Case Study: Fetal Abnormality

Jessica is a 30-year-old immigrant from Mexico City. She and her husband Marco have been in the U.S. for the last three years and have finally earned enough money to move out of their Aunt Maria’s home and into an apartment of their own. They are both hard workers. Jessica works 50 hours a week at a local restaurant and Marco has been contracting side jobs in construction. Six months before their move to an apartment, Jessica finds out she is pregnant.

Four months later, Jessica and Marco arrive at the county hospital, a large, public, nonteaching hospital. A preliminary ultrasound indicates a possible abnormality with the fetus. Further scans are conducted and it is determined that the fetus has a rare condition in which it has not developed any arms, and will not likely develop them. There is also a 25% chance that the fetus may have Down syndrome.

Dr. Wilson, the primary attending physician, is seeing Jessica for the first time, since she and Marco did not receive earlier prenatal care over concerns about finances. Marco insists that Dr. Wilson refrain from telling Jessica the scan results, assuring him that he will tell his wife himself when she is emotionally ready for the news. While Marco and Dr. Wilson are talking in another room, Aunt Maria walks into the room with a distressed look on her face. She can tell that something is wrong and inquires of Dr. Wilson. After hearing of the diagnosis, she walks out of the room wailing loudly and praying aloud.

Marco and Dr. Wilson continue their discussion, and Dr. Wilson insists that he has an obligation to Jessica as his patient and that she has a right to know the diagnosis of the fetus. He furthermore is intent on discussing all relevant factors and options regarding the next step, including abortion. Marco insists on taking some time to think of how to break the news to Jessica, but Dr. Wilson, frustrated with the direction of the conversation, informs the husband that such a choice is not his to make. Dr. Wilson proceeds back across the hall, where he walks in on Aunt Maria awkwardly praying with Jessica and phoning the priest. At that point, Dr. Wilson gently but briefly informs Jessica of the diagnosis, and lays out the option for abortion as a responsible medical alternative, given the quality of life such a child would have. Jessica looks at him and struggles to hold back her tears.

Jessica is torn between her hopes of a better socioeconomic position and increased independence, along with her conviction that all life is sacred. Marco will support Jessica in whatever decision she makes, but is finding it difficult not to view the pregnancy and the prospects of a disabled child as a burden and a barrier to their economic security and plans. Dr. Wilson lays out all of the options but clearly makes his view known that abortion is “scientifically” and medically a wise choice in this situation. Aunt Maria pleads with Jessica to follow through with the pregnancy and allow what “God intends” to take place, and urges Jessica to think of her responsibility as a mother

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MODEL AND A THEORY

/in /by

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MODEL AND A THEORY

A model demonstrates the researcher’s interpretation of how concepts are related to one another and is developed based on qualitative research. A theory is a hypothesis tested and measured to explain, predict, describe, and prescribe relationships between concepts and is developed through quantitative research. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MODEL AND A THEORY

ORDER A FREE-PLAGIARISM PAPER HERE

In short, the difference between a model and a theory is the amount of proof that exists in demonstrating the outcomes they predict.

What do models and theories have in common?

Both models and theories show relationships between concepts. Models often are precursors to theory development.

Directions

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUMBER OF CALORIES CONSUMED AND THE NUMBER OF CALORIES BURNT

/in /by

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUMBER OF CALORIES CONSUMED AND THE NUMBER OF CALORIES BURNT

Weight management is based on the relationship between the number of calories consumed (calories in) and the number of calories burned (calories out). On any given day, one of three things can happen:

  • The number of calories in equals the number of calories out. This results in no change in body weight. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUMBER OF CALORIES CONSUMED AND THE NUMBER OF CALORIES BURNT
  • The number of calories in is less than the number of calories out. This results in weight loss.
  • The number of calories in is greater than the number of calories out. This results in weight gain.

    ORDER A FREE-PLAGIARISM PAPER HERE

Weight management is accomplished by the deliberate application of one of these situations over a period of time. For example, if your goal is to lose weight, you will need to consistently take in fewer calories than you use. This can be accomplished by decreasing the number of calories coming in (i.e., dieting), increasing the number of calories going out (i.e., exercising), or a combination of the two. Your weight management strategy is the actual steps you intend to take to accomplish your personal goals.

Assessing progress is an essential part of any weight management strategy as it provides feedback regarding the strategy’s effectiveness. Successful monitoring can take a variety of forms. Simple monitoring techniques include regular weigh-ins, conscious food choices, or a look in the mirror. Other techniques require additional time or energy, but often provide more detailed information. These techniques include assessing body mass index (BMI), calculating a waist-hip circumference ratio, and a full body composition analysis. While the concept might appear simple, many individuals can attest to the fact that maintaining a weight management strategy can be difficult. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NUMBER OF CALORIES CONSUMED AND THE NUMBER OF CALORIES BURNT

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 8, “Nutrition, Health, and Fitness” and consider the relationship between nutrition and personal fitness.
  • Review Chapter 9, “Achieving Optimal Body Weight”” Pay particular attention to the factors that affect weight management and the elements of a successful weight management program.
  • Review the article “Appropriate Physical Activity Intervention Strategies for Weight Loss and Prevention of Weight Regain for Adults.” Consider the factors that impact weight management in the long term.
  • Consider your personal weight management strategy.
  • Find a peer-reviewed journal article in the Walden Library that relates to one factor that may influence your body composition and weight management (e.g., sociological status, environmental, genetic, cultural, dietary choices, etc.). Focus on how the element discussed in the article may impact the development of your personal weight management strategy.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post a brief description of the article you selected. Explain your weight management strategy and how the factor discussed in the article may impact your strategy. Finally, explain how you might address the factor.

Each year, 43% of American women and 28% of American men try to lose weight (Serdula et al., 1999). One of the Healthy People 2020’s goals is to reduce the obesity population to 31%, but the rate is rising instead of falling. Obesity is a worldwide problem, with 65% of the world’s population living in countries where obesity-related health problems kill more people than underweight health issues (World Health Organization, 2011). Despite the rise in obesity, many people strive for unrealistic thinness in response to pressure from peers and a society obsessed with appearance.

Just as excessive body fat can be unhealthy, too little body fat can also compromise health. The minimum level of body fat needed to maintain good health varies among individuals and depends on gender and genetics. Infertility, depression, and early death are among the possible outcomes of excessive, and unsafe, weight loss.

CAREER AS A NURSE

/in /by

CAREER AS A NURSE

At the beginning of my career as a nurse, I started working as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) at a nursing home. I used to work at least 72 hours a week with the same residents. Initially, when I witnessed death at work, it was very difficult for me because I had become attached to residents emotionally. I used to interact with the residents almost every day of my life, and I treated them like family. Later, after I had experienced many deaths, I had learned to be more compassionate, able to accept and tolerate delays without becoming anxious or frustrated, and I made sure I was providing the best care of the residents during the last stages of their lives. I have decided to make sure they have the respect, compassion, and dignity that they deserve until their last breath. I make sure that they are comfortable, clean, and dry. The most important thing is that they are not suffering.  I have held their hands after my shift and stayed at the bedside for the patient and the family. I understand now that it is not about me, it is about them. According to Domrose (2011), “studies suggest that nurses go through a unique grieving process when patients die, and how they manage this process is important to their well-being. CAREER AS A NURSE

To answer the question of if it gotten easier or harder for me to accept the fact of death, my answer is “easier.” It is easier because I can talk to my co-workers, friends, and the chaplain at the hospital where I work, and I have experienced many deaths in the years that I’ve worked as a float pool nurse, so it is not a complete oddity to see death. Also, the hospital where I work offers a committee for debriefings after a difficult death or a sentinel event. I’d like to add that float pool nurses in particular are often assigned patients who are dying. CAREER AS A NURSE

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS

/in /by

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there are 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections every year in the United States (CDC, 2010b). STIs may present serious health implications for infected patients—especially for those who are unaware of their health condition. Studies show that women are not only at greater risk of contracting these infections, but they also tend to have more severe health problems resulting from infections than men (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2009b). As an advanced practice nurse, you must educate female patients and emphasize the importance of prevention and STI testing for all women regardless of marital status, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. For this Discussion, consider STI education strategies for the three patients in the following case studies: SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS

Case Study 1:

A 19-year-old Asian American female comes into the clinic for a well-woman checkup. She states that about three weeks ago she had a non-tender sore on her labia that resolved without treatment. Her gynecologic exam is normal but she has maculopapular lesions on her trunk, neck, palms, and soles of her feet. The remainder of her exam was unremarkable.

Case Study 2:

A 31-year-old African American female is concerned about a white vaginal discharge. She has self-treated in the past with over-the-counter vaginal creams with some success. She has had no relief thus far for this episode.

Case Study 3:

A 21-year-old nulligravida comes to see you concerned about vague lower abdominal pain for two days associated with a yellowish, nonodorous, vaginal discharge. Past history reveals regular menstrual periods and no previous surgeries or significant medical problems. Her last menstrual period was normal and ended two days ago. She had a similar episode about eight months ago for which she did not seek care because of lack of health insurance. She is currently sexually active with one partner and has had two partners in the past year. She is not using any type of contraception. On physical exam you note a temperature of 38º C, a regular pulse of 100, and a BP of 110/65. Her abdomen is diffusely tender in both lower quadrants. Pelvic exam reveals a yellowish cervical discharge with cervical motion tenderness and a tender fullness in both adnexa. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS

To prepare:

Review Chapter 20 of the Schuiling and Likis text and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention article in this week’s Learning Resources.

Review and select one of the three provided case studies. Reflect on the patient information.

Consider a differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Think about the most likely diagnosis for the patient.

Think about a treatment and management plan for the patient. Be sure to consider appropriate dosages for any recommended pharmacologic and/or nonpharmacologic treatments.

Consider strategies for educating patients on the treatment and management of the sexually transmitted infection you identified as your primary diagnosis.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses, and list them from highest priority to lowest priority. Explain which is the most likely diagnosis for the patient and why. Then, explain a treatment and management plan for the patient, including appropriate dosages for any recommended treatments. Finally, explain strategies for educating patients on the sexually transmitted infection. SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS

    ORDER A FREE-PLAGIARISM PAPER HERE

Week 1: Topic Research/Selection and Literature Review

Part 1: Topic Research and Selection

Begin this process by researching what health care organizations are doing or attempting to do to increase profitability. Remember, profitability can be improved from many different angles. A nonexclusive list of potential ways would be adding additional services, decreasing costs, increasing the amount of services that are provided, or implementing a quality improvement program that qualifies for incentive monies. Check trade journals or professional discussion boards, or reach out to existing health care managers.

Part 2: Literature Review

Perform a literature review of the solution that you have decided to apply to your organization. The review will encompass several articles, and at least 1 of the articles must be peer-reviewed. Look at current material (within the last 2 years). Remember, a literature review includes a summary of the information that you found that is relevant to your topic as well as an APA reference for each resource that you reviewed.

Identifying what topic to perform research on should be accomplished quickly because you will need sufficient time to perform your literature review. Review a minimum of 10 documents. The review should be between 10–15 pages, including the bibliography. Use APA format CURRENT EMERGING TRENDS ON HEALTHCARE
