Top of Form

This assignment is due no later than Sunday October 22nd at 11:59pm

Conduct a health history on a family member or friend. 
You can use the form located in your Health Assessment lab manual book or from Week Two classroom assignment. 

You do not need to submit the health history form with your paper.
 Be sure they give you permission. Using the interviewing techniques learned in Module 2, 
gather the following information. Use your textbook as your guide.

· Present Health

· Past Medical Health

· Family History

· Review of Systems

 

While this is only a partial health history, summarize in 3 -5 pages the information you gathered.

Include your answers to the following questions in the summary:

a. Was the person willing to share the information? If they were not, what did you do to encourage them?

b. Was there any part of the interview that was more challenging? If so, what part and how did you deal with it?

c. How comfortable were you taking a health history?

d. What interviewing techniques did you use? Were there any that were difficult and if so, how did you overcome the difficulty?

e. Now that you have taken a health history discuss how this information can assist the nurse in determining the health status of a client.

Power Point

Assignment

Create a Power Point

Purpose

This assignment will focus on developing a health policy analysis presentation that includes a problem statement, background, landscape, options, and recommendations from the week’s readings. The health policy analysis presentation is based on an identified healthcare issue in one’s local community. 

As Family Nurse Practitioner:

1. Research healthcare issues that have been identified in your local community. Develop a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. You will then use the PowerPoint during your Kaltura recording. Structure a health policy analysis presentation that addresses the following topics particular to your health problem:

· Problem Statement 

· Background 

· Landscape 

· Options 

· Recommendations 

Please provide FootNotes

2. Next, record your Kaltura presentation showing your PowerPoint and yourself speaking. Upload your Kaltura presentation into the week 4 assignment. How to use Kaltura resources are in Home/Resources/Technology Resources.

3. Posting your recording:

· Go to the week four assignment tab and hit Submit Assignment

· Use the Text Entry Tab. You will have the option of selecting the Kaltura icon.

· It will take you to your My Media Gallery and upload it from there.

Medications for Pain Management Pain relievers in the opioid class work by binding to specific cells known as opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system. Opioid drugs dull pain perception and heighten pleasure when they bind to opioid receptors within brain cells, activated when the blood reaches the brain. That which makes opiate painkillers so effective also makes them potentially harmful. Many organizations are concerned about opioids because while at lesser dosages, they may make patients sleepy (Townsend et al., 2021). In more significant quantities, they can cause breathing and heart rate slowdowns, resulting in death. Additionally, the pleasurable effects of opioids might make the patients crave more of them, which can be a dangerous spiral into addiction. By taking medications as prescribed, patients can lessen the likelihood of experiencing adverse effects. Patients should inform their healthcare providers of all their drugs and supplements (Mark & Paris, 2019). Significant evidence also links chronic pain to mental health issues and substance dependence. However, the exact nature of the connection, particularly in terms of causation, is sometimes unclear. According to Slawek et al. (2022), pain can increase mental health difficulties such as anxiety, difficulty sleeping, depression, and panic disorders, while stress and depression can make chronic pain severe. Pain can also make it more difficult to sleep. Opioid overdose most commonly causes respiratory depression, which can cause severe consequences or even death. When a patient is close to a potentially harmful threshold, medical professionals look at their daily morphine equivalent doses (MED),which is the sum of the MMEs of all opioids they are likely to take within 24 hours. The Morphine Milligram equivalent (MME) value is the relative potency of a dose of opioids compared to morphine (Dasgupta, This study source was downloaded by 100000769192234 from CourseHero.com on 10-22-2023 14:20:45 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/184520553/Unit-11-Discussion-Pain-Managementdocx/ 2 2021). MME aims to aid physicians in making safe and appropriate judgments when considering modifications to existing opiate treatment plans. The MME converts multiple different opiate doses into a uniform number based on the strength of morphine using a universal conversion factor defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Every prescription is given in MME daily according to the CDC conversion factor, dosage, and the number of days' worth of medication. Each opiate dose a patient takes per day is converted to milligrams of morphine using a morphine-based conversion factor, and the daily average rate is then used to determine the MME.

Self Care activity

Setting boundaries and making self-care a priority is extremely important when practicing as a nurse. Discuss methods of self care that you have found to be effective when dealing with an emotional reaction to a situation.

Once you have selected a topic, post a discussion about why that self-care technique is beneficial, how it helps you, how it can benefit your nursing practice, and why self-care is so important when caring for individuals with mental illness.
