This unit’s assigned reading focuses on chemical-induced mutagens. For this assignment, compare and contrast a carcinogen that is a mutagen to a carcinogen that is not a mutagen. Find at least four peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last 7 years that discuss the carcinogens and the cancer that each causes.

Compare the means of exposure of each chemical and the type of cancer each causes. Be sure to integrate the perspective and information gathered from each article into a discussion in your own words.

The Business Source Ultimate database is a good source of journals for safety-related articles from the CSU Online Library.

Your literature review must include the following components:

• an introduction of your topic of choice (include some background information on the origins of exposure and cancer),
• the methods used to search for the articles,
• the results of the articles,
• a discussion and conclusion with your own opinion, and
• APA references and in-text citations for the article.

The literature review must be three to four pages in length, not including the title or reference page, and follow APA formatting.

J. G. is a 34-year old P1 G1 woman who underwent an emergency cesarean delivery after a prolonged labor, during which she exhibited a sudden change in neurologic functioning and started seizing. Since that time, she has experienced 3 tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizures, diagnosed as having a basal ganglion hematoma with infarct, and was started on phenytoin. Postdelivery, J. G. demonstrated dyskinesia, resulting in frequent falls with ambulation. When the seizure disorder appeared to be under control, she was transferred to a rehabilitation facility for evaluation, and 2 weeks of intensive physical therapy. She is now home, where she is doing quite well but still has occasional falls and is receiving physical therapy 3 times a week in her home. She remains on phenytoin and has had no seizures since her release from the rehabilitation facility. As case manager for J. G.’s HMO, you visit her and her family at home for evaluation of long-term, follow-up care.

1. A seizure is not a disease in itself but a symptom of a disease. What is the term for chronically recurring seizures?
2. Does J. G. have epilepsy?
3. The 3 main phases of a seizure are the preictal, ictal, and postictal. Differentiiate between the 3 phases, and list clinical symptoms you may observe when a patient is having a seizure.
4. What is the pathophysiology of a seizure?
5. J. G. had grand mal, or tonic-clonic, seizures. Describe this type of seizure. List 5 other types of seizures.
6. Some patients know they are about to have a seizure. What is this preseizure warning called, and what form does it take?
7. Besides the brain injury, what are some other possible conditions that could be contributing to J. G.’s lowered seizure threshold?
8. List 5 classifications of antizeisure medications.
9. J. G’s husband comes to visit and asks you what he should do if she has a seizure at home. What would you tell him?
10. Her husband states that he is afraid for J. G. to take care of the baby. What would you say to him?
11. J. G.’s husband tells you that his wife is not good at remembering to take medication. What are some strategies that you should review with J. G. and her husband to increase the likelihood of compliance?
12. J. G. asks, “If I get my blood level under control will it stay at the same level as long as I take my medicine?” How would you answer her question?
13. J. G.’s husband asks if the drugs could harm his wife in any way. What general information would you give them about anticonvulsants?
14. J. G.’s husband says, “I was watching ‘Emergency’ last night and they showed this guy who just kept on having a seizure. That doctor had to give him lost of medicine before he came out of it. What is that called?” How would you explain status epilepticus, and why is it a medical emergency?

Alex, 2-years old and the first child for parents Michael and Kim, was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis one year ago. The pediatric nurse practitioner recommended testing for Cystic Fibrosis after seeing Alex for his 9-month well-child check-up and discovering that he measured very low on growth and weight charts in comparison to other 9-month-old babies. Alex has had three respiratory infections in the last 6 months that have required hospitalization. You are the home care nurse that is assigned to develop a home care strategy for Alex and his family following discharge from his most recent hospitalization.

In a 3-4-page recommendation paper:

• Determine the community resources needed to promote health and minimize hospitalizations for Alex
• Identifies members of the interprofessional care team that will contribute to management of Alex’s chronic illness (Michael and Kim, Alex’s parents, are integral members of this team) and the role each would play in the management of Alex’s condition.
• Describes evidence-based therapeutic communication strategies that you would use with Alex, his parents, and the interprofessional care team.

please the answers should be 3 - 4 pages, double spaced, font size of 12.
