How is depression identified and treated?5……….Supporting one—Challenging one.By the end of the week comment on the responses of at least two other students bysupporting a minimum of one post and challenging a minimum of one post.You will want to focus on their point of view, asking pertinent questions, adding to the responses by including information from other sources, and respectfully challenging a point of view, supported by references to other sources.

Medical background only for nursing discussion

/in /by

A nurse practitioner (NP) cared for a 15-year-old male at an outpatient clinic. The chief complaints of the 15-year-old and his mother at the time of the visit included a lack of appetite, nausea and vomiting, and some abdominal pain. A urine test revealed hematuria, and the NP diagnosed the patient with viral gastroenteritis. One week later, the patient is transported to the emergency room with a ruptured appendix, requiring immediate surgery. The patient fully recovered from the emergency appendectomy. The parents of the patient file a lawsuit against the NP for malpractice and the outpatient clinic for inadequate supervision of the NP, claiming that a correct diagnosis would have prevented prolonged discomfort and emergency surgery, as well as their loss of wages resulting from the presurgical and postsurgical care needed for their son. You are an NP who has been hired as an expert witness and consultant by the insurance company representing the outpatient clinic. The attorney representing the NP has asked you to review the case and identify any concerns or further information that would help in resolving this case.Case Questions (See Rubric in the Syllabus to complete this assignment)Because the NP is being accused of malpractice, you are asked to review the case to determine whether malpractice has occurred based on the required conditions. What are the three conditions that must exist to establish malpracticeWhile reviewing the case file, you note that the insurance company is representing the clinic. If the clinic is determined to be “not guilty” of failing to provide adequate supervision of the NP, how could this affect the NPWhat are some tips you could give the NP to avoid or reduce the possibility of legal issues?Content Must be Thorough knowledge and effort demonstrated.Organization Concise and clear and wellpresented planplease watch video.APA format no more than 5 years old references.250 word mimumhttps://youtu.be/MRbw5O5oDvE

Assignment: Literature Review: The Use of Clinical Systems to Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies

/in /by

New technology—and the application of existing technology—only appears in healthcare settings after careful and significant research. The stakes are high, and new clinical systems need to offer evidence of positive impact on outcomes or efficiencies.Nurse informaticists and healthcare leaders formulate clinical system strategies. As these strategies are often based on technology trends, informaticists and others have then benefited from consulting existing research to inform their thinking.In this Assignment, you will review existing research focused on the application of clinical systems. After reviewing, you will summarize your findings.To Prepare:Review the Resources and reflect on the impact of clinical systems on outcomes and efficiencies within the context of nursing practice and healthcare delivery.Conduct a search for recent (within the last 5 years) research focused on the application of clinical systems. The research should provide evidence to support the use of one type of clinical system to improve outcomes and/or efficiencies, such as “the use of personal health records or portals to support patients newly diagnosed with diabetes.”Identify and select 5 peer-reviewed articles from your research.The Assignment: (4-5 pages)In a 4- to 5-page paper, synthesize the peer-reviewed research you reviewed.

Include the following:Publication detailsAnnotation (a detailed reading of the source)Each annotation section should include the following:Summarize key points and identify key terms (using quotation marks, and citing a page in parentheses).Describe the controversies or “problems” raised by the articles.State whether you agree or disagree and give reasons.Locate one or two quotations to be used in the final research project.Evaluate the ways in which this article is important and has helped you focus your understanding.Use the following as a model:APA ReferenceMezirow, J. (2003). Transformative learning as discourse. Journal of Transformative Education, 1(1), 58-63.Annotation ExampleIn this article, Mezirow (2003) makes a distinction between “instrumental” and “communicative” learning. “Instrumental learning” refers to those processes which measure and gauge learning, such as tests, grades, comments, quizzes, attendance records and the like. “Communicative learning,” on the other hand, refers to understanding created over time between individuals in what Mezirow calls “critical-dialectical-discourse,” (p. 59) which is a fancy way of saying, important conversation between 2 or more speakers. Another key idea Mezirow discusses is “transformative learning,” (p. 61) which changes the mind, the heart, the values and beliefs of people so that they may act better in the world. Mezirow argues that “hungry, desperate, homeless, sick, destitute, and intimidated people obviously cannot participate fully and freely in discourse” (p. 59). On the one hand, he is right: there are some people who cannot fully engage because their crisis is so long and deep, they are prevented. But, I don’t think Mezirow should make the blanket assumption that everyone in unfortunate circumstances is incapable of entering the discourse meaningfully. One thing is certain: if we gave as much attention to the non-instrumental forms of intelligence–like goodness, compassion, forgiveness, wonder, self-motivation, creativity, humor, love, and other non-measured forms of intelligence in our school curriculums, we’d see better people, actors in the world, and interested investigators than we currently have graduating high school.Writing Requirements (APA format)Length: 4-7 pages (not including title page or references page)1-inch marginsDouble spaced12-point Times New Roman fontTitle pageGradingThis activity will be graded based on the Assignment Grading Rubric.
