Musculoskeletal

Using the information from the musculoskeletal content of this Module and the Lifespan content in Shadow
Health, select from the infant, pediatric or older adult age groups and discuss what components of the history
and physical may be different for the age group selected. Identify any special tests that may be performed.

Presenting Statistical Results for Decision Making

HAC_Rate: That’s the number of HACs per 1,000 discharges. You could say it’s the measure for the extent of
hospital errors.
Nursing_HPPD: That’s the number of nursing staff hours per patient day. It’s the hospital’s nurse staffing level.
Skill_Mix: That’s obviously about skill mix, but specifically, it’s the percentage of nursing staff hours that are
provided by registered nurses, as opposed to other professionals.
ALOS: That stands for average length of stay; it’s the number of inpatient days per hospital discharge. It’s a
measure of how efficient the hospital is.
-discharge stats. I’m-confining the analysis to the last full year-the number of discharges for last year was
10,000. That includes both adult and pediatric discharges.
-data about staff costs related to nursing. I’ve got three numbers for you.
-Our cost per nurse is $72,000. Now, that’s an average of nurses and registered nurses.
-Our cost per registered nurse is $85,000.
-Per licensed practical nurse, it’s $52,000. Those numbers include salary, benefits, and overhead.
-Our cost per inpatient day is $2,600, and the penalty per HAC is $5,700.
Remember, it’s the board and I need to give them the statistical results they need to make a decision, not just
every bit of data we have. I need to make a data-driven recommendation to the board.

Gross Motor Observation

This project provides an observational exercise for examining the gross motor activity of children. Observe two
infants, one about 6 months old and the other about 1 year old. For each infant, describe five gross motor
behaviors the infant performs while you are observing. (See your text for sample behavior to note.) Then
answer the questions that follow.
Infant 1 Infant 2
Sex___Age___ Sex___Age___
Behavior 1 ( ) Behavior 1 ( )
Behavior 2 ( ) Behavior 2 ( )
Behavior 3 ( ) Behavior 3 ( )
Behavior 4 ( ) Behavior 4 ( )
Behavior 5 ( ) Behavior 5 ( )
Questions

  1. What were the five behaviors you observed?
  2. In general how can these behaviors be characterized or described for the 6-month-old?
    For the 1-year-old?
  3. How did the infants differ in the way they performed the behaviors?
  4. From your observations of the two infants and five behaviors, what do you see as the course of development
    of gross motor behavior between 6 months and 1 year? How do your specific findings compare with the
    general descriptions reported in the text? Be specific.
