Collaboration Among Healthcare Professionals to Influence Health Policy.

*** Why might it be difficult to get health professionals to reach a consensus on a policy agenda

List four components of teaching for the client with TB

A 25-year-old Arab American man is one day post-operative following vascular surgery. There have been no post-surgical complications. He tells his family that he is “in terrible pain”, and he reports ratings of 2 to 3 on 0-10 numeric rating scale to the nursing staff. He requests pain medication every two to three hours, and will not get out of bed or ambulate.

Identify and state a priority nursing diagnosis label for your assigned client related to pain.

Develop and state three (3) nursing interventions for this nursing diagnosis label or patient problem. When planning individualized nursing interventions, consider the patient’s type of pain and cultural perspective.

Provide your rationale or reasoning for each intervention chosen.

Identify another interdisciplinary team member and an action they could take to help resolve the chosen client problem or nursing diagnosis. .

Describe the initial treatment and maintenance pharmacotherapy of schizophrenia.

Draw a timeline for 2 to 4 weeks, 6 to 8 weeks, and 8 to 12 weeks and fill in the expected outcomes for drug therapy at each of those intervals

Cancer is caused by rapid, uncontrolled cell division. Cells lose normal functions and invade normal surrounding tissues. Metastasize means to travel to another location. A tumor is named according to tissue of origin. Cause of cancer can be chemical physical, and biological. Some biological cancers are caused by diseases that suppress the immune system (HIV or immunosuppressant drugs after transplants).

Multiple drugs from different classes affect different stages in the cell cycle. The combinations allow for lower doses, which reduce toxicity and slow the development of resistance. Specific dosing protocol depends on the type of tumor, stage of the disease and overall condition of the patient. The drugs can be given as a single does or several doses and given within several days or after several weeks. This gives normal cells a chance to recover. Sometimes, the optimum does must be delayed to let the patient recover from drug toxicities.

It is difficult to kill cancer cells without killing normal cells. Serious toxicity limits therapy. Prophylactic treatment of symptoms are used to decrease the serious side effects.

Drugs that are vesicants can cause tissue injury.

Explain the significance of growth fraction and the cell cycle to the success of chemotherapy.

Explain the three primary therapies for cancer: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

You are

. . . an orthopedic technologist working with Kenneth Stannard, MD, at Fulwood Medical Center.

Your patient is

. . . James Fox, a 17-year-old male who complains of severe pain in his right wrist. While playing soccer a few hours earlier, he fell. James pushed his hand out to break his fall and heard his wrist snap. The wrist is now swollen and deformed.

VS are T 98.2, P 92, R 15, BP 110/76. On examination, his right wrist is swollen and tender and has a dinner-fork deformity. An IV has been started, and he has been given 3 mg of morphine IV. An x-ray of the wrist was ordered which reveals a closed Colles Fx.

In your initial post answer the following:

• What type of physician is Dr. Stannard?
• The fracture has been described as closed: What is its complexity?
  • Does it require surgery?
• What does the abbreviation Fx mean?
• Why was James given morphine?
• In a Colles Fx, what is a bone that is likely affected?
