Write an 8 page paper in the latest edition of APA format for the following Dermatology case study listed below, involving the 33 year old patient that presents with a rash.
Deduce these three dermatological differential diagnoses for this particular patient writing about the important key features of each diagnosis, including clinical findings in the physical exam, treatment and epidemiological statistics concerning incidence (which means the percentage of how often each diagnosis occurs in the human population which can help in determining which diagnosis is more likely) with related evaluation and treatment and include health promotion/prevention strategies for each:
1) atopic dermatitis (aka eczema),
2) psoriasis,
3) contact dermatitis
Dermatology Case Study:
History of present illness (HPI): A 33-year old has come to your office concerned about a rash of 2-weeks duration located behind the knees and elbows bilaterally. It is itchy, red, somewhat raised, and dry. At times it has had clear drainage.
Past medical history (PMH): Health history is non-contributory; the patient is well overall with no regular medications and ibuprofen for the occasional headache.
Review of systems (ROS): There has been no fever or chills, weight loss, and no CV/Resp/GI/GU symptoms.
EXAM: (Include in the paper for each diagnosis a description of the physical findings which would support the selected diagnoses.)

Use your work on the previous assignments and additional information to develop a concept analysis paper. Make sure to incorporate feedback from previous assignments as appropriate. This paper will demonstrate scholarly, graduate school level writing and critical analysis of existing nursing knowledge. The final paper will be 7-10 pages (excluding title page and references), using APA format with at least 8-10 sources of information.
As you have completed your readings for this course, you may have come across a concept to explore further. There are some concepts that are inherent to our work, yet not completely tangible. Examples of such concepts include, but are not limited to:
Loneliness hardiness stress grief
Rehabilitation trauma care etc.
Other examples of concepts:
Fail error death innovation quality
Team soul spirit research evidence
For your final submission you will take the concept of interest to you, which you used in unit 3 and 5 and further develop it into a final concept analysis paper. You may use some of the same resources from your past literature reviews and add to it, finding evidenced-based articles (based on research studies in nursing) using the concept or discussing the concept. You can use the concept as a primary search term or through search vocabulary provided in the database. You may also want to look at another disciplines search engine (business, education, etc.). For example, if you are interested in the concept of uncertainty in illness or grief in sudden death, you would conduct a literature search examining the concept of uncertainty or grief. The online library is one resource and other known reliable web sites. You may also select a concept that you have wondered about or discovered in your reading that is different from the concept you selected for the first two assignments. Please confer with faculty if you are not sure about your concepts or sources.
For this paper, you will:
Identify the concept and purpose for studying the concept
Describe reasons for this concept being of interest to nursing and its body of knowledge
Define the attributes of the concept and its relevant uses
Conduct a literature search and present it as a summary of the concept as described in each article with examples of how the author defined the term.
Provide the theoretical and operational definition of the concept based on the review of literature. (Theoretical is pure definition and operational is how it is used in practice.)
Apply the concept as it relates to your practice and how you will use this concept in the future
Describe the value of these concept analyses to your understanding of nursing knowledge
Hi, this is a Case study...all information is in reference to the scenario below. I have already completed a draft copy of a very brief outline of what this larger one should entail. (this draft was part of our assessment and has already been marked...so this next 1250 is based on the same scenario, we must just expand apon it) The information I have put in the draft essay needs to be split up and expanded on...I have included the marking criteria for help also. Thankyou very much!
Use your draft summary and associated feedback from the 1st assignment to assist preparing your 1 word essay.
Prepare a essay of the nursing care you would use to manage the case scenario
Use your draft summary from the 1st assignment to assist preparing your 1250 word essay. (I have included this further down the page - It is not to be used as one paragraph, each section expanded on as per marking criteria ...also added further down)
Background: A key role of nursing is to maintain client safety. People living in residential care settings are vulnerable to complications arising from infections, adverse drug effects, and underlying disease processes. Nurses take into consideration the individual needs of the client as well as the impact of individual health problems on the safety of others when planning care.
Aim: The aim of this assessment is for the student to prepare a 1250 word essay of the nursing care required to manage the health needs of your clients and maintain the safety of residents, visitors and staff. Use your draft and relevant feedback to assist in preparation of your report.
Scenario
You are allocated to provide the care for five clients in an aged care facility that also houses a dementia unit. One of your clients Mary Canley (85 years old) confides in you that she has been incontinent of faeces and also has increasing abdominal discomfort. Reading her nursing care plan you notice that Mary is usually continent. Mary lives in room one (see Unit/Ward Floor Plan - The dementia wing is located down the hall from Mary's room, Mary's room however is next to the dirty utility room). You discuss Marys concerns to the Nurse Unit Manager who advisors you that another resident in the dementia unit reported cramping abdominal pains and diarrhoea.
To complete this assessment task you should do the following:
1. Identify the relevant client problems supported by the clinical information obtained from the case scenario.
2. Indentify and explain potential cause(s) of the identified patient problems.
3. Discuss the consequences of the identified patient problems drawing on nursing knowledge and support with evidence.
4. Identify relevant patient goals and associated measurable outcomes relevant for managing the identified health problems.
5. Describe and explain appropriate nursing actions to manage the risks associated with the presenting health problems for clients and staff.
6. Describe the level of evidence supporting the nursing decision-making and care planning.
7. Discuss how identified patient problems and health risks, goals, nursing interventions and outcome criteria are linked.
The following is my draft essay... that needs to be broken down and expanded on as per marking criteria.
Marys symptoms of abdominal discomfort, faecal incontinence, and diarrhoea
indicate possible gastrointestinal disturbance (Crisp & Taylor 2009). Of additional
concern is that another resident is reporting similar symptoms in the dementia unit.
A single case of gastroenteritis in an elderly resident of an aged care facility
may signal the beginning of an outbreak. (Kirk, Roberts, and Horvath 2008, 476)
Possible causes for this may be the result of cross contamination via the oral-faecal
route of transmission, or through consuming contaminated foods and water (Kirk,
Hall, Veitch, Becker 2010, 12). The physical location of the dirty utility room
proximal to the eating and food preparation areas appears inappropriate, and should be
reviewed (Department of Health and ageing 2007). The most often cited causes are
salmonella infections and clostridium difficile (Simor 2010)
Depending on the infected residents current health conditions residents may
experience dehydration, abdominal pain, fevers, vomiting, diarrhoea and loss of
appetite associated with gastroenteritis. (Crisp & Taylor 2009) If the condition is left
untreated it may be life threatening. (Department of Health and Ageing, 2007)
Immediate nursing actions to manage the suspected infected resident would
include collecting a faecal specimen to confirm infection. (Crisp & Taylor 2009)
Isolating infected patients to reduce infection spreading to other residents and staff
(Kirk, Roberts and Horvath, 2008) Increased hygiene measures and implementing a
management plan, monitoring nutrition, fluid intake, hygiene and pain control. (Crisp
& Taylor 2009)
Patient goals are to implement nursing interventions to care for the two
residents who are already elderly and immunocompromised; ensuring comfort,
decreased abdominal pain, stable vital signs, skin integrity and patients personal
hygiene. (Crisp & Taylor 2009)
Measurable outcomes for these goals; 1. No further outbreaks of
gastroenteritis in the unit, 2. Symptom control and improved health status in the
affected residents 3. Identified possible causes of the gastroenteritis, 4. Review of the
units infection control practices (Garibaldi 1999)

This article is peered reviewed. This article talks about the effectiveness of aromatherapy, foot soak, massage and reflexology against fatigue in cancer patients and hospice patients. This applies to the chosen topic. This article describes quantitative research by the open study performed to test the effectiveness of the treatments. This is significant to the project because it gives a good picture of the study and the measured outcome. An open study was performed on 20 terminally ill patients rating their CFS, (cancer fatigue scale) before, 1 hour after and 4 hours after treatment. Their CFS scores improved significantly. The study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of combined modality treatment. The study recommendations can be used as a guide for future research but randomized investigation on terminally ill patients is warranted as well.

This article talks about the use of complementary and alternative medicines during the end of life period. This applies to the chosen topic. This article was a qualitative interview with parents of children with end of life expectancy. The interview included 96 parents of children who died from cancer to establish the prevalence of CAM, (complementary and alternative medicines), use during the end of life period. The study recommendations can be used as a guide for future research. The conclusion of the study found CAM beneficial when administered to patients with end of life expectancy.

( http://lifesciencefoundation.org/)Retrieved from http://www.csh.umn.edu/ The article is peer reviewed. This article talks about the importance of comfort and support provided to the patients admitted to palliative and or hospice care and helpful therapies available. This applies to the chosen topic. This article describes a quantitative study; however, some may argue that it is qualitative as well because the studies are can be measured by the outcome and differences in quality of life using alternative therapy. This is significant to the subject because it gives a good picture of the study outcome. This article studied more than 300 hospice patients and according to the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, massage therapy, reflexology, healing touch Reiki and music therapy provided pain relief, alleviated nausea and fatigue as well as decreased anxiety and depression. The study recommendations can be used as a guide for future therapy and research.

American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care, 19(6), 381-386. doi: PMID: 12442972 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] This article is peer reviewed. This article talks about the use of aromatherapy in hospice patients to decrease pain, anxiety, and other symptoms they experience with an end of life expectancy. It talks about creating a sense of well being with the use of alternative medicine combined with Western medicine. This article applies to the chosen topic. This article describes quantitative analysis using lavender oil aromatherapy. This type of research is significant to the project because it shows positive results in decreasing pain, decreasing blood pressure and creating a better sense of well being. The study sample was conducted using 11 hospice patients. It was a small study but it is a very clear example of the positive effects aromatherapy can have on a patient and their symptoms. The study recommendations can be used as a guide for future studies and treatment.

This article is a systemic review of published research investigating the use CAM in the general public. It may not apply to my population of hospice patients but it does apply to the knowledge and the prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine among patients in general. The article describes quantitative analysis by which a protocol which was developed to conduct a systemic review of published research. Twelve studies were reviewed from research. This article reviewed twelve studies and included six countries. The most aggressive studies were conducted in Australia and the US, showing a high proportion of the population using CAM. This study was large and global enough to be able to use as a guide for use in future studies and use.

This applies to the chosen topic. The article describes quantitative analysis from RCTs using CAM interventions for pain control. These were abstracted using Medline, Embase, Cinahl, Amed and Cochrane databases. This type of research is significant to the project because there is a lack of evidence based about their efficacy. In this article, eighteen trials were identified with a total of 1499 patients. The study sample is not large enough and there is paucity of multi institutions evaluating RCTs for CAM here. The short term promising effects of hypnosis, massage, acupuncture cannot be recommended from this study due to the shortage of rigorous trials according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

The healthcare organization to use is Sanford hospital in
Fargo. North Dakota
This is for course: HCAD 610 9044 Information Technology for Health Care Administration
Paper 1:
You are the director of strategic communication for a non-profit suburban community hospital. The CEO has asked you to prepare a 4 page briefing paper that answers the following questions posed by the Board of Directors:
What ?meaningful use?? How do myriad HIT systems support each other? Or do they?
Note that my professor put out for everyone:
Remember, its NOT quantity, its quality. Don\'t write a blog with a bunch of general statements like \"HIT is changing the world\" \"Technology is advancing so fast\" \"Telemedicine will improve access to care\". That is general. There is NOTHING of substance in statements like that. You have to ask \"So what\". Then keep asking so what so you can answer the so what. That so what is what interests the reader on why HIT is changing the world and how. How technology is advancing and its impact on health. How telemedicine is improving access to care and what it means to patients, providers and payers. You need to be specific on the topic and you need to have evidence. Unless you are an expert in the field, something has to support your statement of fact with literature. That includes stats (NUMBERS) to back you up. If you quantify something with a description like increased, decreased, more, less, higher, lower etc etc, I expect to see some numbers. Depth with specificity not shallow generalities
