Your written assignment for this module should be a 2-3 page paper (not including title page and reference page) that describes the following:

J.D. is a 70-year-old man with a history of prostate cancer, being treated with palliative hormones and radiation. His admitting diagnosis is adenocarcinoma of the prostate with widespread bone metastasis. J.D. is married and has one grown daughter, who often helps with his care. His chief concern is severe back pain for which the physician has ordered intrathecal morphine sulfate and aspirin 650 mg for pain relief. J.D.’s admitting CBC shows a WBC count of 500 and platelet count of 15,000.

For this case study:

1. List the symptoms typically seen in patients with prostate cancer.
2. Identify the risk factors for prostate cancer, including which population is most at risk.
3. Identify the complications J.D. is at risk for and explain the pathophysiology causing those risks.
4. List 3 nursing problems and your goals for J.D.
5. List at least 3 nursing interventions for each problem.

You should include a minimum of 3 references. Include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page in APA format.

Continuing with the same cultural group and health issue for the  Session Long Project that you began in Module 1, write a paper to  address the following:

Describe the Relationships and Expectations of the group you  chose. Specifically address how each of the PEN-3 model’s three factors  within the dimension of Relationships and Expectations applies to your  group and provide examples.

Use subheadings to clearly show that you have addressed each of the  three factors. Support your discussion with references from scholarly  and professional references (not just your opinion).

Length: 2-3 pages (excluding the cover page and the reference list).

Can you provide an example of a medication that has action on the G-protein receptor and an example of a medication that acts on an ion gated channel?

How does the mechanism of action of each of the drugs you pick above impact the approved indication of the medication and how the PMHNP would utilize that medication in clinical practice?

the use of scholarly sources to support ideas demonstrates synthesis and understanding of learning objectives

Pre-work Activity – Your Educational Story

In order to understand the kinds of learning opportunities you had or didn’t have, and how they have affected your journey, you first need to compose your story.

It is important to understand the learning opportunities you have had in the past and have now. Many times you may have missed out on opportunities because you did not have the resources you needed or were not aware of your own strengths. Teachers, parents, friends, or fellow students may have helped you along the way. They, too, are important parts of your educational journey. Writing your educational story will help you identify the learning opportunities you had or did not have and how they have affected your journey.

It may be helpful to think about the following points while writing your educational story:

• Learning opportunities in the past and present
• Educational challenges you have faced
• How you overcame the educational challenges
• Who helped you overcome the educational challenges
• Missed opportunities, if any

Instructions:

Write your educational story (suggested length of 1–2 pages), in which you do the following:

• Reflect on the educational challenges you have faced in your learning opportunities.
• Discuss what you did or plan to do in order to overcome those challenges.

Using the directional terms in the table from your textbook, describe how you, or someone close by you, is sitting or standing. Include at least 5 of the terms describing body positioning and movement. Then describe the opposite (for example, if you said your foot was plantar flexed, use dorsiflexed) for all of the terms you used, and make a guess whether you would be comfortable in that position.

Your response should be posted to the Discussion Area below. By the end of the week, begin commenting on at least 2 of your peers’ responses. Ask questions, further the discussion of the topic, reinforce a response, or add another dimension to the discussion. Always use constructive language.

Part Two

Think of a few examples or do some research into examples where the prefix or suffix of a root word changes the meaning from one term to another. Why is it critical for medical professionals to understand and use prefixes and suffixes carefully?
