Comment 1. On the other hand, when you consider a transitory event, such as in elections, this time is at most a few months. Instant gratification for results, in this case, is understandable, one other reason why it’s extremely important that we get our statistics right. In our country (as in most others), statistics is one way that is extensively used during election; no wonder we often find the general populace to have speedy repercussions                                                                                                        Comment2.n research, almost all stages require statistics in making it gain scientific importance and at the end have results, which are reliable. In research, in inappropriate statistical methods and techniques the cost of analyzing the data will be high and in most cases result in errors and results which are misleading. Even with proper planning with improper statistical concepts results lead to mistakes especially to those who use the research for studies. 

There are diverse kinds of illustrations to show the circulation and the inclination of the variable in detail. In any case, a large portion of the researchers does not know which realistic compose is appropriate for which kind of information and goal, so they plot the diagrams aimlessly, bringing about the wrong impression of the genuine idea of the information. Realistic portrayals can be deceiving, and substantial contrasts between bunches that accompany huge changeability will not be critical, no matter what they look like.

Question:

 

Isabella, a student nurse, has just started to work in a sexual health clinic part-time where there are a large number of clients who have genital herpes. The clients, both male and female range in age from 16 to 39 years, have varying levels of education and backgrounds.

a.            What features of sexually transmitted diseases would it be important for Isabella to review?

b.            Isabella states, “Why don’t these clients just stop having sex and then their conditions wouldn’t be as bad”? If you were another nurse in the clinic, how would you respond to Isabella’s comment?

Answer:

(a)

There is a wide range of features of sexually transmitted diseases that Isabella should review. Since sexually transmitted diseases at times go unnoticed, it is necessary to diagnose early to avoid complications. The presence of sores and bumps on the genital, oral and rectal areas is one feature that is common in STD’s specifically genital herpes. Another feature to look for is the presence of vaginal discharge that is often foul-smelling which is often a symptom of trichomoniasis. Unusual vaginal bleeding, pain during sex and discharge from the penis should also be checked as they all indicate the presence of an STD (Grossman & Porth, 2014).. Other features of STD that Isabella should review include fever, lower abdominal pain, sore, swollen lymph nodes and the presence of rash on the trunk, hands and feet.

(b)

In responding to Isabella about having sex and prevention of STDs, I would point out on other possible methods through which STDs maybe transmitted. Sexually transmitted diseases including genital herpes are spread through contact with body fluids including blood, semen and vaginal fluids. They are also spread through contact with infected mucous membrane and skin (Grossman & Porth, 2014). As such, sleeping and kissing with an infected person may result in infection with STDs. Isabela should therefore not judge that the patients contacted genital herpes after having sexual contact. Secondly, Isabela should understand that sex is an important psychological and physiological need for humans and a conjugal right for married partners. Sex is also necessary for reproduction. Instead, Isabela should focus on teaching clients on how to protect themselves when having sex if a partner is feared to have an STD rather than make it mandatory for all people to avoid sex.

DQ 1: Case Study, Chapter 1, Entry Into Practice: The Debate Rages On

The entry-into-practice debate in the United States continues to be one of the oldest and hottest professional issues nurses face as we enter the second decade of the 21st century. It appears that little progress has been made since 1965 in creating a consensus to raise the entry level into professional nursing practice, although experts do not agree even on that issue. Your neighbors ask you for information about considerations for selection of an appropriate nursing education program for their child.

1. Your neighbor is confused because both ADN and BSN schools preparing graduates for RN licensure meet similar criteria for state board approval and have roughly the same number of nursing coursework units. How would you summarize the arguments for changing or not changing the nursing entry level?

2. There is current evidence-based research that explores the impact of registered nurse educational level on patient outcomes. What does the current evidence-based research conclude about the impact of RN educational level on patient outcomes?

3. Achieving the BSN as the entry degree for professional nursing practice will take the best thinking of our nursing leaders. What will it require in order to successfully achieve the BSN as the entry degree for professional nursing practice?
