Imagine that your father talks with you about his recent physical examination . It has been a number of years since he had a medical examination . His physician conducted a battery of tests and asked your father about his lifestyle . As a result, the physician told your father that he is at risk for developing cardiovascular disease . Your father was told that his weight, blood pressure, physical activity level, cholesterol, nutritional habits, and stress levels have increased his chances of developing cardiovascular disease . Your father tells you that he feels great, was physically active throughout high school and college, looks better than most people his age, and cannot imagine that he is truly at an elevated risk . Because he knows you are aware of cardiovascular disease risk factors, he asks you the following questions:

1 . How does one know if the measures taken are accurate?

2 . What evidence suggests that these characteristics are truly related to developing car- diovascular disease?

3 . How likely is it that the physician's evaluation of the tests is correct?

4 . What aspect of the obtained values places one at increased risk? For example, how was a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg originally identified as the point at which one is at increased risk? Why not 130 mmHg or 150 mmHg? Why has the blood pres- sure risk been decreased from 140 to 130 and even 120 mmHg? Your father reports being physically active, but what does that mean? Is he engaging in sufficient physical activity to be at increased health or reduced risk for negative health outcomes? Similar questions could be asked about each of the measurements obtained .

5 . What evidence exists that changing any of these factors will reduce risk?

Furosemide, sodium polystyrene sulfonate and sevelamer hydrochloride are used to treat chronic kidney disease; provide the therapeutic classification, discuss how the medication improves CKD signs/symptoms and nursing actions for safe administration

Week 2 Discussion Topics

• Discuss educational plans for preventing the spread of COVID-19 within the community setting and within your families.
• Discuss prevention measures among two (2) groups who are at risk for contracting of COVID-19

share your perspective on a universal healthcare system.

Based on Paul’s letter to the Corinthian church, the focus was on equity rather than strict equality. Discuss how these teachings might guide the Christian health administrator in mastering the challenges of addressing cost, quality, and access in healthcare delivery.

Maxine Overland is an RN, working on a medical-surgical unit in a partnership model of primary nursing. She has been on vacation for 2 weeks, and when she returns, she finds that the unlicensed assistive personnel she typically worked with is not expected to be back at work for several months because of a family emergency. A new nursing assistant, John Maxwell, who had worked in the hospital for only 2 weeks, is assigned as her partner.

Maxine was pleased to learn that John had previous experience in another hospital and is a certified nurse aide. However, as she began to work with him, she realized that he does not understand the delegation rules established by the state Board of Nursing. For example, she entered a patient’s room to find that John was removing an IV from the patient’s arm because it had infiltrated. Maxine took over the task, noting that the IV was in fact infiltrated. After leaving the room, she asked John why he had begun to remove the IV instead of calling her. He indicated that he had been taught how to do this at his last place of employment. She indicated to him that this was not a delegated task in this hospital. He responded, “Why? I know how to do it.”

Later in the morning, Maxine was reviewing the vital signs of the patients to whom they were assigned. The values for all blood pressures, pulses, and respirations were numerically very close, despite the fact that the patients had previously had widely different vital signs results.

Question ( 4 pts)

1. If you were Maxine, what would you do? ( must relate your answer to the NCSBN delegation rules.)

Refer to the accompanying data table. The entries are weights (pounds) and pulse (beats/min) from male subjects examined as part of a large study conducted by a health organization. The data are matched, so that the first subject has a weight of 169.1 and a pulse of 68, and so on. Given the context of the data in the table, what issue can be addressed by conducting a statistical analysis of the measurements?

A. Is there a relationship or an association between weight and pulse?

B. Does a change in weight cause pulse to increase or decrease?

C. Is there a relationship between the mean weight and the mean pulse?

D. Does a change in pulse cause weight to increase and decrease?

E. No conclusion can be drawn from the data.

a patient, who is Indian, is in the hospital and is ordering what they want for lunch. The healthcare professional discussing their lunch order states "we have hamburgers and steak" and the patient replies "I don't eat meat". The healthcare professional says back "oh, I could not go without meat for meals at least twice a day". The healthcare provider then proceeds to ask the patient how could you possibly not eat beef? What about the healthcare workers' statements are projecting the wrong impression and how could they better communicate in this situation without projecting their preferences?

According to the CDC (2013), stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, with over 800,000 people in the US dying from this each year. There is a geographic and racial disparity in risk and mortality.

What are some of the best practice stroke assessments and the nurse's role in stroke prevention related to those at highest risk and discuss your findings. Discuss ways the nurse can apply the neuro assessment to identify those at risk for stroke.
