Create a concept map of a chosen condition, disease, or disorder with glucose regulation or metabolic balance considerations. Write a brief narrative (2–3 pages) that explains why the evidence cited in the concept map and narrative are valuable and relevant, as well as how specific interprofessional strategies will help to improve the outcomes presented in the concept map.
Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you should complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.
The biopsychosocial (BPS) approach to care is a way to view all aspects of a patient’s life. It encourages medical practitioners to take into account not only the physical and biological health of a patient, but all considerations like mood, personality, and socioeconomic characteristics. This course will also explore aspects of pathophysiology, pharmacology, and physical assessment (the three Ps) as they relate to specific conditions, diseases, or disorders.
The first assessment is one in which you will create a concept map to analyze and organize the treatment of a specific patient with a specific condition, disease, or disorder.

Assessment Instructions

Scenario

You have already learned about evidence-based practice and quality improvement initiatives in previous courses. You will use this information to guide your assessments, while also implementing new concepts introduced in this course. For this assessment, you will develop a concept map and provide supporting evidence and explanations. You may use the case studies presented in the Vila Health: Concept Maps as Diagnostic Tools media, a case study from the literature or your practice that is relevant to the list of conditions below, or another relevant case study you have developed. This case study will provide you with the context for creating your concept map. You may also use the practice context from the case study or extrapolate the case study information and data into your own practice setting. Think carefully when you are selecting the case study for this assessment, as you may choose to build upon it for the second assessment as well.
Some example conditions, diseases and disorders that are relevant to metabolic balance and glucose regulation considerations are:

  • Cancer.
  • Diabetes (type 2).
  • HIV/AIDS.
  • Hyperthyroidism.
  • Hypothyroidism.
  • Metabolic syndrome.
  • Obesity.
  • Polycycstic ovary syndrome.
  • Prediabetes.
  • Pregnancy.

Instructions

Develop a concept map and a short narrative that supports and further explains how the concept map is constructed. You may choose to use the Concept Map Template (in the Resources) as a starting point for your concept map, but are not required to do so. The bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your evidence-based plan addresses all of them. You may also want to read the Concept Map scoring guide and the Guiding Questions: Concept Map document to better understand how each grading criterion will be assessed.

Part 1: Concept Map
  • Develop an evidence-based concept map that illustrates a plan for achieving high-quality outcomes for a condition that has impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.
Part 2: Additional Evidence (Narrative)
  • Justify the value and relevance of the evidence you used as the basis for your concept map.
  • Analyze how interprofessional strategies applied to the concept map can lead to achievement of desired outcomes.
  • Construct concept map and linkage to additional evidence in a way that facilitates understanding of key information and links.
  • Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.

Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

  • Assessment 1 Example [PDF].

Additional Requirements

  • Length of submission: Your concept map should be on a single page, if at all possible. You can submit the concept map as a separate file, if you need to. Your additional evidence narrative should be 2–3 double-spaced, typed pages. Your narrative should be succinct yet substantive.
  • Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3–5 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your concept map, decisions made regarding care, and interprofessional strategies. Resources should be no more than five years old.
  • APA formatting:
    • For the concept map portion of this assessment: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style. Please include references both in-text and in the reference page that follows your narrative.
    • For the narrative portion of this assessment: use the APA Paper Template linked in the Resources. An APA Template Tutorial is also provided to help you in writing and formatting your analysis. You do not need to include an abstract for this assessment.

THE NURSE WAS DOCUMENTING THE PATIENTS SHIFT ASSESSMENT IN THE ELECTRONIC CHART A BEST PRACTICE ALERT WOULD POP-UP NOTIFYING THE USER THAT THE PATIENT HAD MET CERTAIN SEPSIS CRITERIA.

Response to nursing discussion board (peer). 150 words 1 reference-within 5 years NURSING JOURNALS ONLY.Cleveland Clinic Florida also implemented a computer-based sepsis-screening tool when I worked in the intensive care unit (ICU). While the nurse was documenting the patients shift assessment in the electronic chart a Best Practice alert would pop-up notifying the user that the patient had met certain sepsis criteria. However the program would alert several times a shift for vital signs and laboratory values that were not really alert worthy. This became a significant obstacle to overcome because alarm fatigue lead everyone to start ignoring the repeated false alerts. Many nurses and physicians started closing down the pop-up boxes without really paying much attention to the values listed. Constant pop-up alerts during a very busy shift became a distraction from the charting and a nuance instead of a helpful aid.After a shared governance meeting our unit was able to discuss the matter with Information Technology (IT) representatives. We were able to customize the alerts so that different criteria was required in order to trigger alerts in the ICU. Meaning if the patient was admitted to a regular floor any value that was suspicious of sepsis would trigger an alert so that the medical-surgical or telemetry nurse would contact the physician. But if the patient was admitted to either the Medical or Surgical Intensive Care Units then more specific criteria was required in order to trigger an alert. Chronic low blood pressures or persistently high heart rates no longer set off numerous Best Practice alert boxes in ICU. After all we were aware that most of the Medical ICU was already septic. Interdisciplinary rounds for every single post-op surgical patient in the ICU was a standard practice which meant the patients labs were reviewed several times a shift by several professionals.Also in certain instances where specific values were extremely abnormal in order to close down the alert the nurse would have to enter a password. This meant that the nurse was accepting responsibility of addressing the abnormal value in some way or another. This accountability was very persuasive in making sure that all nurses and doctors carefully monitored their patients results. In conclusion the obstacle to change was overcome in the ICU by adjusting the electronic charting alerts to meet the needs of the unit.Our sepsis alerts did not set off a pager to the rapid response team like you described. This system made every nurse caring for the patient with abnormal values responsible for those values. I enjoyed learning of how your hospital implemented the system. I feel that would never had happened at my hospital because we were always short staffed with patients that were too high of an acuity level to even think about leaving the unit to check on another patient.

 Students King’s Conceptual System Model of Nursing Essay To Comment on
 
Q. Which theory speaks to your advanced nursing practice? Explain why it speaks directly to your future practice and give specific examples of how you see it fitting into your new role.
Personally, King’s Conceptual System Model spoke the most to my practice both currently as a registered nurse in a Family Practice setting and a future advanced practice nurse (Whetsell, Gonzalez & Moreno-Fergusson, 2018). Her goal of accomplishing with this model was for “happiness and flourishing” (Whetsell et al., 2018). Therefore, she had a more holistic approach considering, human beings and their surrounding circumstances (Whetsell et al., 2018). She concluded that a conceptual model included: “conceptual systems, personal system, interpersonal system, social system, …authority, body image, decision making, growth and development, etc…”(Whetsell et al., 2018).
ORDER YOUR PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW
An article I came across in my search for learning more about this theory, studied the interpersonal relationship as it applies to King’s model with nurses and adult patients (Pereira Borges, Magalhaes Moreira, Braz da Silva, Oliveira Loureiro, & Bezerra de Meneses, 2017). This study concluded that by the nurse and client interacting more allowed the patient/client to be more at ease with their care (Periera Borges et al., 2017). It showed particularly, great results in patients who were agitated with bedrest and felt like social outcast, this theory helped them feel valued, desired and heard (Periera Borges et al., 2017). Another similar case study, with Alzheimers patients reports similar results in their outcomes with nurse to patient interaction using King’s Conceptual Model (Ugur, Orak, Agacdiken, & Yuksel, 2017).
The way I would apply this theory to practice, would to take a holistic approach with my patients. This would include, considering all of the issues addressed in this model: body, mind, heart, image, social issues, surrounding stressor, etc (Whetsell et al., 2018). I will take time to listen to my patients as much as time allows, helping them to feel a valued part of their care. Help them to make well informed decisions. This is how I will apply King’s Conceptual system.

Running Head: CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL
Barbara Maclure
South University Online
Week one Project
Center for Disease Control
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is one of the most outstanding and a very important center in the United States. The function is to provide information to the American population about various diseases and see how to prevent many contagious diseases for control and prevention. Dr. Joseph Mountain was the founder of The Center for Control and Prevention on July 1st in the year 1946. The Center for Control Disease headquarter is in Atlanta Georgia. There almost 500 employers who were mainly engineers and entomologist. The Center for Disease Control was established as an institution that has expanded to investigate many diseases and provide knowledge to prevent many illnesses. The Healthy People has a vision for The Center for Disease Control during the 21st century. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention put many hours into work to help the population to prevent diseases in the 21st century. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention works very hard to make individuals stay healthier and keep individuals safe by putting science in action, which allows the Center for Disease Control to deal with critical health problems through an enormous amount of the correct information, such as charting a definite course of action and work with other people in the community. The Center for Disease control plays a very important role in giving reliable information to individuals to diagnose and prevent diseases (CDC.2017).
The Center for Disease Control sustained and maintained public and private entities which includes thirteen services to the State of Alabama with over 3,000 centers for Disease workers at various locations with approximately 50 Health departments throughout The Center for Disease Control main headquarters in Atlanta Georgia.
There are approximately 125 States that are over seas and 45 nations that are assigned to The Center for Disease Control. Tuberculosis and HIV are infectious diseases that can put a strain on the community resources, threaten nations, and destroy lives. There are other diseases that can spread across the world in hours or days. The Center for Disease Control. The Center for Disease control have employees that travel to foreign countries to investigate diseases and the cause of outbreaks of infectious diseases. (Berros-Torres,rt,al. 2017). The primary protective source of disease outbreaks is the work that the Center for Disease Control does to assist both local and States departments by protecting society from using products and ideas of technology to detect food-borne sickness to evaluate a program for the prevention of family violence and train and educate people regarding HIV and the importance of immunizations of children for prevention of diseases such as polio, measles, mumps, tuberculosis just to name a few. The Center for Disease Control believes that the up-to-date information has little to no meaning unless the information is sensible or easily accessed to individuals that it was designed to serve. The Center for Disease Control improves health decisions to give credible information into the community and to Americans the information involves safety and allows patients to access the best health options in the community daily by using communication through the media and internet (CDC.2017). The Center for Disease Control also provide consultation to international agencies and many nations to assist in the prevention of diseases by control, health promotion and environmental health. The CDC gives assistance and administer health services and categories of grant programs while making certain that the health and wellbeing of Americans are being met. The center for Disease Control provides expert advice and assistance by responding to State, local, Federal, and private organization on matters that are related to prevention and control activities and prevention.
The office of the Center for Disease Control Prevention provides leadership for the CDC being responsible for related diseases participants in the development Of the Center for Diseases Control 1, provide the implementation and control direct leaders, give assistant to the secretary for Surgeon General and health on policies concerning The Center for Control activities. They also develop Center for Control objectives and goals, collaborate with Public Health of worldly health and international activities related to prevention and control of disease (CDC.2017). They provide technical expert opinions to handle consumer affairs for The Center for Disease Control. The program evaluation and program office mission are to make the impact greater in size for effective public health programs through program design and innovation for continuous improvements by bringing different elements of a complex activity within The Center for Disease Control into a relationship that will ensure new initiatives. They also guide the analysis and collection of accountable data and performance that includes the works of Healthy People 2020 and provide harmony performance and measurement by various programs within the Center for Disease Control.
Doctor Joseph Mountain was a public health leader and doctor that came up with a way to convert Malaria control in areas of wars to other agencies to control and monitor the disease. Doctor Alexander Langmuir was employed by The Center for Disease Control as chief epidemiologist. Doctor Langmuir set in motion the disease surveillance program to analyze, disseminate, and collect data for public health care employees. Emory University donated land to the Center for Control Disease that is located on Clifton Road during the year of 1946 to build The Center for Disease Control main headquarters. The Center for Disease Control established a relationship with Dr. Jonas Salk in the early fifties to test the polio vaccination after an outbreak of the disease. There were many other immunizations that the center was testing relating to diseases such as influenza, small pox, and Malaria. In the sixties the center took on other challenges to earn bigger achievements when the research was done to help cure venereal diseases, and tuberculosis when the jet gun vaccination was introduced for testing as a cure for tuberculosis. The Center for Control Disease Prevention has many missions and responsibilities to combat diseases, and the center has taken on many responsibilities since the year 1946 (Tharian.2018).
