Please respond to this post
a. The physicians order seems to be appropriate given the patient’s current clinical status. Because of the patient’s immunocompromised state, she is more at risk of developing infection. In addition, because of the prescribed antibiotics that she is already on, the normal bacterial flora that would normally keep the fungi at bay are unbalanced which in turn is permitting “fungal overgrowth and setting the stage for opportunistic infections” (Norris, 2019, p. 221). In patients such as this, being immunocompromised and neutropenic, the potential for fungal infections is much greater and can manifest with atypical symptoms. “Pathogenic fungi are opportunistic but can cause fungal infection disease in patients with immunocompromised conditions, such as malignancy, chemotherapy, transplantation, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and usage of immunosuppressant drugs” (Riley, 2021). Given that the patient is already on antibiotic therapy, the next plan of action would be to include the antifungal drug.
b. As stated above, the clinical manifestations of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients can be atypical and may not always include a fever or positive cultures. If the reasons for her symptoms are due to a fungal infection, it would be affecting things like her lungs or other organs rather than circulating in her bloodstream like a bacterial infection. Because her ANC is currently 0, that also means she has there is a lack of inflammatory responses, including fever. Because of all the risk factors this patient has, including recent chemotherapy and ANC of 0, she has a greater risk of an invasive fungal infection which is associated with a high mortality rate in immunocompromised patients (Houston et al., 2023).

this is a discussion post for my health informatics class. no less than 100 words and app 7th edition is required. at least one source. if you would like pictures of the book I can send it to you.below I have uploaded the prompt, instructions and rubric

Develop the beginning of a research proposal on your phenomenon of interest.  You may begin thinking about whether you are going to use a qualitative or a quantitative approach. This determination is based on your question of interest. Please include the following components in your paper.
Components to include in your paper:
A. Title Page:  As always, review APA guidelines for the title page. Make your title succinct and to the point. Titles that are too lengthy tend to lose the reader before they even read the article.
B. Introduction (Including the problem statement):  This can be accomplished in 1-2 good paragraphs if carefully constructed. It is here that you want to grab the reader and let them know the research is meaningful to your discipline.  State the problem and give it context. Include why it is essential and what you hope to accomplish. What is the purpose of the research? State your hypothesis or research question(s). Let the reader know why it is worth doing and also include any problems, or pitfalls you are likely to encounter. State for whom the research is relevant.
C. Background/Rationale: (this will include your review of the literature). Give some relevant history. Provide some statistics if you haven’t already to help substantiate the work. Use seminal works if available. Include the most recent work in the area that is relevant to your discipline (nursing). Include any debates or recent developments regarding the topic in nursing/healthcare/nursing education (whatever the focus of the study). Your review of the literature should include pertinent/recent data on your phenomenon of interest and should provide the impetus for the proposed research. 
D. A potential theoretical framework to underpin the study (use the Toolkit for Chapter 6 of your textbook to find potential websites for theories and conceptual frameworks & complete the assignments in the Resource Manual for Chapter 6 to gain an understanding of theoretical frameworks). 

Using the information you have learned from Chapter 10 and the Scholarly Writing and APA Module resources, find a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal and select a Nursing Research (research conducted by nurses) article from within the past seven (7) years relating to your own professional practice. Create an APA 7th formatted paper (see template below) and respond to the prompts below. Quotes used should be 20 words or less, summarize your responses and include the citation. 
Instructions:
Review the article and respond to the following prompts:
What is the problem or issue focus of the research study?
What is the purpose of the study?
What is the significance problem or issue to nursing practice?
What type of research method was used?
Summarize the results of the study and the application to nursing practice.
Describe how you can incorporate results of the study into your own practice.
Based on your analysis of this study, what future studies would you recommend?
*** i work in labor and delviery and also am an circulating nurse in the OR for c sections. 

Overview
The goal of this assignment is to practice writing a SOAP note for a sick or episodic visit related to the focus system(s) reviewed in this week’s learning materials. Review the SOAP Note Rubric.
Instructions
Choose an abnormal finding related to the content that was covered this week. Examples from this week would include: hair loss, thickening of the nails, rash, skin lesion, fatigue, malaise, etc.
Develop a focused SOAP note for the abnormal finding. You do not need to find a patient to match this finding. The point is for you to think about what the HPI would be, what the rest of the history may look like, what the objective findings will be, the potential differential diagnoses, and the plan. In other words, you are creating the patient scenario and documenting it in SOAP format. Please be sure to include all relevant information and not just the system the abnormal finding is in.
Refer to the attached Grading Rubric to see how your work will be assessed.
