J.H. is a 5-week-old infant brought to the emergency department (ED) by his mother, who speaks little English. Her husband is at work. She is young and appears frightened and anxious. Through a translator, Mrs. H. reports that J.H. has not been eating, sleeps all of the time, and is “not normal.”
J.H. is admitted to the medical unit with the diagnoses of
meningitis and rule out sepsis. The ED physician
gives the orders shown in the chart.

J.H. is diagnosed with Escherichia coli meningitis. His medical
care plan will include 14 to 21 days of antibiotic
therapy. You are developing his nursing plan of care. Mrs. H.,
through her translator, asks you what could have caused her baby to
be sick, given that he had an immunization when he was born. She
asks whether he should get “more shots” so this won't happen again.
You reinforce to Mrs. H. that infants have immature immune systems,
and they are vulnerable to infections until they have been fully
immunized.

Since the primary care clinic is just starting to measure performance, you don’t want to overwhelm them with too many different measures. So you decide to select one structure measure, two process measures, and two outcome measures. Do some research on the Internet if you are unfamiliar with the types of patients and conditions seen in a primary care clinic.
Post your measures organized as a table (see below) and explain why you chose these measures
category | measure definition | numerator | denominator |

Create a possible ethical dilemma relating to your chosen field. For example: You are a Medical Assistant and your supervising physician consistently asks you to perform procedures that you are not trained for. Or, you are a Medical Biller and your supervisor has asked you to overbill certain procedures because the clinic that you work for is in financial trouble. Using the 7 Step Decision Making Model, apply the facts of your dilemma.

Sherman is a 65-year-old, sedentary male with Heart Failure (HF). He weighs 200 lb, is 5’8” tall. He has a cardiac output of 4.0 L/min and his left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is 40%. He is referred to you by his cardiologist who would like him to begin exercising in your cardiac rehabilitation facility. Discuss how heart failure affects Sherman’s physiology and the compensatory mechanisms to maintain circulation. How will this limit his ability to exercise?
As his clinician you need to design an 8-week exercise program for Sherman. Before you develop an exercise program, you evaluate his VO2max, which is 20 mL/kg/min. Specify the optimal training program including intensity and duration that would yield the greatest improvement in his cardiovascular function and explain why. Outline Sherman’s expected cardiovascular (central and peripheral) and pulmonary adaptations to exercise. How would you evaluate his cardiopulmonary performance before and after the 8-week exercise program to determine if the program was successful?
