Assignment : Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological.Imagine not being able to form new memories. This is the reality patients with anterograde amnesia face. Although this form of amnesia is rare, it can result from severe brain trauma. Anterograde amnesia demonstrates just how impactful brain disorders can be to a patient’s quality of living. Accurately assessing neurological symptoms is a complex process that involves the analysis of many factors.In this Case Study Assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.To PrepareBy Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style 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.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.Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template.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.CASE STUDYNeurological Cases for Week 9Case 1: Drooping of the face: A 33-year-old female comes to your clinic alarmed about sudden “drooping” on the right side of the face that began this morning. She complains of excessive tearing and drooling on her right side as well.THIS IS THE LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE BOOK:https://www.sendspace.com/file/wd7quhNOTE: Check the assignment for plagiarism

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a health care risk management program.Conduct research on approaches to risk management processes, policies, and concerns in your current or anticipated professional arena to find an example of a risk management plan. Look for a plan with sufficient content to be able to complete this assignment successfully. In a 950‐1000-word paper, provide an analysis of the risk management plan that includes the following:Summary of the type of risk management plan you selected (new employee, specific audience, community‐focused, etc.) and your rationale for selecting that example. Describe the health care organization to which the plan applies and the role risk management plays in that setting.Description of the standard administrative steps and processes in a typical health care organization’s risk management program compared to the administrative steps and processes you identify in your selected example plan. (Note: For standard risk management policies and procedures, look up the MIPPA-approved accrediting body that regulates the risk management standards in your chosen health care sector, and consider federal, state, and local statutes as well.)Analysis of the key agencies and organizations that regulate the administration of safe health care in your area of concentration and an evaluation of the roles each one plays in the risk management oversight process.Evaluation of your selected risk management plan’s compliance with the standards of its corresponding MIPPA-approved accrediting body relevant to privacy, health care worker safety, and patient safety.Proposed recommendations or changes you would implement in your risk management program example to enhance, improve, or secure the aforementioned compliance standards.In addition to your textbook, you are required to support your analysis with a minimum of three peer‐reviewed references.Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.To Prepare:Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry. Keep in mind that the clinical issue you identify for your research will stay the same for the entire course.Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.Review the results of your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.Reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.Part 1: Identifying Research MethodologiesAfter reading each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, use the Matrix Worksheet template to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed articles. Your analysis should include the following:The full citation of each peer-reviewed article in APA format.A brief (1-paragraph) statement explaining why you chose this peer-reviewed article and/or how it relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article.A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific.A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Week 3: Prioritization Discussion Case StudyReview the following Prioritization Principles videos:Prioritizationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRElSFt674M (Links to an external site.)Nursing Leadership – ABCDE Principle and Patient Prioritizationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTKT4Z1ae0 (Links to an external site.)Nursing Leadership – Efficient Nursing Practice & Delegationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI4HIZpScPQ (Links to an external site.)Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as it relates to PrioritizationIntroduction:Setting priorities is an essential and critical thinking skill.Priority setting is perhaps the most critical skill in good time management, because all actions we take have some type of relative importance.Management of a patient load depends heavily on setting priorities.Generally, the new nurse tends to focus on one problem at a time rather than seeing the whole picture and may have difficulty in priority setting.Through the assessment process, patients help the nurse define their needs, establish interventions, and implement the plan of care. This is where individualized priority-setting between patients and nurses occurs.By necessity some care needs will be delayed in preference to more pressing needs of other patients.Priorities will be influenced by the acuity of the patient’s condition and the acuity of all patient’s assigned to a nurseTime Management:Three Basic Steps in Time ManagementAllow time for planning and establish priorities.Complete the highest priority task whenever possible, and finish one task before beginning another.Reprioritize based on the remaining tasks and on new information that may have been received.Priority ranking of patients:First level patient problemThese are threats to a patient’s immediate survival or safety and demand immediate nursing intervention. ABC’s (airway, breathing, circulation).Second level patient problemConcerns such things as mental status change, acute pain, acute urinary elimination, untreated medical problems requiring immediate attention (diabetic needing insulin) abnormal pathology lab results, risks of infection, safety, or security.Third level patient problemThose that do not fit into the above two categories such as monitoring for medication side effects, lack of patient knowledge, longer patient longer-term problems with living activities, etc.No life-threatening problems existThe nurse used both professional judgment and the patient to set priorities and determine planning.This is a continually changing aspect of assessment of patients.Priority Setting Traps:“Whatever hits first”This trap occurs when an individual simply responds to things as they happen rather than thinking first and then acting. This is common to new nurses.“Path of least resistance”In this trap the individual makes the assumption that it is easier to do a task by himself or herself and fails to delegate appropriately.“Squeaky wheel”In this trap, the individual falls prey to those who are most vocal about their requests and then feels a need to respond to the time frame imposed by the ““squeaky wheel” rather than his or her own.“Default”The individual feels obligated to take on tasks that no one else has come forward to do.“Inspiration”In this trap, individuals wait until they become “inspired” to accomplish a task. Some tasks will never be inspiring, and the wise time manager recognizes that the only thing that will complete these tasks is hard work and appropriate attention to the matter.Managing time at work:Being overwhelmed by work and time constraints lead to increased errors, omission of important tasks, and general feelings of stress and ineffectiveness.Time management skills are learned although some people are better at it than others.Disorganization results from poor planning and prioritization.Simple suggestions for time management:Gather all the supplies and equipment that will be needed before starting an activity. Breaking down a job mentally into parts before beginning the activity may help the nurse identify what supplies are needed.Group or “cluster” activities that are in the same location. If you have walked a long distance down a hallway, attempt to do several things there before going back to the nurses station. Another example is a home health nurse, group client visits geographically when possible to minimize travel time.Document your nursing interventions as soon as possible after an activity is completed. Waiting until the end of the workday to complete necessary documentation increases the risk of inaccuracies and incomplete documentation.Strive to end the workday on time. Although this is not always possible, delegating appropriately to others and making sure that the workload goal for any given day is reasonable are two strategies that will help accomplish this goal.Schedule difficult tasks during the period of the day you are most productive and simpler, more routine tasks during less productive times.Time wasters:ProcrastinationThe three most common reasons for procrastination are:Not wanting to beginNot knowing where to beginNot knowing where to begin, even if you wanted to do, which you don’t.Poor planningFailure to establish goals and objectivesInability to delegateInability to say noManagement by crisisHasteIndecisivenessCoping with short short-staffing:Prioritize you assignmentsOrganize your workloadBe a team playerMake a rule that no one can sit until everyone can sit. Pitch in and help others.Use unlicensed personnel wiselyEncourage family participationInform and involve nursing administrationCommunicate effectively and nicelyTake care of yourselfMaintain a positive attitudeAttitude is everything. If you go into a is challenging situation with a positive attitude you can achieve great results. A negative attitude can bring down the morale and performance of the entire team.Scenario:Assume that you are the Charge Nurse of a team with one LPN and one nursing assistant on the 7A-3P shift at an acute care hospital. The three of you are responsible for providing total care to 10 patients. Prioritize the following list of 10 things you need to accomplish this morning. Use a 1 for the first thing you will do and a 10 for the last.________Check MAR against the orders________Listen to night shift report from 0700-0720________Perform walking rounds to assess the night shift report and to introduce yourself to patients.________Hang four (4) 0900 IV medications________Set up the schedule for breaks and lunch among your team members________Give the 0845 pre-op on patient going to surgery at 0900________Pass the 0830 breakfast trays________Read the charts on new admissions that you are responsible for on the unit________Check 0600 blood glucose results for 0730 insulin administration________Consult with the interdisciplinary healthcare team to develop and/or revise patient plans of careNow, create an initial discussion posting that provides the rationale for how your prioritized your day in relation to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Your initial posting must be completed by Wednesday, 3/17/2021 by 11:59 pm.
