Lifestyle practices to promote cardiopulmonary health

As part of the primary health care focus, it is important to educate the young to the older population about following lifestyle practices to promote cardiopulmonary health. Can you describe how maintaining ideal body weight, eating a low-fat, low-salt, calorie-appropriate diet, non-smoking, and engaging in regular exercise can impact a patient’s level of health in general?

Components of the Medicare

Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an important topic in healthcare organizations. How could you apply EBP in your current nursing practice? provide examples. Identify three major components of the Medicare and Medicaid programs and, based on these components, identify at least two patient coverage gaps for each of the programs. Be clear when you describe the coverage and the gaps as they may relate to specific ages, patient populations, or disease entities. Use primary sources to identify the components and the gaps. Additionally, discuss your stand (criticize or defend) regarding the relevance of the Social Security program to the American public. Should the program be left alone, modified, drastically changed, or eliminated? Provide the rationale and use facts to defend your position.

Holistic nursing approach to care

Holistic care refers to approaches and interventions that address the needs of the whole person: body, mind, emotion, and spirit. Consider the following case study:

You are caring for a first-time mother in a health clinic. While assessing the woman, you notice she is becoming visibly upset. When you ask, she notes that her mother, with whom she was very close, died last year and that she really would have loved to have shared this pregnancy with her. You empathize with the patient, as your own mother just died 6 months ago. She also notes that she and her partner have been bickering a lot lately on top of her feeling generally sore, tired, and overwhelmed.

Define holistic care in your own words. Describe four ways you can implement a holistic nursing approach to care and facilitate healing. In addition, you may consider the intersection of holistic care and caritas principles from Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring/Caring Science from Week 1.

Demonstrate your clustering of related information, identification of assumptions, and thinking about predicting potential complications as you make meaning of the information specific to Lucy.

Discuss how you would mitigate risks to the nursing profession

What do you see as the benefits, risks, and challenges? Discuss how you would mitigate risks to the nursing profession.

The academic preparation of the RN‐BSN

Discuss the significance of applying evidence‐based practice to nursing care and explain how the academic preparation of the RN‐BSN nurse supports its application. Discuss how nurses today communicate and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and how this supports safer and more effective client out

Explain the mechanism of action of methylphenidate

Explain the mechanism of action of methylphenidate. What is considered first-line treatment (pharmacotherapy) for ADHD? What is the second-line treatment? (You may need to research this, please provide a reference for your answer). Read the following scenario. There is no “right answer.” Please support your answer with evidence

A twelve-year-old patient with a diagnosis of ADHD has just been transferred into your care. The caregiver notes that the prescribed long-acting stimulant is effective, but it takes a significant amount of time to “kick in.” As a result, the patient now has truancy charges because they are so frequently late for school. What would you suggest?
