WEEK1/ANSWER TO PROFESSOR/ DICUSSION

first part is my discussion 

 

Physical Examination

Physical examination is the evaluation of anatomic findings by using observation, percussion, palpation, and auscultation to obtain information about the patient. Many people who visit healthcare providers follow their instructions but wonder what they are doing or what they are looking for. During a physical examination, a healthcare practitioner is gathering cues to be able to diagnose. When a physical examination is thoughtfully integrated with the information that they provide, history, and path physiology, they should yield at least 20% data that is necessary for diagnosis and management of the patient (Sawyer, 2012). An examination of a 12-year-old child to find the likely cause of the symptoms portrayed would assist in diagnosing the child.

You are admitting a 12-year-old child to your unit. The mother states that the child has a history of unexplained blackout episodes, headaches, sleep disturbances, and is presently exhibiting tremors. What is the most likely cause of these symptoms? What actions would you take during the interview process? Explain.

I have chosen the 12 year old patient for this discussion.

When conducting a physical assessment on children it is imperative to start the collaboration relationship process between the patient and their family members and myself, as the nurse with effective communication strategies. I would first introduce myself to the patient and mother of the patient and explain to the both of them the purpose of the assessment being performed and how the information that they provide will be utilize appropriately. One important aspect to explain to both of them is that the information that they provide to me is protected by HIPAA.

I would then use open-ended questions (i.e. what brings you in today) to direct the interview to gain the patient’s history from either the child or from the mother. If more information is needed then I would utilize closed-ended questions or direct statements (i.e. how long has these symptoms been going on) to clarify any additional information.

Next, I would take the patient’s vitals and a complete head-to-toe assessment with an emphasis on the neurological system exam, all while explaining to the patient and the mother the reason for me having to do this. By me explaining step-by-step what I am doing will help me to better build a rapport with them as well as giving the patient and the mother a sense of being aware of what is going on, so that if they have any questions I will be able to answer these for them.

It would be pretty apparent that with the symptoms that the patient is experiencing may be due to some type of neurological condition. Patient would then need to be referred to a neurologist for further testing to confirm a proper diagnosis.

week 2 q2 spr

Since I am a team lead on my unit, I frequently teach nursing students or new orientees. I initially chose the article about the nursing student’s first clinical experience- this was a conversation we recently had at work- but the entire article was written in some Nordic language that I can’t read. I was disappointed because I was very interested in the subject.

Gender and poverty in South Africa in the era of HIV/AIDS: A quantitative study.

Research problems: The research problem suggested in this article is the need for further investigation into why this group of under-educated, poverty stricken head of households “single women had a significantly higher HIV prevalence than married, divorced, or widowed women.”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between gender, socio-economic status, and HIV infection rates.

Objective: The goal of this article was to educate the reader on a correlation between gender, poverty, and HIV infection rates in South Africa. It suggests that as a targeted group with a very high risk, by supporting these women with continued education opportunities and the betterment of their economic status may be an important step in the fight against HIV (Shisana, Rice, Zungu, & Zuma, 2010).

Hypothesis: The single female head of household population in South Africa is more likely to live in poverty, and is at higher risk for HIV infection.

Credibility and Validity: The statements included in the article describing the sources of information, the ratio of males to females, the manner in which they were surveyed, all add to the validity of the research.  “The way samples are selected, responses are measured, and data are managed can all inhibit or enhance validity” (Houser, 2018). As the reader it would be difficult to prove or disprove the facts and figures presented, but we must trust that the process of being published in a respected medical journal would lend itself to the credibility of the sources.
