1. Your paper should be 5-6 pages long (double-spaced, 12 font) not including the references and title page). You should have a reference page of at least eight (8) academic sources, including at least five (5) primary research sources that specifically answer the review question. Use APA format for references and citations. All papers must be submitted to be reviewed for similarity, any paper with a score of 20% or higher in the similarity index, will receive an automatic 0, and will not be reviewed until the similarity score is below 20%. 2. Choose a problem faced by clients in your practice area that you think is important and would like to learn more about (Use Activity 1 to identify the problem). Use your knowledge of PICO to develop a well-built narrow clinical question. For example: In adult patients with total hip replacements (P), how effective is pain medication (I) compared to aerobic stretching (C) in controlling post-operative pain (O)? (the development of the PICO question should not be included in the paper) (Use discussion 2 & 3). Write a five (5) to six (6) page literature review paper on the standing knowledge of the chosen question. Include a minimum of five (5) journal articles, at least three (3) from nursing journals. However, make sure that the (5) journals are the ones analyzed and synthesized in the results and discussion sections. The body of the paper should be made of the following titled sections: Title (introduction), Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Provide a specific and concise tentative title for your literature review paper (You may use the results or at least the variables in the title). The abstract is not required Include a 1-page introduction of your topic (background information), the focus/aim of your review. The introduction should include a statement of the problem, briefly explain the significance of your topic study, and act to introduce the reader to your definitions and background. Must include your main statement (i.e. the purpose of this review is…{PICO Question}). The method section should include sources, databases, keywords, inclusion/exclusion criteria, levels of evidence, and other information that establishes credibility to your paper (Use discussion 4 & 5). The results should summarize the findings of studies that have been conducted on your topic. For each study, you should briefly explain its purpose, procedure for data collection, and major findings. This is the section where you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of studies (Use discussion 6 and activity 2). Submit a table of the studies as per the matrix development (see discussion 7). The discussion should be like a conclusion portion of an essay paper. It serves as a summary of the body of your literature review and should highlight the most important findings. Your analysis should help you to draw conclusions. In this section, you would discuss any consensus or disagreement on the topic. It can also include any strengths and weaknesses in general of the research area. If you believe there is more to research, you may include that here. Finally, you will need to conclude your paper. At this point, you have put substantial effort into your paper. Close this chapter with a summary of the paper, major findings, and any major recommendations for the profession. In general, your paper should show a sense of direction and contain a definite central idea supported with evidence. The writing should be logical, and the ideas should be linked together in a logical sequence. The ideas need to be put together clearly for the writer and for the reader.

Using the American College of Cardiology Atrial Fibrillation Management Guidelines Review 1 patient record for atrial fibrillation management.

Please address assessment and medication review for this patient, including physical assessment, diagnostic tests, for stroke and embolism prevention, anticoagulant load and warning signs, and patient education.

Prepare a reflective journal about your experience in the assessment and management recommendations for your patient. Reflective writing includes several different components: description, analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and future application. Reflective writers must weave their personal perspectives with evidence of deep, critical thought as they make connections between theory, practice, and learning.

Below is a link to the movie “Outbreak”. Please know that this movie does have strong language and has content that could be sensitive to children. You need to watch a good deal of this movie in order to answer the assignment as well as the Discussion question for this week.

Summary:

“Colonel Dr. Sam Daniels has just divorced his wife Robby Keough, who works at the CDC. Out of the blue, he is assigned by his superior General Billy Ford to investigate a lethal disease in an African village with his crew formed by the scientist Casey Schuler and Major Dr. Salt. They are impressed by the disease and Colonel Daniels reports to General Ford his findings afraid of contamination in the USA. However General Ford tells that the disease kills so fast that would never reach their country. However, an African smuggled monkey carrier of the disease is brought to USA and the customs employee Jimbo Scott unsuccessfully tries to sell the animal. He releases the monkey in the woods and spreads the disease in the beginning of an outbreak in a small town in California. Now Colonel Daniels, his ex-wife and their teams must fight the invisible enemy while Colonel Daniels discovers dark secrets from his superior General Donald McClintock.”

For this assignment and subsequent discussion this week – please watch the movie “Outbreak”. Watch from the beginning to 75 minutes in and again from 1:13:50 – 1:19. (Feel free to watch all of it – but for the purposes of the assignment, you will be able to answer the applicable questions from that part.)

This week we talked about the concepts of deontological, utilitarianism and virtue based ethics.

• For each specific groups from the movie below, share which of the three major areas within normative ethics (utilitarian, deontological, and virtue) you think they most likely embody and be specific why
• What is the ethical perspective of the viral researchers/doctors?
• What is the ethical perspective of the people of the town?
• What is the ethical perspective of the military?
• What is the ethical perspective of the individual in the boardroom before bringing concerns to the President, (around 69:37) when they talk about the standards of the Constitution and the right of Americans to have life, liberty, or property with due process?
• What about the Military’s personnel at the end of the movie who make the decision about bombing the town? (1:13:50 – 1:19)
