As you examine the patient case studies in this module’s Resources, consider how you might assess and treat patients presenting symptoms of neurological and musculoskeletal disorders.

· Review the interactive media piece assigned by your Instructor. 

· Reflect on the patient’s symptoms and aspects of the disorder presented in the interactive media piece.

· Consider how you might assess and treat patients presenting with the symptoms of the patient case study you were assigned.

· You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the diagnosis and treatment for this patient. Reflect on potential co-morbid physical as well as patient factors that might impact the patient’s diagnosis and treatment.

Write a  2-page summary paper that addresses the following:

· Briefly summarize the patient case study you were assigned, including each of the three decisions you took for the patient presented.

· Based on the decisions you recommended for the patient case study, explain whether you believe the decisions provided were supported by the evidence-based literature. Be specific and provide examples. Be sure to support your response with evidence and references from outside resources.

· What were you hoping to achieve with the decisions you recommended for the patient case study you were assigned? Support your response with evidence and references from outside resources.

· Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with each of the decisions and the results of the decision in the exercise. Describe whether they were different. Be specific and provide examples.

You will analyze the decisions you will make in the decision tree exercise and reflect on your experiences in proposing the recommended actions to address the health needs in the patient case study.

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

· Textbook: Chapter 3

· Lesson

· Minimum of 3 scholarly sources (in addition to the textbook)

Instructions
This week we explored the topics of self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation. Take some time to reflect on your own self-concept. Who are you? How do you define yourself? How do you feel about your abilities to be successful and accomplish your goals? What image of yourself do you currently, or do you wish to moving forward present to the world. Keep that introspective reflection in mind as you move through this assignment, considering how your own understanding of these ideas has evolved over the years to your present level of development.

Now, pretend that you have been asked to speak to a group of middle school students on the topic of bullying as it relates to self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation. Create a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

· Keeping in mind your audience of 12-14 year olds, define self-concept, self-esteem and self-presentation.

· Analyze and explain the possible causes of bullying in the context of these three concepts.

· Analyze and explain the impact of bullying (on the victim and aggressor) of these three concepts.

· Provide specific actions or behaviors kids in your audience can use to stop or respond positively when they see bullying, are bullied, or are tempted to bully.

As you complete your presentation, be sure to:

· Use speaker’s notes to expand upon the bullet point main ideas on your slides, making references to research and theory with citation.

· Proof your work

· Use visuals (pictures, video, narration, graphs, etc.) to compliment the text in your presentation and to reinforce your content.

· Do not just write a paper and copy chunks of it into each slide. Treat this as if you were going to give this presentation live to a group of middle school kids – be relevant, engaging, and focused.

Presentation Requirements (APA format)

· Length: 8-10 slides (not including title, introduction, and references slides)

· Font should not be smaller than size 16-point

· Parenthetical in-text citations included and formatted in APA style

· References slide (a minimum of 3 outside scholarly sources plus the textbook and/or the weekly lesson for each course outcome)

· Title and introduction slide required

In this assignment, students will pull together the change proposal   project components they have been working on throughout the course to   create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in   the course. At the conclusion of this project, the student will be   able to apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as   the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in   future practice.

Students will develop a 1,250-1,500 word paper that includes the   following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion,   initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:

1. Background
2. Problem statement
3. Purpose of the     change proposal
4. PICOT
5. Literature search strategy   employed
6. Evaluation of the literature
7. Applicable     change or nursing theory utilized
8. Proposed implementation     plan with outcome measures
9. Identification of potential     barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could     be overcome
10. Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys,     educational materials, etc. are created

Review the feedback from your instructor on the Topic 3 assignment,   PICOT Statement Paper, and Topic 6 assignment, Literature Review. Use   the feedback to make appropriate revisions to the portfolio components   before submitting.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA   Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to   beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for   successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Please refer   to the directions in the Student Success Center.

 

            

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their   research to the problem or issue they have identified for their   capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables   students to map out and move into the active planning and development   stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the   PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in   the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT   Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop   a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page
2. Introduction section
3. A comparison     of research questions
4. A comparison of sample   populations
5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further   research
