Use the practice problem and a quantitative, peer-reviewed research article you identified in the Topic 1 assignment to complete this assignment.

In a 1000-1,250 word essay, summarize the study, explain the ways in which the findings might be used in nursing practice, and address ethical considerations associated with the conduct of the study.

Refer to the resource “Research Critique Guidelines” hypertension for suggested headings and content for your paper.

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.

1. Discuss how an uncontrolled diabetes mellitus can affect vision and lead to blindness

2. Discuss how hearing aids work to correct hearing deficiencies.

3. Discuss the auditory (eustachian) tube and its normal role in pressure equalization.

4. Discuss some of the more common conditions leading to vertigo (dizziness), such as Ménière’s syndrome, otitis media, motion sickness, and diplopia.

5. Clearly differentiate between static equilibrium and dynamic equilibrium.

6. Discuss  how the Rinne test and Weber’s test using tuning forks can be used to determine localization of hearing loss.

7. Describe a scent that triggers a specific memory, such as the smell of newly baked bread or a certain perfume. Note the connection between the olfactory senses and long-term memory.

8. Discuss where the taste buds are located on the tongue.

9. Correlate taste sensations with their chemical counterparts , i.e.  sweet is, of course, sugar detection.

Leaders are exposed to many different sources of ethics education and training. For instance, MBA and other academic programs often have a specific course or learning outcome devoted to ethical practice, organizations often require ethics training for all employees, especially leaders, and there are numerous ethical guidelines that exist that can help leaders avoid ethical violations. However, some leaders continue to commit ethical violations, which raises questions about the root causes of such behavior. As observed with Enron’s corporate leadership, known for one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in American history due to deceptive financial practices, the repercussions for unethical leadership may be irreparable

COMMENT1

Heart failure is a clinical syndrome caused by structural and functional defects in the myocardium which results in the impaired ventricular filling and the ejection of blood (Inamdar &Inamdar,2016). Based on the functional status of the heart, heart failure can be classified as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). 

Based on the cardiac output, HF can also be classified as a high-output failure and low-output failure (Inamdar &Inamdar,2016). High-output failure can be caused by anemia, vascular shunting, hyperthyroidism and vitamin B1 deficiency. Low-output heart failure is characterized by insufficient forward cardiac output and is much more common than the high-output heart failure. Mrs. J has clinical symptoms of biventricular heart failure which is characterized by poor cardiac output-forward failure, and congestion of the blood behind the pumping chamber-backward failure (Copstead-Kirkhorn,& Banasik, 2014). 

COMMENT2

The patient is very anxious at this time based on the kind of questions that she is asking, and her oxygen saturation level at 82% is increasing the workload of the heart. Supplemental oxygen therapy should be started to compensate by decreasing the heart’s workload, increase oxygen delivery to the body tissues to prevent serious damage to the brain and other vital organs. Patient need to be reassured that the medical team is making every effort necessary to take care of her symptoms. This first interventions will help reduce her anxiety and get her mind focused on getting better. This should be followed with continuous monitoring of her vital signs, paying close attention to ECG readings, heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure,  intake and output, further lab works and results as ordered and following other prescribed therapies as ordered. (Amakali, 2015).

The patient’s smoking issue need to be addressed as well starting from admission. Patient admits to smoking 40 cigarettes a day. She need to know that she may not be allowed to smoke while admitted in the hospital.Tthe doctor may order alternative to smoking such as nicotine patch to provide some support for the patient and start the process of smoking cessation.The dangerous effects of her smoking would need to be explained to her through a comprehensive teaching program prepared while in the hospital and prior to discharge.

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project. Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide,
