During diabetes education, Fatima indicates she is Muslim and that for Ramadan she fasts from sunrise to sundown.

Using Leininger’s Sunrise Model, analyze the dietary significance of fasting. Discuss the possible nursing interventions to accommodate Fatima’s religious practice.  How might Fatima respond if she was told that she couldn’t fast?

Your initial post must include a minimum of 300 words and include proper grammar, punctuation and reference(s). 

Research the mission and vision statements of three different types of organizations: a for-profit healthcare organization, a not-for-profit healthcare organization, and an organization outside of healthcare. As you examine the organizations’ mission and vision statements, consider the following:

1. ü How effectively do the mission statements articulate the organization’s purpose?
2. ü How effectively do the vision statements reflect future aims?
3. ü Do the mission and vision statements convey who (which groups) the organizations serve? Do they indicate obligations to various stakeholders?
4. ü Are the statements an appropriate length?
5. ü What do you glean about how leaders in healthcare and in other industries envision and convey mission and vision?
6. ü What do you discern about the interdisciplinary nature of crafting mission and vision statements by looking across organizations, including those outside of healthcare?
7. ü Identify key insights you have gained by comparing the mission and vision statements of these three organizations.
8. ü Consider how an organization’s mission and vision relate to the planning hierarchy. For each organization you have selected, think about how the mission and vision could or should influence planning. What elements of each mission and vision stand out as especially significant?

Communication in Project Management

Think about all of the stakeholders and colleagues that must be kept up to date on the status of your project. The recipient of your communication may be upstream (higher on the organizational chart), lateral (an equal organizationally), or downstream (i.e. end user) in relation to the project. A student in a prior CGE course compared communication in project management to the five rights of medication administration…we need to give:

• The right person
• The right information
• (via) the right route
• (at) the right time
• (in) the right dose

Identify two people, at two different levels (upstream, lateral, downstream) that you need to communicate with for your project and compare/contrast your communication with them based on each of the five rights of communication.

A 47-year-old overweight male with a history of atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus type 2, and coronary artery disease (CAD) is found by a neighbor unconscious and not breathing in his front lawn where he appears to have been mowing his lawn. He is rushed to a local emergency room where it is determined that he has suffered a massive inferior myocardial infarction. He is sent to the intensive care unit in critical condition where he is placed on advanced life support equipment, and several days later it is determined that he has minimal brain activity.

In your initial post answer the following question:

1. After hearing her husband’s condition, his tearful wife asks you how it is possible her husband’s brain might not function if it was his heart that stopped beating. How would you answer?
2. As the next of kin, his wife has the right to make husband’s medical decisions when he is unable to. Because the length of time that this patient was in cardiac arrest appears to have been substantial, the patient’s recovery is highly unlikely. The medical staff gently informs the wife that she has to make a decision regarding his health care: she can withdraw care now or choose to do everything to keep him alive, even though he will most likely die. She asks you what you think she should do. With your knowledge of neurophysiology, how would you answer her?
