Purpose

An effective way to engage with the topic of writing is to consider how writing matters in various communities on a daily basis. This paper provides the chance to reflect in a personal way about a writing community you successfully joined by learning how to use the language and reasoning skills of that community. By using personal experiences and anecdotes, you will trace your movement from an outsider to an insider in a particular community. Examples of writing communities include a specific workplace, a sports team, a church community, a social or college club, a different country and language, a specific discussion forum--online or in-person.

Task

Write a 3-5 page personal narrative that explores a particular writing community that you are very familiar with and that you feel comfortable discussing with your peers. This writing community should be one that you have chosen, rather than one you were born into. Pick a clear writing community, explain and analyze the writing community’s specific language practices and value system, and show readers that you have become a full member of this community by learning those language practices. Follow these specific steps:

  1. Include a main point or take-away (thesis) in the beginning of your essay to clearly indicate to readers what the essay is about and what overall point you wish to make.
  2. Identify the community’s specific reasoning (logos), its values and emotions (pathos) and explain how you built your credibility (ethos) as a new community member.
  3. Explain some of the tensions and limitations of this writing community: do some members demand or disapprove of certain language use?
  4. Use what cultural anthropologist Clifford Geertz calls “thick description” in your essay to identify a particular setting, mood, and people’s characteristics (names, ages, etc.). Show, rather than tell, by using sensory details in your own writing that cue readers to visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and kinesthetic aspects.
  5. Highlight one or two particular incidents (anecdotes) in which the community’s language practices are nicely evident.
  6. You may use quotes from individuals of this community, or from texts the community uses. Make sure to integrate such quotes into your essay.
  7. Your audience are your peers and myself, your instructor. Thus, tailor the language of your essay to us, your real audience, and use a style that is distinctly your own.

Surgery Assignment

A 25-year-old female client is being admitted to the postanesthesia care unit (PACU)
following a thyroidectomy for hyperthyroidism. The client had undergone three
months of preoperative treatment with antithyroid medications and iodine
preparations to establish euthyroid status prior to her surgery. At the client's bedside
the nurse has set up a tracheostomy set, endotracheal tube, laryngoscope, and suction
equipment. There are ampules of calcium gluconate on hand. The nurse places the
client in a semi-Fowler's position, and is supporting her head and neck with pillows
and sandbags. The nurse frequently checks the client's vital signs, and assesses her
suture line for strain or bleeding. Once the immediate postoperative period has passed,
the client will be transferred to the surgical ward where she will recuperate and learn
about lifelong thyroid replacement therapy.
a. Why is it so important for the client to be euthyroid prior to thyroidectomy
b. Why is it mandatory to have emergency equipment and ampoules of calcium
gluconate on hand following thyroidectomy?
c. Why is it important to support the client's head and neck with sandbags and
pillows?
d. Develop a plan of care for this patient two (2) actual and two (2) potential

itial Post:

An 11-year-old boy presents to the emergency room (ER) with a 4-inch laceration on his right arm. He was with his friends doing bicycle stunts when he fell off his bike and cut his arm on a rusty nail from the ramp. In addition, his wrist is swollen, bruised, tender to touch, and warm, with limited mobility. He will most likely need stitches to close the laceration and a splint for the sprain.

In your initial post answer the following questions:

  1. After treatment, as he prepares to leave, you give him last-minute care instructions for laceration and sprain. What would be important for this boy to know to prevent further health concerns with his injuries?
  2. The boy concernedly asks you, “My uncle lost his foot because he got gangrene in it. Am I going to lose my arm if I get an infection in this cut?” How would you respond?
