Patient is a 24-year-old female administrative assistant who comes to the emergency department with a chief complaint of severe right-sided headache. She states that this is the sixth time in the last 2 months she has had this headache. She says the headaches last 2–3 days and have impacted her ability to concentrate at work. She complains of nausea and has vomited three times in the last 3 hours. She states, “the light hurts my eyes.” She rates her pain as a 10/10 at this time. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen ease her symptoms somewhat but do not totally relieve them. No other current complaints.

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:

• Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.
• Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
• How these processes interact to affect the patient.

Topic 2: Stigma Associated with Disease

Some vulnerable populations may have diseases, health impairments, and pregnancy that bring humiliation and predisposed judgment. Unfortunately, these health conditions can cause vulnerable populations to become ostracized by the general public.

• What ways would you choose to function as an advocate for vulnerable populations?
• Discuss the types of assistance you might provide to each of the following clients from a vulnerable population:
  • A 24-year-old pregnant woman who is currently homeless and unmarried
  • A 16-year-old girl who has run away from her foster home and who has an IV drug habit
  • An immigrant worker whose TB skin test just came back positive
  • An employed, married man who contracted Hepatitis B through a blood transfusion 30 years ago

Instructions

Course Project—Part 1

In a Microsoft Word document of 5-6 pages formatted in APA style, develop
the introduction for your project. Develop three lesson plans as part of an instructional unit on a subject of your choice focusing on one disease. The project will contain one lesson plan focused on education of a patient, one on family education, and one on staff development. The plans should demonstrate a logical approach to teaching, communicate what is to be taught and how, and outline how objectives are to be evaluated. Give a description of your educational setting for each learner. Please make sure that you have evidence-based research (i.e., journal articles) as well.

Be sure to focus on one (1) disease but three (3) audiences (patient, family and staff development/novice nurse). 

The introduction should:

·  Contain the title of the lesson.

·  Identify and describe the learners.

·  Describe the educational setting:

• Staff development
• Patient education
• Family education

·  Include learner assessments:

• Educational level
• Developmental level
• Readiness to learn, and so forth.

·  Provide a purpose and rationale for selecting the topic/disease.

·  Describe the philosophical or theoretical basis for teaching approaches used in the lesson.

·  Support criteria with relevant examples and journal articles.

Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper. 

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the  University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the  University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

Week 8–REPLY TO THIS:ONE PAGE ONE   REFERENCE//////

COLLAPSE

    Registered nurses and Advanced practice nurses, play a huge roll when it comes to health care and policy changes. One of the

ways RNs and APRNS make head way, is by being a part of the American Nurses Association (ANA), or something similar. Being a

part of a bigger organization would give them more of advantage and a louder voice. Additionally, health care organizations are in

the favor of the nurse, so a push for policy changes, would make it easier in their favor. Another way nurses make an impact, is by

expressing their beliefs, at their workplace. Being a nurse, makes you already a great role model. But being a nurse and good one,

now thats tough to find. A good nurse knows who her place, and looks out for others and does not think about themselves. Making

them leaders and giants in their industry. With this, they can push for change and help with hospital programs in their workplace if

needed. Like helping to develop fall programs for patients, or creating a charge nurse committee for the units. 

    Now with these advantages, comes greater obstacles. One of the issues, would be to try and get accepted into a health care

organization. Whether it be membership fees, issues with your nursing license in the past, or the simple fact of getting chosen.

Sometimes trying to become a member is not a very task and it becomes a complex process. Another issue, would be having your

voice heard and having it fall on deaf ears, at the work place. For example, what is the point of fighting for your unit, when the staff

it self, only looks out for themselves and it does not make you feel like you are part of a team. Then, having bad management who

only care about the unit numbers and the unit budget. Making you feel like no matter how hard you try, you can always be

replaced. 

    In order to overcome these challenges, like any good relationship, their has to be trust and above all, communication. Voicing

your opinion on items or procedures you do not agree with. If you are not heard by your own manager, then take it to the next

level. You did not work this hard to achieve this nursing license, to risk it for a policy or a procedure that you believe is not ethical.

With it, more training for veteran and future nurses, should be implemented. To be given the opportunity to be aware of new

changes or medications, that will affect their place of work. Additionally, having great leadership and courage to speak up for the

unit staff and the safety of patients.
