Response one: Functional health patterns are a useful tool for nurses to use to gain insight into a patients current and past state of health. They include health perception- values, nutrition/metabolic patterns, sleep/rest patterns, elimination patterns activity/exercise patterns, cognitive/perceptual patterns sensory perception- self-concept pattern, role relationship patterns, sexuality/reproductive patterns and coping.( Whitney S., 2018) A comprehensive interview with the patient can help a nurse target causative factors for disease, the patient’s perceptions about the disease and beliefs regarding restoration of optimal functioning. By evaluating the patients past and present psychological, social and cultural state of being, the nurse can formulate a plan to optimize restorative health by attending to all aspects of the patients being. For example, a patient who has a long-standing history of hypertension who has progressed to stage 4 kidney disease. Careful evaluation of all aspects of the history may link past behaviors and habits to the patient’s current health status.

Response two: Useful wellbeing examples give an arrangement to the affirmation appraisal and a database for nursing analysis. There are two stages in this determination: history taking and assessment. The depiction is from the individual and family members point of view (Carper, 2019). It provides both emotional information as well as verbal reports. These reports are inspired by questions that help patients to tell the history and current status of their wellbeing. Perceptions in the assessment stage give information on design pointers and confirmation of data acquired during history taking. Functional patterns help the nurse to have a more comprehensive nursing assessment of the patient in order to provide care that is patient-centered, and evidence based. Through the functional patterns the nurse can perform a medical examination on the patient and ask relevant questions that will lead to an informed diagnosis and treatment of the patient accordingly based on the past and current medical condition.

For instance, kidney stones are a state of health where one experiences a problem in water and mineral salt absorption. This can lead to low amounts of urine, the constant need for vomiting, nausea, back pain, among other characteristics. Hence, the probing nurse will use a health perception pattern where the core answers may seek to know whether the kidney stones have made one forgo classes or daily activities and the essential coping approaches. However, the nurse may ask about nutrition and metabolic pattern where some characteristics given by the patient will be used to know the extent of this elimination complexity, whether it has caused dryness, loss of appetite, and weight loss. After establishing such facts of the past and present, the medical practitioner will eventually decide on the elimination pattern, which may comprise of bowel elimination, urinary elimination, or excess perspiration (O’Brien-Pallas, et.al. 2017). Such models help the nurses to choose the appropriate measure to take as well as knowing how the ailment has affected the life of the patient and the entire family.

Response three Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a result of disturbed immune regulation that causes an over the top production of autoantibodies. Renal involvement usually affects the glomeruli. Many symptoms occur slowly and the patient may not think twice about them. Asking questions about functional patterns will help with disease progression. Hematuria may be found on urinalysis. The extent of renal damage may indicate whether renal involvement will be reversible. No single lab test confirms SLE. Patient history and assessment of normal functioning changes help guide the on bringing of the disease. It can be brought on by some combination of genetics, medication taken, hormonal and environmental factors. Because multiple body systems are involved and slow changes are taking place, someone with SLE may go for years without being diagnosed. Encouraging patients with hope that maintaining a healthy balance can take place with treatment and follow up care. A sense of self-worth and meaningful family relationships should be addressed and access to resources to plan realistic goals for personal feelings of happiness (Jorge, Wallace, Lu, Zhang, & Choi, 2019)

As nurses we complete physical assessment on a routine basis, but typically these are focused assessments. Which components of the head-to-toe physical assessment are not routine for you (ones you do not use on a regular basis)? Why is it important for you to still be familiar with these components and skilled at completing them?

The Makah tribe claim to have hunted gray whales for more than 2,000 years. They stopped in the 1920s due to a decline in the number of gray whales. Now, they want to return to the hunt to provide food for their tribe and to restore the young men’s sense of discipline and pride in their traditions.Proponents of the hunt claim that a majority of the tribe support the hunt, which is expected to take fewer than the five whales they are permitted by law to kill. Tribal leaders claim they will take no pregnant or nursing females. Some Makah elders disagree, however, pointing out that the tribe survived for most of the twentieth century without eating whale meat and claiming that there are better ways to instill pride and discipline. The environmental community argues that the whale hunt is immortal because it violates the whales’ right to exist on the planet. Is it appropriate for nonmembers of the Makah tribe-for example, students in your class-to evaluate the morality of the Makah whale hunt? Explain..

Magnet status recognizes healthcare organizations that foster nursing excellence, encourage nursing staff growth and development, and provide an environment that supports professional nursing practice. Healthcare organizations recognized with Magnet status must identify a theoretical framework in which to guide nursing practice. This framework strengthens nursing’s focus of care and promotes the acceptance and recognition of nurses as members of a scholarly discipline. There is little point in professional theory development unless it is used to guide and change practice.

A good place to examine how using nursing theory can enhance your care is to reflect upon why you chose the nursing profession and what being a nurse truly means to you. Explain how nursing theory according to the Magnet model can improve the advanced nursing role.
