Asthma and Stepwise Management

Question Description

APA FORMAT PLEASE ASSIGNMENT, TWO PAGES PLEASE

Assignment: 
Asthma and Stepwise Management

Asthma is a respiratory disorder that affects children and adults. Advanced practice nurses often provide treatment to patients with these disorders. Sometimes patients require immediate treatment making it essential that you recognize and distinguish minor asthma symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, advanced practice nurses must also help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate management options. Like many other disorders, there are various approaches to treating and managing care for asthmatic patients depending on individual patient factors. One method that supports the clinical decision-making of drug therapy plans for asthmatic patients is the stepwise approach, which you explore in this Assignment.

To prepare:
  • Consider drugs used to treat asthmatic patients including long-term control and quick relief treatment options for patients. Think about the impact these drugs might have on patients including adults and children.
  • Review Chapter 25 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text. Reflect on using the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management.
  • Consider how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.

BY DAY 7

Write a 2- page paper that addresses the following:

  • Describe long-term control and quick relief treatment options for asthma patients, as well as the impact these drugs might have on patients.
  • Explain the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management.
  • Explain how stepwise management assists health care providers and patients in gaining and maintaining control of the disease.

Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

Week 4: Respiratory System

In the United States, 12 million people suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, n.d.), and about 25 million people suffer from asthma (CDC, 2011). Since various symptoms are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, and other common respiratory disorders, a single patient might be prescribed multiple drugs for treatment. Consider an 8-year-old asthmatic patient who frequently presents with acute asthma exacerbations that are triggered by seasonal allergies. As a result of his disorder, he might be prescribed albuterol to treat asthma attacks and Clarinex to treat allergic reactions. This requires you, as the advanced practice nurse, to be aware of risks of polypharmacy and patient factors that impact the effects of drugs.

This week you examine types of drugs prescribed to patients with respiratory disorders, as well as the impact of patient factors on the effects of drugs. You also explore ways to improve patient treatment plans including suggested drug therapies. Finally, you examine asthma treatment and management.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this week, students will:
  • Analyze types of drugs prescribed to treat respiratory disorders
  • Evaluate the impact of patient factors on the effects of prescribed drugs for respiratory disorders
  • Evaluate drug therapy plans for respiratory disorders
  • Assess the impact of asthma treatments on patients
  • Analyze the stepwise approach to asthma treatment and management
  • Understand and apply key terms, concepts, and principles related to prescribing drugs to treat respiratory disorders

how sociological principles and concepts on deviance operate outside the classroom and in everyday life.

 Psychology homework help
FINAL PROJECT
The purpose of the project is to see how sociological principles and concepts on deviance operate outside the classroom and in everyday life.
You are to interview someone on or off campus about any topic in deviance that most interests you and ask him/her questions about the extent to which they have participated in that form of deviance. If you prefer, you may interview yourself and then reflect on the deviance in which you have participated. If you choose this latter option, you must still do the paper as it is required to be done; it doesn’t change the assignment.
First, frame a set of issues, concerns, and questions you would like to address in the interview. Tape the interview if at all possible and only if the person agrees to it. Transcribe the interview. Analyze the interview for major themes. You will need to turn in a copy of the interview transcript. Please note that the transcription of your interview does not count as part of the final paper; the final paper is meant to be an analysis linking together the findings and patterns from your interview with course materials.
If the person you interview is connected to a particular organization, you may want to ask this person if you can spend any time there or if they will be sponsoring any events or meetings or sessions you can attend.
Draw on course material wherever possible in your project. It is more important that you draw on our course material rather than rely on materials from other classes or from library or Internet research. I trust that you will agree that we have plenty of rich material to work with right here.
A very successful paper will be one that analyzes and makes sense of themes that run through the entire semester. You must fully and sensitively master, think through, and expand on the central concepts and questions of the semester, make use of relevant theoretical concepts, and stay grounded in our course readings, discussions, and films. I am interested in how you demonstrate your own ability to think critically. Avoid using very long quotations and close paraphrasing of the readings. Some quoting is indeed very important though to support your points where applicable. I am most interested in how you discuss and interpret ideas in your own words. When citing any sources, please document these carefully and be consistent throughout.
Your papers must be no more than four pages, double-spaced, with page numbers, in 12 Point Times font, black ink, and with one inch margins.
