Competency
Identify multidimensional nursing care strategies for clients with reproductive system disorders.
Scenario
You work in a gynecological office, and your office has been asked to participate in a women’s health fair. The focus of the fair is health promotion. Preventative screening for female reproductive disorders is vital to identify and treat rapidly to produce the best patient outcomes. Preventative screening includes a mammogram and Pap smear and should be performed based on recommended age and associated risk factors. To promote preventative screening, your office will be creating brochures to distribute at the health fair.
Instructions
Design a women’s health brochure by choosing one of the female reproductive disorders covered in this module. In the brochure, include the following:
· Overview of the disease including disease process, signs and symptoms, and risk factors
· Preventative screening
· Diagnostics tests
· Treatment
· Multidimensional nursing care interventions

For this week utilize the tool listed above to complete the assignment.
Overview
As you will learn throughout the program, the diagnosis of a variety of psychiatric illnesses is not always an easy or straightforward process. Multiple observations and assessment methods are often employed to reach a diagnosis. This approach can include the use of standardized assessment instruments. This then aids you in defining a treatment plan and choosing specific treatment plans to use in the care of your clients.
You are tasked with
identifying a standardized assessment instrument/tool to measure the disorders listed for each week. You will keep these instruments in the form of a “portfolio” that you can use in your clinical practice to assess clients who present with a variety of symptoms.
Instructions:
Instrument/ Tool criteria:
For each assessment, you are tasked with selecting, you will identify an instrument and:
1. List what
DSM diagnosis the tool/instrument is used for.
2.
Identify an assessment/diagnosis instrument.
3. Appraise a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that addresses the use of the instrument to support your choice as an evidence-based instrument for practice.
4. Evaluate the instrument’s appropriateness for diagnosing the condition it is designed to assess or if the developers of the instrument reported that the instrument is only part of a comprehensive assessment for the disorder.
5. Describe whether or not the instrument can be used to measure patient response to therapy/treatment or if it is strictly for assessment and diagnosis.
6. Discuss the psychometrics/scoring of the instrument, including reliability and validity.
7. Discuss any limitations associated with the use of the instrument.
8. Include a link to view the assessment if possible.
Use the following template in completing your portfolio assignments. Your information can be in a bulleted format or just a couple of sentences for each criterion listed above. However, you must use APA citations. You are NOT required to write this in a paper format. Turn in one document for each week’s topics. (However, create a file on your desktop to compile your portfolio as you move through the term.) This will ensure you can have easy access to show the full portfolio and once you begin clinicals and practice. Throughout the program, you will continue to add to the portfolio in each course.
Anxiety and Related Disorders
Week 4
DSM: Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Instrument: Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 2
(GAD-2)
Article: Validation and Standardization of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener (GAD-7)
in the General Population. Medical Care
Appropriateness for Dx: The GAD-7 and GAD-2 is screening tools for initial assessment for
mental health screening. The screening is the process used by healthcare provider to assess the
need to further evaluate for anxiety disorders. This helps determine the need for further
questioning on the anxiety the individual may be experiencing.
Response to Therapy/Treatment: This screening is effective for self-reporting of anxiety for
the healthcare provider. The evidence supports the validity and reliability of the GAD-7 and
GAD-2 for screening for anxiety disorders (Löwe et al., 2008).
Assessment Instruments
Psychometrics: The questionnaire is a self-reporting tool used for the individual to report any
problematic areas dealing with anxiety. The screening tool has 7 questions in the GAD-7 and the
shorter briefer questionnaire has 2 questions. The questionnaire asks the individual “Over the last
2 weeks, how often have you been bothered by the following problems?”. Then list 7 different
items relating to anxiety and the GAD-2 is the same just stops after question 2. The is effective
screening tool to help see the problem areas. The individual has several different choices to
provide feedback. It is on a scaled system to calculate a score. For example, the first choice “0”
has the words “not at all” and the last choice is “nearly every day” with the score of “+3”. The
calculated score at the end is broke down by minimal, mild, moderate, severe anxiety based on
the scoring.
Limitations:
Limitations: The limitations on the screening tool is the individual answering truthfully or to the
best of their ability. The assessment and further evaluation by the healthcare provider is
necessary for validation of the diagnosis.

BIG DATA RISKS AND REWARDS
BIG DATA RISKS AND REWARDS
When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few text or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee.
From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering. Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth.
As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets of data that require specialized approaches to use effectively. Big data has the potential for significant rewards—and significant risks—to healthcare. In this Discussion, you will consider these risks and rewards.
To Prepare:
· Review the Resources and reflect on the web article
Big Data Means Big Potential, Challenges for Nurse Execs.
· Reflect on your own experience with complex health information access and management and consider potential challenges and risks you may have experienced or observed.
Post a description of at least one potential benefit of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Then, describe at least one potential challenge or risk of using big data as part of a clinical system and explain why. Propose at least one strategy you have experienced, observed, or researched that may effectively mitigate the challenges or risks of using big data you described. Be specific and provide examples.
EVIDENCE-BASED PROJECT, PART 4: RECOMMENDING AN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE CHANGEE
To Prepare:
- Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you critically appraised in Module 4, related to your clinical topic of interest and PICOT (attached below)
- Reflect on your current healthcare organization (Behavioral health hospital-adults) and think about potential opportunities for evidence-based change, using your topic of interest and PICOT as the basis for your reflection (attached below)

A nurse at the local Senior Center made the following notation about a client: A 74-year-old female client wearing eyeglasses with bifocal lenses and hearing aid in her left ear. Walks with a shuffling gait, using a cane for support. Wearing house slippers and housedress. States, “My other doctor says I should have my eyes looked at by an expert. It’s been a while, and my eyes seem to be acting up lately. I can’t see so good anymore.” The client states that she takes medication for “sugar” and her blood pressure and has worn glasses for years with the last prescription changed about 3 years ago. “I was a seamstress for many years and quit when I couldn’t see to thread the needles anymore-just in time too. These new materials are too hard to work with!” Denies using any eye drops. Describes vision changes as difficulty seeing well at night, especially if trying to read. Uses a magnifying glass to help when reading. No eye pain or discharge, although eyes sometimes feel “dry and scratchy,” with the left eye being worse than the right. Admits to rubbing eyes but without relief.
