Write a 2-3 page paper that focuses on breastfeeding vs formula feeding and breastfeeding guidelines.

/in /by

Review the Course Project Case Study below. Write a 2-3 page paper that focuses on breastfeeding vs formula feeding and breastfeeding guidelines.

Use ONE recent evidence-based articles to compare and contrast breastfeeding versus formula feeding and in particular discuss what you found in relation to Mrs. G. and her situation. Provide a set of guidelines that might be helpful to Mrs. G. as she “tries again” to breastfeed. Identify how and when it may be “best” for her to move from breastfeeding to formula.

This assignment must have accurate spelling and grammar and use APA Editorial Format for in-text citations and sources.

You have been assigned to provide care and education for Mrs. G.

Case Study

Mrs. G., a twenty year old mother of a 2 year old is pregnant. English is not her primary language. She is recently married (one year) to a man in his early 40s who is not of her culture (She comes from Nigeria). The toddler is not this man’s child. She had difficulty with her first pregnancy; high blood pressure and spotting.

As she goes through her pregnancy she finds that her first trimester is difficult managing her health and the toddler. She is not used to having children and finds the toddler challenging. She also finds that she is having some of the same symptoms as she did during her last pregnancy. She is not comfortable going to an American doctor and tells her husband that she can take care of herself as she did during her last pregnancy. He is not happy about this decision and tells her that she has to go. He takes her to the doctor several times during her pregnancy but is not sure his wife is following the medical instructions being given.

By the end of her pregnancy she has gained more weight than she had anticipated. She could not understand why as she was eating her native foods. The doctor told her that she had high blood pressure. She was not sure what that meant as she felt the same as she did during the first pregnancy.

Labor was painful, long and difficult and while she had a vaginal birth the baby was small and experienced some respiratory distress at birth. She decided to again breastfeed even though she could only do it for a few weeks the last time. She was told that she had a “small supply of milk”.

In the first few weeks of taking care of the newborn, her husband wanted to be a part of the caring process and she was not happy as “men don’t do that”. She also found that with this baby she felt much more tired and had a hard time managing both children. In fact, the toddler became cranky and was aggressive to the newborn, trying to bite and scratch the new baby.

The husband again took her to the doctor after birth and then again for several months. He also insisted that she see a pediatrician for both children. At the doctor’s offices they told her that they had to “assess” the children to be sure they were “normal”. When she was told this, she was frightened.

As a few months passed, she became more lethargic and tired. Two children were more than she could deal with. Sometimes she could barely get out of bed. Yet, she knew that she was trying to do all of what she was told by both doctors and her husband. She really loved her children and respected her husband.

When her newborn was six months old she found out that she was pregnant again. She knew that it would be a mistake to have another child because her husband had just informed her that his two children from another marriage (6 and 12 years old who has asthma) was going to be living with them now and she would need to be taking care of them as well.

: Creating a Screencast

Many people today have become intrinsic consumers of knowledge and search the Internet daily for both personal and professional reasons. Nurse educators can build on these natural, information-seeking tendencies by using Screencasts (also known as webcasts). Screencasts, a popular tool in both education and industry, allow presenters to record the output of their computer screen. Similar to asking a colleague to sit at your side while you describe the features of new software to him or her, a Screencast allows you to record and share your screen. This asynchronous capability is especially beneficial to nurse educators who teach students in online and hybrid environments.

For this Assignment, you create a Screencast. Over the next 3 weeks, you will engage in the following phases:

·         Design: During this phase you create a script for your Screencast.

·         Record: During this phase, you will use your script to create a 3- to 5-minute Screencast. Your Screencast must include both audio and video.

·         Share: You will be submitting your script and your Screencast to your instructor for graded feedback.

To prepare (Design Phase)

·         Review this week’s media presentation, Screencast Demonstration. Reflect on the content presented by Dr. Tim Bristol. In addition, consider how the computer output and audio narration might have increased student understanding and engagement.

·         Reflect on the learning needs of an audience that you might teach in the future. Of these needs, which concept, skill, or process might you effectively teach by recording your computer screen? Furthermore, which websites or computer programs might you utilize during your instruction?

·         Review the Screencast Script: An Example document. View Dr. Bristol’s Screencast a second time, comparing the script to his onscreen navigation and dialogue.

·         Select your audience of learners and learning need. The learning need that you select for your Screencast must be different than one chosen for a previous Discussion or Assignment. You may, however, select the same audience of learners.

·         Refer to the Assignment Planner document for specific details and requirements for completing this Assignment.

·         Begin to design your script for the Screencast using the Screencast Template document.

Components to complete for this Assignment*

·         Final version of Screencast Script

 

·         3- to 5-minute Screencast
