As a nurse, how often have you thought to yourself, If I had anything to do about it, things would work a little differently? Increasingly, nurses are beginning to realize that they do, in fact, have a role and a voice.

Many nurses encounter daily experiences that motivate them to take on an advocacy role in hopes of impacting policies, laws, or regulations that impact healthcare issues of interest. Of course, doing so means entering the less familiar world of policy and politics. While many nurses do not initially feel prepared to operate in this space effectively, the reward is the opportunity to shape and influence future health policy.

Preparing the Assignment

Follow these guidelines when completing each component of the discussion. Contact your course faculty if you have questions.

General Instructions

The purpose of this discussion is to examine an assigned disease process and determine which disease process explored in the discussion Janessa, the client, is experiencing. Follow the instructions below and your faculty member will reveal which disease process Janessa is experiencing at the end of the discussion week.

Step 1: Review the following client scenario:

Janessa, a 41-year-old female client, presents to the NP complaining of shortness of breath, weakness, and dizziness for about a month. She denies having a cough or recent illness. She has a history of endometriosis, and her physical assessment reveals her lungs are clear to auscultation bilaterally, and her mucous membranes are pale.

Step 2: Review your assigned disease process from the chart below. Your assigned disease process is based on the first letter of your last name.

Last Name	Disease Process
A H	Condition: Anemia
I P	Condition: Heart Failure
Q Z	Condition: Asthma

Step 3: Review your assigned disease process and answer the discussion prompts below with explanation and detail, providing complete references for all citations.

Step 4: Reply to a peer with a different assigned condition.

Include the following sections:

1. ApplicationofCourseKnowledge: Answer all questions/criteria with explanations and detail.

1. Discuss the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of your assigned disease process. Which clinical manifestations observed in Janessas case could be explained by the pathophysiological mechanisms?
2. Analyze Janessas clinical manifestations in the context of your assigned disease process. Do these findings support a diagnosis of your assigned disease process? Why or why not?
3. Identify and justify the diagnostic tests (including labs, imaging, or other diagnostic tests) that would be most appropriate for investigating a diagnosis of your assigned disease process in Janessa. What could the results of these tests look like in your assigned disease process?
4. Compare and contrast your response with a peer who was assigned a different condition. Does their condition fit Janessas case? Why or why not?

Introduction

In your professional life, youll need to find credible evidence to support decisions and plans of action. This assessment helps you practice research skills by investigating a current healthcare problem or issue.

You will select a current healthcare problem or issue from the provided options for this assessment. Research your topic, and develop a written assessment, which includes an annotated bibliography to document your resources.

The purpose of this assessment is to ensure you know how to research topics and find credible references to use in your assessments. Part of the assessment is an annotated bibliography. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to document a list of research references, along with key information about each; the detail about the reference is the annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge about your chosen problem or issue.

This assessment is a culmination of the resources found throughout the previous assessment resources. You may need to refresh on the topics to successfully complete this assessment.

This assessment has three partsall three parts must be submitted to pass the assessment.

A 35 page annotated bibliography (not including the title page or reference page).

Navigating to the Capella library.

Showing the search engine, database(s), and key words you have used.

You do not need to appear on video but you should narrate your actions.

Prepare

You must select your healthcare-related issue or problem from the topic areas presented in this resource.

Articles should be published within the last five years.
