Setting The Stage For Learning Discussion

/in /by

There are many important and similar types of common activities in early childhood programs today. It is most effective for the experiences to be child-directed with positive outcomes. Six of the most common activities are:

  • Exploratory play
  • Guided discovery
  • Problem Solving
  • Discussions
  • Demonstrations
  • Direct Instruction

Select a developmentally appropriate picture book. Choose at least three of the above-listed activities and share specific examples of how you would implement them in your classroom.

  • Discuss three ways in which you could create a group time around the story.
  • Identify what standards from your state support these activities

What side effects of each medication will you caution the patient to be alert for?

Cardiovascular Disorders

As noted in this week’s introduction, cardiovascular diseases rank among the top leading causes of death in the United States. Hypertension is known as the silent killer; heart disease in women is often misdiagnosed; many cardiovascular illnesses are not quickly diagnosed for a variety of reasons. The good news is there are many pharmacological interventions for treating cardiovascular disorders. As a nurse, it is vital that you are aware of the characteristics of the drugs used to treat them.

Read the following case study. While reading, reflect on your own knowledge of the pathophysiology of the pharmacological interventions and your role as a nurse in assisting patients to maximize the effects of pharmacologic treatment.

Case Study:

You are the assigned nurse for Mrs. K, a 63-year-old Caucasian female admitted to the telemetry unit following a presentation to the ER 3 days ago with a 2-hour history of pain her left shoulder radiating up to her neck. EKG and enzymes ruled her in for AMI and she successfully completed a catheterization with a stent in the right coronary artery.  Her past medical history was significant only for hypertension for 10 years which was managed with HCTZ 25 mg daily. She is slightly overweight, and reports that she does not have time to exercise regularly, as she commutes over 1 hour each way to her secretarial job daily. Her meals are irregular, and often consist of convenience foods.

Her physician enters the room while you are providing care to tell her that her labs have indicated that she now has type II diabetes mellitus and that he is adding Metformin 250 bid daily. In addition, he is adding atorvastatin (Lipitor) 80 mg daily, ASA 81mg daily, clopidogrel 75 mg daily, metoprolol 100 mg b.i.d. and enalopril (Vasotec) 10 mg daily for the newly diagnosed coronary artery disease.

Reflect on the patient’s personal scenario presented in this Case Study and address the following in a 2- to 3-page paper:

Based on the case study, respond to the following:

  • Evaluate and explain the rationale for the addition of each of these new medications and contraindications to their use.
  • What side effects of each medication will you caution the patient to be alert for?
  • What additional teaching will be required for the patient prior to discharge?

Support your ideas or those of others with references from the professional nursing literature. Refer to the “Cardiovascular Disorders Application Rubric” prior to submission.

The purpose of the literature review, using peer-reviewed published research, is to summarize key findings of research that promotes the use of technology and telecommunications in nursing. In this assignment, you will gain the experience of conducting a literature review of a selected topic on the use of technology and telecommunications in health care.

For this assignment, you will:

 

1)Select a topic on a specific patient care technology or telecommunication in health care that you have interest in reviewing. Topic examples:

Wireless communication solutions.

Real-time location systems.

Delivery robots.

Workflow management systems.

Wireless patient monitoring solutions.

Electronic medication administration with bar coding.

Telehealth.

Electronic clinical documentation with clinical decision support.

Interactive patient systems.

2)Select studies published during the past five years.

Select four appropriate peer-reviewed, research-based articles. These studies may be qualitative, quantitative, or outcomes-based. Note: The articles should NOT be a meta-analysis.

3) Use the   following organizational format and complete a summary of key findings in each study using the table format presented in the text.
