In clinical settings, patients often present with many different types of anemia. Each type of anemia has its own causes and implications. For this reason, you must be able to differentiate between types of anemia as well as identify factors that put patients at greater risk of experiencing related complications. As you prepare for this Discussion, consider the following patient case studies:

Case Study 2:

A 28-year old female presents for a routine physical. She has no complaints. Her personal medical history reveals asthma that is well controlled with an albuterol inhaler prn and Advair 250/50 1 puff BID. Social history reveals she is a nursing student who is a non-smoker, rarely uses alcohol, and is mostly vegetarian. Her physical exam is negative, and she is sent for a CBC/differential and lipid profile. Laboratory results reveal the following: Hemoglobin 10, Hematocrit 30.1, MCV increased.

prepare:

•Review Chapter 213 in Part 18 of the Buttaro et al. text.

•Select one of the three case studies. Reflect on the provided patient information including history, physical exams, and lab reports.

•Think about a differential diagnosis. Consider the role the patient history, physical exam, and lab reports played in the diagnosis.

•Reflect on the pathophysiology of the type of anemia that you diagnosed, as well as potential treatment options. Consider the causes of this type of anemia. Think about whether the patient should be referred for specialized care.

Post  1 to 2 pages on : an explanation of the differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study that you selected. Describe the role the patient history, physical exam, and lab reports played in the diagnosis. Finally, explain the pathophysiology of the type of anemia that you diagnosed, as well as potential treatment options. Include causes for this type of anemia

Create a possible ethical dilemma relating to your chosen field. For example: You are a Medical Assistant and your supervising physician consistently asks you to perform procedures that you are not trained for. Or, you are a Medical Biller and your supervisor has asked you to overbill certain procedures because the clinic that you work for is in financial trouble. Using the 7 Step Decision Making Model, apply the facts of your dilemma.

Why do you think many healthcare practitioners are often unwilling to change practice patterns, based on research findings? Some practitioners criticize evidence-based practice as “cookbook care.”

Considering these perceptions, how would you utilize your education and experiences in planning the implementation of a major change?

Select a country with a significant exodus of citizens.  If you are the head of the refugee resettlement camp in (receiving country), what are the critical health issues you need to address and why?  (4-5 pp, APA, with 3-4 references)

•    Overall health / socioeconomic profile of country of origin

•    Reasons for out-migration (war, sexual violence, slavery, torture, malnutrition)

•    Prioritization of needs (using Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs) and types of team members needed

•    Immediate health issues (emergency, pregnancy, communicable diseases)

•    Continuing health issues (chronic diseases, mental health issues, malnutrition, immunizations)

Select an ethical dilemma related to health policy from the categories of moral values, professional regulation, health of individuals in society, or distributive justice. What are the controversies surrounding this issue? What are the opposing ethical principles? How has past or current health policy addressed this dilemma? Support your reasoning with reference citations.

What is meant by a consumer-driven approach to the health care system? Does it relate to the problems with the current system? Does it offer any benefits? Why or why not?

Must be in APA format with references

Begin by researching journal articles, Web resources, and other tools that address your chosen priorities.

Peruse professional organization and government Web sites for ideas, themes, and current information relating to systems, organizational, and nursing leadership with which to address your issues of priority for the course project. Links to organizations with information related to course topics are provided in the Resources for this assignment. To complete this assignment:

Assemble an APA-formatted annotated bibliography, which includes sources from 3–6 assigned readings from the course room as well as a minimum of 3–6 additional outside sources from peer-reviewed journals or professional organization or association Web sites. Describe how each of the selected sources will support your nursing leadership priorities. Ensure that your final paper contains a minimum of eight sources cited outside your assigned course room readings.

Purpose of the Literature Review

The literature review helps place your research in the context of what has already been done in the field. The literature review is a component of most scholarly writing. Dissertations include a chapter-long literature review, and research articles will include a literature review near the beginning of the article. Sometimes an entire article will be devoted to reviewing the literature.

Resources for your Literature Review

The literature review focuses on primary, peer-reviewed resources. Often starting with the seminal literature of the field, it mostly consists of research articles on the topic. Secondary sources are used sparingly, if at all.

In order to write a comprehensive literature review, you must search in multiple databases. No single source will have all of the primary resources you should consult. A comprehensive literature review should include searches in the following:

Multiple journal databases

Book databases

Dissertations

Sources outside the library

As a foundation for engaging in scholarly writing, the nurse leader-manager or nurse informaticist must be able to engage in critical thinking and anticipate the needs, questions, and concerns of the intended audience. A scholarly writer must be able to craft a paper that demonstrates clarity, specificity, fairness, relevance, and consistency (Dexter, 2000).
