Assignment: Lab Assignment: Assessing the Genitalia and Rectum.

Patients are frequently uncomfortable discussing with healthcare  professional’s issues that involve the genitalia and rectum; however,  gathering an adequate history and properly conducting a physical exam  are vital. Examining case studies of genital and rectal abnormalities  can help prepare advanced practice nurses to accurately assess patients  with problems in these areas.In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an  Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients  seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be  collected from the patients, as well as which physical exams and  diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a  differential diagnosis with several possible conditions. 

                                           To Prepare

Review the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for  this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of  the classroom for your Episodic note case study.Based on the Episodic  note case study:

Search the Walden library or the Internet for evidence-based resources to support your answers to the questions provided.

Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.

Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be  appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. 

How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?

Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

                                        The Lab Assignment

Using evidence-based resources from your search, answer the following  questions and support your answers using current evidence from the  literature.

Analyze the subjective portion of the note. 

List additional information that should be included in the documentation.Analyze the objective portion of the note. 

List additional information that should be included in the documentation.

Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?

Would diagnostics be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?

Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? 

Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. 

Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.

Assignment: Leadership Styles and Decision-Making

We have all been influenced by leaders at some point in our lives. Individuals make decisions in a way that achieves set goals. They demonstrate their leadership when they follow through on those decisions to ensure that they were the right decisions. Individuals show the way when they model to teams and others how to accomplish the tasks at hand. However, leaders vary greatly in their decision-making, in part because of their own particular leadership styles. Similar to emotional intelligence, it is important to be aware of your own leadership style as well as the leadership styles of effective healthcare leaders and managers and how those styles affect decision-making.

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Consider the characteristics of leaders described in your Learning Resources.
• Select two individuals from the Good Samaritan Hospital with different leadership styles.
• Consider how the leadership styles of these individuals might have influenced their decision-making.

By Day 7

Write a 1- to 2-page paper that identifies the following:

1. Explain the true value of leadership in decision-making.
2. Describe one decision your selected leaders from Good Samaritan Hospital made or might have made. Then, describe their leadership styles and how these leadership styles might influence their decision-making.
3. Using examples from your own personal work experience, how do employees perceive decision-making based on a healthcare manager’s leadership style?
4. What leadership decision-making style do you believe is most effective in a healthcare setting of your choice?

Be sure to support your work with specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and additional scholarly sources as appropriate. Refer to the Essential Guide to APA Style for Walden Students to ensure that your in-text citations and reference list are correct
