Development of leadership skills throughout bachelor’s program

Think about work situations that you have been involved in during this program and how you acted differently because of something you learned in the program. Write a story about this situation and explain how it demonstrates the way you have changed because of knowledge, experience, insight, or experience gained while you were involved in this program.

The exemplar should also demonstrate evidence of value-based nursing and good communication. Your philosophy of nursing could be included here. It would be interesting to see if the values stated in your philosophy were evident in your exemplar. I would like for the write to talk about how my leadership skills have developed and how I am now a certified nurse manager through sigma theta tau because of this program. This is a reflection of the bachelor’s bridge program in nursing that focuses on nursing leadership and research and development.

Pharmacotherapy for cardiovascular disorders

Patient AO has a history of obesity and has recently gained 9 pounds. The patient has been diagnosed with hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Drugs currently prescribed include the following:  Atenolol 12.5 mg daily, Doxazosin 8 mg daily, Hydralazine 10 mg qid, Sertraline 25 mg daily, Simvastatin 80 mg daily

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Select one of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behaviour factors.
• Explain how the factor you selected might influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the patient from the case study you were assigned.
• Describe how changes in the processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy. Be specific and provide examples.
• Explain how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan and explain why you would make these recommended improvements.

Marianne Lewis has attended her booking appointment at 8 weeks pregnant. The midwife Leah, has taken a detailed medical, obstetric, and family history.  She has discussed the place of birth – Marianne is considering a home birth. The midwife has also discussed diet and healthy eating with a focus on ensuring iron-rich foods as Marianne is vegan but also has a history of iron deficiency anemia with her last 2 pregnancies. Iron supplementation caused severe constipation and she is keen to avoid it this time. Leah has discussed national antenatal screening tests and provided a booklet to supplement this verbal information. As yet Marianne is unsure about accepting some of them.

Leah has undertaken a set of maternal observations as a baseline which were all within normal limits. Urinalysis was normal – Marianne had previously seen the GP for frequency of micturition and increased vaginal discharge but nothing abnormal was detected and no treatment was necessary.

• ENSURE THAT YOU FOCUS ON THE INFLUENCES ON THE WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE ANTENATAL SCREENING IF THAT’S WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO FOCUS ON. INCLUDE THE COMMUNICATION FROM THE MIDWIFE AND HOW THAT INFLUENCES CARE.
