Reflection in Creativity Innovation & Design (800 Words)

/in /by

Write a reflection as a student in charge of sound that has came up with a video (Implementation plan and video will be uploaded) with his/her group mates.

You must highlight your learning outcomes, and explain how those learning outcomes will affect their behavior in the future. Areas such as the creative process, conflict management, team cohesion, communication and planning etc must all be discussed and considered as part of the journey.

You must always support these experiences with a theoretical foundation, largely because only a reflection based on a sound theoretical foundation can a true represent a reflective journey.

The reflective piece is not a log or a diarised exposition of what took place over the semester. Rather you must address the emotional and cognitive journey which you have undertook, that is, what where your initial expectations of the course (Creativity Innovation & Design) were and how (if at all) they have changed over the journey.

Factors That Influence Disease

/in /by

WEEK1, APA FORMAT, 350-450 WORDS.

Discussion: Factors That Influence Disease

In clinical settings, some of the most common questions that patients ask are Why do I have this? What caused this disorder? Will it ever go away? These emotional questions can be difficult to ask and to answer. However, for patients to come to terms with their diagnoses and adhere to treatment plans, they must have an understanding of factors that might have caused, or continue to impact, their disorders. As an advanced practice nurse, it is important that you are able to explain disorders, associated alterations and symptoms, and changes that might occur within your patients’ bodies.

To Prepare

  • Review this week’s media presentation with Dr. Terry Buttaro. Reflect on the importance of developing an in-depth understanding of pathophysiology.
  • Select a disorder from the following list:
    • Adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease)
    • Atherosclerosis
    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones)
    • Colon cancer
    • Cystic fibrosis
    • Hemophilia
    • Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones)
    • Osteoporosis
    • Parkinson’s disease
    • Tuberculosis
  • Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how that factor might impact your selected disorder, as well as potential associated alterations and symptoms.
  • Identify the pathophysiology of the associated alterations, including the normal and altered cellular function. Consider both intra- and extra-cellular changes that occur.

BY DAY 3

Post a brief description of a patient scenario involving the disorder and the factor you selected. Explain how the factor might impact your selected disorder, as well as potential associated alterations and symptoms. Finally, explain the pathophysiology of the associated alterations, including changes in cellular function.

Basic Concepts of Physiology and Factors That Influence Disease

Imagine the pain, suffering, and frustration patients feel when they find out they have been misdiagnosed with a disease or disorder. Additionally, consider the financial implications and consequences for time-sensitive disorders such as cancer. Since most disorders have multiple symptoms, and these symptoms are often prevalent in more than one disorder, it can be difficult for health care providers to diagnose patients correctly.

As an advanced practice nurse making decisions related to diagnosis and treatment, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the pathophysiology of disorders, as well as factors that influence them. This week, in preparation for your role in evaluating patients, you examine the impact of patient factors on disease. You also explore the pathophysiology of disorders and resulting alterations in cellular function.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Evaluate the impact of patient factors on disease
  • Analyze the pathophysiology of alterations in cellular function
  • Understand and apply key terms, concepts, and principles related to physiology and factors that influence disease

Right to Strike Discussion

Right to Strike [WLOs: 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2]

Strikes may be rare, but it is noteworthy that they have been occurring more frequently in recent years. It is prudent for HR professionals to consider including a strategy for responding to picket lines and protests in their company’s operational plan, especially given the compliance risk and remedies for situations that are not handled properly. In your initial post, analyze whether public employees should have the right to organize and have the right to strike. If yes, what groups should be permitted to have the right to strike and which should not have the same right and why?

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies early during the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in the discussion.
