Discussion:

Diuretics Rosemary Fox is a 78-year-old client with a history of heart failure. Her treatment regimen includes hydrochlorothiazide, digoxin, an ACE inhibitor, and a potassium supplement. She is now hospitalized with acute exacerbation of heart failure, including a weight gain of 10 lb over the past week, severe 3+ pitting edema of her ankles and feet, and difficulty breathing with orthopnea. Furosemide 40 mg has been added to her drug regimen. The nurse is preparing to administer the first-ordered dose of IV furosemide. Ms. Fox asks what drug the nurse is preparing to administer. Upon learning that it is another type of diuretic, she states, “I’m already on a diuretic. Can’t you just give me a bigger dose of that?” How should the nurse respond?

1. Describe the potential adverse effects that may occur with the combination of drugs being given to Ms. Fox. Discuss nursing measures to prevent, detect, and/or manage these adverse effects.

2. Discuss the client teaching related to diuretic therapy that will be necessary for the nurse to provide to Ms. Fox prior to discharge.

1. Provide an example and a brief description of the nursing intervention that is based upon nursing or healthcare theory and the seminal theory/conceptual model.

a. Describe the concepts involved in the theory/model.

b. What the theory/model states the relationship(s) is/are between the concepts.

c. How and why was this theory created?

A local community health center identifies childhood obesity as a problem in the community. They collect data demonstrating that the problem begins as early as elementary school. They develop a plan that includes clinical interventions at the health center and also at the elementary school. They ask the health department to help them organize an educational campaign and assist in evaluating the results. Working together, they are able to reduce the obesity rate among elementary school children by 50%. This seems like a new way to practice public health. What type of approach is this?

Please help me with 1 page thoughtful and evidence-based reaction to the question, make reference to the sub-topics in chapter 12- Public Health Institutions and Systems-Introduction to Public Health 101 that relates to my choice question.

If the overall objective reads: “To explore the perspectives of surveillance volunteers, community members and focal persons in the community-based disease surveillance system (CBDSS) regarding common challenges and advantages, in order to deduce possible approaches to sustain an effective CBDSS in Ghana.” Outline your research design to answer this research objective.

There is much confusion on the meaning and interactions of theories, frameworks and models. What do each of these concepts mean and how do they provide a framework for nursing practice?

DIRECTION: Create an NCP in relation to the case scenario. (With Assessment, Nursing Diagnosis, Planning, Intervention, Rationale, and Evaluation)

Case Scenario: This is a case of a patient referred to a specialty memory clinic at the age of 62 with a 2-year history of repetitiveness, memory loss, and executive function loss. Magnetic resonance imaging scan at age 58 revealed mild generalized cortical atrophy. He is white with 2 years of postsecondary education. Retirement at age 57 from employment as a manager in telecommunications company was because family finances allowed and not because of cognitive challenges with work. Progressive cognitive decline was evident by the report of deficits in instrumental activities of daily living performance over the past 9 months before his initial consultation in the memory clinic. Word finding and literacy skills were noted to have deteriorated in the preceding 6 months according to his spouse. Examples of functional losses were being slower in processing and carrying out instructions, not knowing how to turn off the stove, and becoming unable to assist in boat docking which was the couple’s pastime. He stopped driving a motor vehicle about 6 months before his memory clinic consultation. His past medical history was relevant for hypercholesterolemia and vitamin D deficiency. He had no surgical history. He had no history of smoking, alcohol, or other drug misuse. Laboratory screening was normal. There was no first-degree family history of presenile dementia. Neurocognitive assessment at the first clinic visit revealed a poor verbal fluency (patient was able to produce only 5 animal names and 1 F-word in 1 min) as well as poor visuospatial and executive skills. He had fluent speech without semantic deficits. His neurological examination was pertinent for normal muscle tone and power, mild ideomotor apraxia on performing commands for motor tasks with no suggestion of cerebellar dysfunction, normal gait, no frontal release signs. His speech was fluent with obvious word finding difficulties but with no phonemic or semantic paraphrasic errors. His general physical examination was unremarkable without evidence of presenile cataracts. He had normal hearing. There was no evidence of depression or psychotic symptoms.
