Instruction:
Choose an epidemiology graph of a chronic disease of your choice in a developing country from a peer reviewed resource.
Explain in one (1) paragraph why you chose that graph. A paragraph is minimum of three sentences. Describe in one (1) paragraph what the graph is illustrating.
Last paragraph should explain how the data from that graph may forecast the future of that disease and country.
Be sure to include the graph in your document on a separate page.
This assignment should be a minimum of 2 pages, one page with the written information (See items 2,3 and 4). The other page should include the graph with reference to where the graph was obtained from. https://guides.himmelfarb.gwu.edu/APA/image-electronic

Purpose: Analyze and apply critical thinking skills in the psychopathology of mental health patients and provide treatment and health promotion while applying evidence-based research.
Scenario:
J.T.  is a 20 year-old who reports to you that he feels depressed and is experiencing a significant amount of stress about school, noting that he’ll “probably flunk out.” He spends much of his day in his dorm room playing video games and has a hard time identifying what, if anything, is enjoyable in a typical day. He rarely attends class and has avoided reaching out to his professors to try to salvage his grades this semester. J.T. has always been a self-described shy person and has had a very small and cohesive group of friends from elementary through high school. Notably, his level of stress significantly amplified when he began college.
You learn that when meeting new people, he has a hard time concentrating on the interaction because he is busy worrying about what they will think of him – he assumes they will find him “dumb,” “boring,” or a “loser.” When he loses his concentration, he stutters, is at a loss for words, and starts to sweat, which only serves to make him feel more uneasy. After the interaction, he replays the conversation over and over again, focusing on the “stupid” things he said. Similarly, he has a long-standing history of being uncomfortable with authority figures and has had a hard time raising his hand in class and approaching teachers. Since starting college, he has been isolating more, turning down invitations from his roommate to go eat or hang out, ignoring his cell phone when it rings, and habitually skipping class. His concerns about how others view him are what drive him to engage in these avoidance behaviors.
Questions:
Remember to answer these questions from your textbooks and NP guidelines. At all times, explain your answers. 
Generate a primary and differential diagnosis using the DSM-5 criteria.
Develop a biopsychosocial plan of care for this client.
Compare and contrast fear, worry, anxiety, and panic.
Submission Instructions:
Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.  Your initial post is worth 8 points.

ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW
As a nurse leader, you will be called upon to collect and analyze data, then to use the data to drive change.
For this assignment, you will be presented with two sets of data. Both sets are representative of the occurrence of pressure ulcers in long-stay nursing home patients.
One set of data (NHQDR) represents national data as compared to the state of Georgia.
The second data set (Medicare.gov) is specific for the nursing home in Georgia where you are the supervisor. View and interpret the data specific to pressure injury rates.

Part 1: Interpret the Data:
Using the data provided to you, answer the following questions. Record your answers on a Word document. 
As the supervisor of this nursing home, how do you interpret this data? What is it telling you? Give specific examples in your comparison of the data sets.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the data? Give at least one example of each.
“Any stage 3, stage 4, or unstageable pressure ulcers acquired after admission/presentation to a health care setting” (National Quality Forum, 2016) is considered a ‘Never Event’. What is a ‘Never Event’? What does that mean to your facility? (https://psnet.ahrq.gov/primer/never-events#:~:text=The%20term%20%22Never%20Event%22%20was,surgery%E2%80%94that%20should%20never%20occurLinks to an external site..)
Part 2: Create an In-Service:
As the nursing home supervisor, you recognize the need for a process improvement plan based on this data. After speaking to your staff about best practices related to care of the immobilized client, you discover your facility has not been stocking skin barrier cream, and the UAPs have not been repositioning the residents per policy. Instead of taking disciplinary action against the staff at this time, you elect to implement an intensive education effort for the entire facility. RNs, LPNs, and UAPs will attend the same training. 
Research and devise a comprehensive education plan to address the frequency of pressure injuries at your facility. The teaching plan should include, at a minimum:
The proper use of barrier cream (How and when is it applied? Who can apply it?) 
A minimum of 6 specific complications of immobility (Do not list ‘respiratory complications’. Be specific).
A minimum of 6 interventions to prevent the complications
Proper ergonomics while moving or repositioning clients
A plan to follow-up with your staff to assess the effectiveness of your in-service should also be included. How will you know your interventions were effective? What will you do if you find they were not?
Submission Guidelines:
Submit Parts 1 and 2 at the same time as part of the same project.
Give credit to your sources using APA 7th edition format.
Use both in-text citations and a reference page.
