Teams are an integral part of the health care environment. Patient care requires that a group of health care providers work together to provide the highest quality care possible. The group usually consists of people with varying levels of education, authority, and experience. Smriti Chand, in an online article at Management states, “All teams are groups but not all groups are teams. Teams often are difficult to form because it takes time for members to learn how to work together. People in every workplace talk about building the team, working as a team, and my team, but few understand how to create the experience of team work or how to develop an effective team. Belonging to a team, in the broadest sense, is a result of feeling part of something larger than oneself. It has a lot to do with your understanding of the mission or objectives of your organization.”

Begin by reading Case Study #6 – “Leading a Team” (Joint Patient Liaison Office: Building a Streamlined Unit) [PDF File size, 4.36 MB] which includes questions at the end. In a 4-5 page APA formatted Word Document address the questions posed at the end of the case study.

A case study is meant to show your ability to apply course concepts to the given scenario. You are expected to use theories, vocabulary, and examples to answer the questions given in the case study. Your paper should be written in clear and concise language that shows your ability to comprehend course material and relate it to problems.

A case study is an APA formatted short report or essay on a particular topic. The nature and format of a case study can vary widely, depending on the topic. In this course, I want yours to be detailed, focused on organizational behavior.

Your paper must be 4-5 pages not including your cover or reference pages. Your case study should contain the following:

Title page
This should list the title of the article, which should include the study design, for example: “Leadership and Change” as well as your name, course name/number and date.
Introduction
This should not exceed 350 words and should contain a brief overview of the case study. The introduction should motivate and describe the issue being studied and summarize the main findings.
Case description
This should describe the case, including the role of the people and institutions involved and how the information was analyzed.
Discussion and Evaluation
This is the body of the case study where you would answer all the questions from the case study.
Conclusion
The conclusion should offer a brief recapitulation of the main points made in your case study.

 Review your state’s mandated reporter statute. Provide details about this in your post. If faced with a mandated reporter issue, what are the steps in reporting the issue? Create a mandated reporter scenario and post it. Respond to one of your peer’s scenarios using the guidelines for submission/reporting in your state. Be sure to include a reference to your state’s website related to mandated reporting. 

  

Neurologic System Patient Case

Subjective data

Mr. Green is a 52-years-old, visiting the office today.  He’s currently experiencing headaches and blurry vision. Mr. Green has a history of stroke and hypertension. He was previously admissions for blood transfusion, and history of surgeries. He is allergic to aspirin

Palliation– Mr. Green reports, wearing his glasses help him see better.

Quality- The pain is throbbing and pounding 

Region of the pain– Pain is located in his eye.

Severity-He describes the severity of (10/ 10)

Timing– present for the last few hours.

Understanding and impact– he reported unhappy due to the pain and blurred vision affect his daily living and life activities.

Objective data

The vital signs of Mr. Green include Temperature-36.8 C, HR- 88BPM, respiratory rate- 22BPM, and BP- 168/92 mmHg. The patient is alert but confused and oriented only to person and place and not oriented to time. He has a slurred speech.

Mr. Green, cranial nerves II and VII are impaired. Others cranial nerves are intact.

Upon examining his motor skills, Mr. Green’s muscle strength in the left arm is 2/ 5 while the left leg is 3/ 5. Sensory examination to assess the sensations, including temperature, vibration, pain, and proprioception are intact. 

Actual and potential risks. 

Mr. Green has blurred vision because the assessment findings indicate that the cranial nerve II (optic nerve) is impaired. The stroke might have affected the parts of the brain which control the optic nerve and therefore causing damage to the muscles. He also has hemiplegic headaches, which are throbbing, severe, and are accompanied by confusion.

Mr. Green is at risk of facial nerve paralysis because the assessment findings indicate that the cranial nerve VII (Facial nerve) is impaired, and the patient has left lower facial droop. It can affect the ability to blink a smile and difficulty in making various facial movements (Hinkle & Cheever, 2018). It can result when any part of the facial nerve muscles is either damaged or inflamed.

First, state whether blood pressure in Table 2A would be a continuous variable or a discrete variable. Explain. Then supposing that the number of women in each of groups (non-users and users) were identified, would the number of women in each category be a continuous variable or a discrete variable? Explain.

Part 2: Use any free online histogram maker* to draw histograms for the blood pressures of the users and nonusers ages 35–44. Discuss one conclusion that can be made about blood pressure and pill use. *Here are some free resources: 

http://www.zweigmedia.com/RealWorld/stats/histogram.html

Part 3: Based on what you’ve learned in this module about normal distributions, explain why a normal approximation of data would be helpful to view the data. For example, you could describe the steps that one would take to estimate the percentage of women with blood pressures in an age group.

Details:

In this assignment, you will be completing a comprehensive health screening and history on a young adult. To complete this assignment, do the following:

Select an adolescent or young adult client on whom to perform a health screening and history. Students who do not work in an acute setting may “practice” these skills with a patient, community member, neighbor, friend, colleague, or loved one.

Complete the “Health History and Screening of an Adolescent or Young Adult Client” worksheet.

Complete the assignment as outlined on the worksheet, including:

1. Biographical data
2. Past health history
3. Family history: Obstetrics history (if applicable) and well young adult behavioral health history screening
4. Review of systems
5. All components of the health history
6. Three nursing diagnoses for this client based on the health history and screening (one actual nursing diagnosis, one wellness nursing diagnosis, and one “risk for” nursing diagnosis)
7. Rationale for the choice of each nursing diagnosis.
8. A wellness plan for the adolescent/young adult client, using the three nursing diagnoses you have identified.
