  • Understanding the Pathophysiology, Prevention, and Treatment of Albinism Title: Albinism: Unraveling its Pathophysiology, Prevention, and Treatment Introduction: Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 1

    your disease that you are researching is albinism
    This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition. You should show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________.”
    Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature.
    Treatment: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition.
    Conclusion: Finally you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a conclusion where you wrap up and summarize all of the important points made in your paper.

  • Differential Diagnoses and Comprehensive Plan of Care for a Pediatric Patient with Asthma, Eczema, and Ear Pain “Improving Quality of Life for Timothy: Managing Eczema and Asthma to Prevent Future Exacerbations”

    Length: A minimum of 180 words per post, not including references
    Citations: At least two high-level scholarly reference in APA per post from within the last 5 years
    Relate to another journal reading
    Differential Diagnoses for Cough
    Acute Bronchitis: Given Timothy’s history of asthma, exposure to triggers could have led to inflammation of the bronchial tubes, resulting in coughing. It typically presents with a productive cough, but in asthmatic patients, it might be non-productive initially.
    Pneumonia: Though there’s no fever reported, pneumonia can present without fever in certain cases, especially in children or those with compromised immune systems. The cough could be a result of a lower respiratory tract infection (de Oliveira et al., 2018).
    Allergic Rhinitis: Timothy’s cough could also be due to allergic rhinitis, especially considering his history of asthma. Allergens can trigger inflammation in the nasal passages, leading to post-nasal drip and subsequent coughing (de Oliveira et al., 2018).
    Differential Diagnoses for Right Ear Pain
    Otitis Media: The ear pain could be indicative of otitis media, an infection of the middle ear. Children with asthma are at a higher risk for otitis media, and it often presents with ear pain, especially after upper respiratory tract infections.
    Otitis Externa: Also known as swimmer’s ear, otitis externa is an infection of the outer ear canal. It can cause ear pain, itching, and redness. If Timothy has been swimming recently, this could be a possibility.
    Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction: TMJ dysfunction can sometimes manifest as ear pain, especially in children who may be prone to grinding their teeth or clenching their jaw due to stress or discomfort (Bernkopf et al., 2022).
    Differential Diagnoses for Dry, Scaly Patches
    Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Dry, scaly patches behind the knees and on the elbows are classic locations for atopic dermatitis, especially in children with a history of asthma or allergies.
    Psoriasis: Psoriasis can present with dry, scaly patches on the skin, commonly found on the elbows and knees. While less common in children, it’s still a possibility, especially with a family history of psoriasis.
    Contact Dermatitis: If Timothy has come into contact with any irritants or allergens, it could result in contact dermatitis, presenting as dry, scaly patches on the skin.
    Most Likely Final Diagnosis: Considering Timothy’s history of asthma, the most likely final diagnosis that encompasses all his symptoms is Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema). It explains his cough (associated with asthma), right ear pain (which can be related to atopy), and the presence of dry, scaly patches on his skin (de Oliveira et al., 2018).
    Comprehensive Plan of Care:
    Prescription Details:Topical Corticosteroid Cream: Apply a thin layer to affected areas twice daily for two weeks, then once daily for two weeks.
    Antihistamine Syrup: Take 5ml orally once daily at bedtime for relief from itching and to aid sleep.
    Albuterol Inhaler: Prescribe a new albuterol inhaler for Timothy’s asthma, with instructions to use as needed according to his previous regimen.
    Patient Teaching:Instruct Timothy and his mother on the proper application of the topical corticosteroid cream, emphasizing the importance of using a thin layer and avoiding excessive use.
    Educate them on triggers for asthma and eczema and how to avoid them (e.g., allergens, and irritants).
    Teach proper inhaler technique for Timothy’s albuterol inhaler and ensure they understand when and how to use it.
    Guide skincare practices to help manage eczema, including using gentle cleansers, moisturizing regularly, and avoiding hot baths or showers.
    Follow-Up:Schedule a follow-up appointment in two weeks to assess Timothy’s response to treatment, monitor his asthma control, and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
    Advise Timothy’s mother to contact the clinic sooner if his symptoms worsen or if they have any concerns before the scheduled follow-up.
    By addressing Timothy’s eczema along with his asthma, we aim to improve his overall quality of life and reduce the likelihood of future exacerbations.

  • Title: Advocating for the Availability of AEDs in Schools: A Process for Nurse Advocacy

    Week 4 Project Formatting Instructions – REQUIRED
    Class,
    When
    preparing your Week 4 Project, please develop your paper as follows. 
    APA is required.
    A cover page is required.
    An introduction is required.
    A conclusion is required.
    There are 10 bullet points.
    Number and write out each bullet point question. Answer the question thoroughly below the question.  Research your answers.  One or two sentences are not a thorough answer.
    References/Citations are required. All references are required to be cited within your answer.
    In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages
    formatted in APA style, you will develop a process for advocating about
    an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved
    through articulating a process for doing so.
    This assignment consists of answering each
    of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and
    Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a
    new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the
    question.
    Let us assume that you are a school nurse
    in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator
    suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went
    into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator
    (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the
    meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On
    Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out
    that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the
    following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies”
    chapter
    What is the issue?
    Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
    Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
    Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
    Is it likely to go away by itself?
    Can I risk ignoring it?
    What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
    What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
    Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
    Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?
    Reaching a solution requires the use of
    power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and
    determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation.
    State your reasons for your answer.
    On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page.

  • Title: “Reflective Practice: Analyzing Sarah Palin’s Quote on Health Care Reform”

    Read the section titled “Reflective Practice: Pants on Fire” from the
    chapter “Health Policy, Politics, and Professional Ethics” and address
    the questions below.
    How do you judge Palin’s quote below, as an effective strategy to
    oppose Democrats’ plans for health care reform or unethical
    scaremongering? 
    “And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the
    elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not
    one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to
    stand in front of Obama’s death panel so his bureaucrats can decide,
    based on a subjective judgment of their level of productivity in
    society, whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is
    downright evil.”
    Reflect on what informs your judgment: commitment to advance care planning, analysis of facts, and/or political party loyalties?
    Is it right for nurses to endorse health reform legislation even if the legislation is not perfect?
    Does this apply to the recently failed American Health Care Act?

  • “Ethical Tensions in Public Health: Balancing Individual Rights and Collective Wellbeing”

    This discussion board explores the ethical tensions between patient confidentiality, public health mandates for testing (like HIV), individual autonomy, and public safety. As you participate, consider applying one of the six acceptable ethical theories to your arguments.
    Prompts:
    Confidentiality vs. Public Health: Balancing Individual Rights and Collective Safety
    Mandatory testing policies for certain diseases, like HIV, can conflict with patient confidentiality. Balancing these concerns is crucial.
    From a Rule Utilitarian perspective, how can we maximize public health benefits while minimizing the potential harms to individual privacy?
    How would Social Contract Theory view the government’s authority to mandate testing that may violate one’s right to privacy?
    Analyze the issue through the lens of Kantian Deontology. Are there situations where breaking patient confidentiality for public health purposes could be considered morally permissible?
    Autonomy vs. Safety: Balancing Individual Choice with Public Health Measures
    Public health mandates, such as vaccination requirements, raise questions about individual autonomy and the government’s role in protecting public health.
    How can Rawl’s Justice Theory inform policies that balance individual freedoms with the need to protect vulnerable populations from infectious diseases?
    Consider the potential impact of mandatory vaccinations on individual liberty from a Social Contract Theory perspective. Are there ways to ensure fair enforcement of these mandates?
    What role should Virtue Ethics play in guiding public health officials when making decisions about mandatory testing and vaccination programs?
    The Role of Public Health in Society: Balancing Individual Rights with Collective Wellbeing
    Public health interventions often involve limitations on individual freedoms to promote the greater good of the population.
    How can a Rule Utilitarian approach guide public health policies to balance individual autonomy with the overall societal benefit of a healthy population?
    Analyze the role of government in public health from the perspective of Kantian Deontology. Are there ethical limits to the government’s power to intervene in individual health decisions?
    How might Care Ethics influence the development of public health policies? Consider the potential impact of these policies on marginalized populations or gender disparities in health outcomes.
