Assignment:

Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include title page, level headings, and a reference page.

1.Case Study

The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears “Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sign escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming?

What are characteristics of a humanbecoming nurse? What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing?

What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?

How might Parse’s understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann’s death became a reality to Ben?

From the nursing theories we have discussed, what theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)

The APA formatted paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1250 and 1500 words in length.

Drug Abuse

/in , , , /by

Drug Abuse

Drug abuse refers to the harmful or excessive use of legal or illegal substances for non-medical purposes. It’s a complex issue with various social, psychological, and physiological factors at play. Individuals may abuse drugs for a multitude of reasons, including seeking pleasure, coping with stress or trauma, or succumbing to peer pressure.

The consequences of drug abuse can be devastating, impacting not only the individual but also their families, communities, and society at large. Health risks associated with drug abuse range from physical ailments such as heart disease, liver damage, and respiratory problems to mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Moreover, drug abuse often leads to impaired judgment and risky behaviors, increasing the likelihood of accidents, violence, and criminal involvement.

Addressing drug abuse requires a multifaceted approach encompassing prevention, education, treatment, and rehabilitation. Prevention efforts aim to raise awareness about the risks associated with drug use and promote healthy lifestyles. Education plays a crucial role in equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about substance use. Additionally, access to comprehensive treatment programs that offer medical, psychological, and social support is essential for those struggling with drug addiction to achieve recovery and lead fulfilling lives.

Efforts to combat drug abuse must also include measures to reduce the availability of illicit substances, enforce laws and regulations, and provide support for individuals and communities affected by drug-related issues. By fostering collaboration among governments, healthcare providers, community organizations, and individuals, we can work towards minimizing the harm caused by drug abuse and promoting well-being for all.

Drug Abuse

For this task, you will prepare a lecture suitable for a community college course on the pharmacological effects of a particular drug of abuse. You may choose one of the following as the format for this presentation: prepare a recorded lecture with an accompanying transcript of the lecture or submit a written lecture as a paper.

Include the following in your lecture:

Choose a commonly abused drug and gather information on the drug’s pharmacology.

Discuss how the drug is typically administered, absorbed. and distributed throughout the body.

Include the concept of biotransformation; explain where it occurs and identify the pharmacological processes involved.

Explain the difference between effective dose and lethal dose and how these concepts relate to the therapeutic index of the drug you are presenting.

Discuss how this particular drug affects the process of neurotransmission and include in your discussion the impact this drug has on specific neurotransmitters.

Be sure to include information on tolerance (neuroadaptation) with this particular drug and the different types of tolerance experienced with this drug.

In addition to information found in the course text, find at least three research articles relevant to the pharmacology of the drug you are presenting (published within the past 5 years) to support your lecture.

Amphetamine Use and Abuse Paper Help

Aaliyah continues to struggle with balancing her work hours and her schoolwork. She has been drinking coffee to help her stay awake, but it is no longer working. She has an exam coming up and needs to stay up to study (Amphetamine Use and Abuse Paper Help).

Aaliyah decides to take an amphetamine to stay awake to study for the exam. She promises herself that she will only take it this one time for the exam. The drug allows her to stay awake and alert while she is studying for the exam. She also feels that she is learning the material better because of the amphetamine. When the grades are in, Aaliyah receives an A on her work.

As the semester continues, Aaliyah turns to amphetamines more and more often to help her stay awake to complete her schoolwork. Soon, Aaliyah finds that one pill no longer keeps her awake if she needs.

She starts taking more than one pill at a time. She knows that taking amphetamines so often is not good for her health, and she finds she experiences an increase in headaches when she takes them, but she continues to take them because they are helping her be successful in school and at work.

Based on the case study, prepare a paper that addresses the following:

· Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present.

· Explain to which schedule amphetamines belong and why they are on the Schedule of Controlled Substances.

· Explain the effects Aaliyah might be experiencing because of her regular amphetamine use. Be sure to include:

o Acute effects, chronic effects, and withdrawal

o Effects on physiology (brain and body), behavior, mood, and toxicity

· Give at least three indications from the case study suggesting there may be a problem with Aaliyah’s substance use. That is, describe at least three likely behaviors that Aaliyah is likely to exhibit if she is misusing amphetamines.

Determine whether Aaliyah has a substance use disorder. Include a discussion of DSM criteria. Use the template to help you make the assessment.

Download the diagnosis template to use with this assignment.

Diagnosis Template: 

Place a check in front of each symptom that is present

o Substance is taken in larger amounts or for longer periods than intended

o A persistent desire or unsuccessful attempts to cut down or regulate substance use

o A great deal of time spent obtaining the substance, using the substance, or recovering from substance use

o An intense desire or urge for the substance o Use results in failure to fulfill major obligations at work, home, or school

o Continued use despite social or interpersonal problems caused or exacerbated by the substance use

o Important social, occupational, or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of the substance use (Amphetamine Use and Abuse Paper Help)

o Recurrent use in situations where it is physically hazardous

o Continued use despite persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problems that occur because of or exacerbated by substance use

o Tolerance

o Need for more of the substance to achieve desired effect

o Markedly diminished effect when using the same amount of the substance

o Withdrawal 

o Presence of characteristic withdrawal syndrome when the substance is not present

o Using the substance to alleviate withdrawal symptoms

(Note: Criteria of tolerance and withdrawal are not considered to be met for those individuals taking medications under appropriate medical supervision)

Two or more checks on this list = substance use disorder (Amphetamine Use and Abuse Paper Help)
