My assigned number was 4 which is: Indications & contraindications for TPA use

Initial post:

Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.

Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based. For example, with Posturing: discuss what causes postering, how do you assess postering, what disease processes cause different types of postering, why is it vital for a critical care nurse to understand the physiology of posturing. 

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style.

 Each week include a paragraph with the results from one of your weekly interviews.

Discussion post assignments are worth 20 points each as follows: 

• 5 points for the quality of your bullet points.
• 5 points for the quality of your question.
• 5 points for answering the question of a peer as your response.
• 5 points for the quality of your rationale.
  • Quality is defined as thorough and thoughtful while demonstrating professional level knowledge of the topic

What were the most important concepts you learned in week 1? Why are these concepts important? How will they prepare you for your future role as a nurse practitioner? In what ways do you feel prepared for your new role? In what ways do you feel unprepared? 

 For this assignment, you will prepare a 3 to a 4-page review of the literature pertinent to a selected problem for healthcare research (A research problem of interest related to advanced nursing practice is the issue of inadequate pain management in postoperative patients. The significance of this problem lies in the potential consequences of unmanaged pain, which include patient discomfort, compromised recovery times, and diminished patient satisfaction. Effective pain management is not only crucial for patient comfort but also plays a pivotal role in optimizing clinical outcomes and overall healthcare experiences) and to use that review to propose a methodology to address the problem.

It is very important to differentiate between the different types of shock since treatment may depend on this. Complete the Comparison Table on the different types of shock. 

Think about a recent situation in mental health nursing that you recognized as needing to change in some way and share your reflection with others in the discussion board. Did you take action to change the situation? If not, why not?

If so consider the following:

1. Who did you connect with in some way to create change?
2. What were the barriers that you faced in making the change?
3. What facilitated getting something done?
4. Looking back, what would you do differently next time around?
