  • DB: 7 HIT-265

    When multiple wounds of varying degrees, in different body areas, are documented by the physician, how do we list the codes? Do we code them as the physician lists them, or is there a guideline that directs us on what to list first?

    How would you code them?

  • Market Justice vs social justice

    Market Justice vs. Social Justice U.S. health care blends two distribution logics: Market justice: health care as an economic good; access shaped by ability to pay (demand-side/price rationing). Social justice: health care as a social good; access organized by public planning and safety-net programs (supply-side rationing) Your Turn 1. Give a real-world example where market justice and social justice complement each other 2. Give a real-world example where they conflict (think: uninsured, rural access, safety net) example 1 this is a classmate work i don’t want some thing long. I preferred some thing just like this not too long. “(Market justice and social ustice are often presented as contrasting frameworks, they are not completely opposite sides of a coin. In the U.S. healthcare system, there is some overlap – for example, private insurance reflects market justice, while programs like Medicare and Medicaid reflect social justice. The two approaches coexist and interact, rather than being entirely mutually exclusive.)”

  • final essay

    Read the feedback that you should have received from your classmates, tutor, and instructor (click here for directions) on both drafts and make any needed changes before submitting this final version. Be sure your essay meets all the requirements in the checklist below! Please be aware that while the final essay should be very similar to the first and second drafts (not a complete rewrite), it CANNOT be identical to either draft. Every student’s drafts had room for improvement. REMINDERS The instructions for the entire comparison-and-contrast project, which you saw on the brainstorming step, are available as a PDF here. Keep in mind that the essay should be written in third person, avoiding first- and second-person pronouns like “I,” “we,” and “you.” Leave yourself out of the picture. Instead of “Two of my sisters work at schools,” I would write, “Lauren Baird and Jill Carlee, who are sisters, both work at schools.” Instead of “I enjoy both baseball and softball because they are similar yet different,” I would write, “Although they use similar equipment, baseball and softball follow different rules and require different skills.” If you have questions, you are strongly encouraged to meet with your instructor or a tutor. Provide the tutor with these instructions as well as your instructors feedback on your previous steps. Be sure that you have read all your instructors feedback. CHECKLIST (Every draft or final paragraph in this project must include these five things!) a one-sentence thesis (topic sentence) containing BOTH TOPICS and either one overall point or all three primary points three primary points, which must be organized point by point or topic by topic (whole to whole) and fully developed with supporting details like reasons and evidence with explanation and examples a single concluding sentence that returns to both topics and the main idea of the thesis and provides a sense of closure by looking at the big picture or the future one paragraph at least 400 but no more than 500 words* In addition, it must NOT have an introduction or use ANY sourced material! We will cover sources and citations in the next unit for use in later essays. IMPORTANT NOTES Any work submitted LATE earns a ZERO. Final essays submitted at least 24 hours EARLY earn 10 points extra credit. If the final submission is not double-spaced, it loses 10%. *Count only words in the paragraphsNOT IN THE HEADING OR TITLE. In Word, the word count at the bottom left of the window counts the whole document, so you must select the text only from the thesis statement through the concluding sentence before looking at that number. (See chapter 37.3.H.)

    DFC Concept Map Assignment Overview

    Concept maps allow you to organize and display key information in a way that you can see how information is connected and interrelated. The DFC Concept Map Assignments in this course allow you to extract key client information and practice clinical judgment using DFC or VCBC clients.

    Choose a concept from the Concepts for Nursing Practice eBook (found under your course eBooks) that relates to the patient you selected. You must choose a different concept for each of your concept map assignments.

    DFC Concept Map Goal

    The purpose of this assignment is to provide the learner an opportunity to strengthen their clinical judgment using a concept map format. Use the attached rubric for map requirements to ensure you receive full credit.

    Instructions

    1. Choose Your Map Concept

    a. Choose a concept from the Concepts for Nursing Practice eBook (found under your course eBooks) that relates to the patient you selected.

    2. Choose a Client

    a. You can use a current client, a past encounter, or a simulated experience if needed.

    b. You can use a concept only once per course.

    3. Complete the Client Information Section and Topic of the Map

    a. Use SBAR format for the client information

    Hover over each term or visit the ELO to learn more. SBAR includes:

    i. Situation

    ii. Background

    iii. Assessment

    iv. Recommendation

    b. Topic of the Map

    The topic of the map is your chosen concept. This might not always be the clients primary concern.

    i. For example, if your chosen concept is Mobility, focus on cues and interventions related to Mobilityeven if the client has a higher priority concern (such as Perfusion). Concepts are often interrelated, but you should maintain the focus of the map on the chosen concept.

    4. Build Your Clinical Judgment Concept Map

    a. Locate and download the concept map template within the DFC Concept Map module.

    b. Complete all boxes for your client.

    c. Use the assignment rubric to ensure you meet the requirements of the assignment.

    d. The arrows on the template are there to remind you that this map is intended to be completed in a certain order.

    e. What is a hypothesis?

    i. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of available data.

    Clinical Judgment Process

    Recognize Cues

    Based on available client data, identify relevant or important cues or information. Subjective and objective could be considered. Specific client values are included where appropriate (i.e., heart rate, oxygen saturation, etc.).

    Analyze Cues

    Link identified cues to the clients presentation. Determine conditions that are consistent with those cues.

    A condition is defined as a normal state with regard to ones health, such as pregnancy, or to a disease, disorder, illness, or injury (National Institutes of Health, n.d.).

    Prioritize Hypotheses

    Think Where do I start? Based on your analysis of the clients condition, determine which explanations are most likely. List and rank hypotheses according to most urgent problems and priority order.

    Generate Solutions

    Using the hypothesis, identify desirable outcomes for the client. Goals are listed in SMART format.

    In SMART format, goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Visit the ELO for more information.

    Example of a SMART goal:

    The patient will report a pain level of 4 or less on a 010 scale within 30 minutes of pain medication administration.

    Take Action

    Using the identified SMART goals, identify and describe how nursing interventions will be performed, administered, communicated, or taught. Interventions will address the priority concerns and are designed to help meet the clients goals.

    Intervention #1 should be crafted to help meet SMART goal #1.

    Evaluate Outcomes

    Compare observed outcomes against expected outcomes. Determine if your identified interventions were effective.

    Evaluative statements must be written in past tense.

    Format example:

    The (goal was achieved) by (time specified) as evidenced by (supporting findings) after (nursing intervention was performed).

    To reiterate: SMART goal #1, Intervention #1, and Evaluation #1 must all be related. This process should be repeated for all goals and their associated interventions and outcomes.

    5. Give Credit to Your Sources

    a. After completing your concept map, give credit to your sources on both the Reference page and as in-text citations.

    b. References must be listed in APA 7th edition format, including:

    Author

    Publication year

    Source

    The Writing Center can help with APA format. You may also use the Citation Machine on the Purdue OWL website.
