Case Study Topic: Select a type of cancer (breast, lung, prostate, or colon cancer, melanoma, or any type of leukemia) and discuss the relationship of the disease process to the immune system. Identify current evidence-based treatment modalities for the selected cancer and discuss how the treatment impacts the disease process. Conduct an evidence-based literature search to identify the most recent standards of care/treatment modalities from peer-reviewed articles and professional association guidelines (www.guideline.gov). These articles and guidelines can be referenced, but not directly copied into the clinical case presentation. Cite a minimum of three resources. Include the following in your clinical case presentation:

1. A discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease, including signs and symptoms
2. An explanation of diagnostic testing and rationales for each
3. A review of different evidence-based treatment modalities for the disorder obtained from guideline.gov or a professional organization such as thyroid (American Thyroid Association), OB-GYN (ACOG), urology (AUA), etc.

Next, address the following questions:

1. How does the information in this case inform the practice of a master’s prepared nurse?
2. How should the master’s prepared nurse use this information to design a patient education session for someone with this condition?
3. What was the most important information presented in this case?
4. What was the most confusing or challenging information presented in this case?
5. Discuss a patient safety issue that can be addressed for a patient with the condition presented in this case.

The use of medical terminology and appropriate graduate level writing is expected. Your paper should be 3–4 pages (excluding cover page and reference page). Your resources must include research articles as well as reference to non-research evidence-based guidelines. ( No more than 3 years published) Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your source(s) should be integrated into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources. Cite a minimum of three resources.

Question 1: Art of the Americas This week, we studied a vast array of cultural objects produced in North, South, and Central America prior to 1492. Select one object from each of the following cultures: Aztec, Inca, and North (Native) American. First, identify each object, including its name, date, medium, and location/geographical region of origin. Then, in a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs, address the following questions for each object:

1. What are the unique and specific visual characteristics of the object? How are these visual characteristics typical of the time and place in which the object was created?
2. How does meaning or function of the object reflect the culture in which it was produced?

Question 2: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism Beginning in the 19th century, artistic movements carry the suffix “-ism” to their name. Originally derived from Ancient Greek, “-isms” is appended to a word that then reflects a philosophical concept. In the case of art, it comes to mean the philosophy or approach to art that binds a group of artists together. Select one representative example from each of the following “-isms” studied this week: Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism. In 3 well-developed paragraphs, discuss:

1. What is the philosophy or approach to art that is defined by the –ism.
2. What are the specific visual characteristics of your example that are representative of the overall style of the –ism?
3. How does the specific subject of your selected work reflect the philosophy of the –ism?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific works of art that you have read about this week, talking about how they illustrate and support your ideas.]]>
