underweight

/in /by

CASE STUDY: Severely underweight 12-year-old Hispanic girl with underweight parents who has been bullied in school just recently 

When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests and assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity and reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.

Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.

For this Assignment, you will consider the validity and reliability of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. You will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. You will explore how you could effectively gather information and encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children’s health and weight.

To Prepare

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider factors that impact the validity and reliability of various assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You also will review examples of pediatric patients and their families as it relates to BMI.
  • By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to one of the following Assignment options by your Instructor: Adult Assessment Tools or Diagnostic Tests (option 1), or Child Health Case (Option 2). Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignments from your Instructor.
  • Search the Walden Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?
  • Also, as you search the Walden library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.
  • If you are assigned Assignment Option 2 (Child), consider what health issues and risks may be relevant to the child in the health example.
    • Based on the risks you identified, consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this information in a sensitive fashion.
    • Consider how you could encourage parents or caregivers to be proactive toward the child’s health.

  • An explanation of the health issues and risks that are relevant to the child you were assigned.
  • Describe additional information you would need in order to further assess his or her weight-related health.

Grand Canyon University,

/in /by

Nursing has been seen by the public in many different ways depending on the timeframe (Grand Canyon University, 2018).From the time when nursing was performed by medicine men to current day, the public’s opinion has been swayed by cultural and media factors (Grand Canyon University, 2018).How many times have we seen movies where someone who is ill is being taken care of by a witch doctor or a nurse in a skimpy outfit?There are several factors that play into how the public perceives nurses and how they care for patients.

In some cultures, those who care for the ill are thought to have healing powers (Grand Canyon University, 2018).In a particular study it was shown that “the public sees nursing as combining knowledge, skill, and professionalism with caring” (Donelan, Buerhaus, DesRoches, Dittus, Dutwin, 2008, p. 149).There have been movies and magazines that have shown nurses as sex symbols and drug addicts (Grand Canyon University, 2018).There are also times when nurses are seen as heroes.Recently, I had a coworker on a transatlantic flight and the pilot asked if there were any medical personnel on board to assist in a situation.Two nurses were on board and were able to assess a passenger and recognize that there was a cardiac issue.They used the available equipment and were able to stabilize him until an emergency landing was made.News stories about nurses helping in emergency situations and crises can have a positive impact on the public’s perceptions (Donelan, et al., 2008, p. 150).

As nurses, we have the power to influence how the public views the nurse’s role today.This can be accomplished by educating our patients and their families in our day to day practice.A task-oriented nurse can go in a patient’s room and hang an IV and take vital signs without even saying a word to the patient or family.The family may have questions and concerns; however, if a nurse does not even make eye contact the perception of nursing may be negative.A nurse that makes eye contact with the patient and family, explains what they are doing, and in turn asks if they have any questions or concerns can help put the nursing profession in a positive light.The role nurses have is multi-faceted. We care for, nurture, educate, critically think, and advocate for our patients.This is how we can influence the public’s perception of nursing.

examine a national healthcare

/in /by

If you were to ask 10 people what they believe to be the most significant issue facing healthcare today, you might get 10 different answers. Escalating costs? Regulation? Technology disruption?

These and many other topics are worthy of discussion. Not surprisingly, much has been said in the research, within the profession, and in the news about these topics. Whether they are issues of finance, quality, workload, or outcomes, there is no shortage of changes to be addressed.

In this Discussion, you examine a national healthcare issue and consider how that issue may impact your work setting. You also analyze how your organization has responded to this issue.

  • Review the Resources and select one current national healthcare issue/stressor to focus on.
  • Reflect on the current national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and think about how this issue/stressor may be addressed in your work setting.

Post a description of the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for analysis, and explain how the healthcare issue/stressor may impact your work setting. Then, describe how your health system work setting has responded to the healthcare issue/stressor, including a description of what changes may have been implemented. Be specific and provide examples.
