Care for the Pregnant Patient

Description:

When caring for a pregnant patient, it is essential to differentiate between normal and abnormal assessment data. In this assignment, you will respond to a pregnant woman’s assessment findings and her questions regarding what signs or symptoms would indicate a need to notify the health care provider.

Tasks:

Case Study:

Your 36-year-old patient is expecting her first child. She is 24 weeks pregnant and her maternity health checkups have been within normal limits. She excitedly mentions, “My baby is moving around a lot more lately!” You notice this physical examination states that her weight has increased substantially and her Blood Pressure (B/P) is 152/94 (previous visit indicates that the B/P was 132/76). She is asking questions related to how to know if she is having any problems with the pregnancy.

Based on your own experience and from your readings in this course, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, address the following:

  • Based upon the data you have, what other assessments should be completed at this point (including questions to ask and/or additional diagnostics)?
  • How will you determine that the patient understands her current condition and other potential complications?

Discussion 1: Social Technologies in the Workplace

As a nurse manager, it is imperative to understand how social technologies can impact productivity, peer-to-peer relationships, and patient safety within the workplace. Collaborating with HR to understand policies and the organization’s expectations related to the use of social technologies allows nurse managers to more effectively and appropriately integrate today’s social platforms while mitigating the occurrence of inappropriate behaviors.

For this week’s Discussion, below is the assigned scenario. You will then use that scenario to investigate the social, ethical, and legal ramifications of social technologies.

Scenario : A physician in your setting is an avid user of social media. On many of his personal pages, which include blogs about his various outdoor hobbies, he plasters pictures of himself and his friends out drinking. He also tends to post extreme comments about politics and the economy. Many in your setting joke with him about the intensity of his social life, to which he always comments, “Work hard, play hard.” Though his actions are not hurting the morale of the setting, and his posts are always before or after work hours, should anything be said to this physician? In the future, could your setting experience any ramifications because of his presence in social media?

To prepare

  • Review the Learning Resources, focusing on the appropriate and inappropriate use of social technologies in the workplace.
  • Conduct further research on the social, ethical, and legal issues that result from inappropriate use of social technologies both inside and outside work hours.
    • For example, what laws protect the privacy and free speech of employees? How can workplaces legally safeguard themselves from various social technology issues such as defamation, misrepresentation, or misuse by individual employees? Of what legal ramifications, such as patient privacy and confidentiality laws, should managers be aware?
  • Reflect on the scenario to which you have been assigned.
    • How might employee use of social technologies impact the rest of the setting? How might it impact the care given to patients?
    • As the nursing manager who oversees the employee(s), what strategies (if any) would you employ to effectively address this situation?
  • Consider the social technology policies of your past or present workplace.
    • With regard to employee use of social media, do you believe the workplace policy is effective? Why or why not? As a nurse manager, could you use this policy to effectively address the behaviors in your assigned scenario

Post an explanation of the possible social, ethical, and/or legal ramifications of your assigned scenario. Explain the policy your current or past workplace has on the use of social technologies and how effective you believe the policy is. If your workplace does not have a policy, explain what the accepted practices or expectations are for your setting. Has lack of policy led to any problems? Support your responses by referencing authentic examples from the workplace and this week’s Learning Resources as appropriate.

Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure (LMRD) Act: Union Dues

Scenario: Union dues are not payroll deducted and must be paid by the end of the month. Mark has had a lousy month. His car broke down and had to be fixed, his hot water heater broke down and he had to get that replaced, and fa water lined burst in his home and caused some flooding damage. Mark has had to spend a lot of money this past month and he forgot to pay his union dues. Mark had spoken to his union steward and made him aware of the situation. However, the union has brought Mark up on disciplinary action for non-payment of union dues. Have Mark’s rights under LMDRA been violated? Should he be punished for this? Explain. Minimum words 200. Use references and in-text citations. Selected tutor will receive e-book information.

There is a proposal to base the report on, I do not expect a perfect written report (although needs to be error free, grammatically correct, formatted perfectly, and given alot of extra thought into a savory written report.) Better researched sources. cover letter title page and all that jazz shown in the attachment of poorly written directions, attaching audio of voice of how she also exactly want it

Report Assignment Identify an existing problem in your field of study or interest. Explain what the problem is, who it impacts, how it impacts this segment of the population (which you identified), why this problem is significant, and what the financial implications associated with it are. Once you analyze the problem you will have to research and propose a possible solution, and show how your solution makes sense and is an efficient and cost-effective answer to the problem. You will need to anticipate objections and complications, and to incorporate answers to questions readers will likely raise. The formal report must include the following items: transmittal letter or memo title page (which you must design) abstract table of contents executive summary  visual aid (at least one) works cited page (apa) bibliographyThe report must utilize at least six credible outside sources peer reviewed sources (credible internet sources, trade journals, books or publications from the library, publications from government agencies, professional publications, etc.). Much of this work should have been done throughout the semester (via the eight summaries). The report should include internal heading and use appropriate formatting (margins, font, font size, spacing, etc.). The report will be graded on research/content (information gathered and logic applied), format/parts (professional look and adherence to instructions), writing (clarity, coherence, and correctness). The report must be a minimum of five pages, which does not include the front matter, executive summary, works cited, and back matter.PresentationsAs part of this project you will give a short 5-10 minute presentation on your report. You should have at least 5 PowerPoint slides to accompany your presentation, and should be prepared to answer questions.

Oh oh oh! for the 5-6 powerpoints is there a possibility to condense this information.

For the presentation I want to use a tootsiepop analogy.

the stick represents the manufacturer, the candy on the outside represents any drug (heroine, oxycotin, xanax) that the manufacturer uses in order to mix with fentanyl to sell, and the tootsie in the middle is the fentanyl itself.

I want to start off the presentation with questions of who has health insurance, who has mental health problems used both resources and realized they either do not help or realize how expensive they are.

Resulting in buying the drugs to self medicate however, not realizing the risks of doing so.

Describing what fentanyl is where it came from who made it why the population has grown and who is responsible for the popularity of it now ( mexican cartel buying from china and producing the drugs to sell) and how dangerous it is compared to other drugs.

Those who have been affected by it in the united stated and what we can do to stop it.

Explaining how many people that have died are just statistic and now people only care about the risks because of big names that have fallen these recent years ( mac miller, prince, lil peep) It’s just unfortunate that it isn’t just fentanyl people do not realize that the drugs they take like in lil peeps case, he would exploitation-ally take xanax but didn’t realize that the next batch he took contained fentanyl resulting in his over dose.

nalaxone and better prepared clinics and mental health serves for younger individuals and maybe and eventually better insurance for older. (or something like that.) Main purpose is trying to explain that we need to be more aware of the drugs to purchase and help those with either addicition or mental health problems or even trying to help with pain issues.

Rogers Activity- Diffusion Discussion

400words

This week will be working on Everett Rogers’ book Diffusion of Innovations, which presents a set of ideas attempting to present a fairly comprehensive explanation of how new ideas and technology are spread from those who already know and/or use the innovation. This book has been through five editions and has been a reference point for quite a few scholars. Rogers is not the only scholar to try to explain these phenomena, but his theories have been very influential and you will very likely find them useful.

As Rogers defines it in the chapter, diffusion is: “…the process by which (1) an innovation (2) is communicated through certain channels (3) over time (4) among the members of a social system.” (11) What Rogers is attempting to do is provide an explanation for differences between innovations on how they are taken up by a population. Even though the innovation may be the same, it is not necessarily adopted in the same ways, and many of these ideas are used to investigate how workplaces attempt to introduce (or suppress) new technologies and approaches.

This chapter is an overview of quite a few ideas, so we’re going to break them down into more accessible chunks. For exploration of the ideas from each of the four major components of Rogers’ definition. Here is the breakdown:

  1. Adoption/Adopter
  2. Technology Clusters
  3. Hardware/Software
  4. Relative Advantage
  5. Compatibility
  6. Complexity
  7. Trialability
  8. Observability
  9. Reinvention
  10. Mass Media / Marketing / Advertising
  11. Heterophily / Homophily
  12. The Innovation-Decision Process
  13. Adopter Categories
  14. Rate of Adoption
  15. System effects
  16. System norms
  17. Opinion Leaders and Change Agents
  18. Types of innovation decisions
  19. Contingent innovation decisions
  20. Consequences of innovations

what you need to do is look at relevant materials from the chapter and post a full response:

  1. Describe the idea from Rogers in your own words.
  2. Provide an example of that explanation in action by documenting it with regards to a different technology currently in the news.

part 2:

You’ll need to comment on at least four posts on other classmates’ Rogers topics
