Faculty will assign you either DQ 1 or DQ 2. Please answer all parts of the DQ.

Discussion Question Response: By, post your complete response to one of the discussion questions in the appropriate threads in the Discussion Area by due date assigned.

Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. Assigned course readings and online library resources are preferred. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.

In your discussion question response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response; is factually correct with relevant scholarly citations, references, and examples that demonstrate a clear connection to the readings.

In your participation responses to your peers, comments must demonstrate thorough analysis of postings and extend meaningful discussion by building on previous postings.

Discussion Question 1

Answer the following:

    Coaching and mentoring should be a core competency of nurses prepared at the graduate level. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Defend your response.

    Based on your graduate specialization, identify one coaching activity that you can do in this advanced practice role. What strategies would you employ for this activity?

    Describe one mentoring activity you might complete with a mentor that would help you to acclimate to your new advance practice role. Should this activity be structured or unstructured?

 

Discussion Question 2

Consultation is a core competency of graduate nursing. Answer the following:

    Differentiate consultation from supervision?

    Are consultation and collaboration synonymous? Defend your response.

    Give an example on how you have seen the consultation competency practiced in your current nursing area. Explain if the practice followed the graduate competency criteria.

Based on your selected MSN program, write your first section of your ROLE paper using the following criteria:

For this assignment, you will research an advanced nursing practice role and summarize your findings in a 3 page paper (excluding the title page and references):

• Focusing on the specialty (Family Nurse Practitioner), select an advanced nursing role to research. (It must be one offered by South University.)
• Distinguish the role as clinical or non-clinical and how it promotes patient outcomes, ie safety, access to health care or health information relative to the ANP level
• Apply an Advance Nursing Practice Concept to your chosen role
•  Develop a minimum of ten questions that you would like to ask the advance practice clinician or non-clinician that you have chosen to interview.  Identify in the paper the individual by name, credentials, position and your planned date for the interview (Interview is due Week 3)
• Support your findings with at least two research articles (study, design, sample and results must be discussed). Other peer reviewed articles that are non-research and nursing organization websites may be used. All articles must be current (not more than five years old, unless it is a hallmark reference; ieAmerican Association of College of Nursing. (2010)).
• Format your paper, citations, and references using correct APA Style.

Submit: Annotation of a Qualitative Research Article

This week, you will submit the annotation of a qualitative research article on a topic of your interest. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.

An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source topic. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10.

An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.

Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.

It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.

1. Use the Walden library database to search for a qualitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
2. Before you read the full article and begin your annotation, locate the methodology section in the article to be sure that the article describes a qualitative study. Confirm that one of the types of qualitative research designs or approaches, such as narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, or phenomenology, was used in the study.
3. Annotate one qualitative research article from a peer-reviewed journal on a topic of your interest.
4. Provide the reference list entry for this article in APA Style followed by a three-paragraph annotation that includes:
   • A summary
   • An analysis
   • An application as illustrated in this example
   • Format your annotation in Times New Roman, 12-point font, double-spaced. A separate References list page is not needed for this assignment.

Comment 1

Mucor reminds me of necrotizing fasciitis which is caused by a bacteria rather than a fungus.  In addition to surgical debridement and bronchoscopy it is recommended patients receive a MRI because they“can demonstrate soft tissue lesions better than CT scan(Mohammadi et al., 2014).  This will allow the healthcare team to monitor the progress of the treatment.

Comment 2

our post subject description covers multiple aspects of Mucus and immunocompromising conditions as the main risk factor for mucormycosis. You also indicated that patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, especially those with ketoacidosis, are also at high risk. I will add that other risk-factors for the development of mucormycosis are ketoacidosis (diabetic or other), iatrogenic immunosuppression, use of corticosteroids or deferoxamine, disruption of mucocutaneous barriers by catheters and other devices, and exposure to bandages contaminated by these fungi. Mucus is a very dangerous virus, as it invades deep tissues via inhalation of airborne spores, percutaneous inoculation or ingestion. Probable diagnosis of mucormycosis requires the combination of various clinical data and the isolation in culture of the fungus from clinical samples; and treatment of mucormycosis requires a rapid diagnosis, correction of predisposing factors, surgical resection, debridement and appropriate antifungal therapy.

Comment 3

In the medscape article I noted I found that in most of the Mucor cases the patient had risk factors such as diabetic ketoacidosis  and neutropenia were present. Since that is our discussion I highlighted this. It was also interesting to look at pediatric cases of Mucor in a related article. In this article, “pediatric mucormycosis was reviewed, such as infection involving immunosuppressed children; this disease has also been observed in neonates (especially premature infants), patients with burns, and children with a history of incidental trauma.”  the article did not mention Diabetic ketoacidosis. (Varman, 2017)
