • Students required are to do online article research about the assigned clinic for the project or other articles pertaining to the work as well.
    • Remember, to know the type of client and take into consideration and the type of teachings. (Level of understanding)
  2. Group/Aggregate description (10% = 4 x 2.5% each)
  3. What is the health teaching need- What service does the site provide -From website and considering census data
  4. Who identified the need- department of health, compared to national statistic?

iii. How was the need identified- (for teaching) Statistics explain the process of justifying a reason for planning teaching

  1. What does the evidence say about this group and their teaching needs (application of evidence-based practice- cite research)- For example – older diabetics learn best by… or teens are most responsive to learning by having someone close to their age talk to them about their experience (have an article to site for this). Or any other justification for your teaching plan.
  2. Assessment of readiness (There may be possible constraints in assessing this area due to limited group availability or the setting). (10% = 5 x 2% each)
  3. Readiness- of population – depending of what they are teaching – diabetics more ready than those just getting screening. Are teens ready to learn? What factors influence the use of contraceptives in teens?
  4. Motivation- Age of client’s factors in. Prevention is not motivation; a recent MI (heart attack) is motivation. Example: Motivation was definitely one of several very important behavior elements in helping to control bloodpressure,” says researcher Laura P. Svetkey, MD, director of the HypertensionCenter at Duke University School of Medicine. “A little nudge in the right direction seems to go a long way in helping people lose weight, increase their physical activity, and eat healthier to lower their blood pressure and reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. And if it only takes a little nudge to get people motivated to be on the right track, that’s terrific. (Make sure you cite anything you use!!)

iii. Experiential background (previous teaching?)- Have they been told by health care providers in the past?  What will change their view to be open to learning this time?

  1. Current status (age intellectual level and/or educational level, etc)-describe the population you are teaching, how does this affect your teaching method. Teens, older perhaps high school educated, primarily Spanish speakers, homeless population (they have so many other factors in their life this may not be high on the list)
  2. Interest and actual and/or potential barriers to learning- Lack of transportation, homeless, poverty level, feel like it is out of their hands, fear of failure, lack of motivation, environment, lack of money to buy medications/go to appointments, etc
  1. Two Community/Group Diagnoses (10% = 2 x 5% each)- Nursing diagnoses appropriate for the teaching plan Explain why, not just listing, Each one should be a paragraph.
  2. Knowledge deficit
  3. Risk for infection
  1. Teaching Plan (40%)

Note. Teaching plan worth and strategies worth more percentage and more information is needed on teachings and strategies.

  1. Teaching project on time. What specific gains are you aiming for with your aggregate? (10%) – What is your goal in teaching the selected population? The Learning objective or objectives that you use can be based on three areas of learning: knowledge, skills and attitudes. Learning objectives define learning outcomes and focus teaching. They help to clarify, organize and prioritize learning. You need to explain why the objectives are appropriate for your patients/clients.
  2. 2 Objectives (10%)
  3. Teaching Strategies 15%:
  4. Identify at least 3 teaching strategies/methods student to use -(Q & A, pretest/post test, discussion, lecture, video, handouts, survey, case study, demo, role playing, ppt slides, poster board, web links, readings, self-report, group work, brain storming, visual aids, etc…) Explain why
  5. Multilanguage or pictures / diagrams
  6. Demonstration
  7. Compelling video
  8. Content based on literature review on reference page – 4 evidence-based resources within the past 5 years. Research on handwashing example – the health issue and relating it to population.

iii. APA Format.

  1. What financial needs to be in place in order to make the changes occur? – (5%) Go with the one that pertains to your client or case. Example, hand washing- if suggest more sinks financial need of buying sinks….plumbing… increase number of times washing hands more soap paper towel. Thinking about this…. Do you need to have a support group in the clinic on weekends or evenings- then it needs to be staffed for 1-2 hours, what does this cost?

Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.

/in /by

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:
1. Evidence-based solution
2. Nursing intervention
3. Patient care
4. Health care agency
5. Nursing practice
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Give an example of a speaker or writer who lied and many people believed the lie, and give an explanation for why so many believed the lie.

/in /by

Respond to at least one of the following questions in 500 words or more (total for all responses). Your replies to fellow students’ responses will also count toward this total.

1. In the Plato PowerPoint, I mentioned how important the concept of resemblance was to Plato’s rhetoric. In the Phaedrus, Plato has Socrates use several forms of resemblance, such as allegory, metaphor, simile, and analogy. When explaining the difference between true and false rhetoric, he compares rhetoricians to doctors. Explain in your own words Socrates’ argument that rhetoric is like medicine. Give one specific example of recent political discourse that reveals the speaker to be a rhetorical “quack.”

2. An enchantment is a magical spell, an illusion. At one point, Socrates defines oratory (rhetoric) as the “art of enchanting the soul.” Magic tends to act by misdirection. It keeps your attention on one thing so that the magician can does something that you do not notice. Socrates implies that rhetoric, although illusion, can be either good or evil. Give one example of a speaker’s or writer’s use of a rhetorical “trick” that leads to audience towards the truth or the good, and one that leads the audience towards error or evil.

3. The prophecy given Socrates by the oracle of Delphi implies that the wisest people are those who know when they do not know something, and fools are those who think they know something when they really don’t. Nevertheless, Socrates’ says that a good speaker must know the truth, but knowing the truth is not sufficient to being a good speaker. Give an example from current events or your personal experience of a speaker or writer who told the truth but few accepted it, and give an explanation for why few people accepted it. Give an example of a speaker or writer who lied and many people believed the lie, and give an explanation for why so many believed the lie.
