In order to write a case study paper, you must carefully address a number of sections in a specific order with specific information contained in each. The guideline below outlines each of those sections.

Section

Information to Include

Introduction (one Subheading) (patient and problem)

• Explain who the patient is (Age, gender, etc.)
• Explain what the problem is (What were they diagnosed with, or what happened?)
• Introduce your main argument (What should you as a nurse focus on or do?)

Pathophysiology (Next Subheading)

• Explain the disease (What are the symptoms? What causes it?)

History(Third Subheading)

• Explain what health problems the patient has (Have they been diagnosed with other diseases?)
• Detail any and all previous treatments (Have they had any prior surgeries or are they on medication?)

Nursing Physical Assessment ( Fourth Subheading)

• List all the patient’s health stats in sentences with specific numbers/levels (Blood pressure, bowel sounds, ambulation, etc.)

Related Treatments(Fifth Subheading)

• Explain what treatments the patient is receiving because of their disease

Nursing Diagnosis & Patient Goal(sixth subheading)

• Explain what your nursing diagnosis is (What is the main problem for this patient? What need to be addressed?)
• Explain what your goal is for helping the patient recover (What do you want to change for the patient?)

 Nursing Interventions(seventh subheading)

• Explain how you will accomplish your nursing goals, and support this with citations (Reference the literature)

 Evaluation( 8th subheading)

• Explain how effective the nursing intervention was (What happened after your nursing intervention? Did the patient get better?)

 Recommendations/ Conclusion(last Subheading)

• Explain what the patient or nurse should do in the future to continue recovery/improvement

Your paper should be 3-4 pages in length and will be graded on how well you complete each of the above sections. You will also be graded on your use of APA Style 7th Edition paper and on your application of nursing journals into the treatments and interventions. For integrating nursing journals, remember the following: 

• Make sure to integrate citations into all of your paper
• Support all claims of what the disease is, why it occurs and how to treat it with references to the literature on this disease
• Always use citations for information that you learned from a book or article; if you do not cite it, you are telling your reader that YOU discovered that information (how to treat the disease, etc.)
• At least three scholarly sources on the disease of the case study. At least 3 pages long that is not including the title page and reference page. All subheadings must be in bold. Uploaded a preview of a 7th edition title page. Thanks

Module 09 Discussion – Effects of Ageism

Due to the increasing percentage of older adult clients in the U.S., it is imperative that healthcare providers assess and confront their own attitudes and perceptions toward older adults.

In your initial post, address the following:

1. Describe ageism and its impact on societal views of older adult clients.
2. Explain how ageism can influence the healthcare provisions of older adult clients.
3. As a healthcare provider, how can one best assess and confront attitudes, perceptions, behaviors, and biases toward older adults?

Respond to at least one of your peers who has different perspectives than your own.

in Week 1, you were asked to analyze the use of statistics in health care. Now that you have expanded your knowledge base, let’s reexamine that relationship. Have you thought of new ways in which statistics could be incorporated into the work you do? Are there ways in which you could improve processes or patient care using these techniques (related to statistics)? Give specific examples and suggestions.

Assignment: Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
• Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
• Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

• Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
• Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
• Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
• Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

In recent years, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been blamed for the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in the U.S. (Bray, Nielsen, & Poplin, 2004). It is present in many foods, including those we would expect to find it in, such as candy, to those unexpected, including salad dressing.

If your last name starts with the letters A-L you are assigned the “pro” side. If your last name starts with the letters M-Z, you are assigned the “con” side. The “pro” side will make a case that HFCS has contributed to the increased body weight of Americans. The “con” side will make a case that HFCS has not contributed to the increased body weight of Americans. Consider why Americans may or may not choose foods with HFCS, including cost, effect on nutritional status, and what other nutrients may be provided in foods that typically contain HFCS.
