  • Week 6 Assignment: Signature Assignment: Case Study

    In order to write a case study paper, you must carefully address a number of sections in a specific order with specific information contained in each. The guideline below outlines each of those sections.

    Section

    Information to Include

    Introduction (patient and problem)

    • Explain who the patient is (Age, gender, etc.)
    • Explain what the problem is (What was he/she diagnosed with, or what happened?)
    • Introduce your main argument (What should you as a nurse focus on or do?)

    Pathogenesis

    • Explain the development or evolution of the disease, from the initial stimulus (how etiologic factors alter physiologic function) to ultimate expression of manifestations of the disease and related complications.
    • History
    • Explain what health problems the patient has (Has she/he been diagnosed with other diseases?)
    • Detail any and all previous treatments (Has she/he had any prior surgeries or is he/she on medication?)

    Nursing Physical Assessment

    • List all the patients health stats in sentences with specific numbers/levels (Blood pressure, bowel sounds, ambulation, etc.)

    Related Treatments

    • Explain what treatments the patient is receiving because of his/her disease

    Nursing Diagnosis & Patient Goal

    • Explain what your nursing diagnosis is (What is the main problem for this patient? What need to be addressed?)
    • Explain what your goal is for helping the patient recover (What do you want to change for the patient?)

    Nursing Interventions

    • Explain how you will accomplish your nursing goals, and support this with citations (Reference the literature)

    Evaluation

    • Explain how effective the nursing intervention was (What happened after your nursing intervention? Did the patient get better?)

    Recommendations

    • Explain what the patient or nurse should do in the future to continue recovery/improvement

    Your paper should be 10-12 pages in length and will be graded on how well you complete each of the above sections. You will also be graded on your use of APA style and on your application of nursing journals into the treatments and interventions. For integrating nursing journals, remember the following:

    • Make sure to integrate citations into all of your paper
    • Support all claims of what the disease is, why it occurs, and how to treat it with references to the literature on this disease
    • Always use citations for information that you learned from a book or article; if you do not cite it, you are telling your reader that YOU discovered that information (how to treat the disease, etc.)

    Review the rubric for specific grading criteria.

  • Discussion 500 words

    A 41-year-old male patient presents at the community walk-in clinic with complaints of severe elbow pain radiating into the forearm. His 13-year-old daughter is serving as a translator because her father is unable to speak English and understands only a few words in English. The daughter explains that he has been taking Tylenol to manage pain, but the pain is getting worse and is keeping him from working. You ask the daughter to describe the type of work her father does, and you notice she is hesitant to respond, first checking with her father. He responds, and she translates that he works in construction. Based on the response and the apparent concern, you suspect that the patient may be an undocumented worker. Further conversation reveals that several members of the family are working with the same local construction company.

    1. You suspect the pain reported as coming from the elbow and radiating down the forearm is caused by repetitive motions, perhaps indicating lateral epicondylitis. What can you do to confirm this diagnosis?
    2. While performing the physical examination, you ask the patient, through his daughter, if he has reported this injury to his employer, because the injury is most likely work-related. The daughter responded without consulting her father that this is an old injury that happened before he started working at his current place of employment. You could tell that she was becoming more distressed. What is the most likely explanation for her concern?
    3. Visual inspection reveals erythema around the affected area with no evidence of overlying skin lesions, scars, or deformities. What other assessments should you perform?
    4. How is lateral epicondylitis treated?
    5. When discussing possible treatment approaches, you notice that the patient is very worried and seems to suggest to his daughter that they should leave. The daughter begins trying to explain why they have to leave right away. What would you tell the patient and his daughter to help them feel comfortable staying for treatment?

    Submission Instructions:

    • Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources within the last 5 years

    Requirements: 500 words the discussion

    Instructions

    Based on the research question and specific aims drafted in the “Module 3 PICOT Question, Hypothesis, and Aims” assignment, identify 10-15 research publications that help provide the context to what is known and lacking about your topic.

    • Sources should be peer-reviewed and published within the last 5 years unless seen as gold standard/historical publications.
    • Use search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and the YC library to conduct your search.
    • Be sure to synthesize all articles for relevance, key findings, related measurements, methodology, and quality.
    • As a general rule, you will need to provide support (i.e., citation) for anything that is not general knowledge.

    Format

    • Use the prior Research Proposal document you created in the “Module 3 PICOT Question, Hypothesis, and Aims” assignment. Be sure to include all prior submitted sections with necessary edits.
    • Write 5 6 paragraphs:
    • Paragraph 1 Outline the problem as it relates to your PICOT question.
    • Paragraphs 2-3 Present the available knowledge in a fluid fashion.
    • Paragraphs 4-5 Examine limitations and gaps in existing publications.
    • Paragraph 6 Articulate how your research question is positioned to fill in the gaps and the importance of conducting said research.

    Note: the above outline is a general recommendation, not a requirement. However, this section will be approximately 2-3 pages double-spaced once completed.

    • Include in-text citations throughout
    • Use clear, academic language with a scientific tone.
    • Avoid the use of first-person language.
