  • Describe three reasons it is important to gather detailed and extensive information from any patient before you counsel him/her or make medication suggestions.  Use evidence-based research to support your position.
  • Define malingering.  Discuss two ways to differentiate between malingering and a DSM5 diagnosis.  Use evidence-based research to support your position.

 post should be at least 500 words, formatted, and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources. 

Change Theories Project

I need help putting together a change theories presentation addressing self-care for nurses.   

Nurses are trained caregivers, yet they sometimes forget about themselves. Self-care is a planned activity for our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Lack of self-care can lead to errors, fatigue, and burnout, which comes at a high cost to patients, nurses, and the healthcare organization. The stress of the pandemic and the increased workloads have made many nurses put self-care even further on the back burner. During times of increased stress, self-care should increase, not decrease. As more research and data come out about the physical and mental strain of nursing, healthcare leaders worldwide are taking the initiative to acknowledge and treat self-care as an actual responsibility. It’s time for nurses and the facilities they work for to make self-care a top priority. Self-care can look different for every nurse and should be centered on their specific needs. A self-care plan should be specific, measurable, achievable, action-oriented, and time-sensitive. You have been tasked with creating a self-care program for your bedside nurses.

Question: Does my patient have significant aortic stenosis?

A 72 year-old woman with a history of CHF presents with several weeks of gradually progressive dyspnea on exertion (DOE). At her baseline, she is able to walk several blocks, but now feels winded. She denies chest pain, palpitations, syncope/near syncope, cough, orthopnea, or PND. She states she is compliant with her medications and diet. She has had a recent functional study that showed minimal ischemia.

    3. C – Comparison: What is the main comparison intervention? (optional)
    4. O – Outcome: What are the anticipated measures, improvements, or effects?
  3. Convert this PICOT to a clinical question.
  4. indicate the best study method to answer this PICOT question (use the PICOT worksheet) Actions and attached to this discussion post).
  5. Title the discussion with the PICOT question.
  6. Initial post: Your post should be within a range of 150-240 words
