CRITICAL CARE WK 6

 

MY NUMBER ASSIGNED WAS 7 WHICH IS:  Tension hemo/pneumothorax – when does this occur, s/s, treatment, and complication 

Each student will be assigned a number randomly.  Whatever your number is, select the corresponding topic below, then post a minimum of 5 bullet points about the topic.  

Your bullet points should address key components of the topic, such as what, how, who, & why.  This information should not be basic things you learned in Med/Surg, but rather advanced critical care based.  

Think about this as a group effort to create a study guide. Use ONLY your textbook, but do not cut & paste from the book.  

Then create, find, or borrow a test style question about your topic & post at the bottom of your bullet points. The format needs to be multiple choice or select all that apply. Think NCLEX style. 

PART 2:

Take a few minutes and ask 2 people about their personal coping mechanisms for dealing with the stress of working in healthcare during this unique time of Covid. Stress can be physical, emotional, spiritual, or any combination of triggers. Ask a diverse variety of people, don’t forget those in other departs at different points of hierarchy. For example, ask your unit manager, environmental services, volunteers, patients, fellow nurses, etc.  Write 2-3 paragraphs on your findings and impressions while respecting the person’s identity.

     Here, in the state of Florida, one of the main barriers was the clause that nurse practitioners must work on the sponsorship of a physician or within close proximity of a physician. That has been relaxed by legislation that says only nurse can work in most sectors of healthcare, without oversight of a physician, this allows APRNs autonomy in a medspa, primary care clinics and/or even telemedicine when working independently and as an entrepreneur.

    Since June of 2020, Florida operates under “Full practice”policy, which allows nurses that have proof of at least 3000 clinical hours of experience and graduate level pharmacology and differential diagnosis courses, the privilege to operate autonomously in primary care, med spas and even telemedicine under this regulation. This is considered to be the gold standard as APRNs are now able to register as an Autonomous Advanced Practice Registered Nurse and practice to the full extent of their role (Fla. BON, 2023) 

     With just just three short years ago, APRNs had to work under the supervision or sponsorship of a physician that was either either working in the practice or had a vested interest in a clinic where the APRN is practicing. Some states may also hold a prescriptive regulation or the APRN whereas they can only order certain schedules and medications. In some instances there may be pushback from physicians who do not co-sign the concept of nurse practitioners and or having the privileges that they are allowed believing that they are not trained like physicians. In some communities nurse practitioners may not be a choice of patients to be examined by and may just prefer their doctor instead.

     For midwives in Florida, some of the barriers include the need to have a supervisory agreement with a Florida licensed physician for post graduate supervisory hours A lack of recognition as primary care providers on Medicaid and Medicare and private insurance company provider panels and other restrictions. (Hastings, et al, 2018)

     CRNAs have barriers such a lack of fair reimbursement by third-party, payers,  stating that they are not trained on the same skill level as physicians and failure of some of the other surgical groups or colleagues to recognize CRNAs as board certified to administer anesthesia. (Toney, 2023)

     Rep. Cary Pigman (R-Sebring) and Sen. Jeff Brandes (R-St. Petersburg) joined members of the interest groups for APRNs the Florida Association of Nurse Anesthetists (https://www.fana.org/)and the Florida Nurse Practitioner Network (https://fnpn.enpnetwork.com/) in making new legislation that forwards, the causes nurse practitioners and pushes for more independence for them as well.

sociology discussion 7

Respond to two (2) of the following prompts:

  1. Describe formal and informal education. From your experiences with schooling, provide specific examples of each and explain how they are built into the curriculum or culture of the school. (USLO 6.1)
  2. Reflecting on your own experience (or your child’s) with schooling, explain one sociological theory that best relates to your (or your child’s) academic journey. Describe two examples of how this theory applies to your schooling. (USLO 6.4)
  3. What do you think is the most significant concern with the education system today? Provide a suggestion for how this issue could be improved. (USLO 6.3)
  4. What is the difference between mainstreaming and inclusion? Which do you think is the optimal way to include people with disabilities in the classroom and why? (USLO 6.2)
  5. Karl Marx studied the social impact of religion and believed religion reflects the material base, which is comprised of the means and modes of production and the relations of production. Marx argued that religion maintains inequality and perpetuates the status quo. Is Marx’s argument that religion maintains inequality and perpetuates the status quo true? Present an example that supports your assessment of Marx’s argument. (USLO 6.8)
  6. Emile Durkheim argued that religion promotes social cohesion, and social control, as well as offering meaning and purpose to human life. Is Durkheim’s argument true? Present an example that supports your assessment of Durkheim’s argument. (USLO 6.8)
  7. What is required of a society for its political structure to be considered democratic? While this question might seem straightforward, it is not and is a topic of contentious debate in current political philosophy circles. The Democracy Index lists 60 different indicators that must be considered when discerning whether a nation is a democracy. While you in no way will be expected to discuss all indicators, please talk about a few of the conditions that must exist for a government to qualify as a democracy. Include textual evidence to support your view. (USLO 6.5, 6.6)
  8. In recent years in the United States, citizens have increasingly made claims that our judicial system is institutionally racist. Evidence provided for these claims has pointed toward unfair drug sentencing laws, stop and frisk policies, the use of police force, and the overwhelming number of black men in prisons and jails in comparison to the rest of the population. Select one claim and discuss whether these claims have merit, presenting specific examples to support your position. Include textual evidence to support your view. (USLO 6.7)

advance directives

Part I

The Advance Health Care Directive  

Locate a copy of an advanced directive (AD) that complies with the laws of the state in which you work. The organization in which you work should have a copy of an advance directive that is given to patients. If not, download your state’s Advance Directives here http://www.caringinfo.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3289.Links to an external site.

 Part I: 

  1. Identify where you obtained the AD and explain its compliance with state law.
  2. Conduct research (1-2 sources) to learn more about the AD in your state and explain how it works.    
  3. Discuss how easy or difficult it was to complete the AD. Your comments should be specific and both objective and subjective. For example, when you state your personal feelings, you must relate them to the literature (textbook and research) that discusses this process and the difficulties that many people face when completing an advance directive. 

(Cite/ reference any sources you use to explore these questions, including your texts.) 

Part II
