Discussion: Respiratory Alterations

In clinical settings, patients often present with various respiratory symptoms such as congestion, coughing, and wheezing. While identifying a symptom’s underlying illness can be challenging, it is essential because even basic symptoms such as persistent coughing can be a sign of a more severe disorder. Advanced practice nurses must be able to differentiate between moderate and severe respiratory disorders, as well as properly diagnose and prescribe treatment for their patients. For this reason, you must have an understanding of the pathophysiology of respiratory disorders.

Consider the following three scenarios:

Scenario 1:

Scenario 2: Writing will base on Scenario 2

Kevin is a 6-year-old boy who is brought in for evaluation by his parents. The parents are concerned that he has a really deep cough that he just can’t seem to get over. The history reveals that he was in his usual state of good health until approximately 1 week ago when he developed a profound cough. His parents say that it is deep and sounds like he is barking. He coughs so hard that sometimes he actually vomits. The cough is productive for mucus, but there is no blood in it. Kevin has had a low-grade temperature but nothing really high. His parents do not have a thermometer and don’t know for sure how high it got. His past medical history is negative. He has never had childhood asthma or RSV. His mother says that they moved around a lot in his first 2 years and she is not sure that his immunizations are up to date. She does not have a current vaccination record.

Scenario 3:

To Prepare

· Review the three scenarios, as well as Chapter 27 and Chapter 28 in the Huether and McCance text.

· Select one of the scenarios and consider the respiratory disorder and underlying alteration associated with the type of cough described.

· Identify the pathophysiology of the alteration that you associated with the cough.

· Select two of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors you selected might impact the disorder.

Write 2 pages (APA format, double space)

· A description of the disorder and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the type of cough in your selected scenario. 

· Then, explain the pathophysiology of the respiratory alteration. 

· Finally, explain how the factors you selected might impact the disorder.

The final submission is basically the combination of the other four phases into one paper. This paper will need to be corrected with all of the feedback provided from previous papers. Include on this paper a conclusion and learning experiences from the essentials and from the class. 

Phase 1-Planning (Due by WEEK 4):

Phase 1 is the planning stage of a research project; students are to prepare a 4-5 page paper identifying a specific topic that you would like to investigates and relates to transitional nursing. You will provide a brief introduction to the situation by utilizing published nursing research articles to support your statement. This paper will also include 

1- Introduction to the Problem

2- Clearly Identify the Problem

3- Significance of the problem to Nursing

4- Purpose of the research

5- Research questions

6- Master’s Essentials that aligned with your topic

Phase 2-Design (Due by WEEK 6)

Students will continue their research topic, in this paper students will perform a brief literature review on the topic (Will need at least 5 support articles) and provide the desired methodology for the project. Paper will be approximately 5-6 pages. 

1- Brief literature review

2- Methodology and design of the study (Be as detailed as possible)

3- Sampling methodology

4- Necessary tools

5- Any algorithms or flow maps created

Phase 3-Implementation (Due by WEEK 9)

Phase 3 of the research project is the implementation phase. The implementation phase will be written in the future state as we will not be implementing the actual project. This phase focuses on providing steps by steps instructions on how the program will be implemented, a table describing the time frame of the project, if there is any budget that needs to be taking into account, and any resources or statistically tools required. The length of this paper should be around 5-6 pages.

Phase 4-Results (Due by WEEK 11)

Phase 4 is all about results, this part of the paper will be based on the hypothetical analysis. Meaning since we will not be actually implementing the process, the results described will be based on whatever the students would like the research results to be. You will need to provide results for all of the statistical tools mentioned and provide descriptive data (demographics of the population, different descriptive data points, etc.). Make sure to also include research limitations to improve for future studies. Approximately 6 pages.

InstructionsYou are  currently working at NCLEX Memorial Hospital in the  Infectious Diseases Unit. Over the past few days, you have noticed an  increase in patients admitted with a particular infectious disease. You  believe that the ages of these patients play a critical role in the  method used to treat the patients. You decide to speak to your manager,  and together you work to use statistical analysis to look more closely  at the ages of these patients. You do some research and put together a spreadsheet of the data that contains the following information: Client number Infection disease status Age of the patient You are to put together a PowerPoint presentation that explains the  analysis of your findings which you will submit to your manager. The  presentation should contain all components of your  findings. For  review, the components of the report should include: Brief overview of the scenario and variables in the data set Discussion, calculation, and interpretation of the mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, and variance Discussion, construction, and interpretation of the 95% confidence interval Explanation of the full hypothesis test Conclusion The  calculations should be performed in your spreadsheet that you  will also submit  to your manager. You can find additional information  on what to add to your PowerPoint  presentation in this Word document. Use the  questions in the worksheet as your guide for the contents of your presentation. For your final deliverable, submit your PowerPoint presentation and  the Excel  workbook showing your work. Do NOT submit your Word document

Your best friend, Lindsey, and you are working together in the surgical ICU. Often you cover for her when she goes to lunch or on breaks. You notice that often her clients complain of being in pain, even though she has told you that she medicated them right before she left the unit. You also notice that she appears to be very jumpy and short-tempered and a bit disheveled when she comes to work. You are suspicious that she is using the medications that she says she is giving to her clients.

1. What should you do first?

2. What might be the consequences if you decide to do nothing?
