Title of Assignment:
Module 6: Endocrine pathophysiology
Purpose of Assignment:
Complications from endocrine disorders can result in wide systemic effects. Analyzing disorders related to endocrine for the nurse is complex and orders provided to treat the client’s condition can sometimes be puzzling. Consideration of an endocrine case study will help the student learn the complexities of understanding the pathophysiology of an endocrine disorder
Course Competency(s):
· Determine pathophysiologic alterations that affect the reproductive and endocrine systems
Content:
Diabetes case study
A 21-year old female (A.M) presents to the urgent care clinic with symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever for 3 days. She states that she has Type I diabetes and has not been managing her blood sugars since she’s been ill and unable to keep any food down. She’s only tolerated sips of water and juices. Since she’s also been unable to eat, she hasn’t taken any insulin as directed. While helping A.M. from the lobby to the examining room you note that she’s unsteady, note that her skin in warm and flushed and that she’s drowsy. You also note that she’s breathing rapidly and smell a slight sweet/fruity odor. A.M. has a challenge answering questions but keeps asking for water to drink.
You get more information from A.M. and learn
· She had some readings on her glucometer which were reading ‘high’
· She vomits almost every time she takes in fluid
· She hasn’t voided for a day but voided a great deal the day before
· She’s been sleeping long hours and finally woke up this morning and decided to seek care
 
Current labs and vital signs:
1. What is the pathophysiology for the condition you believe A.M. has?
2. Relate the etiology and clinical manifestations for the condition you identified for A.M.
 
The practitioner at the urgent care facility makes the decision that A.M. needs to go to the hospital by ambulance. Once at the Emergency Department (ED), the ED physician orders these items:
a. 1000 ml Lactated Ringer’s (LR) IV stat
b. 36 units NPH (Humulin N) and 20 units regular (Humulin R) insulin SQ now
c. CBC with differential; CMP: blood cultures X2 sites; clean-catch urine for UA and C&S; stool for ova and parasites; Clostridium difficile toxin, and C&S; serum lactate; ketone; osmolality; ABGs on room air
d. 1800 calorie, carbohydrate controlled diet
e. Bed rest
f. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 650 mg orally Q4 hrs PRN
g. Furosemide (Lasix) 60 mg IV push now
h. Urinary output every hour
i. VS every shift
The orders above — which are questionable related to her condition and which are appropriate?
3. What are the expected treatments for this condition?
Instructions:
Summarize the questions above and formulate what may be happening with A.M. and how you would improve her condition.
 
 
 
Use at least one scholarly source to support your findings. Examples of scholarly sources include academic journals, textbooks, reference texts, and CINAHL nursing guides. Be sure to cite your sources in-text and on a References page using APA format.

The management of Pacific Wellness Centre, a health food company, recently wants to analyze the cost of two of its famous customized products.

The management of Pacific Wellness Centre, a health food company, recently wants to analyze the cost of two of its famous customized products. The customization is not so much on the content but rather on the packaging as some of the firms wants their firm’s logo on the package. In analyzing these products, the management accountant has identified the following data for a typical month in a year. Activity/ResourcesCost-Driver BaseActivity Cost in a Typical MonthActivity Volume in a Typical Month1.

[Show ALL relevant calculations – use appropriate tables to present your solutions](20 marks)2.Assume that the company’s traditional costing system had assigned overhead costs at a rate of $0.10 per unit of output plus $20.00 per direct labour hour. Overhead costs are the sum of the batch-level, product-level, customer -level, and facility-level costs.  Using this traditional costing approach, compute the cost for each product (including material and direct-labor costs) given the activity level for the month of August. Compute both the total cost and unit cost for each product for the month of August. [Show ALL relevant calculations – use appropriate tables to present your solutions](10 marks)3.Do the units costs of the two products computed under ABC and traditional costing systems differ significantly? If so, what causes the differences?(5 marks)4.You have just discovered that the product manager of Fruity Bar has been less than honest in reporting the number of direct-labor hours used. In checking the payroll records, you discover that 2,000 direct-labor hours ($20,000 direct-labor costs) actually were used in August to produce Fruity Bar, not 1,600 hours as the product manager reported. Why might the product manager of Fruity Bar have understated the number of direct-labor hours used to produce it? (Assume traditional costing is used).       (5 marks)

Biosurveillance Algorithms

500 WORDS not including min 4 references
 
Biosurveillance Algorithms
Different diseases may share many of the same symptoms. Because diseases have a broad range of symptoms (many of which overlap), biosurveillance algorithms must be constructed to identify those indicators that can (individually or in some combination) accurately discriminate the presence or absence of the condition of interest, properly monitor those indicators, and provide reliable output on each specific disease’s trends. Matching the process of analyzing the data with the necessary types of data is of utmost importance when trying to obtain an early identification of a health event with minimum false positives.
To prepare for this Discussion,select an infectious disease or condition. Consider the best approach/algorithm to monitor the disease or condition you selected. Determine the number and type of covariates the algorithm should have.
Post a description of the algorithm that you think would best monitor the disease/condition you selected. Explain which covariates you would include in the algorithm. Finally, explain the limitations of the algorithm and the implications for public health.
Support your suggestions with additional scholarly resources

Key Elements of a Research Proposal

Epidemiology /Nursing

 Details:
Asthma is a chronic lung disease caused by inflammation of the  lower airways and episodes of airflow obstruction. Asthma episodes or  attacks can vary from mild to life-threatening. In 2007, about 7%  percent of the U.S. population was diagnosed with asthma and there have  been a growing number of new cases since that time. There are several  known risk factors identified as triggers of asthma symptoms and  episodes, including inhalation of allergens or pollutants, infection,  cold air, vigorous exercise, and emotional upsets. There is also growing  evidence relating body-mass index to asthma in both children and  adults. Design a study to investigate whether there is such an  association.
Choose a study design and justify the reasons you chose the design over others.
Select a statistical measure you would use to describe the association (if there is one) between body mass index and asthma.
In addition, address:

  1. Subject selection
  2. Issues relating to the measurement of both the exposure and the outcome
  3. Potential biases that the study might be prone to, and how they might be handled
  4. Possible confounding factors and effect modifiers and how to overcome their effect

Present the information in a 750-1000-word report, using section  headings where each requirement is described and justified under each of  the following headings: Study Design, Statistical Measures, Subject  Selection, and Measurement Issues.
Refer to the “Key Elements of a Research Proposal.”
You are required to use a minimum of three scholarly resources.
Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide.  You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.
