Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

The body is constantly sending signals about its health. One of the most easily recognized signals is pain. Musculoskeletal conditions comprise one of the leading causes of severe long-term pain in patients. The musculoskeletal system is an elaborate system of interconnected levers that provides the body with support and mobility. Because of the interconnectedness of the musculoskeletal system, identifying the causes of pain can be challenging. Accurately interpreting the cause of musculoskeletal pain requires an assessment process informed by patient history and physical exams. Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

In this Discussion, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

                                           To prepare:

· By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to one of the following specific case studies for this Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.

· Your Discussion post should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case. Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

                                      Case : Ankle Pain

A 46-year-old female reports pain in both of her ankles, but she is more concerned about her right ankle. She was playing soccer over the weekend and heard a “pop.” She is able to bear weight, but it is uncomfortable. In determining the cause of the ankle pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy,

· what foot structures are likely involved?

· What other symptoms need to be explored? What are your differential diagnoses for ankle pain?

· What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you perform? Should you apply the Ottawa ankle rules to determine if you need additional testing?

Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

 

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

· 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 you were assigned.

· 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.

Post an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources.

Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case.

List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each. Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

· Provide APA citations of the four relevant peer-reviewed articles at the systematic-reviews level related to your research question. If there are no systematic review level articles or meta-analysis on your topic, then use the highest level of evidence peer reviewed article.

· Describe the levels of evidence in each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, including an explanation of the strengths of using systematic reviews for clinical research. Be specific and provide examples.

To Prepare:

· Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry.

· Develop a PICO(T) question to address the clinical issue of interest you identified in Module 2 for the Assignment. This PICOT question will remain the same for the entire course.

Advanced Levels Of Clinical Inquiry And Systematic Reviews

· Use the key words from the PICO(T) question you developed and search at least four different databases in the Walden Library. Identify at least four relevant systematic reviews or other filtered high-level evidence, which includes meta-analyses, critically-appraised topics (evidence syntheses), critically-appraised individual articles (article synopses). The evidence will not necessarily address all the elements of your PICO(T) question, so select the most important concepts to search and find the best evidence available.

· Reflect on the process of creating a PICO(T) question and searching for peer-reviewed research. Advanced Levels Of Clinical Inquiry And Systematic Reviews

Introduction To Evidence-Based Practice

Purpose

This week’s graded topics relate to the following Course Outcomes (COs).

  • CO 3: Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects. (PO 6)
  • CO 5: Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice. (PO 7 & 8) Introduction To Evidence-Based Practice

Discussion

We begin our journey into discovering the new world of research and evidence-based practice (EBP) by exploring our past. After completing the required readings and lesson, answer the following:

  • Explain how research has evolved since the Florence Nightingale era.
  • Discuss how research and EBP are different; include how you believe research supports EBP for nursing.
  • Describe one past/historical unethical breach of research conduct; then, share how you would ensure care of a study participant using one ethical or legal research consideration (guideline/principle)

    ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

Hello Class,
Why should nurses incorporate research? How could it (or does it?) impact your nursing practice?  Think about these questions as you complete the assigned readings this week.  Our profession was founded by Florence Nightingale, who was not just our nursing pioneer, but a researcher, too. In the last few years, we have seen many trends pushing nurses to have a professional practice based on evidence.  With that as our beginning, consider our week’s discussion: Introduction To Evidence-Based Practice

1. How has research evolved since Florence Nightingale?

2. How are research and EBP different and how does research support EBP?

3.  Unfortunately, despite the positive impact research and EBP has, there have been major cases of research misconduct.  Please choose one historical case and how you would engage in ethical treatment of a research participant.

Professor’s comment: This week, we will meet the following course outcomes:

  • Identify ethical issues common to research involving human subjects.
  • Recognize the role of research findings in evidence-based practice.

You may begin posting in this thread no sooner than the first Sunday of week one. Posts prior to this time will not receive credit. I look forward to your thoughts!   Dr. Smailes

Interdisciplinary Communication Essay Paper

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation that describes  communication barriers within an interdisciplinary team and how those  barriers affect patient safety and health care outcomes. Offer a  solution in which you recommend evidence-based strategies to improve  communication within the team and explain how the strategies benefit the  team and patients. Interdisciplinary Communication Essay Paper

The ability to effectively communicate as part of interdisciplinary  collaboration is essential for patient safety and successful health  care delivery.

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

Effective communication is important in all organizations and is  especially important in the area of health care. Communication can come  in many forms, but the crucial factor is whether the communication is  effective.

Collaboration among teams is important for the delivery of  appropriate medical care and for providing the specialized skills  necessary to meet the needs of patients and the public. Assessing the  needs of a community may involve communication across several public  service providers and private entities.

Maintaining open communication and collaboration among teams is  essential to assess the needs of a community or those of patients and  their families within a health care system. The same communication  skills must be evident within the interdisciplinary health care team, or  across the public and private sectors in a community, in order to  promote collaboration and understanding and to provide the utmost  quality service.

Imagine you are part of an interdisciplinary health care team in your  organization. Although the team has been working together for several  months, communication between members is not always efficient or  effective, and the situation has become stressful for everyone. The team  leader asks you to develop a presentation for the team that addresses  the issue.

Preparation

Search the Capella library and the Internet for scholarly and  professional peer-reviewed articles on communication. You will need at  least three articles to use as support for your work on this assessment. Interdisciplinary Communication Essay Paper

Directions

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation to examine the  communication issue and the risk it creates for positive health care  outcomes.

  • Describe the types of communication barriers that occur within an interdisciplinary team.
  • Explain how the communication barriers can impact patient safety and health care outcomes.
  • Recommend specific evidence-based strategies to improve communication within the team.
  • Explain how the strategies will benefit team members and patients.

Use the notes section of each slide to expand your points and cite  your supporting evidence. Also, include a title slide and a reference  slide that lists the resources you used in this assessment.

Additional Requirements

  • Use APA format for citations and references.
  • Be creative. Consider your intended audience.

Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Critical Appraisal Of Research

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.  Evidence-Based Project, Part 4: Critical Appraisal Of Research

Week 2 Discussion Theories In Nursing

Week 2 Discussion

  • Choose two concepts in the theory you choose last week and describe:
    • How are the concepts defined in general (from other references)?
    • How does the theorist define each of the concepts you have chosen?
    • w do those concepts apply to your clinical practice? Give concrete examples. To support your work, use the textbooks from your course and also use the South University Online Library, citing your sources in your work and providing references for the citations in APA format.Week 2 Discussion Theories In Nursing

Remember to list two concepts – and remember that theories are derived from conceptual models and are comprised of concepts and propositions. The only concepts that are common to all nursing theories, in some shape or form, are patient, nurse, health, and environment – which we discussed last week.

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

This week, select two concepts that are unique to your selected theory from last week – but they CANNOT be one of the four metaparadigm concepts – person, nurse, health or environment.

This is weeks one discussion please use this as a reference like stated above

Part One

The four meta paradigms of nursing are patient, health, nursing and environment. The metaparadigm of patient focuses on the recipient of care. It looks at the patient’s culture, spirituality, friends, family, and socioeconomic status. The premise of this metaparadigm is a patient is empowered to manage their health through positive connections (Branch et al., 2016). The second metaparadigm of health relates to the quality and patient wellness. Also, it includes patient’s access to health care. The third metaparadigm of environment refers to the internal and external factors relating with a patient. This includes a patient’s surroundings and interactions with visitors. The last metaparadigm of nursing component which relates to how nurses use their knowledge to provide care (Branch et al., 2016). It is important for nurses to apply these meta paradigms in their nursing practice to address patient care.

Part two

The theory applicable to my practice is the Theory of Human Caring disseminated by Jean Watson, a theorist in nursing. Watson advocates for developing specific theories to patient care (Nikfarid et al., 2018). Further, she interprets the nursing metaparadigm patient by promoting practice that satisfy human needs through human care. Watson believes it is important to honor the needs of a patient regardless of their beliefs or customs. Watson supports that individual patient needs should be valued and understood. Also, Watson interprets health as much more than curing an illness (Nikfarid et al., 2018). Watson believes that curing is a physiological response and nurses should use a holistic approach with patients. Week 2 Discussion Theories In Nursing

This theory is appropriate in my area of clinical practice because I believe in satisfying human needs of every patient. I believe in addressing each individual needs and spending quality time with patients to provide a caring environment. Further, healing is a process that involves a lot of factors that the Watson theory discusses. Even though the theory has faced some criticism, I find it appropriate in my areas of clinical practice.
