  • Respiratory rate of 24 breaths/minute
  • SpO2 85%, on room air
  • BP 170/95mmHg
  • Pulse rate of 120 beats/minute
  • Auscultation of lungs identifies bilateral basal crackles
    Mrs Brown was connected to an ECG monitor that showed atrial fibrillation. A diagnosis of acute exacerbation of chronic left-sided heart failure was made.
    Question 1. (500 words) (Learning outcome 1 and 5)
    Explain the pathogenesis causing the clinical manifestations with which Mrs Brown presented.
    Question 2. (200 words) (Learning outcomes 2, 4 and 5)
    Discuss two high priority nursing strategies to manage Mrs Brown and provide evidence-based rationales for these strategies.
    Question 3. (300 words) (Learning outcome 3 and 5)
    Two of the drugs that were given to Mrs Brown were IV furosemide and sublingual glyceryl trinitrate.

    1. Discuss the mechanism of action of these two drugs, and relate to the underlying pathogenesis of an acute exacerbation of chronic left-sided heart failure. And,
    2. Describe the nursing implications (monitoring for and responding to adverse effects, and evaluating therapeutic effect) when administering these two drugs to a patient with an acute exacerbation of chronic left-sided heart failure.
      • Provide a reference list in APA 6th Edition style with a minimum of 6 academic references which

      • The concept map must be computer generated.
      • When researching the topic, use the pathophysiology template that is on the unit vUWS site to
        assist you in organising your information. The template will also assist in identifying key concepts
        and their relationships.

FOOD MEMORY

Write a description of a food memory, preferably from your childhood. This could be a memory of tasting or liking/disliking a particular food, or it could be a memory focused on a dish from a particular eating event, collective or individual. Pay attention to as many senses as you can invoke to evoke this memory. If you recalled a dish at a specific event, talk to others who were also present and see how they remember the dish and the event; analyze the similarities and discrepancies between your recollections.  You can also include a brief recipe.
Do a bit of research to place your memory in wider context, incorporating related sources when applicable.  Discuss the cultural, symbolic, social, structural, or other meanings of this dish. Specify the social group for whom it has meaning, for what kinds of occasions and settings is this dish prepared, who is involved in the preparation, serving, and consumption of this dish, background, etc.
Is this a food that unique to your culture? What are its traditional names? (And do these names have any special significance and/or meaning?) What ingredients go into making these foods? How and when are they eaten? Are there unspoken family “rules” about food consumption (e.g., what’s okay, and not okay, to eat; how and where should one eat, etc.)
 
This paper needs to be 4 pages or more. You will need to use 12 Times New Roman Font. You need to double space and provide a cover page/reference page, following APA-formatting guidelines. These two items are NOT part of your page count.

initiative in healthcare

Quality is a serious initiative in healthcare at the national level. Hospitals, providers, insurance companies, and government-sponsored agencies are now faced with meeting quality initiatives. Compliance with these initiatives means more revenue and better patient quality and provider care.

Select any area in your city, community, county, or region, and assume the patient in this week’s case study is in this area. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research and answer the following:

City is Columbia, SC

 

  • Does your community have the required medical resources to handle the patient’s problem?
  • How would the patient’s care be handled in your community? Identify the nearest hospital to the area you have chosen that treats the problem. Trace the patient’s course to this hospital.
  • List the healthcare professionals and facilities that would be encountered on the way.
  • Compare any two insurance plans and choose the one that would offer the most to the patient.
  • Discuss the essential quality-of-care issues involved in this case. What is the role of Telemedicine in your community and how do you access it? How does it affect the quality of care?
