What initial assessment and investigations would be required?Discuss his immediate management required using timeframes and referral to a national policy where appropriate.

Nursing the person with deteriorating health
Question 1.

Discuss the assessment tools that can be used to support that diagnosis? (10 marks). You have used NEWS 2 to demonstrate identification there are a lot of words used here. You have indicated the use of qSOFA but why is this different? track and trigger systems for sepsis. qSOFA septic bundle?

Explain the pathophysiology involved with sepsis. (10 marks) – This is a reasonable section but could have been more in-depth and more varied references. – Marks awarded 6 out of 10.

Discuss his immediate management required using timeframes and referral to a national policy where appropriate. (30 marks)

What concerns might you have and what precautions would you take? (10 marks) Again think you have missed the key points of Ash’s presentation either COVID or community-acquired pneumonia. The focus should have been on this and PCR and PPE. – Mark awarded – 3 out of 10.

What initial assessment and investigations would be required? (10 marks) You have used ABCDE in this section but not in a logical or full approach again you miss key issues there other investigations that may be relevant here to help with diagnosis and indications for management – Mark awarded – 2 out of 10.

Drawing on your knowledge of pathophysiology, relevant policy, and guidelines, what care and management would Ash require in the next 24 hours? (30 marks)

 

 Explain the pathophysiology of what is happening to the patient. How and why the interventions is going to make a difference to your patient for the specific acute situation.

Identify 3 high priority problems.

You will use actual nursing diagnoses.

You will implement related to and evidenced by.

Choose 6 time- critical Nursing/medical interventions.

Choose nursing interventions that is going to make a difference to your patient during their acute setting.

Present the rationale for the interventions.

How and why the interventions is going to make a difference to your patient for the specific acute situation.

Give the expected outcome.

Data and/ or narrative (observations) of the interventions.

How do you know if you need to continue, escalate or stop the interventions. You need to follow the data in which you have extrapolated from above.

 How do disease recognition strategies can be utilized and/or improved and the potential impact on health and wellness.

Kidney Disease

Your critical assignment presentation, at minimum, should include the following:

Background and rationale for choosing the disease

An examination, analysis, and summary of how individual and/or public health is affected by the disease.

Etiology of the disease

Pathophysiology of the disease

Identification and discussion regarding relevent signs and symptoms

Current and possible future treatments/therapies

Identification and discussion regarding current disease recognition strategies (screening, etc.)

How do disease recognition strategies can be utilized and/or improved and the potential impact on health and wellness.

How do education and/or prevention strategies/programs may promote improved health outcomes, relevent to your disease

Resources currently utiilized and/or still needed to improve health outcomes via education and prevention

Recommendations

Applications/Relationships to the field of public health

Describe the clinical manifestations (signs, symptoms, EKG changes) that happen when the electrolyte disturbance happens. Is there a difference between early and late clinical manifestations?

Pathophysiology Discussion Post #2 Hypocalcemia

My topic is Hypocalcemia. The questions will be based on this topic.

What is the electrolyte disturbance? (ex. Hypokalemia — title)

What is the normal serum blood range for this electrolyte and what has happened to the value when the electrolyte disturbance occurs?

Describe the clinical manifestations (signs, symptoms, EKG changes) that happen when the electrolyte disturbance happens. Is there a difference between early and late clinical manifestations?

How are you (as a student) going to memorize this electrolyte disturbance? Would you create a flashcard? Rewrite on notebook paper? Use a picmonic?

Describe the mechanism of action(s) of the medication, using scientific and professional terms, as if explaining to a peer. Include a basic 1-2 sentence overview of the pathophysiology of the disease process and then spend more time covering the pathophysiology of where the medication will alter.

Medication Prilosec-omeprazole

Section 1: Describe the disease and a broad overview of the pathophysiology of the disease process.

Section 2: Describe the mechanism of action(s) of the medication, using scientific and professional terms, as if explaining to a peer. Include a basic 1-2 sentence overview of the pathophysiology of the disease process and then spend more time covering the pathophysiology of where the medication will alter.

Section 3: Discuss in detail how the medication alters the pathophysiology of the disease process, using terms as if explaining it to a peer.

Section 4: Use scientific and professional terms in this section. Locate one peer-reviewed journal article where the chosen medication was used to treat the chosen disease. Discuss the population, interventions, and results.

Conclusion: one paragraph reviewing the content of your portfolio paper with paraphrased statement.

Appendix: Describe how you would explain to a patient how the medication will treat the disease, using simple terms. terminology simple enough for them to easily understand.
