NR 305 WEEK 1 DISCUSSION LATEST 2016 NOVEMBER HEALTHY PEOPLE INITIATIVE (GRADED)
The topic this week asks you to apply what you have learned to the following case study. As the school nurse working in a college health clinic, you see many opportunities to promote health. Maria is a 40-year-old Hispanic who is in her second year of nursing school. She complains of a 14-pound weight gain since starting school and is afraid of what this will do to both her appearance and health if the trend continues. After conducting her history, you learn that she is an excellent cook and she and her family love to eat foods that reflect their Hispanic heritage. She is married with two school-age children. She attends class a total of 15 hours per week, plus she must be present for 12 hours of labs and clinical. She maintains the household essentially by herself and does all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and chauffeuring of the children. She states that she is lucky to get 6 hours of sleep per night, but that is okay with her. She lives 1 hour from campus and commutes each day. Using Healthy People 2020 and your text as a guide, answer the following questions. What additional information would you like to gather from Maria? What are Maria’s real and potential health risks? Why is Maria’s culture important when obtaining the health assessment? Pick one of Maria’s health risks. What would be one reasonable short-term goal for this risk? What nursing interventions would you incorporate into Maria’s plan of care to assist her with meeting your chosen goal? Please provide rationale for your selections..

NR 305 WEEK 3 DISCUSSION LATEST 2016 NOVEMBER ASSESSMENT OF THE NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM (GRADED)
Randy Adams is a 38-year-old male patient of Dr. Joseph Reynolds who was admitted yesterday morning for 24-hour observation for mild concussion following a motor vehicle accident. Randy lost consciousness during the accident and was very confused when he arrived in the ER after EMS transport. He is an Iraq war veteran and he seemed to think after the accident that this all happened in Iraq. Dr. Reynolds is concerned that Randy has some residual problems from a couple of explosive incidents that occurred while he was in Iraq. The physician is unsure whether Randy’s current symptoms are from the car accident or from prior injuries so he has referred him for consultations to both a neurologist and to a behavioral health specialist. Based on the above please discuss the following. Pathophysiology of concussive injuries and treatment Neurological assessment tools used in your current practice setting (if not presently working, please describe one used during prior employment or schooling) Current best practices associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Nursing interventions you would include in this patient’s plan of care
NR 305 WEEK 4 DISCUSSION LATEST 2016 NOVEMBER ASSESSMENT OF CARDIAC STATUS (GRADED)
Esther Jackson is a 56-year-old black female who is 1-day post-op following a left radical mastectomy. During morning rounds, the off-going nurse shares with you during bedside report that the patient has been experiencing increased discomfort in her back throughout the night and has required frequent help with repositioning. She states that the patient was medicated for pain approximately 2 hours ago but is voicing little relief and states that you might want to mention that to the doctor when he rounds later this morning. With the patient appearing to be in no visible distress, you proceed on to the next patient’s room for report. Approximately 1 hour later, you return to Ms. Jackson’s room with her morning pills and find her slumped over the bedside stand in tears. The patient states, “I don’t know what is wrong, I don’t feel right. My back hurts and I’m just so tired. What is wrong with me?” The patient refuses to take her medications at this time stating that she is starting to feel sick to her stomach. Just then the nursing assistant comes into the patient’s room to record Ms. Jackson’s vital signs, you take this opportunity to quickly research the patient’s medication record to determine if she has a medication ordered for nausea. Upon return, the nursing assistant hands you the following vital signs: T 37, R 18, and BP 132/54, but states she couldn’t get the patient’s pulse because “it is all over the place.” Please address the following questions related to the scenario. What do you suspect is the cause of the patient’s symptoms? Describe the course of action that you will take to confirm this suspicion and prevent further decline. What further assessments, lab values, and tests will likely be ordered for this patient and how often? If testing is to be completed more than once, please explain the rationale for doing so. While you are caring for this patient, how will you ensure that the needs of your other patients are being met?
NR 305 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION LATEST 2016 NOVEMBER ASSESSMENT OF RESPIRATORY STATUS (GRADED)
Please review the video on the assignments page under the discussion section as it will provide you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in the role of a nurse addressing tobacco use during routine patient care. In doing so, reflect on what you have learned about tobacco use and the role that nurses and other interdisciplinary team members play in helping to assist tobacco users with quitting. While viewing, it is also important to keep in mind that tobacco users move through stages of change in the process of quitting. They move from pre-contemplation to contemplation, contemplation to preparation; preparation to abstinence; abstinence to maintenance. Every stage requires a different strategy by a nurse. After watching the video, and reflecting on the information presented, address each of the following questions. What are the common symptoms associated with an exacerbation of COPD? What assessment techniques will you use to assess Mary? Identify smoking strategies that would be appropriate for each of the encounters that Mary had with the nurse throughout the video that could have been used to assist Mary in quitting smoking. Find a resource in your community that could assist Mary. Start by searching the Internet for your local health department’s website. What services are available to Mary? Briefly describe the services that the state quit line provides. Does it meet the 4 As? Is it accessible, acceptable, affordable, or available for Mary? What will you do to follow-up on Mary’s smoking cessation process?

Please provide rationale for choosing this order. Are there any cultural beliefs/practices that must be taken into consideration when planning her care? Considering her symptoms of abdominal pain and bleeding, is it possible that her status as a homeless refugee is a causative or contributing factor to her illness? Please provide rationale for your response.
NR 305 Week 7 Discussion Latest 2016 November Assessment of the Musculoskeletal System and Pain (Graded)
Fred is an 83-year-old male who is being admitted to the medical-surgical unit status post fall.

CO #3: Utilize effective communication when performing a health assessment. (PO #3) CO #5: Explore the professional responsibilities involved in conducting a comprehensive health assessment and providing appropriate documentation. (PO #6) POINTS This assignment is worth a total of 150 points. DUE DATE TheFamily Genetic History Assignmentis to be submitted at the end of Week 2.There is a MS Word document form in Doc Sharing that you need to download, fill in, and submit to the Family Genetic History Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 2. Post questions to the weekly Q&A Forum. Contact your instructor if you need additional assistance. See the Course Policies regarding late assignments. Failure to submit your paper to the Dropbox on time may result in a deduction of points. DISCLAIMER When taking a family genetic history on an actual client, it is essential that the information is accurate. Please inform the person you are interviewing that they do not need to disclose information that they wish to keep confidential. If the adult participant decides not to share information, please write, “Does not want to disclose.”If the client fails to disclose answers to several items, you will need to find another client who is willing to share.
