-Fill out each section of the care plan for privacy and HIPAA concerns, do not place any identifying information such as Name, DOB, phone number, MRN/EHR #, etc.

-Fill out the entire nursing care plan form, but if there is no data to support a section, place an “NA”. Under Abnormal labs/diagnostics, include information pertinent to the patients current problems. For example, increased GFR due to trauma related to falls or abnormal CXR with infiltrates in the right lung from aspiration pneumonia. Explain why you think that the lab value is abnormal as it relates to the patients current problem.

-For the H&P section, summarize a brief synopsis of the patients significant history, current problems, and admitting diagnosis. A good place to find this information is usually in the admitting/ER consults doctor’s notes.

-All documentation (references and citations) will be done in the current 7th Edition APA format. Will not accept references from Wikipedia, Nurselabs.com, or any site that is of a private opinion. It must be vetted and verified by trusted sources such as peer-reviewed journal articles, published Journal sites, or government sites such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Also accepted are accrediting bodies (Joint Commission, CCNE, ANA) or published books.

IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF A CARE PLAN:

1. Assessment Data
   1. Reason for visit
   2. Comorbidities
   3. Medications related to illness
   4. Laboratory, diagnostic results
2. Nursing Care Plan
   1. Nursing Diagnosis (at least 3) (NANDA-I)
   2. SMART Goals for that shift, interventions, rationales (between 2-3)
   3. Evaluation (Met or Not Met and why)
3. References/APA format/Spelling/Grammar
4. See the Care Plan Rubric below
5. Utilized your Carpenito Nursing Diagnosis: Application to Nursing Practice, 15th edition

Remember to use your resources when you do this, such as your nurses and doctors, and talk to the patients to better understand why they are there from their perspective. Remember, you are to learn and interact with as many people as possible while you are on rounds at the hospital.

Use SMART Goals, interventions, rationales, and evaluations that can be measured within a shift. Also, remember, don’t make a care plan complex. Please keep it simple. In the real nursing world, our care plans are simple, easy to understand, and easy to implement. As always, reach out to me with any questions.

Warning: Use of any AI-assisted programs, such as ChatGPT, is prohibited when generating your care plan. If you are suspected of using these programs, you will automatically be under review for possible loss of admission to the course and possibly removed from the nursing program, as this is covered under the student code of conduct for cheating and plagiarism. These care plans are individualized plans you make for your patient.

A 94-year-old woman went to her local hospital emergency department in mid-November 2001 complaining of a 5-day history of weakness, fever, nonproductive cough, and generalized myalgia (muscle aches). Otherwise, for a person her age she was fairly healthy, although she did suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, and chronic kidney failure.

On physical examination, her heart rate was above normal and she had a fever of 102.3F (39.1C). The rest of her physical examination was normal. Initial laboratory studies of blood cell count, blood chemistries, and chest X ray were also normal except for the chemical urine testing. This finding along with the fever suggested an infection, so the patient was admitted to the hospital. Samples of blood and urine were sent to the microbiology laboratory and set up appropriately.

The next day, microscopic evaluation of the urine culture revealed rod-shaped bacteria that stained red, and the blood culture revealed rods that stained purple. The liquid blood culture was then transferred to appropriate solid media. This finding in the blood was unusual, so a sample culture was sent to the state health department laboratory. Antibiotic therapy was adjusted, yet the patients condition deteriorated. Her most serious symptoms localized to her chest, and she was transferred to the intensive care unit. Four days after admission, the health department announced that the bacteria found in the patients blood were Bacillus anthracis. She was suffering from inhalation anthrax. Further testing showed these bacteria to be of the same strain that had been involved in the recent bioterrorist attack. Despite treatment, the patient died on the fifth day after admission. (Textbook: Microbiology: A Systems Approach, 7th Edition by Marjorie Kelly Cowan and Heidi Smith. McGraw Hill. ISBN: 978-1-265-461119. Chapter 1, “The Main Themes of Microbiology”) and be concise and to the point. Your responses should not exceed 350 words. give 2-3 references in APA format with last five years.

What techniques and equipment are used when the bacteria are observed as being purple and red?
How are these findings reported?
What are the stages of processing a blood sample?.

Guidelines

In each Module you are assigned a case study write-up that is due(suggestive date) by the end of Day 3 that constitute 16% of your final grade. Each case write-up is an individual assignment and no collaboration is allowed among students. Cheating of any form or plagiarism will result in receiving zero for the corresponding case write-up and you must address to the best of your abilities what the question is asking for.

All case write-ups must be submitted to Turnitin, which is a built-in feature of the course Canvas site. Study the case study carefully and then proceed to answer the question(s). Try to justify your responses by drawing from the Modules material and be concise and to the point. Your responses should not exceed 350 words, and AI red flag.

The purpose of the Case Write-Ups is to get you acquainted with and internalize the taught concepts, and be able to apply them in order to solve various cases that medical professionals are faced with on an everyday basis.

create the script for this assignment, I will create the video. You can pick the role and job but an idea i had is possibly a position for director of nursing for a skilled nursing facility. I am in los angeles california.

Interview a professional within your practice setting in a 1015 minute video presentation. You will act as a professional leader hiring another professional within your practice setting.

Leadership development is an ongoing process. Becoming an effective leader includes having a repertoire of skills in combination with one’s life experiences, stories, and challenges perceived as opportunities for growth. One of the most valuable journeys we embark on is self-discovery, awareness, and growth. All of you have the potential to be leaders who transform healthcare delivery and quality of services, making a difference in the lives of others.

In this assessment, we will consider the philosophy and practice of servant leadership. You will be asked to develop a portrait of your own leadership that examines specific leadership characteristics and articulate the manner in which leadership can be used to empower others. As Oprah Winfrey said, . . .when you choose the paradigm of service, looking at life through that paradigm, it turns everything you do from a job into a gift (2008).

In this assessment, you will demonstrate your leadership style and skills when you conduct your professional interview.

• Examine and explain the significance of the Declaration of Independence to the development of the American Revolution.

  Use two scholarly sources for your Initial Post

Democratic

Democratic leadership styles seek to share decision-making authority with other team members. Democratic leaders encourage team input in decision-making and prioritize an environment inclusive of all ideas (Romi et al., 2022). While this approach can foster collaboration, teamwork, and creativity, it takes longer to make decisions and can lead to inconsistent approaches to problem-solving since everyones views are considered.

Please use attachment to answer question
