  • Discussion.

    The nurse practitioner (NP) is working at a health clinic in a homeless shelter during the early evening. A 48-year-old African American man approaches the practitioner and asks to have his blood pressure taken, saying that he has not had it checked in a while.

    The man appears to be in some type of distress and experiencing pain. The man walks slowly, using a guarded manner, and he appears diaphoretic. His mucous membranes also appear pale. The patients blood pressure is 210/98. The patient reports that he has not been diagnosed with hypertension previously. The patient reveals that he has severe abdominal pain that is radiating to his back. The nurse finds a heart rate of 110, respirations 30 with shallow inspirations, and temperature 102.2F. The patients skin is cool and clammy.

    The patient reports a history of alcoholism, homelessness, and lack of access to health care. He says that the symptoms have been present and worsening over 3 days. The man says he thinks he might have pancreatitis again, which he had a couple of years ago. The NP recommends that the man should be seen at a hospital for his condition, but the patient says he does not have health insurance, so he does not want to go.

    The NP proceeds with a physical examination, finding severe abdominal pain in the epigastric area, yellowed sclera, no abdominal distention, and hypoactive bowel sounds. The clinic is equipped with basic materials but no means to conduct lab or radiologic testing.

    Discuss the following:

    1. Considering the patients homelessness and lack of insurance, what action should the practitioner take?
    2. When the patient asks why his condition cannot be managed outside of the hospital, how should the practitioner respond?
    3. When the patient arrives at the hospital for further diagnostic work-up, what tests will likely be performed to evaluate the patients condition?
    4. How will the severity of the pancreatitis be assessed when the patient is hospitalized?
    5. How should the patients condition be managed when hospitalized?
    6. What patient education should be included after the pancreatitis is resolved?

    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

  • NP reimbursement and financial analysis in primary care

    This project evaluates your ability to analyze NP reimbursement, credentialing requirements, and financial performance metrics. You will calculate RVUs, payer mix, and cost-per-visit for an NP-led practice, demonstrating your financial literacy for safe and sustainable practice. For this assignment, you will apply a payer mix of your choosing (e.g., Medicare, Medicaid, commercial). Your selected mix should be realistic for an NP-led primary care practice and must total 100%. Use your mix consistently in your calculations and interpretation. You will use this Module 4 Weekly Practice Dataset Download Module 4 Weekly Practice Dataset to complete your calculations. Use this Module_4_Reimbursement_Calculation_Worksheet Revised 2026.docx Download Module_4_Reimbursement_Calculation_Worksheet Revised 2026.docx to organize your RVU, revenue, and payer mix calculations. You may include the worksheet in an appendix AFTER your paper, or, embed your completed worksheet tables into your paper. Part A Credentialing Analysis Using course readings and Buppert Ch. 9 + Appendix 9-A: Identify credentialing requirements for: Medicare Medicaid One commercial payer of your choice Explain why credentialing matters for: Compliance Billing integrity Timely reimbursement Part B Reimbursement & RVU Calculations Using the Module 4 Practice Dataset (weekly visit volume) provided in the module: Calculate: Total RVUs generated in one week Gross revenue Cost-per-visit Adjusted reimbursement after payer mix adjustment Interpret Your Findings: What contributes most to revenue?

  • Wearable Technology

    Description:

    This presentation is designed to help students better understand the use of emerging wearable technology for healthcare needs.

    Wearable technology is defined as inventing, designing, building, or using miniature computational and sensory devices that one puts on ones body. Smaller computer systems that one wears, and high-quality voice-activated inventions will facilitate the use of computers in nursing practice. One can wear wearable computers under, over, or within clothing. Sometimes, the device is the actual clothing. Wearable computing concerns devices that a person can put on. Examples include clothing or watches, jewelry, google glasses, and other accessories. Emerging wearable devices are being used to provide remote monitoring of physiologic parameters in care settings, or even in patients own homes. This includes telehealth, which is described in chapter 18 of your textbook, and you will have an opportunity to explore this technology later in the course.

    • Your assignment is to research emerging wearable technology and develop a PowerPoint proposal on taking a non-healthcare-related technology and using it or adapting it to meet the needs of patients with health needs. Please be as creative as you can and really let your imagination flow. Read chapter 3 in your textbook and refer back to pages 59-61, and review the Future of the human-computer interface in chapter 11. Search the index of your textbook as well for other sections that discuss wearable technology, for example, legal issues (Ch 5), human-technology interface (Ch 11-p 211), and promoting patient safety (Ch 15, p. 310-313).
    • The deliverable for this project is a PowerPoint Presentation with at least 6 slides (plus a title and a reference slide) and 3 pictures only.
    • Adding more than 3 pictures will increase the file size to a point where it will not upload to Safe Assign. Be sure to give ownership credit for your pictures.
    • Include 3-8 sentences in the notes section at the bottom of each PowerPoint slide. These notes should describe the slide and its purpose as if you were giving an oral presentation.
    • Your presentation should be creative, visually appealing, and engaging. Be sure to review it for spelling, grammar, and syntax errors. Be sure the references slide uses APA format.

    As an outline, please use the following slide headings.

    • Title
    • Introduction (Define Wearable Technology)
    • Emerging Technology (Present your technology)
    • Health Care Applications (How can this technology be adapted in health care)
    • Pros and Cons
    • Conclusion
    • References ( Minimum 3- be sure to use APA format)

    When you finish writing the notes for your presentation, submit it to Safe Assign, and then review its report. Avoid direct quotes, and be sure to paraphrase (use your own words) this will help you get better Safe Assign scores.

    Please develop your presentation making sure that you have addressed each section of the grading rubric.

    Please pay attention to the APA reference format.

    Attached is more details of the assignment, along with the textbook that is used in this class (it is talked about in the instructions) and the grading rubric for the assignment please follow it very closely
