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?

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?

Your written assignment for this module should be a 1-2 page paper (not including title page and reference page) that describes the following:

• Describe what a fluid and electrolyte imbalance is and how this is important to the function of the body?
• Pick a fluid or electrolyte imbalance and describe how the patient would present, in addition to the treatment (nursing and expected medical)?

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