An electrolyte important in heart function

A physician hands you a critical lab value result for a female patient with a low potassium level (an electrolyte important in heart function). He asks you to contact the patient right away and gives you a list of instructions to give to the patient. It is Friday evening and the office does not open again until Monday morning.

The physician is late to a special dinner and leaves you all alone. You call the patient’s home phone number only to find the number disconnected. The patient does not list a cell number. You try to reach her daughter, who is listed as a contact but there is no answer and no voicemail. It’s getting late and you want to go home. What would be your most logical solution? What are the possible consequences of waiting until the following Monday to contact the patient? Discuss with your classmates your answers to the above questions. Be sure to respond to their post by explaining why you agree or disagree with their post.

Stages of the Clinical Judgment Model

Describe in detail a clinical scenario you experienced including all relevant information within these iterative stages of the Clinical Judgment Model.

Recognize and Analyze Cues

  • External cues
  • Internal cues
  • Cluster relevant cues with a description of cue analysis for importance and immediate concern
  • Relevant cues must be linked to the client’s clinical presentation and ordered in the significance of priority needs

 

Create and Prioritize Hypotheses

  • Generate a minimum of three hypotheses based on the analysis of cues.
  • Evaluate and prioritize the top two hypotheses
  • Provide rationales and evidence to support choices for each priority hypothesis

Generate Solutions

  • Identify an expected outcome for each priority hypothesis
  • Describe a set of priority interventions for each expected outcome

Take Action

  • Describe an implementation plan for priority interventions.
  • Provide rationales and evidence to support choices for each priority intervention

Evaluate Outcomes

  • Describe an evaluation plan for outcomes related to expected results.
  • Identify effective actions
  • Describe an evaluation plan for outcomes related to unexpected results.
  • Identify the actions related to declining or unchanged status

Summary of the ongoing iterative process of Clinical Judgment

  • Provide a summary of what you believe went well, including at least one area of new knowledge gained with a description of how the new knowledge will affect your nursing practice

Global health crisis of staggering proportions

The obesity epidemic is a global health crisis of staggering proportions. Excess body weight is a major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Type 2 Diabetes. The prevalence of obesity is increasing in recent decades and is driven by a complex interplay of economic, environmental, and biological factors. In the United States alone, more than a third of the population is obese, and it is expected that by the year 2030, that figure may rise to as much as 50%. Moreover, data from the pediatric population demonstrate a disturbing increase in the rates of overweight and obesity over the past several decades, leading to a greater proportion of life lived with obesity and obesity-associated morbidity. Center for Disease Control-Diabetes Report 2020

Research the global obesity epidemic and answer the following questions as it relates to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes Type 2.

How do you think the obesity epidemic has impacted the rates of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes in the United States? Provide some statistics on the rates of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes type 2 in the United States. Make sure to provide the link where you retrieved the information. What (economic, environmental, and biological) factors have driven the increase in obesity; please be specific. Lastly, what would you do to help prevent the continuing rise of obesity in the United States?
