DQ#2 According to Lichtman (2011), “The Federal Government requires each nursing home facility to have a governing body, or designated persons functioning as a governing body” (para. 1). The governing body of a nursing home setting may be referred to as the board of directors, board of trustees, or “the board” (Singh, 2016, p. 332). Although it is necessary for both the board and the nursing home administrator (NHA) to have a good working relationship, they both serve their purpose for different responsibilities, and if there is lack of communication from either side, organizational functions, care quality, and employee morale will suffer as a result. The board functions include appointing a NHA, reviewing his or her performance, assisting the NHA in establishing goals and objectives that are in-line with the organization’s mission and vision, ensuring facility’s compliance, and establishing guidelines and support for the NHA, as well as policies to protect patient rights (Singh, 2016, p. 333). According to Singh (2016), “The NHA acts as the agent of the board and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the nursing facility” (p. 334). In other words, the NHA manages the business, employees, and represents the organization in the community. Because the board depends on the NHA to carry out tasks, and the NHA depends on the board for support and guidance, it is critical for the relationship to be positive with good interaction and communication.

In reference to paper mechanics, the paper should be exactly two and a half pages in length, be double-spaced, use Times New Roman, twelve-inch font, have one-inch margins, and include a cover page. Assignment headings, such as the student’s name, date, and course name, should appear on a separate page (not within the two and half page paper requirement). In addition, enlarged headings or margins or extra spacing between lines or paragraphs are not included in the page requirement. Please do not use any direct quotes in the paper, as papers with direct quotes will not be graded. Be cautious of relying exclusively on Websites with banks of cases that have already been briefed or outlined. This has been an issue in the past. Papers that strongly reflect writing posted online (e.g., quotes or exact statements) will be suspect of academic misconduct, and will be reported to the UTEP Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution. That is, do not copy and paste statements from court opinions or case briefs that are posted on legal Websites or blogs. The paper is due as an electronic copy on the Blackboard assignment submission link by Monday, November 9th.

Nursing Essay HelpPJ is a sixty-seven-year-old man with a long history of stable angina. He is treated with nitroglycerin tablets as needed for chest pain
UncategorizedPJ is a sixty-seven-year-old man with a long history of stable angina. He is treated with nitroglycerin tablets as needed for chest pain. He has mild hypertension, which is well controlled by diet and an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. PJ has noticed that his chest pain is occurring with increasing frequency and less activity is required to initiate the symptoms; however, the pain subsides quickly with rest and one or two nitroglycerin tablets.
PJ’s symptoms are consistent with what diagnosis? What education would you provide to PJ?
One morning, at about 4:00 a.m., PJ is awakened from sleep with chest pain and shortness of breath. The pain is much more severe than his usual anginal pain and radiates to the jaw and the left arm. He is diaphoretic and pale. His wife calls for emergency assistance, and PJ is transported to the local emergency department. Upon admission, the electrocardiogram (ECG) shows significant ST-segment elevation.
According to the ECG findings, what is the differential diagnosis? At the time of admission, a blood sample is taken to determine whether PJ has suffered an MI. Which laboratory findings would indicate MI? Describe the pathophysiological responses occurring in the body during an MI.

UncategorizedMost patients with mental health disorders are not aggressive. However, it is important for nurses to be able to know the signs and symptoms associated with the five phases of aggression, and to appropriately apply nursing interventions to assist in treating aggressive patients. Please read the case study below and answer the four questions related to it.
Aggression Case Study
Christopher, who is 14 years of age, was recently admitted to the hospital for schizophrenia. He has a history of aggressive behavior and states that the devil is telling him to kill all adults because they want to hurt him. Christopher has a history of recidivism and noncompliance with his medications. One day on the unit, the nurse observes Christopher displaying hypervigilant behaviors, pacing back and forth down the hallway, and speaking to himself under his breath. As the nurse runs over to Christopher to talk, he sees that his bedroom door is open and runs into his room and shuts the door. The nurse responds by attempting to open the door, but Christopher keeps pulling the door shut and tells the nurse that if the nurse comes in the room he will choke the nurse. The nurse responds by calling other staff to assist with the situation.
1. What phase of the aggression cycle is Christopher in at the beginning of this scenario? What phase is he in at the end the scenario? (State the evidence that supports your answers).
2. What interventions could have been implemented to prevent Christopher from escalating at the beginning of the scenario?
3. What interventions should the nurse take to deescalate the situation when Christopher is refusing to open his door?
4. If a restrictive intervention (restraint/seclusion) is used, what are some important steps for the nurse to remember?
