Please read chapter 4, 5 & 7 of the class textbook and review the attached Power Point presentations.  Once done answer the following questions;

1. How does the epidemiologic triad apply to health issues we see in the hospital? What are some common diagnoses in the acute care setting? What about in the community setting? How does the epidemiologic triad differ when a nurse is providing care to someone in the community or in his home? Does the nurse have more or less control in either arena?
2. Discuss the data presented regarding obesity in America in the Ethical Connection feature on page 118.  Please review the data and discuss your feelings about the role of community health nurses in community nutrition.
3. What are some of the causes for increases in healthcare costs in recent years, as outlined in the chapter?  Brainstorm some examples that you have actually witnessed in the clinical setting. Can any of these factors be modified? What could nurses do to help cut down on costs related to the different factors?
4. Why are the causes of morbidity and mortality in other countries different than in the United States? In what ways are they the same? Why do those differences exist? What types of services & interventions are needed in less developed countries to help with their health issues?

Clinical Integration – Speciality Practice Assessment: Case Study Outline- Information For 

NRSG370 – Clinical Integration – Speciality Practice
Assessment: Case Study Outline- Information For Students
Assessment 2: Case Study – North Sydney
Students will complete a case study which discusses the provision of ethical, legal, evidence based, holistic person-centred care including the establishment of realistic and relevant goals through the theoretical examination of a particular nursing specialty case study using the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2013). Students must select and respond to the case study question that reflects their allocated clinical placement specialty. If you have not been allocated a specialty placement, OR you are repeating this unit, please refer to your LEO campus announcements forum and the 3-hour lecture for instructions on how to proceed (you should not repeat the same case study question twice). Case study questions can be found on LEO via this link: https://ift.tt/2vHkjZV
• There are a variety of case studies on LEO page under the case study tile
• Choose the one that best reflects your specialty placement
• BNBP students – must do ‘High Dependency’ Case Study
The Clinical Reasoning Cycle
Student are expected to use the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2018) as a framework to plan and evaluate person-centred care. You are being asked to think through the case scenario and then discuss how data was collected and the type of data collected, identify problems and nursing issues, identify and state the objectives and discuss how care was provided in order to address the issues and evaluate the interventions carried out: (analyse and identify a nursing issues/problems/needs, set objectives, discuss the nursing interventions and evaluate the interventions of care carried out). As per lecture notes, students are expected to apply the clinical reasoning cycle to address the case scenario:
• Consider the person’s situation
• Collect, process and present related health information
• Identify and prioritise at least three (3) nursing problems/issues based on the health assessment data that you have identified for the person at the centre of care.
• Establish goals for priority of nursing care related to the nursing problem/issues identified
• Discuss the nursing care of the person; link it to assessment data and history.
• Evaluate your nursing care strategies to justify the nursing care provided
• Reflect on the person’s outcomes

Adapted from Tracy Levett-Jones, et al. (2010)
Application of the Clinical Reasoning Cycle
Based on the stages of the clinical reasoning cycle, the outline of the essay should have:
Title Page: (not included in the essay)
• Unit Title: NRSG370 – Clinical Integration – Speciality Practice
• Student Name:
• Student ID Number:
• Speciality Area:
• Scenario:
• Total number of words:
• Essay should be formatted
1. Introduction
• introduces/outlines/situates the topic of the essay
• clearly describes the way in which the essay will proceed
• the essay is structured in a logical sequence so that the content flows (headings may be used to develop the structure of the paper)
2. Content
a) Consideration of facts from the patient or situation
Consider the case scenario of your choosing based on your clinical elective as per assessment “Choose the one that best reflects your specialty placement” this is where you determine what information should be collected and how information is going to be collected.
b) Collection of information
You need to discuss the type of information collected and why this information was collected based on the scenario for the clinical elective. For instance, the type of information collected should consider and include the history, current presenting issues and treatment plan, observations, results of investigations done medical records etc.
c) Processing gathered information (analysing and interpreting)
• The most important thing is to analyse the information that you have collected and identify areas of nursing care needs and problems. In this section, your discussion should reflect analysis and interpretation of the patient’s current health status using your established knowledge of physiology, pharmacology, pathology, culture, and ethics to establish needs and issues drawn from the information. This stage allows you to demonstrate synthesis of theory and experience acquired in previous and concurrent nursing units.
d) Identify the problem
• Identify and state the problems/needs or issues you have identified. It is important to identify the problems/needs/issues and the potential cause to determine the reason behind the patient’s current issue. Examples:
• Dehydration as a result of loose bowel motion x 4 and vomiting x 2 during am shift
• Falls risk as a result of confusion and unsteady gait
• Loss of weight as a result of poor oral intake for one week
• Pain due to post -operative procedure – laparotomy
• Hyperglycaemia due to poor diet and lack of knowledge on diabetes
Please note these are examples only, the nature of the problems you identify will depend on the nature of the case study and your analysis and interpretation of the situation.
e) Establish goals
• Here, you determine the nursing goals for the patient’s situation. Identify and prioritise at least three (3) nursing problems/issues based on your assessment and collected data.
f) Take action
• Here you discuss the nursing interventions or measures you will undertake in order to address the three nursing issues or problems. These measures should take in consideration the ethical, legal, evidence based, holistic -person-centred approach.
g) Evaluation and Reflection
• Evaluate the effectiveness of the nursing interventions you have discussed (presumably which could have been carried out or actually carried out) and reflect on how the interventions could have been improved or done better- State the potential measures that could have been considered or could have been carried out to address the problem. This phase allows you to critically analyse what has been done and how best the care was carried out or could have been improved.
•
3. Conclusion
• the essays ends with a cogent, defendable conclusion that summarises the discussion
4. References
• Provide a list of references used in your discussion

Nursing is in the midst of many changes. How can you be a driving force to bring about needed change within the field of nursing?

For this assignment, write 4–6 pages addressing an issue within the nursing field or your own organization.  Preparation  Select a problem to address either within nursing as a professional field or within the organization where you work. Narrow down your options by considering which change would best be undertaken by an interprofessional team.  Some examples within the nursing discipline include: •Using mobile and portable technology to support patients.

•Using evidence–based practice (EBP) to improve patient care.

•Increasing patient safety and quality of care. The use of medical technology such as genes and stem cells, or robots in the OR.

•Addressing the nursing shortage now and into the future.

•Improving the work environment (providing calm, supportive spaces for nurses; improved dialogue between health care professionals).

•Improving safety for nurses at work (violence, spreading diseases, or physical injury).

•Dealing with abuse by health care professionals.  Alternatively, you can narrow the scope to an issue within your own organization:

•Developing a mobility program for an inpatient unit.

•Implementing “smart” technology to assist in patient monitoring.

•Creating a mentoring program to attract and retain nurses.

•Implementing protocols for infection control or treatment of an epidemic (or both). •Developing a plan to eliminate physical violence and verbal abuse in the workplace.

•Other issue.  Once you have selected an issue to address, look for scholarly and professional articles that focus on the problem, the needed change, and how interprofessional teams can work together to drive change.  Requirements  Complete the following:

•Describe the problem briefly, along with how it impacts the organization, patients, or the nursing profession (or all of these).

•Describe possible evidence–based interventions for the problem.

•Analyze potential barriers and resistance to change that might come from the organization, patients, or colleagues (or all of these).

•Describe strategies to overcome barriers and resistance to change.

•Develop a plan to implement evidence–based interventions. What steps would you take? What resources might you need?

•Identify other health care professionals to enlist as team members to help drive change in the organization.

Your completed assignment should be 4–6 pages in length, not including the title page and reference page. Support your statements and intervention plan with references to and citations for at least 4 scholarly or professional resources.

Be sure to follow APA guidelines for style and format. In addition:

•Include a title page and reference page.

•Use Times New Roman font, 12 point.

•Double–space.

NRSG370: Nursing – Rehabilitation – Hypoglycemia – Case Study Assignment Help

Case Study :

Kath Jones, 62 years old, right below knee amputation

Kath is a 62 year old Indigenous Australian woman who has a history of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) secondary to Type II Diabetes which is controlled by diet and oral hypoglycaemic medication. Kath lives independently in her own home in a rural setting, works part time at the local news agent, is divorced and has two sons who are mine workers. Kath developed a large vascular ulcer on the medial aspect of her right calf following a fall, where she sustained a large graze and bruising, subsequently becoming infected and turning gangrenous over 6 months and which was unresponsive to treatment, resulting in a right below knee amputation which was performed electively in a regional hospital under spinal anaesthesia. Kath has had an uneventful post-operative period; has recovered well from the surgery and the amputated stump appears to be healing well. Kath is now 5 days post op and needs to be discharged to an inpatient rehabilitation facility to learn how to mobilise safely with a prosthesis as well as education to effectively manage her Type II diabetes, as she wishes to return to her independent lifestyle.

Medications:

Metformin 1g TDS.

Task :

The case study should be including the following:

Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2018) as a framework to plan and evaluate person-centred care

Consider the person’s situation – Collect, process and present related health information

Identify and prioritise three (3) nursing problems/issues based on the health assessment data that you have identified for the person at the centre of care.

Establish goals for priority of nursing care related to the nursing problem/issues identified

Discuss the nursing care of the person; link it to assessment data and history.

Evaluate your nursing care strategies to justify the nursing care provided

Reflect on the person’s outcomes

Be it a used or new solution, the quality of the work submitted by our assignment experts remains unhampered. You may continue to expect the same or even better quality with the used and new assignment solution files respectively. There’s one thing to be noticed that you could choose one between the two and acquire an HD either way. You could choose a new assignment solution file to get yourself an exclusive, plagiarism (with free Turnitin file), expert quality assignment or order an old solution file that was considered worthy of the highest distinction.

Discuss the nursing care of the person; link it to assessment data and history.

 Clinical Integration – Speciality Practice – Jhon Grey Mental Health Case Study Assignment 

NRSG370 – Clinical Integration – Speciality Practice – Jhon Grey Mental Health Case Study Assignment

Case Study:

John Gray, 28 years old, severe depression following suicide attempt

Mr. John Gray is a 28 year old single male admitted to the unit a week ago after an episode of intentional self-harm.  John is the son of a grazier from a farming community north of Brisbane who is expected to take over the family farm. The farm has been severely affected by the longstanding drought conditions in the district.

You are the nurse assigned to John’s care for the afternoon shift. On handover you were informed John did not get up for breakfast again, went to lunch reluctantly only because he was compelled to but ate almost nothing, and returned to his bed immediately afterwards.

Vital Signs:

Blood pressure 125/75

Temperature 36.3

Pulse 66

Respirations 18.

John has a rope burn mark on his neck caused by the breaking of the rope with which he attempted to hang himself and some bruising and broken skin on his arms and legs from the subsequent fall but no serious physical injuries. The areas of broken skin were covered with a non-adherent dressing and tape. The occupational therapist reported John was still choosing not to take part in any activities, including small group games or one-on-one activity.

When you go to introduce yourself to John, you find him lying on his bed with the covers pulled up high. He appears reluctant to engage in conversation with you. When you address him to introduce yourself, he grunts and turns over to face the wall away from you.

Medications:

Venlafaxine 75 mg bd

Multivitamin once daily

Vitamin B once daily daily

Students will complete a case study which discusses the provision of ethical, legal, evidence based, holistic person-centred care including the establishment of realistic and relevant goals through the theoretical examination of a particular nursing specialty case study using the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2013). Students must select and respond to the case study question that reflects

their allocated clinical placement specialty. If you have not been allocated a specialty placement, OR you are repeating this unit, please refer to your LEO campus announcements forum and the 3-hour lecture for instructions on how to proceed (you should not repeat the same case study question twice). Case study questions can be found on LEO.

There are a variety of case studies on LEO page under the case study tile

Choose the one that best reflects your specialty placement

BNBP students – must do ‘High Dependency’ Case Study

The Clinical Reasoning Cycle

Student are expected to use the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (Levett-Jones, 2018) as a framework to plan and evaluate person-centred care. You are being asked to think through the case scenario and then discuss how data was collected and the type of data collected, identify problems and nursing issues, identify and state the objectives and discuss how care was provided in order to address the issues and evaluate the interventions carried out: (analyse and identify a nursing issues/problems/needs, set objectives, discuss the nursing interventions and evaluate the interventions of care carried out). As per lecture notes, students are expected to apply the clinical reasoning cycle to address the case scenario:

Consider the person’s situation

Collect, process and present related health information

Identify and prioritise at least three (3) nursing problems/issues based on the health assessment data that you have identified for the person at the centre of care.

Establish goals for priority of nursing care related to the nursing problem/issues identified

Discuss the nursing care of the person; link it to assessment data and history.

Evaluate your nursing care strategies to justify the nursing care provided

Reflect on the person’s outcomes
