LAST DISCUSSION

/in /by

Go back to the discussion topic in Week 1 and review your discussion posts.

Have any of your thoughts or concepts of trends in nursing have changed since week 1.  Please share specific examples.

THIS IS WHAT I POSTED IN WEEK 1:

In my opinion when I think of nursing issues and trends, I think of the nursing staff shortages, increase in patient ratios, nursing advocacy, growth of telehealth, and advances in technology in the field.  In this present time, things are changing rapidly and with that comes change in the field as well.  An example is telehealth, which allows patients to have consults via phone/video with a medical professional.  Nurses are also exploring IT nursing with all these new technical advances.  Which brings to nurses also leaving the clinical setting for a nonclinical nursing career which leads to shortages in the hospitals with this growth of nonclinical nursing careers.

APPLYING INTERDISCIPLINARY THEORIES TO NURSING PRACTICE

/in /by

To prepare: search the Walden University Library for at least two scholarly articles published within the previous 5 years on the assigned theory (health belief). Identify examples and insight for applying this theory to your practice issue. Consider how to explain your assigned theory and its applications to nursing practice and the specific issue you are addressing.

The assingment:

Post a brief description of your assigned theory (Health Belief)  and your nursing practice issue (im a psychiatric nurse so try to come up with a practice issue that happens in the psychiatric). Then, explain how you would apply your assigned theory to your practice issue and explain your reasoning. Be specific and provide examples. Cite your sources in your post. (at least 3 references)

Neurologic Function Case Study 

Pain and Neurologic Syndromes

  

Instructions  

For this case study, you will create a case related to the Neurological Functions.

  

Download this document, type your answers, and include references (including in-text citations per item). Then, upload it to this assignment page.  

  

Neurological Function 

 

Part 1:

Compare and contrast the 3 conditions in

one
 of the charts below: 

PAIN SYNDROME

 

Migraine Headaches 

Tension Headaches 

Meningitis 

Risk Factors 

 

 

 

Pathophysiology 

 

 

 

Clinical Manifestations 

 

 

 

 

OR

NEUROLOGIC SYNDROME

 

Dementia 

Depression  

Anxiety

Risk Factors 

 

 

 

Pathophysiology 

 

 

 

Clinical Manifestations 

 

 

 

Part 2:

Choose a
pain or
neurologic syndrome to explore. You can also choose a diagnosis not listed (that coincides with your advanced practice specialty) as long as it relates to the neurological function.

Present a hypothetical case that includes the following:

1. Vital information about a person who might be predisposed to this condition (I.e., a person who may have risk factors for this condition). 

2. The pathophysiology of the disease, including clinical manifestations.

3. Which diagnostic tests you’d recommend and a rationale for the one(s) you choose.

4. How this condition compares to other differentials.

5. The evidence-based recommendations from the

AHRQ Guidelines
 or guidelines recommended from a professional organization. Based on these recommendations, discuss how  to manage the condition best.

6. A patient safety issue that could be associated with the condition presented in this case.

These charts may help in organizing information to answer the narrative questions:
