diagnostic tests

Lily is a 20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus during the past 2 weeks, Lily figured she shouldn’t take her 3-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic has treated a few cases similar to Lily’s. All the patients reported decreased appetite, headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn’t sound congested.

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 provided in the Week 5 resources. 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 STUDY 3: Drooping of 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.

 

To Prepare

  • By 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.

The Case Study Assignment

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 provided in the Week 5 resources. 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.

Overview

 

You are required to submit a scholarly paper in which you will identify, describe, research, and apply the concepts that underlie your personal philosophy for professional nursing practice.

 

This will help you identify your own values and beliefs about the established metaparadigms and metatheories of the discipline. It will also help you identify and articulate concepts relevant to your specific practice. This paper is intended to be an exercise in clarification and organization of your professional foundation. You are also required to provide a list of assumptions from personal nursing practice that illustrate the concepts and framework of your theory.

 

Your paper should follow a format that includes:

 

Nursing Autobiography: A brief (1 page) discussion of your background in nursing.

 

my background :   In regards to the professional field, I received my BSN degree in Habana Cuba in 1996 and received my RN license in the State of Florida on October 13, 2014. My nursing practice was as emergency care nursing and internal medicine unit at “Calixto Garcia Hospital”, Cuba for three years, where provide care for patients with life-threatening medical conditions and look after patients who have experienced invasive surgery, accidents and/or trauma. Careful assessment and monitoring of patient progress in order to watch for sudden or subtle changes in a patient’s medical condition that might require emergency intervention and heart monitoring as well as treatment adjustments.

 

Moreover,  I have been in the medical field in United State for more than 13 years working in Home Health Service and Rehabilitation Center in Miami. In my work experience I have been required to demonstrate many of the skills for the Family Nurse Practitioner. I have also undertaken leadership role during my career monitoring nursing students. I have done so successfully and have enjoyed this experience.

 

 

 

  • The Four Metaparadigms:Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on the basic four metaparadigms/concepts of patient, nurse, health, and environment.

 

  • Two Practice-Specific Concepts: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on at least two other concepts specific to your own practice.

 

  • List of Propositions: A numbered list of at least five propositions or assumption statements that clearly connect the concepts described.

 

Consider the following questions as you complete your various tasks related to this assignment.

 

1. How do I define and employ the four basic metaparadigms of nursing theory in my professional practice?
2. What are the major concepts I employ that are unique to my professional practice?
3. What philosophies and theories from the literature of nursing and other disciplines/domains are consistent with these concepts?
4. How are the concepts of transcultural nursing, the health promotion model, skill acquisition, role theory, and change theory specifically integrated into my philosophy and practice?
5. What research supports these theories and concepts?
6. How do I integrate role and change theory into my professional practice and how may these theories be applied to the organization in which I practice?

 

The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APAManual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 9 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately. References have to be peer review less than 5 years old

marketing goals 

/0 Comments/in /by

For this discussion, you will consider the relationship between physicians and health organizations and examine how this informs healthcare marketing. You will also consider the role of the patient and customer and the ways in which they shop—or don’t shop—for healthcare, and you will examine how a healthcare organization’s marketing goals can most effectively target these individuals. In addition, you will determine the ethical considerations that need to be addressed when developing a marketing strategy that includes patients and physicians among its target audience.

To begin, review the module resources. Then, consider the difference between a patient and a customer and the role of physicians and patients in healthcare marketing. In your initial post, address the following:

  1. What are some of the ways that people shop—or don’t shop—for healthcare and medical care, and how can a healthcare organization’s marketing goals most effectively target these customers? Consider the SMART goal framework to support your response.
  2. How can the relationship between physicians and health organizations (think of the complex power structure in hospitals) pose challenges to decision making in healthcare marketing?
  3. What do you think are the most important ethical considerations that a healthcare organization must address when developing a marketing strategy for its patients and its physicians? Consider the methods for ethical decision-making you studied in Module Three.

In responding to your classmates, do you agree or disagree with their conclusions? Why or why not? What considerations did they discuss that you perhaps had not thought of? What suggestions can you provide your peers to help them further develop their conclusions?
