Personal Essay
Your Personal Essay should
address why you selected pharmacy as a career and how the Doctor of Pharmacy
degree relates to your immediate and long-term professional goals. Describe how
your personal, educational, and professional background will help you achieve
your goals. The personal essay is an important part of your application for
admission and provides you with an opportunity for you to express your ideas
clearly and effectively.
You are limited to
approximately 1 page (4500 characters, including spaces). Some formatting
characters used in programs like Word (angled quotes, accents, special

I also added the template that you will need for both questions 
Using what you learned in both the HPI/ROS/PE lectures, try your hand at these two examples. You are expected to do a full SOAP note! The Assessment/Plan sections are pretty straight forward and you can peek ahead in your chapter for some guidance. Both scenarios are video-based and you’ll need to practice taking notes in real time. 
It is suggested that you use a similar template to the file below to organize your note. Delete entries as needed to accommodate your clinical scenario.

Understanding
the role technology plays in advanced primary care to vulnerable populations is
vital to ensure proper and timely diagnosis and treatment to improve healthcare
outcomes for the patient. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate one
global burden of disease OR risk factor in the family population (pediatric,
adult, or geriatric) and explore one current evidence-based technology use that
can offer improvement of outcomes and access to the population chosen.
This
assignment will focus on the following course student learning outcomes (CSLO):
1.         Generate knowledge from clinical
practice to improve practice and patient outcomes (EOPSLO# 4, 9).
2.         Leads practice inquiry, individually or
in partnership with others (EOPSLO# 2, 3, 4, 7).
3.         Translates research and other forms of
knowledge to improve practice processes and outcomes (EOPSLO# 9).
4.         Evaluate the relationships among
access, cost, quality, and safety and their influence on healthcare (EOPSLO# 3,
6, 9).
5.         Collaborates in planning for
transitions across the continuum of care (EOPSLO# 2, 7).
6.         Integrates ethical principles in
decision-making (EOPSLO# 6, 9).
7.         Integrates appropriate technologies for
knowledge management to improve healthcare (EOPSLO# 5).
8.         Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan
of care for the family, as well as the individual, and implement changes
(EOPSLO# 8).
Instructions: Please choose one global burden
of disease and one population (adult, pediatric, or geriatric). Once the
population is chosen, find one evidence-based technology to help support the
improvement of outcomes in the global burden of disease chosen.
You are
to write a three-to-five-page paper in APA format 7th edition with the
following sections and level 2 headings:

Objective
The purpose of the case study is to allow you to analyze information retained over the duration of the sterile processing program and apply that knowledge obtained to provide specific solutions to common issues that may occur within the sterile processing department.
Instructions
Choose two of the four topics listed below:
Decontamination Principles
Sterilization Methods
Once the two case studies are chosen, answer the questions using your own vocabulary and address the conflicts or issues with solutions specific to your topics of choice. You will utilize your text or other credible sources from the internet to build a thorough paper that contains at least eight main ideas with supporting details regarding the topic chosen and a minimum of three credible references. The paper must be written in APA format with a title page, introduction, body, conclusion, and reference page. Please refer to the rubric regarding specific grading criteria.
1. Decontamination Principles:
Dr. Sarmiento is a well-known neurosurgeon at Baptist Medical Center. He is known for working on complex cases that involve the spine and other neurological tissues. This past week, his private scrub tech has discovered that dirty neurological instruments have made it into the OR. The technician consults with the patient care manager of surgical services because the incident has been reoccurring over the past few months. With this knowledge, respond to the following questions:
What issue(s) have occurred, and what may be the cause of these errors?
What other additional considerations may the sterile processing tech need to take with instruments exposed to neurological tissues?
What might the sterile processing department have to do to resolve this issue?
Thoroughly explain the decontamination process. What steps should take place in the OR? In SPD? Why is cleaning considered the cornerstone of instrument processing?
2. Sterilization Methods:
Kristine, a technician in the sterile processing department, has noticed that after the sterilization of surgical equipment and supplies that at least two out of every four loads sterilized for the day have been moist. She has consulted with her supervisor on effective ways in which she could troubleshoot the concerns with wet loads because it has now affected the department’s work efficiency and quality control.
Define a wet pack.
Define a wet load.
Why might the loads be wet? Provide at least three unique causes.
What solutions can Kristine apply to ensure that the processed instrument sets aren’t wet?
Discuss how this issue can affect both the operating room and the sterile processing department. How should Kristine handle the wet packages to ensure quality control?
Please review the rubric to see how you will be graded for this final project. Ensure that all of these areas are covered to ensure the best achievable score. Before submitting your assignment, check your work using Grammarly.

You’ll be graded using the following rubric.

After you finish your readings for this week, choose any one relatively common disease or problem that can affect the gastrointestinal organ system.  What are the risk factors for developing this problem?  How can this problem be diagnosed?  How might it be treated?  Have you, yourself, ever experienced any common GI organ system problem?

a. Analyze Chapter 6 : community engagement and partnership. 
b. Write an essay with a  Minimum 250 words, 1 cite and 1 reference. APA 7th edition guidelines.

Within the Discussion Board area, write 200–250 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. 
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
A SOAP note is a concise way of organizing information on a patient’s situation for verbal or written report between healthcare providers. SOAP is an acronym that stands for subjective, objective, assessment, and plan. A SOAP note should include information relevant to the patient’s current situation, as well as the patient’s medical history.
Answer the following questions using this SOAP note and this high-risk influenza resource without sharing HIPAA- protected information:
Identify the symptoms of influenza, discussing whether or not you believe the condition is currently acute or chronic. 
Describe why this patient may be high risk based on this diagnosis using personal or professional experience. Share which high risk conditions for influenza you were aware of and which you were surprised by.
