 Hello i need a Briefly, Good and Positive Comment for this Post.Thank you.  I need at least two references.   

see attached

Please discuss all three of these questions regarding eating disorders. 

1.)  Compare and contrast the symptoms of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.  

2.)  What role does media/or society plays in the development of these disorders?  

3.)  What  are some important nursing considerations regarding the treatment of a  client with eating disorders during inpatient hospitalization? 

Choose  between week 6: class discussion one and two to discuss.  Please note,  you will not be able to see other students’ posts until you post your  initial post.

Both the DNP prepared nurse and PhD prepared nurse have valuable and vital roles within the healthcare field.  PhD prepared nurses are skilled in the area of research methods, such as quantitative, qualitative, and mixed research methods (Trautman, Idzik, Hammersla & Rosseter, 2018), therefore are research centered.  PhD prepared nurses are defined as linking research, teaching, and practice within the nursing profession (Andreassen & Christensen, 2018).  According to a quantitative study by Andrerassen & Christensen the number of PhD nurses is growing worldwide.  A priority of the PhD nurse is to complete practice based research with a goal to maintain a positive overall impact on patient care. 

   The DNP program was intended to prepare the advanced practice nurse to become a leader in a clinical practice setting (McCauley, Broome, Frazier, Hayes, Kurth, Musil, Norman, Rideout & Villarruel, 2020), therefore is more focused on clinical practice.  DNP prepared nurses often find themselves bridging the gap between research and the bedside (Trautman et al., 2018).  DNP nurses lead quality improvement initiatives while utilizing data to translate research into evidence based practice (Trautman et al., 2018).  Over the years the number of DNP programs available for one to enhance their education has grown.  DNP nurses complete coursework involving assessments of the most up to date technologies available to prescribers and will be prepared to apply this technology in the workforce to solve various problems (McCauley et al., 2020), such as solving emerging problems during this pandemic.   

   Both roles (DNP and PhD) aim at improving one’s healthcare services and wellbeing also are degrees of the highest level of nursing practice.  The goal of both the DNP and PhD prepared nurse is to have a positive patient care outcome.   Nurses have the opportunity to obtain either a PhD or DNP while expanding their knowledge in the healthcare field.  Overall this is a great opportunity,  one is able to choose what career path most suits them and their career goals.  I am excited to take advantage of this educational pathway with a goal to practice in a PMHNP role leader position.  I fully intend to  pursue my career in the mental health field and strengthen my clinical practice skills.

Part 1: Health Assessment

Case scenario

A previously healthy 35-year-old lawyer presents to a primary care office with a chief complaint of chest pain and a non-productive cough. The pain started suddenly 2 hours prior to coming to the office while the patient was sitting at his desk. The patient describes the pain as sharp in nature, constantly present but made worse with inspiration and movement, and with radiation to the base of the neck. His blood pressure in the right arm and other vital signs are normal.

On physical examination, the only findings of note are chest wall tenderness and a faint cardiac murmur. The ECG in the office is normal. The patient is observed for an hour in the office and assessed. He is diagnosed with viral pleurisy and sent home on non-steroidal analgesics.

The following day the patient collapses at home and cannot be resuscitated by the paramedic service. An autopsy reveals a Type 1 aortic dissection with pericardial tamponade.

Discussion Assignment:

Developing a list of possible conditions that might produce a patient’s symptoms and signs is an important part of clinical reasoning.

1. As an NP in primary care, what would you have done differently?
2. Discuss the importance of creating a list of differentials for this patient. How could it have changed this outcome?

If a serious diagnosis comes to mind based on a patient’s symptoms:

• Ask yourself: Have you considered the likelihood of a serious diagnosis and whether it needs to be ruled out by testing or referral?
• Because many serious disorders are challenging to diagnose, have you considered ruling out the worst-case scenario?
• Ask yourself: Do you have a sufficient understanding of the clinical presentation to offer an opinion on the diagnosis?
• What other diagnoses could it be? How might the treatment to date have altered the patient’s outcome?
• What other diagnostic and laboratory or imaging was needed in order to make a complete differential list? What support tools would you consider using in helping to create a differential diagnosis list?
• Are you familiar with the current clinical practice guidelines for the investigation of a suspected condition such as chest pain?
• Please support with up-to-date evidence-based standard of care guidelines.

Part 2: Pathopysiology

Mr. F is a 38-year-old man in overall good health who has been complaining about an aching pain in his knees when working around the house and often when simply walking. He has noticed that his knees feel “hard” and tight. His history indicates that he has always been involved in athletics and was on the college football team, but recently family responsibilities and work have not made it easy for him to exercise.

Discussion Questions

1. Relate Mr. F’s case history to the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis.

2. How do anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics help Mr. F deal with this form of arthritis?

    a.  Why is moderate, non–weight-bearing exercise recommended?

3. What is the probable prognosis for Mr. F?

 Part 4: Pathopysiology

Mr. K. is a 57-year-old man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.

Discussion Questions:

1. Discuss the development of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the pathophysiological changes.

2. Discuss the complications that might develop in this patient. (Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms.)

3. Discuss the treatments for all aspects of the patient’s condition, including slowing the progress of the

atherosclerosis, maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.

Bi-weekly Practicum Journaling

Every two weeks, you will submit a reflective journal to the discussion forum for review by course faculty and your classmates. All are expected to engage and support one another by sharing these experiences in a supportive, constructive, professional environment. Journaling is an active learning technique that is meant to enhance reflective practice (Blake, 2005). Reflective practice involves looking back over what has happened in the practice setting in an effort to improve performance or to encourage professional growth (Ruth-Sahd, 2003).

Your Weekly Practicum Journal is:

• A personal, introspective subjective account of your practicum experience and how your practicum experience relates to Healthy People 2020 and course objectives. Include events that occurred in your practicum experience, and be sure to describe your thoughts and feelings about those events.  How did your perceptions change? What did you learn that was unexpected? Describe your thinking about your thoughts and feelings regarding the new learning you experienced.
• Connected to South University’s College of Nursing Conceptual Framework Pillars (Caring, Communication, Critical Thinking, Professionalism, and Holism)
• Connected to prior coursework and experiences through reflective analysis.
• Written in a scholarly, academic style using APA style format. Two or three sentences are not sufficient nor are daily logs/reports of activities.

Citations should conform to APA guidelines. You may use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA Style website.
