1. After you have chosen the addiction/problem, you are to research SBIRT training specific to that problem/addiction. Before starting to work on the presentation, it is vital you understand how SBIRT is used with that particular addiction/problem. You must find at least two scholarly resources (other than readings assigned in the course) and one video resource. Search YouTube for one SBIRT training video from a reputable source that shows a provider using SBIRT with a patient. Watch this video so that you understand the steps of SBIRT.

 After completing the reading assignment and viewing the videos in this module, along with any other information you may have found, list three (3) items you will definitely put in your resume. Explain why you think these are important factors to share with your potential employer and will make you stand out from other applicants! Then, list at least two items you learned about that are definite “no-no’s” in building a resume and why you want to avoid using them. 

Respond on two different days who selected different disorders or factors than you, in one or more of the following ways:

Share insights on how the factor you selected impacts the pathophysiology of the disorder your colleague selected.

Offer alternative diagnoses and prescription of treatment options for the disorder your colleague selected.

Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.

Disorders of the Reproductive Systems

The reproductive system is essential to the continuation of the human race. Proper functioning is necessary for optimal physical and psychosocial well being. This post will explore two reproductive disorders, including similarities and differences and the impact of behavior on the conditions. Phimosis is a disorder of the male reproductive system that prevents retraction of the foreskin over the glans penis. It is a non-issue in males under the age of three, as the glans and foreskin are one under normal physiological conditions (Huether & McCance, 2017). After age three, the foreskin begins to separate from the glans penis naturally. Phimosis can happen at any age in uncircumcised males. It often occurs as a result of chronic infection, but treatment is unnecessary unless balanitis or posthitis occur. Common symptoms include tenderness, edema, erythema, or purulent discharge. If the condition is pathological, treatment includes circumcision or a preputioplasty which widens the hole for the glans to pass through properly preserving the foreskin (McPhee & McKay, 2019).Paraphimosis is a disorder of the male reproductive system where the foreskin becomes trapped behind the corona of the glans. This condition is considered a urologic emergency and requires rapid treatment. If left untreated, the glans becomes strangulated, leading to vascular compromise, edema, and necrosis (Bragg & Leslie, 2019). Paraphimosis often occurs when retracting the foreskin for cleaning, physical examination, or placement of a catheter. Common symptoms include erythema, swelling, and pain. Treatment for uncomplicated paraphimosis includes manual reduction using a small amount of lubricant and moderate pressure to advanced the foreskin back over the glans. Complicated paraphimosis requires analgesia and surgical incision to correct.

 Similarities and Differences

One similarity between the two disorders is the involvement of the foreskin. In one condition, the foreskin does not retract, and in the other, it does not return to cover the glans penis. One difference is that paraphimosis is most common in adolescents, while phimosis can happen at any age. Also, paraphimosis can occur in circumcised males too if there is enough skin present after a circumcision. 

Behavior

Cleanliness is essential in the prevention of phimosis. Regular hygiene prevents many cases of this condition. Self-inflicted injuries are a significant cause for paraphimosis. However, merely retracting the foreskin can trigger the problem

Professional Development Assignments: 

Based on what you have learned so far this week, create a educational presentation with detailed notes and recorded audio comments for all content slides that addresses each of the following points/questions. Be sure to completely answer all the questions. Use clear headings that allow your professor to know which bullet you are addressing on the slides in your presentation. Support your content with at least four (4) citations throughout your presentation. Make sure to reference the citations using the APA writing style for the presentation. Include a slide for your references at the end. Follow best practices for PowerPoint presentations (an example is located in the Resources tab) related to text size, color, images, effects, wordiness, and multimedia enhancements.  Use the audio recording feature with the PowerPoint. Alternatively, you may use a smartphone or tablet to record yourself speaking, should you be unable to use the audio feature within PowerPoint.

1. Title Slide (1 slide)
    
2. The various kinds of health professionals are educated in separate schools but with considerable overlap in curricula and training requirements. They are, however, expected to integrate their training and work together after graduation. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to professional education in terms of costs, educational efficiency, and patient care quality.(4 slides).
    
3. An oversupply of physicians in many urban regions contrasts with continuing problems of access in rural and inner-city areas. Why does the mal-distribution of physicians persist in spite of the number of physicians graduated? (2-3 slides)
    
4. The health care delivery system now places increased emphasis on maintaining wellness and on promoting disease avoidance through healthy behaviors and lifestyles. What challenges does this new orientation pose for our existing system of medical education and training? (2-3 slides)

provide a meaningful response to at least two of your peers’ posts by the end of the week. In your responses to your peers, you might offer a perceived roadblock to the individual’s ability to learn.

Peer # 1 Tamira Parker                          

1.An individual who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer has a need for information about the stage of the cancer, treatment options, and odds of survival. This individual could use a lot of support during this rough time.

2. A family caring for an elderly individual with AD needs to learn positive coping mechanisms to deal with the family member, taking a break when they feel exhausted, and support groups. Support groups can help the patient and or family to meet other people that are going through the same exact thing.

3. A community in which adolescent cigarette smoking is on the risk adolescents need to be educated on the risks associated with smoking such as lung cancer and heart disease. If guidelines permit refer the adolescent to counseling to see if there is a possibility that smoking is secondary to another issue. Also refer adolescent to cessation programs if guidelines permit, if not discuss with parent and decide what is in the best interest of the child.

Peer #2 Samantha Pearce                           

An individual who has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer. Start off by informing the patient of the different type of treatment. Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that works by boosting or activating your immune system, so it recognizes and kills cancer cells. Also, there are lots of active support groups for patients and family caregivers, so no one has to face a lung cancer diagnosis alone. Furthermore you would teach/inform the patient how to cope with these emotions by communicating with your friends and family members, expressing your thoughts in a journal and quitting smoking, eating right, staying physically active and managing your stress helps your body stay healthy.

A family caring for an elderly individual with Alzheimer’s disease. Teach the caregiver that they must understand how AD changes a person, learn how to cope with these changes. Make the home safe for the person with AD. Caregivers could also find out about helpful resources, such as websites.

A community in which adolescent cigarette smoking is on the rise. It is well known that tobacco use increases the risk for contracting a variety of diseases and health conditions, including lung, bladder, colorectal, esophageal, kidney, larynx, mouth, throat and other cancers, respiratory infections, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. A Campaign for an adolescent young girl is good to inform the public of these risks, combined with smoking legislation regulating the age of access and smoking in public places have led to a general decrease in smoking prevalence among all age groups.
