Your second patient has a gastrointestinal complaint. Using the chart of digestive medical word elements from your textbook, construct 10 medical terms that would reasonably be involved in a complaint dealing with the digestive tract. Each term should include its meaning in parentheses. Then list 3 tests or procedures that would reasonably be involved in evaluating a patient like this.

For the Final Project in Organizational Behavior, you have been asked by the Executive Board at a major healthcare system to develop a 4-week training plan for employees to decrease burnout and increase "Joy in Work".  How would you turn burnout into engagement? Start with asking the yourself as the Manager, "What aspects of my job brings me meaning or purpose?" "What brings me joy or job satisfaction?" Many of the things that are important to you are also important to your colleagues and those who work for you. You will find adequate research articles on this subject.

  1. Your patient, a 22-year-old man, was involved in a motor vehicle accident and has spent a week in the ICU. He is restless, continually shedding his covers---even while being transported for diagnostic tests. Due to his condition, you have help in transporting him for his tests and engage in conversation regarding his evolving condition in the public elevator. While waiting for the scanner to be ready for him, the diagnostics nurse begins to ask questions regarding his condition while in the crowded, curtained holding area. After your clinical, you discuss your day of care in the nurses’ lounge while awaiting your classmates for your clinical wrap-up, using the patient’s room number as an identifier.
    1. What data in the scenario are pertinent?
    2. Applying what you know of patient privacy rights, were there potential violations committed in the case study? If so, outline the violations.
    3. How could the violations have been avoided?
    4. Were there actions committed in the case study that were successful in protecting the patient’s privacy rights? If so, what were they?

Case Study: You are working as a clinician in a clinic that serves the indigent population. Many of the patients are 50 years old and older,  and have chronic congestive heart failure ( CHF). Your manager asked you for evidence-based resources to identify strategies to reduce frequent hospital readmissions. Answer each of the following:  1. Find an evidence-based article that focuses on strategies to reduce frequent hospital readmissions among patients 50 years and older, with chronic congestive heart failure. Reference your article at the end of your initial post. On time post.  .2.  From your article, what is your PICO ( PICOT,PICOTT) question? Identify your P-I-C-O-T.

Mrs. Marconi is a 68 year-old retired woman who volunteers 3 days per week at the hospital. A group of nursing students from the local college were holding a health fair and invited her to participate. One station was set up to check the ankle-branchial index (ABI) on the participants. Mrs. Marconi asked the students to explain what an ABI is and why she needs this test.

1. How would you answer this question?

2. Describe how the test id done when should someone be referred for further testing after having the ABI checked?

After viewing the film WIT identify two pivotal moments which struck you as opportunities for better psychosocial care. Describe these moments, your initial reaction, and what you would do differently if you were the care provider. Think of this opportunity as a way to reflect on your practice and how we can all do better.

The enzyme enolase catalyzes the following reaction in the glycolysis pathway (Chapter 14):

2-phosphoglycerate ® phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O

Dehydration of 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) results in phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which is a high-energy phosphate donor that can be used to phosphorylate ADP to make ATP. Thus, this is an important reaction to set up the final step of the pathway.

Balantidiasis is a disease caused by the ciliated protozoan, Balantidium coli. As it is a eukaryote, antibiotics against bacteria will not affect it. Your research group has recently found that members of the Balantidium genus possess an unusual form of enolase, which may allow you to develop an inhibitor that would affect it (and not the enolase in human cells). You have cloned the gene for the enolase from Balantidium coli, and expressed it in E. coli (which is a bacterium) and then purified the enzyme. You call this BcEno, to distinguish it from the other types of enolase. The polypeptide is predicted to be 32 kDa in size, and protein behaves as a homodimer with 2 active sites in each dimer. It requires Mg2+ for activity and is inhibited by EDTA, a chelator of divalent cations.

  1. You perform a kinetic analysis on the enzyme by measuring the rate of catalysis in the presence of increasing amounts of 2PG. You initiate each reaction by adding 5 µL of a solution of 0.1 µg/mL enzyme to each assay tube, which already contains buffer and various amounts of 2PG in a total volume of 95 µL. After each reaction has proceeded for 30 seconds, during which time it should still be in the initial phase, you terminate it by adding 10 µL of 1 M EDTA. You then quantify the amount of PEP.

  1. The most promising molecule produced by your synthesis team is code-named BCEI-17. You repeat the assays exactly as in part (a), except that the tubes also contain BCEI-17. Here is the relevant data:
