Management of Patients With Oral and Esophageal Disorders
1. George Smith, a 55-year-old patient is admitted to the intensive care unit after a thoracotomy approach was used for an esophagectomy to remove an early stage adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction. The patient has a history of GERD and Barrett’s esophagus. The patient sought medical treatment for dysphagia with solid foods, feeling that there was a lump in his throat and substernal pain with swallowing and subsequent regurgitation of undigested food and the development of hiccups. The patient has no other medical problems. (Learning Objectives 6 and 7)
2. Mr. Owens is a 62-year-old man who underwent a neck dissection yesterday due to cancer of the mouth. You are the nurse assigned to care for Mr. Owens during his first postoperative day. Initial assessment finds Mr. Owens sitting up in bed; he is drowsy, but oriented ×3 when aroused. He has significant edema in his neck and mouth area, but does not appear to be in respiratory distress. His respiratory rate is 16 to 18, and his oxygen saturation is 96% on 40% oxygen via face tent. He has two peripheral IV lines both infusing Lactated Ringer’s solution at 75 mL/hr. Two Jackson Pratt drainage tubes are partially filled with serosanguinous drainage. (Learning Objective 5)
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize the student with the most recent guidelines and recommendations for vaccine-preventable illnesses in the United States.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
Requirements
Following the directions above, answer each of the following case scenario questions:
Case # 1
You are rotating in the newborn nursery. Your next admission is a term newborn born at 3.5 kg, and all maternal labs are negative. The infant’s exam is normal.
Case # 2
Your first patient in primary care clinic is a healthy 2-month-old. She received Hep B #1 in the nursery. She is a term infant and parents have no concerns. Her exam is normal and there are no contraindications to giving her vaccines.
Case # 3
A healthy 5-year-old comes in with her mother for a well-child check in November. Her routine vaccines are up to date through 2 years old, but she has never received a vaccine for influenza. Her exam is normal.
Case # 4
An 11-year-old girl presents for a routine well-child check. Her immunizations are up to date. Her exam is normal and there are no contraindications to giving her vaccines.
This assignment will help to identify the normal growth and development by topic for each age group. In the final column of the assignment you need to observe a child and apply the information you gathered and document your findings in comparison by the particular age of that child.
Apply the foundations of pediatric nursing when caring for clients with health alterations.
You are working in a large urban pediatric clinic after-hours.
A mother brings her 6-month-old daughter, Vivi Mitchell, to the clinic for rhinorrhea, congestion, fever, and cough. Upon assessment, you identify the child has wheezing upon auscultation and on inspection, you identify retractions.
Doctor orders – Nasal bulb suction and saline drops PRN, Tylenol 15mg/kg Q4 PRN for fever, Albuterol nebulizer in office and push po fluids as tolerated.
After the albuterol neb treatment, respirations are 36 and oxygen saturation is 100%. Wheezing has diminished. Mom is an ER nurse and the doctor feels comfortable that she has a nebulizer at home and can return to pediatric afterhours or ER if needed.
Client is discharged with these orders:

Topic 4 DQ 2
What part does negotiation play in patient education?
Unlike in the ancient days, patients in modern society have a role and control over their health because they can address their views and opinions. Thus, in the contemporary world, physicians do not act like small ‘gods’ who know and have the final say about a patient’s health; instead, they involve the patients in effective communication and negotiation to discuss patients’ health and possible medication (Orchard, n.d). Patient education involves establishing medication decisions that will work effectively for the patient, physician, and family of the patients. Negotiation helps in patient education because it allows physicians to learn about their culture, beliefs, and values before prescribing any medication. Negotiation identifies areas of agreement and disagreement and provides a forum for discussing solutions. While some health care professionals do not agree with negotiation, patient education can only be as effective as a patient’s willingness and ability to carry out the prescribed recommendations.
For instance, while making and teaching patients about important health decisions, such as quitting smoking, negotiation and face-to-face communication prove more effective (Eisemann, Wagner, & Reece, 2018). Unlike public awareness through platforms, such as awareness campaigns and mass media, negotiation and effective communication prevent and encourage the victims to quit smoking. Nurses’ main role and aim in the health sector is to provide quality and patient-centered healthcare. This is possible upon understanding the patient; therefore, negotiation and effective communication help patient education and provide quality healthcare minimize hospital readmissions (Contributor, 2019). Moreover, during the negotiation processes, the patient’s family also learns some of the essential activities to undertake, especially in the case of genetic diseases, to reduce the probability of contracting such diseases.
Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years. There should be a mix between research and your reflections. Add critical thinking in the posts along with research. Apply the material in a substantial way.
Conduct a microsystem analysis of a particular practice setting (current or a specific potential practice setting where you desire to work in your new graduate practice role). If you are currently practicing, doing an actual assessment of your microsystem is the most beneficial approach to learning this process. You cannot begin this assignment until you have reviewed the appropriate Microsystem workbook (Links to an external site.)and completed the readings in Nelson.
If you are currently in a role that is accountable for a macro system then you may choose to complete this assignment from that lens and you should clearly identify that you are doing so and that you understand the difference. Make a recommendation for change to promote effective outcomes and ensure safety for individuals. Please include a reflection on how you are living nursing as caring by proposing this change. Develop a potential evaluation processfor your proposal.
Please note that you must first conduct the assessment before you develop your interventions or response to the assessment. The assessment drivesthe recommendation for change. How did your 5-P assessment drive your Global Aim and the need for change? Assignment Directions and Grading Grid (maximum 20 points):
1. Utilize the 5-P Process to complete your assessment. You must begin by defining the Purpose of your Microsystem.(4 points)
2. Present evidence for your recommended change. Remember that the change should evolve from your 5-P assessment.(4 points)
3. Develop a P-D-S-A for your proposed change. (4 points)
4. Suggest an evaluation plan. (4 points)
5. What do you expect to be the results of this plan? What other resources might be needed to hard wire the desired results? (2 points)
6. APA, spelling, grammar and syntax do count! (2 point)
**Extra Credit: Up to 2 Extra credit points are available to students who choose to step it up and enhance their MicrosystemAssessment by using tools such as fishbone diagrams, flow charts, bar charts, pareto charts, line graphs, and run charts.
