Adaptive Response, Identify the pathophysiology of the disorders

/in /by

Assignment: Adaptive Response

As an advanced practice nurse, you will examine patients presenting with a variety of disorders. You must, therefore, understand how the body normally functions so that you can identify when it is reacting to changes. Often, when changes occur in body systems, the body reacts with compensatory mechanisms. These compensatory mechanisms, such as adaptive responses, might be signs and symptoms of alterations or underlying disorders. In the clinical setting, you use these responses, along with other patient factors, to lead you to a diagnosis.

Consider the following scenarios:

Scenario 1:

Jennifer is a 2-year-old female who presents with her mother. Mom is concerned because Jennifer has been “running a temperature” for the last 3 days. Mom says that Jennifer is usually healthy and has no significant medical history. She was in her usual state of good health until 3 days ago when she started to get fussy, would not eat her breakfast, and would not sit still for her favorite television cartoon. Since then she has had a fever off and on, anywhere between 101oF and today’s high of 103.2oF. Mom has been giving her ibuprofen, but when the fever went up to 103.2oF today, she felt that she should come in for evaluation. A physical examination reveals a height and weight appropriate 2-year-old female who appears acutely unwell. Her skin is hot and dry. The tympanic membranes are slightly reddened on the periphery, but otherwise normal in appearance. The throat is erythematous with 4+ tonsils and diffuse exudates. Anterior cervical nodes are readily palpable and clearly tender to touch on the left side. The child indicates that her throat hurts “a lot” and it is painful to swallow. Vital signs reveal a temperature of 102.8oF, a pulse of 128 beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of 24 beats per minute.

Scenario 2:

Jack is a 27-year-old male who presents with redness and irritation of his hands. He reports that he has never had a problem like this before, but about 2 weeks ago he noticed that both his hands seemed to be really red and flaky. He denies any discomfort, stating that sometimes they feel “a little bit hot,” but otherwise they feel fine. He does not understand why they are so red. His wife told him that he might have an allergy and he should get some steroid cream. Jack has no known allergies and no significant medical history except for recurrent ear infections as a child. He denies any traumatic injury or known exposure to irritants. He is a maintenance engineer in a newspaper building and admits that he often works with abrasive solvents and chemicals. Normally he wears protective gloves, but lately they seem to be in short supply so sometimes he does not use them. He has exposed his hands to some of these cleaning fluids, but says that it never hurt and he always washed his hands when he was finished.

Scenario 3:

Martha is a 65-year-old woman who recently retired from her job as an administrative assistant at a local hospital. Her medical history is significant for hypertension, which has been controlled for years with hydrochlorothiazide. She reports that lately she is having a lot of trouble sleeping, she occasionally feels like she has a “racing heartbeat,” and she is losing her appetite. She emphasizes that she is not hungry like she used to be. The only significant change that has occurred lately in her life is that her 87-year-old mother moved into her home a few years ago. Mom had always been healthy, but she fell down a flight of stairs and broke her hip. Her recovery was a difficult one, as she has lost a lot of mobility and independence and needs to rely on her daughter for assistance with activities of daily living. Martha says it is not the retirement she dreamed about, but she is an only child and is happy to care for her mother. Mom wakes up early in the morning, likes to bathe every day, and has always eaten 5 small meals daily. Martha has to put a lot of time into caring for her mother, so it is almost a “blessing” that Martha is sleeping and eating less. She is worried about her own health though and wants to know why, at her age, she suddenly needs less sleep.

To Prepare

  • Review the three scenarios, as well as Chapter 6 in the Huether and McCance text.
  • Identify the pathophysiology of the disorders presented in each of the three scenarios, including their associated alterations. Consider the adaptive responses to the alterations.
  • Review the examples of “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in this week’s Learning Resources. Then select one of the disorders you identified from the scenarios. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct a mind map for the disorder you selected. Consider the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical presentation, and diagnosis of the disorder, as well as any adaptive responses to alterations.
  • Review the Application Assignment Rubric found under Course Information

Paragraph 3

Please write a Paragraph answering to this discussion below with your opinion. Please include citations and references in case of another source.

Generally, to build up a healthy family relationship is very challenging for every family. Being in a second marriage is even more challenging for both partners as it involves the children from each partner if there’s any including step daughters and stepsons in a new family structure. Each partner and children may have been used to different responsibilities, values, behaviors, rules and roles before a second marriage and this can create imbalances and issues in the family trying to adjust to a new family. In order for a new family to be maintained and function as one, private time should be arranged frequently by each partner to form and put up a plan that would help address and institute new roles, rules and responsibilities.

A family that is blended together from previous marriage need to talk and decide about the different roles and responsibilities that each family member should undertake. Moreover, responsibilities should be provided to children based on their age when teaching and learning of responsibilities. To be well fitted into the lives of their stepsons or stepdaughters new couple need to determine the roles each partner will assume. For example, assuming the role of a father or mother is better suited to the step children when they are age 0 to 10 and a role of a mentor, coach and uncle or Aunt will be more appropriate if the step children are teenagers in order for them to feel more comfortable. For a blended family to work and more comfortable, parents should create an environment where they can communicate openly and listen to others. The family can function effectively when there is effective communication, ability to express emotions, responsiveness to needs of members as individuals, and problem solving ability” (Edelman & Kudzma, 2018) The needs of the family members should be identified and understood as a key practice in a blended family, family meetings should be held often in order to maintain a good relationship. When all these practices are put in place and the family continues to encounter problems, then a family therapist should be involved.

A Gantt Chart Based Scheduling Lag

/in /by

You are considering how to refine your project schedule to accommodate newly recognized needs. You will need to revise your project schedule by changing specific network schedule rules (ES, LS, EF, LF, etc.) and incorporating schedule lag. Your assignment is twofold: revise the project schedule based on the data in the Table 1 in Appendix B and the schedule instructions below; then interpret the resultant Gantt chart to answer the questions below. Your revised project schedule Gantt chart should include WBS ID, task description, schedule information (rules and lag), dates (Start & Finish), and durations as well as a project title and date.

This assignment can be completed using either Microsoft Project or Excel. Although MS Project does a lot of these tasks automatically, if you are using Excel you will need to develop the components separately by creating a table that contains the revised schedule information and an appropriate Gantt depiction as a basis for inclusion in your paper and addressing the assignment questions.

  1. Modify the:
    1.1 Task D predecessor dependency B to a Start-to-Start with 3 day lag.
    1.2 Task G predecessor dependency F to a Start-to-Finish with -2 day lag.
    1.3 All other dependencies should be Finish-to-Start with 0 day lag.
  2. Depict the revised schedule critical path on your Gantt chart.
  3. Analyze and summarize the impact of the Lag revision on the project schedule; recommend and justify an additional schedule Lag revision for schedule improvement.

Submit a two- to three-page paper with the answers to the above questions. The paper must include an introduction and conclusion. Inset your revised project schedule Gantt chart depiction as an appendix in your paper. Include a titlepage and a reference page that includes at least 3 outside references (one of which may include your textbook) to support your responses

Module 2 Discussion SWOT (2nd Question)

/in /by

Question 2 you are asked to address the following:

a) Assess what you believe to be the most important aspects of the internal environment at General Mills. Do not try to analyze every aspect of the internal organization — rather, identify a minimum of two internal strengths and/or weaknesses. Do your best not to repeat the observations made by your peers, although you are encouraged to build on each other’s observations (or to disagree).

b) Complete your SWOT by integrating the external environmental analysis you completed in Week 1 with your Week 2 internal analysis. Use your SWOT to conclude whether the organization’s overall outlook is more – or less – favorable.

It is very important for a company to assess its strengths so that it can use them to neutralize (or better yet, to eliminate) environmental threats and take advantage of opportunities. The organization must recognize (and it must work to shore up) its weaknesses so that opportunities are not missed, and such that threats are much less likely to put the company at risk.

Requirement:

2 Page Minimum, Double Space, Cite credible reference in APA format

Assignment Choice #2: Maintaining Long-Term Professional Relationships

/in /by

Assignment Choice #2: Maintaining Long-Term Professional Relationships

One of the most important aspects of negotiating with someone or a business that you have a long-term and on-going relationship with is maintaining that relationship post-negotiation. Consider the following negotiation:

You are the project manager for a manufacturing company. You have a long-term relationship with a supplier that provides your company with computer chips for your product. There have never been any previous issues, and you and the supplier have had a great relationship. However, with the last shipment, there were defects in 25% of the chips. You need to discuss this issue with the supplier and determine the best solution. Your main concern is not ruining the relationship, but the defects are costly for your organization.

Based on this scenario, brainstorm your answers for the following areas:

Goals

Trades

Alternatives

Relationship

Expected outcome

Consequences of winning or losing

Power

Possible solutions

After completing the eight areas, prepare a letter to the supplier’s president. Consider the elements above in the letter. Your letter should contain the following:

Current issue

Your suggestion for solving this issue

The outcome you would like to see

Time frame

Suggest your alternatives and solutions

Your answers to the eight elements can be written in a numbered list; however, your letter should be written in complete sentences and appropriate business letter format. The letter should be 1-2 pages in length and should be structured formally following the APA Requirements.

Overview: Understanding the structure of a criminal justice organization is the foundation of organizational assessment. This will allow you to accurately assess whether or not an organization is fulfilling its mission statement. Once assessment is determined, interdepartmental dissemination will be streamlined due to familiarity with the structure of the organization.

Prompt: Submit a draft of the structure (Section II) of your final project. Start with an outline of the organization as a whole entity. Once the structure has been determined, begin to analyze how departments interact to maximize efficiency in meeting the standards of the organization. Be sure to address all of the critical elements as outlined below.

Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:

II. Structure: In this section, you will analyze the overall structure of the organization to set the stage for your performance assessment. For the purposes of this project, you will select a subdivision of the agency on which to focus your performance assessment. A. What are the departments or subdivisions into which your selected organization is divided, and how do these subdivisions work together as a whole in relation to the mission of the organization? In other words, each department or subdivision has its own goals, but how do all the departments or subdivisions work together to achieve the organization’s mission? B. Describe your selected subdivision, and outline the specific goals and responsibilities of the subdivision, describing how they align with the overall mission of the agency. Consider how the goals of the selected subdivision align with the mission of the agency. C. Describe the key policies in place that run your selected subdivision of the organization, explaining how these policies align with the mission of the subdivision. For example, the subdivision might have specific rules and regulations within its operating procedures and laws that ensure the subdivision meets its established goals.
