Click here to download and analyze the case study for this week. Create a SOAP note for disease prevention, health promotion, and acute care of the patient in the clinical case. Your care plan should be based on current evidence and nursing standards of care.

Visit the online library and research for current scholarly evidence (no older than 5 years) to support your nursing actions. In addition, consider visiting government sites such as the CDC, WHO, AHRQ, Healthy People 2020. Provide a detailed scientific rationale justifying the inclusion of this evidence in your plan.

Next determine the ICD-10 classification (diagnoses). The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is the official system used in the United States to classify and assign codes to health conditions and related information.

Click here to access the codes.

Download the SOAP template to help you design a holistic patient care plan. Utilize the SOAP guidelines to assist you in creating your SOAP note and building your plan of care. You are expected to develop a comprehensive SOAP note based on the given assessment, diagnosis, and advanced nursing interventions. Reflect on what you have learned about care plans through independent research and peer discussions and incorporate the knowledge that you have gained into your patient’s care plan.  If the information is not in the provided scenario please consider it normal for SOAP note purposes, if it is abnormal please utilize what you know about the disease process and write what you would expect in the subjective and objective areas of your note.

Format

• Your care plan should be formatted as a Microsoft Word document. Follow the current APA edition style. Your paper should be no longer than 3-4 pages excluding the title and the references and in 12pt font.
• Name your document: SU_NSG6001_W2A2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
• Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.

Assignment 05: Forming Your Research Question or Thesis

 Once you’ve received approval for your research topic from your professor, you must decide what question you’ll try to answer, or what argument you’ll try to prove in the course of presenting your research. IT is also time to begin to research your topic and develop your reference list.

You must develop a research question or thesis that can be addressed effectively in a 4-page paper. This video from ProQuest Research Companion, “Thesis Statements as Debatable Claims,” gives more information about thesis statements (and the questions they answer).

As you develop your thesis statement or research question, consider:

.Do you have a “burning question” about this topic? What is it?

.Do you already have a strong opinion about this topic? Do you want to “take a stand”?

What to Submit for this Assignment

For this assignment, choose one of these purposes and expand on it in more detail in 5-7 sentences. If you have a question, describe it and speculate about how you will answer it. If you have a strong opinion, state clearly what it is, and why you believe it to be true.

Below your paragraph, include 2-3 credible sources that you are considering including in your paper. Cite them in APA style.

See attached.  Please let it be readable after you change. Thank you.

2. Bias Among Study Designs

Are biases the same among different study designs?

Instructions: Please respond to each discussion question in a narrative format (APA Guidelines). 

Discussion #1 

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:

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

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

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.
