Read :

Eating disorder symptoms among undergraduate varsity athletes, club athletes, independent exercisers, and nonexercisers.

Objective: To examine whether differences in eating disorder symptoms exist between women who are varsity athletes, club athletes, independent exercisers, and nonexercisers and to determine whether sports anxiety moderates any observed between-group effects.

Method: 274 female undergraduates completed the eating disorders inventory and the physical activity and sport anxiety scale and reported their exercise habits.

Results: Women who participated in sports tended to have higher levels of eating disorder symptomatology than those who did not. Higher levels of sports anxiety were predictive of higher levels of bulimic symptoms and drive for thinness. Finally, the interaction of sports anxiety and level of athletic participation significantly predicted body dissatisfaction and bulimic symptoms.

Conclusion: Coaches and clinicians should be aware that athletes experience higher rates of eating disorder symptoms than nonathletes. Moreover, sports anxiety should be considered as a possible target of therapy among athletes.

  1. List the Independent Variable(s).
  2. List the dependent variable(s)
  3. Provide 3 examples of a findings statement (a statement describing results) based on information presented in Table 1.
  4. In your opinion how generalizable is this study? Why?

Currently, there is a large shortage of staff in many health care positions. Sometimes for nursing shortages, health care organizations hire travel and temporary nurses. Is something like this possible for other health care and allied health staff positions, or is there just such as shortage throughout the US and world in most of these positions that hiring temporary employees is just not feasible?

____________________________________________________________________

Group 2:

While you are at your son's baseball game, one of the other players slides into second base and then lies there without moving. Another player yells for help. The other parents know you are a nurse and ask you to check on the player while they call 911. When you approach the child, you note that his leg is fractured and lying in an awkward position. You feel that if you reposition the leg, you might cause more harm and pain for the child. You assess the leg and note it is warm with a palpable pedal pulse. You provide care to ensure that he does not go into shock until the ambulance arrives. The child's parents are called and will meet the ambulance at the emergency department. Three months after the incident you receive word that you are being sued for malpractice because you did not provide interventions to ensure the safety of the leg. The child is undergoing extensive physical therapy related to neuromuscular damage to his leg.

What are the basic elements of malpractice according to the Nursing Today textbook?
Does this scenario meet the basic elements of malpractice? Explain why or why not using the Nursing Today textbook as a reference.
If you were working or volunteering at a first aid station and this scenario occurred, would the basic elements of malpractice apply? Why or why not?
If you are the first aid nurse in this scenario, what specific actions should you take immediately following the accident? How could this protect you from a possible lawsuit?

You are working as a nurse in the emergency department. The triage nurse walks a patient into one of your empty rooms. You look at the computer to see her name is Penny, 20-year old female, c/o abdominal pain. No known drug allergies, no current medications, and denies previous medical history.  

Assessment: Penny is awake, alert, and oriented x3. Reports lower abdominal pain x 2 days. Rates her pain a 6/10, but states it is sometimes a 10/10. +nausea, denies vomiting. Physical examination finds lungs clear bilaterally and heart sounds regular. +bowel sounds x 4 quadrants. Abdomen tender to palpation. Slightest touch causes her to wince with pain. During your physical examination, you notice bruises on her arms and back. Further questioning finds burning with urination. Last bowel movement was prior to arrival. She states frequent diarrhea d/t her use of laxatives as a way to lose weight. She is due to start her next menstrual cycle next week. VS: T-37.6   BP-102/54   HR-105 RR-22    Height 5’4” Weight 100 lbs.

Social history: Penny currently lives with her parents and attends school full-time at the local community college. She is still covered under her father’s insurance plan. +smokes 2-3 cigarettes/day and admits to marijuana use when someone offers her some. You ask her if she is sexually active and she tells you she started using dating apps about 3 months ago and she “has been having a lot of fun”. She reports many new dates over the last few weeks and “feels obligated” to go home with them after the date. You question her about unprotected sex and she admits “if the guy doesn’t use a condom, I don’t say anything about it”.

Pelvic exam: Pelvic examination reveals purulent material pooled in the vaginal vault, which appears to be coming from the cervix. The physician also notes red, friable cervical ectopy. There is also a distinct odor. The vaginal drainage is swabbed and sent to microbiology for culture. You prepare a wet mount for the physician to look for trichomoniasis.

Mrs. Johnson is a 70-year-old woman who had a stroke less than a year ago. Mrs. Johnson is alert and oriented. She feels the sensation to void but right-sided weakness prevents her from always being able to get to the bathroom in time. For this reason, she wears incontinence undergarments. Mrs. Johnson’s daughter, Amy stops by twice each day to check on her and prepare meals for her. There are times when Mrs. Johnson is incontinent and remains in a wet undergarment until Amy comes to visit.

While assisting Mrs. Johnson in the bathroom, Amy notices that Mrs. Johnson’s coccyx and perineal area are reddened and excoriated. Amy learns that Mrs. Johnson sometimes sits in a wet undergarment until she arrives. Mrs. Johnson explains, “I know I am wet. It is just easier to wait for you to get here than to try and change the undergarment myself.” Amy is concerned. She calls a local visiting nurses association to get some information about how to manage Mrs. Johnson’s incontinence and asks if there is any skin therapy to reduce the redness.

  1. Describe at least three factors that affect voiding and may result in incontinence in an adult.
  2. What is incontinence? Describe the characteristics of each of the six types of urinary incontinence: stress, reflex, urge, functional, total, and transient.
  3. Which type of incontinence does Mrs. Johnson have and what data support the diagnosis?
  4. Mrs. Johnson tells the nurse, “I try to limit the amount of fluid I drink to one of two small glasses a day so that I do not have to go to the bathroom as much.” What teaching should the nurse provide in response to this comment?
  5. Explain at least three factors that are contributing to Mrs. Johnson’s impaired skin integrity.
  6. What will the visiting nurse most likely tell Mrs. Johnson and Amy to consider in an effort to minimize Mrs. Johnson’s incontinent episodes?
  7. What are three suggestions the visiting nurse will include while teaching Amy to care for Mrs. Johnson’s skin?
  8. List five nursing diagnoses that are appropriate for Mrs. Johnson (three-part diagnoses).
