When developing a curriculum, it is important to understand not only what needs to be taught, but the type of learners you will be attempting to teach. The choosing of content and concepts for a course or curriculum, the involvement of the learner, and methods for assessment and evaluation can all be determined when using theories to develop a curriculum (Billings and Halstead, 2016, pp 211). More importantly, learning theories provide an explanation of the interaction between student and faculty, the environment set up for learning, and the subject being taught (Billings and Halstead, 2016, pp 211).

            For the course project, our group has chosen Moses Cone Hospital as our setting. It is a Level II trauma center in Greensboro, North Carolina (Cone Health, 2019). The proposed program our group would like to begin at this facility is one directed to educating the registered nurses on how to properly treat the pain of pediatric patients in their facility. This education could be completed with simulations, competencies, online modules, and group discussions. A group member works at this facility and has observed this as an educational opportunity for the staff members.

            The learning theory I chose for this discussion with our group project in mind was the situated learning and situated cognition theory. This theory has a goal of “bringing the real world into the academic setting” (Billings and Halstead, 2016, pp 216). The implications for nursing education for this theory allows for learning experiences including “case studies, role play, simulation, and learning in a clinical setting to immerse students in real-life situations” (Billings and Halstead, 2016, pp 216).

One study found that after a three-month period using situated learning for newly graduated nurse practitioners increased their confidence and competency levels, along with decreasing stress (Chen, Chen, Lee, Chang, & Yeh, 2017). Our program could help increase the knowledge and confidence of those pediatric nurses caring for children with pain. Another study showed that “on-site clinical practicums have been thought to provide a varied experience in learning to nurses. However, there is an inconsistency to clinical opportunities available during these practicums” (Onda, 2012). Clinical simulations of scenarios or patient cases can help the nurses feel comfortable with situations when they arise with patients if they did not see them during their practicum.

In conclusion, developing a curriculum that will satisfy the needs of every nurse that needs or desires the education will not be an easy task. With so many different types of theories to base the education off of, picking the most appropriate could be seen as a challenge. As for our group project, I feel that the situated learning theory would work in a favorable way for the curriculum we are developing for those nurses at Moses Cone Hospital.

Assignment 1: Assessinenitalia and Rectum

Patients are frequently uncomfortable discussing with health care 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 assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

In this assignment, you will analyze a SOAP 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.

GENITALIA ASSESSMENT

Subjective:

• CC: “I have bumps on my bottom that I want to have checked out.”
• HPI: AB, a 21-year-old WF college student reports to your clinic with external bumps on her genital area. She states the bumps are painless and feel rough. She states she is sexually active and has had more than one partner over the past year. Her initial sexual contact occurred at age 18. She reports no abnormal vaginal discharge. She is unsure how long the bumps have been there but noticed them about a week ago. Her last Pap smear exam was 3 years ago, and no dysplasia was found; the exam results were normal. She reports one sexually transmitted infection (chlamydia) about 2 years ago. She completed the treatment for chlamydia as prescribed.
• PMH: Asthma
• Medications: Symbicort 160/4.5mcg
• Allergies: NKDA
• FH: No hx of breast or cervical cancer, Father hx HTN, Mother hx HTN, GERD
• Social: Denies tobacco use; occasional etoh, married, 3 children (1 girl, 2 boys)

Objective:

• VS: Temp 98.6; BP 120/86; RR 16; P 92; HT 5’10”; WT 169lbs
• Heart: RRR, no murmurs
• Lungs: CTA, chest wall symmetrical
• Genital: Normal female hair pattern distribution; no masses or swelling. Urethral meatus intact without erythema or discharge. Perineum intact with a healed episiotomy scar present. Vaginal mucosa pink and moist with rugae present, pos for firm, round, small, painless ulcer noted on external labia
• Abd: soft, normoactive bowel sounds, neg rebound, neg murphy’s, neg McBurney
• Diagnostics: HSV specimen obtained

Assessment:

• Chancre
• PLAN: This section is not required for the assignments in this course (NURS 6512) but will be required for future courses.

To prepare:

With regard to the SOAP note case study provided:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
• 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.

To complete:

Refer to Chapter 5 of the Sullivan text. Analyze the SOAP note case study.  Using evidence based resources, 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 3 different references from current evidence based literature.

Me    6 posts   Re: Topic 4 DQ 1  I agree with you that the first step to bringing about change in the community is to know the community. One should acknowledge and understand the need for such change. It is usually very tempting to see that something needs fixing and quickly jump into a solution. One should resist this temptation and instead take the time to study the community to get a clear understanding of all the needed change.I, further, agree with you that understanding the healthcare system at the local level involves important questions such as those you mentioned. One needs to understand the services offered in the community so that they can be effective while implementing evidence-based practice. To implement the right change in the community, it is important for the healthcare professionals to put their biases aside and talk to the people on the ground, to get a good understanding of what matters most to the citizens. In the long run, this prevents the implementation of underused EBP initiatives (Saunders & Vehviläinen-Julkunen, 2018). Carrying out such an assessment for the community will help in the identification of the available community resources and how those services can be accessed for the benefit of the patient.I also agree with the insights of your mentor about the importance of focusing on lead education especially in this day and age. I think than this is an area that has not received a lot of attention and tends to be ignored yet it is very important especially for community health. Basing your research in this field will add to the exiting limited knowledge hence contribute to the future body of research. Generally, I find your post to be very informative. All the best.  References  Saunders, H., & Vehviläinen-Julkunen, K. (2018).
