For this assignment you need to view my short 10-minute video below (also on the Module instructions page). You will be making a calendar grid just like the one I showed you, and it won’t take long. You should be able to do it in about 15 – 30 minutes (if you take more than 45 minutes you’re taking too long–don’t be too worried about color, etc!), and it is a general color-blocking on the grid of your major time commitments. You may select your own colors, but label which items are which–clinicals, sleep, study, class-lecture listening time, eating, etc. Here is the blank grid. Just use your word processor colors and the “fill” icon, rather than the highlight icon, and it will color the various areas. Take a look at the rubric below to make sure you included all needed items. it has to include the Color-coding identifies all 168 hours of the week, including the various major activities of the nursing student’s week,sleep,clinicals and lab,lecture class time,meals,driving time,study time,personal time,other activities. Im a junior 2 student taking only med surg and my probations class. my clinical days are Monday and Tuesday every week for 6 weeks starting on February 16 till March 24th 2026

Use the Typhon samples (PDF files) as guides to rewrite my soap notes (word files)

Students will complete two comprehensive SOAP notes for patient encounters including detailed subjective data such as the chief complaint, HPI (using OLDCARTS), ROS, and pertinent medical, family, and social history. Objective data must document physical exam findings and diagnostic results accurately. The assessment should include a minimum of three well-supported differential diagnoses (using the most likely, least likely, and most concerning format), while the plan must outline evidence-based pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments, follow-up, and patient education. Students will also reflect on the learning experience, discussing challenges, insights, and areas for improvement. The SOAP notes must be posted in APA format on the discussion board with appropriate scholarly sources. Care should include any health maintenance that has occurred and future health maintenance that is due (vaccinations, mammogram, colonoscopy, etc). Care should also include appropriate and valid screening tools.

Additionally, students are required to provide thoughtful, evidence-based replies to three peers, highlighting strengths, offering constructive feedback, and suggesting alternative treatment approaches when applicable. Explanations for medication mechanisms of action must be included, supported by high-quality references. Professionalism, clarity, and adherence to APA formatting are essential to this assignment, which aims to enhance clinical reasoning, communication, and collaborative skills. Note: this assignment should not contain any patient identifiers and should be a patient that the student has recorded in Typhon as a patient encounter.

respond this my classmate’s post on health equity and public health nurse with additional information or support and at least 1 current journal reference.

The main focus of public health nurses is not only to provide optimal healthcare for people of all communities but also to understand what factors are the possible barriers causing the discrepancies amongst groups of people so they can be addressed or rectified. A provision within the American Nurses Association 2025 Code of Ethics states Nurses and their professional organizations work to enact and resource practices, policies and legislation to promote social justice, eliminate health inequities and facilitate human flourishing (ANA, 2025). This is exactly what public health nurses strive to do. By addressing these needs public health nurses can help to improve health equity from the individual to the system level (Hassmiller & Wakefield, 2021).

Public health nurses can help to promote health equity by identifying health disparities, addressing social determinants of health, building and supporting communities, advocating for change and most importantly delivering proper inclusive care. They identify health disparities through data and research of different communities or groups of people. An example of this would be Bergen Countys Community Health Needs Assessment which was conducted by multiple local hospitals in 2025. This consisted of a public survey given out to the communities in hopes of collecting crucial data that paints a picture of possible disparities, barriers or social determinants that could be preventing members of the community from receiving proper care across all areas of human needs. This survey concluded in July of 2025, and the data collected from this survey was then used to initiate the creation of different targeted programs in hopes of eliminating these problems thus resulting in improved access to care (Bergan County of New Jersey, 2025). Public health nurses collecting data about the community helps to gain a different perspective and truly understand what the people need. Once the data is analyzed and trends are identified, public health nurses can work to devise a plan of how to address them or different programs to rectify these barriers. Different examples of programs are food assistance programs, housing, transportation, health clinics and much more to target the areas that were shown to need improvement based on the data collected from the community.

An important task of public health nurses is also advocacy. While collecting, understanding and acting on the data that was collected about a specific community or group of people is important, without advocacy change cannot occur. These nurses work hard to advocate for those who do not have a voice and help enact change to rectify these issues across all levels of the healthcare network. Advocating and supporting the needs of the community are how these nurses make changes to protect the health and wellbeing of the community (Chiu et al., 2021)

Write a brief 2-3 page report about a health care economic issue. Address reasons why you selected the issue and identify how this issue impacts the work of you, your colleagues and your organization; and describe the gap that you see contributing to this issue.

It is anticipated that the initial discussion post should be in the range of 250-300 words. Response posts to peers have no minimum word requirement but must demonstrate topic knowledge and scholarly engagement with peers. Substantive content is imperative for all posts. All discussion prompt elements for the topic must be addressed. Please proofread your response carefully for grammar and spelling. Do not upload any attachments unless specified in the instructions.

This discussion is intended to be a space for you to share your thoughts and ideas. It’s an opportunity for you to explore the topic and reflect personally, using your own voice. While AI is a powerful tool with many applications, it’s not appropriate for this particular assignment. Please ensure that the words you share are your own.

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by scarring of the lung tissue, leading to impaired oxygen exchange and respiratory decline.

1. In your own words, describe the pathophysiology of IPF. How does fibrosis of the alveoli contribute to the clinical presentation?
2. Discuss the nursing assessment priorities for a patient with IPF. Which respiratory symptoms and complications should be monitored closely?
3. Consider the psychosocial implications of living with a progressive lung disease. What nursing interventions or resources would support a patients mental health and coping strategies?
4. Review one evidence-based treatment option (e.g., antifibrotic therapy, pulmonary rehab, or supplemental oxygen). What is the mechanism of action, and how would you explain this treatment to a patient at the BSN level of practice?

Support your responses with evidence from scholarly sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles, textbooks, or professional guidelines).
