Strengths and weaknesses in a nursing research
How do I identify the strengths and weaknesses in a nursing research study article?
Neurological symptoms
A 25-year old woman complaining about difficulty walking, stumbling, and a tendency to fall. On questioning, the patient indicates that this has been going on for about 5 months, and she also experiences pain and prickly sensations, as well as occasional muscles weakness. These neurological symptoms seem to get worse with stress, and when she has a cold. The patient further relayed that she was experiencing heart palpitations and experiencing heart burn. She also reported blurred vision and occasional blindness in one eye. Family history: Is significant for high blood pressure, cancer and heart disease in the immediate family. Personal History: Is significant for mumps and chicken pox as a child, and anemia and allergies with hives later in life. She also had a tubal ligation. Laboratory studies: The MRI scan revealed the presence of multifocal white matter lesions. Spinal tap revealed the presence of oligoclonal (immunoglobulins) bands in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). Visual evoked response testing was abnormal with slowed conduction in optic nerves. Questions: 1) List all the symptoms in this patient’s history that may lead you to the suspected diagnosis. Discuss your differential strategy for eliminating other disorders as a diagnosis.

Health Promotion and Perfusion
Background:
Tina Jones, a 28-year-old woman, was sent to the hospital for IV antibiotics after accidentally scraping her foot while climbing down from a ladder. The patient also has a fever and has an increased blood sugar level. Although the patient has a history of asthma and diabetes, she does not regularly test her blood sugar. Tina Jones reported her pain at 9 and was given oxycodone. Ms. Jones was afebrile, she had a low grade fever of 100.4 F.
1. How would Health Promotion and Perfusion be an important concept in this scenario?
2. What are some abnormal signs and symptoms and thoroughly explains how they would prioritize care of this patient.
3. How would you change your interventions if you had a second chance to care for this patient?
4. How would you apply what you have learned from this scenario to future patients?
