The RN is updating the plan of care for a patient with a medical diagnosis of pneumonia. The patient was admitted yesterday, with a respiratory rate of 28, crackles in the right middle and lower lobes, a dry cough, and oxygen saturation of 90% on room air. The patient was using a bedside commode until earlier today, because of shortness of breath with any activity. The following nursing diagnoses and outcomes were included in the plan of care at the time of admission:

Nursing diagnosis: Impaired gas exchange related to ventilation perfusion imbalance as evidenced by oxygen saturation of 90%.

Expected outcome: Patient will demonstrate oxygen saturation greater than 95% within 24 hours.

Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective airway clearance related to retained secretions as evidenced by crackles in the right middle and lower lobes.

Expected outcome: Patient will demonstrate clear breath sounds in bilateral upper and lower lobes within 24 hours.

Nursing diagnosis: Ineffective breathing pattern related to hyperventilation as evidenced by shortness of breath and RR of 28 breaths per minute.

Expected outcome: Patient will demonstrate RR between 12-20 breaths per minute within 24 hours.

Nursing diagnosis: Activity intolerance related to imbalance between oxygen supply and demand as evidenced by shortness of breath when ambulating.

Expected outcome: Patient will demonstrate no shortness of breath with ambulation within 24 hours.

The patient has been receiving treatment for the past 24 hours, and currently has a respiratory rate of 20 breaths per minute, crackles in the right lower lobe, breath sounds clear in all other lobes, oxygen saturation of 94% on 2 liters of oxygen via nasal cannula, and denied shortness of breath when ambulating to the bathroom an hour ago.

Initial Discussion Post:

  • How will the RN update the plan of care?
  • Include one intervention to address each of the nursing diagnoses that are still applicable.
  • What criteria will be used to determine if the remaining applicable nursing diagnoses have resolved?

Base your initial post on your readings and research of this topic.Your initial post must contain a minimum of 250 words. References, citations, and repeating the question do not count towards the 250 word minimum.

Please make sure that it is your own and not copy and paste off of someone else work. Make sure you watch out for spelling and grammar errors. Please read the study guide. This is a DBA course and needs to be done on this level.

You have been tasked with creating a transition plan for REM closing its production facilities in three rural areas. The plan will involve assisting workers in finding other work, offering retraining, offering a severance package, or assisting in relocation to a new facility. Thinking about the corporate social responsibility topics from our readings, what will your main concerns be regarding human resources and leaving the communities that have supported the company for so many years? How will you incorporate these concerns in your transition plan?

Purpose: Discussion class 505 .Unit 1

Things to remember:

Discussion post is at least 200 words.

Answers all questions with opinions/ideas creatively and clearly. Supports post using several outside, peer-reviewed sources.

3 References, try to find resources that are 5 years or less

No errors with APA format 6thEdition

To Discuss:

Clinical inquiry will be expressed in the PICOT format (review your text on this):

· Population

· Intervention

· Comparison

· Outcome

· Time

In order to avoid going insane, it is a good idea to use your practice setting as a starting place. Think about some of the things that you do and why you do them. Is there a better way? Are your patient’s experiencing outcomes that are less than optimal? Might there be more effective interventions?

Elements of your PICOT should be narrow and specific. For example: for population, using MedSurg patients is much too general. Be specific. A good example of a specific population would be geriatric patients status post total knee replacement.

https://kaplan.brightspace.com/content/enforced/39849-042-1705C-MN504-01-2316289/topic%202.jpg?_&d2lSessionVal=XTm6OlZv3ngt2oMPvPGURYfky

After you have identifed your clinical inquiry, you need to look for any evidence you can find (at the library) to support the practice or on which to base a practice change. Post your PICOT and evidence by Sunday night.

Please–no topics involving patient falls or handwashing, unless of course these are a VERYserious issue at your practice sight.

Keep in mind that your clinical inquiry will be refined and even possibly change completely during the course of this term. It does not have to be perfect this week. I will give you feedback on your Unit 1 Discussion Topic 2 in order to help get you off on the right track.

Getting Started
The cycle of poverty has been described as a phenomenon where poor families become trapped in poverty for generations. Because they have no or limited access to critical resources, such as education and financial services, subsequent generations are also impoverished. How we can break this cycle of poverty? In most cases, the cycle of poverty is systemic in nature, meaning action needs to be taken to combat the root causes of poverty. Through leadership in the policy arena, social workers can assist in the development and implementation of policy to advance human rights as well as social, economic, and environmental justice for disenfranchised populations.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
Analyze policies with regard to advancement of human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice. (PO 5, ILO 5)
Demonstrate character, scholarship, and leadership in becoming a world changer through application to personal life and professional social work practice.
Demonstrate Christ-like attitudes, values, worldviews, and ethical and professional behavior within advanced clinical practice. (ILO 1)

Background Information
Poverty is the root of many problems and can seem impossible to fight. In this assignment, you will watch a video about activists and individuals fighting poverty in West Virginia. The video highlights ways those in the social services profession can engage in the plight of others.
 
Instructions
Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
Watch the 35-minute video, Segments 1–9, “Breaking the Cycle of Poverty,”. Transcript is available on the video site. (If you are not already logged in to the Off-Campus Library Services (OCLS) website, you will be prompted to enter your MyIWU login and password.)
For the first question of this discussion please identify what policy you will be analyzing during this course.
Navigate to the threaded discussion and respond to three of the following question sets:
What insights did the video give you into poverty in the United States? Were you aware of the economic, social, and educational challenges in communities across the country? What information surprised you the most?
In the video, Nicholas Kristof refers to the “invisibility” of poverty in this country. Do you agree that poverty is an invisible issue in the United States? When you encounter reporting about poverty, how are the stories told? Who are the subjects? What parts of the world are featured? Do you see poverty in your community? If so, what does it look like?
In the video, Truffles did not discover that her son Johnny was nearly deaf until he was 18 months old. Why do you think his condition went unnoticed for so long? What factors do you think cause children in poor communities to be at greater risk for health problems?
Evidence suggests that home visitation programs help improve early childhood development. What other changes need to happen at the policy level to ensure that the most vulnerable children in our society don’t slip through the cracks?
In this country, how aware do you think most people are of the issues presented in the film? Why do you think people may not be more aware? What can be done to raise the profile of these issues?
Which story or issue resonated most deeply with you? Why?
What actions do you think you can take as an individual or as a group to make a difference in addressing one or more of the issues in the video?
Sometimes we see something that moves us and we are momentarily inspired to act. Often, though, that momentum gives way as we move back into thinking about our daily lives. What can we do to maintain awareness of our wider world and particularly the inspiration we feel to make a difference?
Your initial post is due by the end of the fourth day of the workshop.
Read and respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings, as well as all instructor follow-up questions directed to you, by the end of the workshop.
Your postings also should:
Be well developed by providing clear answers with evidence of critical thinking by providing evidence from workshop resources to support responses (with APA citation).
Add greater depth to the discussion by introducing new ideas.
Provide clarification to classmates’ questions and provide insight into the discussion.
Be posted on two different days during the workshop.
Review the rubric that your instructor will use to evaluate your work. Self-assess your initial post and response using the rubric and make improvements as needed to meet expectations and ensure that your work fulfills all the requirements

Evaluation of Argument Essay Prompt: Which of the two writers we studied for this unit do you believe makes the most effective argument, Schumaker or Twenge? Write a paper developing your position on the strongest argument of the two. You should start with some pre-writing on the issue to discover your position and the criteria (standards) you will use. Then once you have a thesis decide on what reasons you will give for its support. These reasons will be your topics sentences in body paragraphs. The introduction should help your paper read as a stand-along essay rather than as a mere response to a question asked by a professor. Then flesh out examples and evidence for each body paragraph and write the first draft. Put it aside and return to it a couple of days later to see whether there is a clear thesis, whether each paragraph has a topic sentence (reason) that supports the thesis, and whether evidence in each paragraph relates to the topic sentence. Check transitions, word choice, and edit and proofread. Follow the guidelines for format in the syllabus. Upload the paper for peer and self-assessment by the set deadline. You will then go through the assessment activity, and finally upload the revised paper by the stated deadline. Structure: You can choose any of the two articles you want, but make sure you are clear in your choice and the reasons for choosing it. Also, be fair—since the essay you did not choose has some great strength also, acknowledge it. Or, you can instead choose to acknowledge some weakness your own choice has (or do both in the concession paragraph). Of course, being fair does not mean being ambivalent. You will still make it clear you find your choice the strongest. Sources: The two articles will be the sources you will use for this paper, with no other sources needed or expected. You will create a works cited page entry for it with the two articles. For whatever you use in your essay from the articles, put it in quotation marks and indicate the page number in parenthesis, or if you paraphrase it or use an idea from it put just the page number in the parenthesis. Audience: Your audience will be readers who are considering which of the two articles to include in a college textbook and who are leaning toward the opposite selection of the one you made. Length: Papers should be at least 900 words (minimum) Grading: I will grade you on the following criteria: Element Points A clear structure with a thesis in the introduction, topic sentences for each body paragraph, and conclusion; the title, introduction, and conclusion are engaging. 15 The paper clearly reaches out to its audience.
