topic is lower back injuries in carpenters

 The assignment should consist of
 

(i) A brief description of the industry, processes, tasks, equipment and workgroup (up to 500 words).
 

(ii) An overview of the nature of the hazard and the potential health effects which may arise from exposure, as described in the scientific literature. (up to 500 words)

You must outline the strategy you adopted in searching the literature (up to 200 words)
 

(iii) How the risk is assessed. (up to 500 words)
 

(iv) The practicalities of controlling the hazard. (up to 500 words)
 

(v) A critical overview of the problem e.g. In your opinion, are problems such as these being assessed and managed adequately at present? What research, if any, is called for? (up to 300 words)
 

(vi) References. Presented in standard format. e.g. Author, Date.

 

The assignment should not exceed 2500 words in length (excluding tables, figures and references).
You should aim for 2000 words.

 Important: This assignment is designed to promote your understanding of how to do a rapid search of the scientific literature, interpret exposure levels in relation to standards and how to write a report of a professional standard. It is expected that students will have already conducted a search using Medline (PubMed) or Scopus.

Higher marks will be awarded for depth rather than breadth. It is also more interesting for the reader. The more specific you can be about the problem in a particular context (including your own perspective if it is your workplace) the better.

The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children.

When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Children even respond differently during stages from infancy to adolescence. This poses potential safety concerns when prescribing drugs to pediatric patients. As an advanced practice nurse, you have to be aware of safety implications of the off-label use of drugs with this patient group.

To prepare:

· Review the Bazzano et al. and Mayhew articles in the Learning Resources. Reflect on situations in which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use.

· Think about strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Consider specific off-label drugs that you think require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post an explanation of circumstances under which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use. Then, describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Include descriptions and names of off-label drugs that require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.
