Case study

Ann, a community nurse, made an afternoon home visit with Susan and her father. After the death of her mother, Susan had growing concerns about her father living alone. “I worry about my father all the time. He is becoming more forgetful and he has trouble seeing. Mom used to take care of him. I am not sleeping and I am irritable around him. Yesterday I shouted at him because he wouldn’t let me help him with his laundry. I felt terrible! I am at my wits’ end! My brothers and sisters do not want to put dad in a nursing home but they are not willing to help out. As usual, they have left me with all the responsibility. I work part time and have two small children to care for.” Susan’s father, Sam, sat quietly with tears filling his eyes. He was well nourished and well-groomed but would not make eye contact. Nurse Ann noticed that the house was clean and orderly. A tray in front of the TV had the remains of a ham sandwich and glass of ice tea. Mail was piled up, unopened on a small table near the front door. There was only one car in the driveway and the yard was in need of attention.

• What questions does Orlando’s theory guide the nurse to consider in caring for Susan and Sam?
• Develop a family plan of care from the perspective of Orlando.

Thank you

Here are your week 3 assignments.  Please try to do as much in your own words as possible.  I will take away points if I feel your work is completely taken from an article or the book.  I want to know what YOUR thoughts are, not someone else’s.  Please proofread your work prior to handing it in so that spelling and punctuation errors are fixed.  I will take off points for this also.  Grammar is an essential piece of your work.  When you’re out on your own working after school,  you will need to communicate with many different types of people and you want to present yourself as the professional you are.

#1:  5 points Write a complete nursing care plan based off of this nursing diagnosis:  Deficient knowledge related to preparation for the hospitalization.  Your patient is a 4 year old boy.

#2:  5 points What is considered a fever in a child?  What medications would be used to control fever?  What non-medication interventions can be done to decrease fever?  Write out a script on parental education that you would tell a parent with a child with a fever.

#3:  6 points Fluid calculation needs in children are based on their weight.  Please figure out the following fluid requirements needed for 24 hours then amount you would infuse per hour.

        a. 8 kg infant

         b. 14 kg toddler

        c.  21 kg child.

For each of these children, what is their weight in pounds?

#4  Here’s some dosage calculations (1 point for each)

       a.  Doctor’s order: Give 125 mg of medication once a day.  Medication label says 1 tablet = 250 mg.  How many tablets should be administered daily?

        b.  Doctor’s order:  Give Tetracycline syrup 150 mg po once daily.  Medication labels says Tetracycline syrup 50/mL.  How many mL should be administered per day?

        c.  Doctor’s order: Meperidine 20 mg IM q4h prn for pain.  Child is rating pain 8/10 based off the FACES scale  Medication label states Meperdine 40 mg/ml.  How many mL would you give for one dose?

        d.  Doctor’s order: Heparin 3,000 units subcutaneously now.  Medication label reals 5,000 units/mL. How many milliliters will be administered for this patient?

2. What are the threats to internal and external validity

3. Is the design appropriately linked to the evidence hierarchy?

Qualitative data has been described as voluminous and sometimes overwhelming to the researcher. Discuss two strategies that would help a researcher manage and organize the data.

The three types of qualitative research are phenomenological, grounded theory, and ethnographic research. Compare the differences and similarities between two of the three types of qualitative studies and give an example of each.

·  Identify the national level key stakeholders who are affected by the practice problem and stakeholders involved in resolution.

·  Are clinical practice guidelines used to address this problem? Why or why not? If used, provide a brief overview of the CPG. If a CPG is not used, propose an intervention that could be implemented on a national scale to address the problem.

·  Why is the information important?

·  In what ways will you use this learning?

WEEK 3: Translation of a research-based intervention to practice involves a critical review of numerous published research studies to discern if individuals – research subjects – were treated according to the ethical values and principles as defined by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Reflect upon your selected practice problem and the eventual research-based intervention you select for your practice change project and address the following. (Practice Problem: Diabetes Mellitus)

·  What are the potential benefits and harms related to your selected practice problem (Diabetes Mellitus) when considering a research-based intervention for your practice change project?

·  Are there competing personal or professional values related to this research-based intervention that might impact the implementation of this intervention in your practice setting?
