Module 05 Assignment – Designing a Care Map

Purpose of Assignment

1. Assist students with coordination of care for clients with musculoskeletal disorders.
2. Enhance understanding of the nursing process in coordinating care for a client.

Course Competency

• Explain components of multidimensional nursing care for clients with musculoskeletal disorders.
• Select appropriate nursing interventions when providing multidimensional care to clients experiencing alterations in mobility

Instructions

After reviewing the medical conditions presented in the textbook, including osteoporosis, osteomyelitis, disorders of the feet, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel disorder, rotator cuff injury, or other musculoskeletal disorders, develop a care map using the template directly after these instructions. For this assignment, include the following: common assessment findings, a nursing diagnosis, outcomes, and nursing interventions with rationale for a client with a musculoskeletal disorder.

Use at least two scholarly sources to support your care map. Be sure to cite your sources in-text and on a reference page using APA format.

A 50-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presented to her nurse practitioner for a follow-up visit at the rheumatology clinic. After being diagnosed with moderate RA 18 months earlier, the patient was started on methotrexate, a standard disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD). After more than a year of successful disease management, the patient experienced several flare-ups with swelling and pain in her hand joints, which began a few months prior to her recent clinic visit. After conducting tests that indicated high levels of inflammatory markers, the patient's rheumatologist prescribed a TNFα-inhibitor in combination with methotrexate.

In her visit with the rheumatology clinic's Registered Nurse, the patient expressed concerns about side-effects to the new therapy and overall management of her disease. BP – 118/65, P – 75, RR – 18, SPo2 – 98%, afebrile

Make a Nursing care plan with 1 diagnose and 3 goal and per goal have 9 inerventions and rationale.

in healthcare we talk about data quality and integrity from two (maybe three) perspectives: clinical, administrative, and research. Clinical data has the potential for disastrous effects if it is not correct. However, once it stops being clinical in nature and moves into one of the other two categories, poor data does not have the same potential deleterious effects. The use of administrative and research data is more forgiving, but it could still have negative effects. Even if entered correctly on the clinical side, the data may not be very useful ‘on the back end’. Describe how an organization could improve the quality and integrity of administrative and research data before it is ever entered at the patient encounter.

Melina is a 36-year-old female with complaints of excessive fatigue, muscle aches, difficulty sleeping, weight gain, and hair loss in the past six months. She recently lost her job as a clerk and is under a lot of stress. She denies taking any medication and denies any medical history. She is crying at the clinic today and tells you that she does not feel right. Her labs demonstrate that her TSH is significantly elevated at 8. How will you approach and manage her complaints? What discussion will you have with the patient regarding her therapy going forward

• Design plans for care specific to the older adult.

Consider the scenario below, then follow the instructions underneath it to complete the assignment.

Consider Mrs. Y's current health status and functional decline, then address the following:

1. Download the Concept Map and Plan of Care worksheet below. An example is also provided for your reference.
   • File: Concept Map and Plan of Care worksheet
   • File: Concept Map and Plan of Care example
2. Identify three (3) priority nursing diagnoses for Mrs. Y. Consider using the resource below to assist you.
   • eBook: Nursing Diagnosis Manual: Planning, Individualizing, and Documenting Client Care - Chapter 5 Nursing Diagnoses in Alphabetical Order
3. Create a visual representation of the three (3) priority nursing diagnoses by incorporating them into the Concept Map (template in the worksheet). Be sure each nursing diagnosis includes the following elements:
   1. "related to (r/t)" -- description of the client's problem
   2. "as evidenced by" -- description of the client's symptoms
4. Complete the Nursing Plan of Care (table in the worksheet) describing what should be implemented for Mrs. Y.
   1. Goals: Establish at least one (1) goal for each of the nursing diagnoses you identified (for a total of 3 goals). Goals should be: patient specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time limited.
   2. Nursing Interventions: Describe at least three (3) nursing interventions for each of the goals (for a total of 9 nursing interventions). Each intervention should be in alignment with the goal it is supporting.

Effects of Ageism

Due to the increasing percentage of older adult clients in the U.S., it is imperative that healthcare providers assess and confront their own attitudes and perceptions toward older adults.

In your initial post, address the following:

1. Describe ageism and its impact on societal views of older adult clients.
2. Explain how ageism can influence the healthcare provisions of older adult clients.
3. As a healthcare provider, how can one best assess and confront attitudes, perceptions, behaviors, and biases toward older adults?
