Adolescent pregnancy is viewed as a high-risk situation due to the serious health risks that this creates for the mother, the baby, and society at large. Describe various risk factors or precursors to adolescent pregnancy. Research community and state resources devoted in adolescent pregnancy and describe at least two of these resources. Research the teen pregnancy rates for the last 10 years for your state and community. Has this rate increased or decreased? Discuss possible reasons for an increase or decrease.

Overview/Description:

The final project for NSG6101 consists of the development of a novel research proposal specific to your role specialization. The project must include an intervention appropriate to nursing practice and consistent with your MSN role option. An alternative to the above includes the selection of a specialty organization to focus research proposals based on the priorities of that organization. Examples of these organizations could include (but are not limited to): Sigma Theta Tau International, American Nurses’ Foundation, Oncology Nursing Society, Association of Nurses in AIDS Care, American Psychiatric Nursing Association, American Association of Critical Care Nurses, National Association of Pediatric Nurse Associates and Practitioners, National League For Nursing, etc.

Throughout this course you have been developing various sections of the research proposal. This week you will assemble the final proposal (addressing faculty feedback). This paper is to be developed in APA format/style using the required template and not to exceed 8-10 pages (excluding title page/references/appendices).

                                     Business Plan Development

Elizabeth Jones, FNP-BC, has been an NP for 8 years. She has worked in the primary care setting, as well as the urgent care setting. She is considering relocating to a state that allows for unrestricted independent practice and opening her own primary care clinic. There are multiple benefits to owning an independent practice. However, owning a practice requires extensive knowledge and support. For an NP to establish independent practice, an appropriate plan must be developed. For this Assignment, you will

create a(1)  Business Plan for your potential future busines

.Write a 2 page paper Business Plan that addresses the following_(3) cost for establishing your own independent practice in your home state, including:

o  

o Clinical site expenses

o Employee structure and expenses Supplies

o Utilities and other overhead expenses

o Malpractice insurance

o Continuing education expenses

o Accounting fees

o Services identified that you will provide (e.g., primary care services, drug screens, DOT exams)

o Projected monthly income necessary to support your independent practice

Week 9: Professional and Business PracticNPs may establish Independent Practice in multiple states and districts. States are currently categorized as either allowing full practice, reduced practice, or restricted practice. Full practice states allow NPs to evaluate, order diagnostics, diagnose, and treat patients and are licensed under the exclusive authority of the State Board of Nursing for the appropriate state. Many states may require prescriptive authority protocols in addition to collaborative agreement. Change is constant in this arena as NPs’ status as providers improves on a national level.

This week students will review the current status of NP Practice throughout the United States. Additionally, students will explore independent practice as NPs and the associated responsibilities of being business owners, as well as health care providers.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this week, students will:

• Evaluate business structures
• Create a business plan
• Analyze costs associated with establishing independent practice

This case will focus specifically on endocrine and neural drug treatment.

Prompt: Consider the following scenario: Bill, age 70, came to the examination accompanied by his wife. Bill was tall and cheerful, greeted the doctor warmly, and then started walking around the room a bit until he realized he was supposed to sit down.

 As the physician asked Bill questions for the history, he answered some, and smiled at all of the questions. Bill’s wife, Cecilia, filled in the answers that Bill was not sure of. Both Bill and Cecilia seemed to be used to her supportive role in helping Bill remember things.

Bill had retired as an accountant two years earlier. In the period since retirement, Bill had reached the point that he could not balance his checkbook. Cecilia handled that task, as well as handling money and change while shopping. This change in Bill’s use of numbers was so sudden, she said, that she wondered if something could be done to help Bill.

Bill smiled at both Cecilia and the doctor, and shrugged his shoulders.

After doing a thorough physical exam, a psychometric evaluation, and a cranial MRI, the final diagnosis was Alzheimer’s disease.

The doctor ordered some medications specifically for this disease. An anticholinergic was prescribed to cure the disease. The physician also ordered vitamins B1, B6, B12, and E. Nutritional support, physical exercises, cognitive activities, safety precautions, and other suggestions were recommended.

 In a short paper, the following critical elements must be addressed:

● Identify the incorrect medication/drug classification/treatment and explain why it is incorrect.

● What drug classification would you use instead? Why?

● Provide an example of a generic medication from each drug classification. How would each of the medications/treatments in the scenario act on the patient’s body?
