The case study that I have been assigned to involves a 57 year old man complaining of pulsating ear pain for 3 days. Based on the data obtained, Vital signs are stable with a slight temperature. The patient admits to pain, but once drainage resolved, the pain became less. Ear pain can have causes that are not due to underlying diseases. Some reasons that ear pain can occur is due to tight headwear, poorly fitting headphones, sleeping on a hard surface, ear piercings, grinding teeth, or with exudate and crusting. The patient denies loss/ability to hear.

            During my assessment, the subjective data that I would obtain would be as followed; Do you have a history of allergies? With seasonal allergies it can cause ear pain. Did you use any over the counter meds for the symptoms? Have you been on an airplane in the past week or participated in any water sports? Ear pain 5/10 on a pain scale and admits to a headache. Objective symptoms include drainage from left ear with small amounts of blood. Temperature noted at 100.3 orally.

I would consider a Middle ear infections (Otitis Media) because they often go away on their own within 2 or 3 days, even without any specific treatment. This middle ear infection occurs suddenly. It causes swelling and redness whereas, fluid and pus are trapped under the eardrum (Jarvis, 2016). A fever is sometimes noted. Typically this type of infection is seen in smokers or being around someone who smokes, have seasonal or year-round allergy symptoms, have a cold or other upper respiratory infection. The patient denies any past medical history. Fungal ear infection is an infection of the ear with a fungus. It normally involves the canal that runs from the ear hole to the eardrum.

The medical term for it is otomycosis. Fungal infection looks just like an infection from bacteria.  Most fungal infection will only be suspected if your infection does not improve with antibiotic drops prescribed for a bacterial infection ( Rhoads, 2021). Fungal infection of the ear is more common in people living in tropical and subtropical countries. Some symptoms of otomycosis are pain, itching, inflammation, swelling, redness, discharge of fluid from the ears and hearing problems. A perforated eardrum may be caused by loud sounds, a foreign object in the ear, head trauma, a middle ear infection, or rapid pressure changes, such as from air travel. Symptoms may include sharp ear pain that subsides quickly, drainage, ringing in the ear, or hearing loss (Jarvis, 2016). This condition usually heals on its own within a few weeks. Antibiotics, an eardrum patch, or surgery may be necessary.

However, I would perform is medical history and do a physical exam, while looking at the outer ear and eardrum with an otoscope or an otomicroscope.  A test called tympanometry will be performed to tell how well the middle ear is working. If needed the diagnostic test I will order is a CT scan of the face or refer to an ENT. The treatment of choice for these conditions will be antibiotic therapy for a few days or weeks depending on the severity of the infection. Acetaminophen for the fever and encourage oral hydration.

1. DISCUSSION # 4 INITIAL POST EXPLAINIGN WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT :

• WHEN WAS PRESCRIPTION AUTHORITY FOR APRN APPROVED, SPECIFICALLY IN FLORIDA?
• WHICH ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE APRN BE GRANTED AUTHORIZATION/PRIVILAGES TO PRESCRIBED CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE?
• WHAT IS CONSIDERED CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE?
• HOW TO APPLY FOR DEA NUMBER?
• VISIT THE CD WEBSITE, AND ELABORATE ON THE CURRENT ISSUE WITH CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE ABUSE IN THE USA AND FLORIDA?

s there a difference between “common practice” and “best practice”?

When you first went to work for your current organization, experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that would best help you perform your new role.

Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.

Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it a common practice or a best practice?

In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and inquiry and practice searching for research in support of maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this research to compare research methodologies employed.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and identify a clinical issue of interest that can form the basis of a clinical inquiry. Keep in mind that the clinical issue you identify for your research will stay the same for the entire course. 
• Based on the clinical issue of interest and using keywords related to the clinical issue of interest, search at least four different databases in the Walden Library to identify at least four relevant peer-reviewed articles related to your clinical issue of interest. You should not be using systematic reviews for this assignment, select original research articles.
• Review the results of your peer-reviewed research and reflect on the process of using an unfiltered database to search for peer-reviewed research.
• Reflect on the types of research methodologies contained in the four relevant peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Part 1: Identifying Research Methodologies

After reading each of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected, use the Matrix Worksheet template to analyze the methodologies applied in each of the four peer-reviewed articles. Your analysis should include the following:

• The full citation of each peer-reviewed article in APA format.
• A brief (1-paragraph) statement explaining why you chose this peer-reviewed article and/or how it relates to your clinical issue of interest, including a brief explanation of the ethics of research related to your clinical issue of interest.
• A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the aims of the research of each peer-reviewed article.
• A brief (1-2 paragraph) description of the research methodology used. Be sure to identify if the methodology used was qualitative, quantitative, or a mixed-methods approach. Be specific.
• A brief (1- to 2-paragraph) description of the strengths of each of the research methodologies used, including reliability and validity of how the methodology was applied in each of the peer-reviewed articles you selected.

Assignment: Workplace Environment Assessment

Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).
• Review the Work Environment Assessment Template.
• Reflect on the output of your Discussion post regarding your evaluation of workplace civility and the feedback received from colleagues.
• Select and review one or more of the following articles found in the Resources:
  • Clark, Olender, Cardoni, and Kenski (2011)
  • Clark (2018)
  • Clark (2015)
  • Griffin and Clark (2014)

The Assignment (3-6 pages total):

Part 1: Work Environment Assessment (1-2 pages)

• Review the Work Environment Assessment Template you completed for this Module’s Discussion.
• Describe the results of the Work Environment Assessment you completed on your workplace.
• Identify two things that surprised you about the results and one idea you believed prior to conducting the Assessment that was confirmed.
• Explain what the results of the Assessment suggest about the health and civility of your workplace.

Part 2: Reviewing the Literature (1-2 pages)

• Briefly describe the theory or concept presented in the article(s) you selected.
• Explain how the theory or concept presented in the article(s) relates to the results of your Work Environment Assessment.
• Explain how your organization could apply the theory highlighted in your selected article(s) to improve organizational health and/or create stronger work teams. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 3: Evidence-Based Strategies to Create High-Performance Interprofessional Teams (1–2 pages)

• Recommend at least two strategies, supported in the literature, that can be implemented to address any shortcomings revealed in your Work Environment Assessment.
