Advanced registered nursing graduates are entering the profession at dynamic time when roles and scope of practice are shifting based on developments in legislation and policy in response to the evolving needs of the health care system. Professional nursing organizations play an important role in making sure the perspectives of advanced registered nurses are heard, and in supporting nurse specialties in their efforts to expand their scope of practice and their full participation throughout the health care system.

For this assignment, you will conduct research on the current scope of practice for leadership (nurse leader) and efforts that are being made to expand that scope and the role of the advanced nurse in positively influencing the health care system. Write a 1,250-1,500-word paper that includes the following:

1. A discussion of the scope of your future role as an advanced registered nurse, including any regulatory, certification, or accreditation agencies that define that scope.
2. A discussion of three professional nursing organizations that you think are most influential in advancing the scope and influence of advanced nursing. Of these organizations, evaluate the one that you would most like to join. How do its goals and mission fit in with your worldview and philosophy of care? How might membership in this organization improve your practice?
3. A discussion of a controversial or evolving issue that is most likely to affect your scope of practice or role in the next few years. How do you think this issue could influence the profession and other stakeholders, and why does it matters to the advanced registered nurse?

You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

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.

In 2–3 pages (excluding cover and reference pages), list seven different types of ambulatory care settings and describe what they do (how they operate), why ambulatory care makes sense in today’s healthcare environment, and compare and contrast free-standing versus hospital-based settings. This paper should be written in narrative form in the proper APA format. Be sure to include an introduction and conclusion in your paper.

Assignment 1: Case Study Assignment: Assessing Neurological Symptoms

Imagine not being able to form new memories. This is the reality patients with anterograde amnesia face. Although this form of amnesia is rare, it can result from severe brain trauma. Anterograde amnesia demonstrates just how impactful brain disorders can be to a patient’s quality of living. Accurately assessing neurological symptoms is a complex process that involves the analysis of many factors.

In this Case Study Assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

To Prepare

• By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
• Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
• Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
• Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

The Case Study Assignment

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each. 

CASE STUDY : Forgetfulness

A 70-year-old female comes to your clinic with complaints of forgetfulness. She noticed it about a year ago and it has progressively gotten worse. She sometimes forgets what she is going to do when she gets to another room. Her family has noticed the problem with her forgetfulness but she is still able to manage her finances and drive, per her report.

In the introduction to the unit, you learned about the elements of a personal essay. Now,

you will write that essay. The experience you write about does not have to be

monumental. It just has to be significant to you. Your essay should be a true story, or

narrative, focusing on a place. Within that story, you will need to determine what

happened at this place, who were the important people there, what was said, and what

you learned.

Instructions:

• Create a personal essay about a specific place that is the most memorable for

you and where you had a positive experience. (Please be aware that if you share

information that is distressing, then your instructor is mandated to share that

information with our counseling center.)

• Consider the following questions when starting your essay:

o What is a specific place that is particularly memorable to you?

o What happened at this place that makes it so important to you?

A personal essay is a combination of the description of the action or plot, details about

the people/location of the essay, and reflection on what happened:

• Begin by describing the place. Try using each of the five senses to show the

reader what the place is like.

• Consider the best conversations you had at the place and include that dialogue

in your message.

• Finally, be sure to offer your thoughts on the experience and what you learned

from it.

Requirements:

• Please submit a Microsoft Word document or PDF.

ENG110 – College Writing

• The assignment should be two to three pages in length and should include the

following:

o An APA-style title page (see Unit 1 documents for a sample)

o 1–2 pages for the full essay content

o Double-space the assignment and use 1-inch margins.

o You should use an APA-recommended font; 12 Times New Roman font is

suggested (see Unit 1 documents under the Title page for a list of other

acceptable fonts).

• You need an introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion for this essay.

o The introduction should set up what specifically the reader needs to know

before you get into the main action of the essay. You can also include a

thesis, or a controlling idea statement, that lets the reader know your

purpose for writing the essay.

o Your body paragraphs should focus on one specific part of the experience

each. Please do not try to include too much information in each

paragraph.

o Finally, the conclusion will wrap up the essay and show how the action in

the essay was resolved.

• Your writing should be free of punctuation, spelling, and grammar errors and

should contain appropriate word choice for an academic setting with a clear

sentence structure.

• Utilize the senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell) to help you tell the story. 

 You will perform a history of a nose, mouth, throat, or neck problem that your instructor has provided you or one that you have experienced, and you will perform an assessment including nose, mouth, throat, and neck. You will document your subjective and objective findings, identify actual or potential risks, and submit this in a Word document to the drop box provided.
