Assignment: Depression and Suicide.
Week 1 discussion. Physical Assessment Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research the various aspects of physical assessment. Based on your research and understanding, respond to one of the following: You are admitting a 27-year-old woman to your unit for work-up of weight loss. While conducting an admission interview, you learn that she has recently lost her job and has a strong family history of depression and suicide. How would you construct your interview? What measures would you take with the information you have gathered? Why? You are admitting a 12-year-old child to your unit. The mother states that the child has a history of unexplained blackout episodes, headaches, sleep disturbances, and is presently exhibiting tremors. What is the most likely cause of these symptoms? What actions would you take during the interview process? Explain. A young 33-year-old man is admitted to your unit with a chief complaint of “tiredness and morning headaches” even after sleeping. How you would perform a comprehensive analysis of symptoms? What are the possible causes of the symptoms? What examinations would be crucial to determine the cause of his problems? Why? Citations should conform to APA guidelines. You may use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA Style website through the APA icon below.

REMEMBER WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
What is Emotional Abuse?
Emotional abuse is one form of abuse that people can experience in a relationship. Though emotional abuse doesn’t leave physical scars, it can have a huge impact on your confidence and self-esteem. There are different types of emotional abuse which are not noticeable at first.
This might be a problem if you…feel like you are not good enough, you are afraid of your partner leaving you, you are called names by your partner or they put you down.
Many concerning relationships involve aspects of emotional abuse. The aim of emotional abuse is to chip away at a person’s feelings of self-worth and independence. In an emotionally abusive relationship, a person may feel that there is no way out of the relationship or that without their partner they will have nothing.
Emotional abuse can feel equally as destructive and damaging as physical abuse to a person’s mental health. It’s common for physically abusive relationships to also include aspects of emotional abuse as this is how power and control is maintained within the relationship.
Some types of emotional abuse can include:
Verbal – yelling, insulting or swearing at someone
Rejection – pretending not to notice someone’s presence, conversation or value
Put downs – name calling, public embarrassment, calling someone stupid, blaming them for everything
Being afraid – causing someone to feel afraid, intimidated or threatened
Isolation – limiting freedom of movement, stopping someone from contacting other people (like friends or family)
Money – controlling someone’s money, withholding money, preventing someone from working, stealing or taking money
Bullying- purposely and repeatedly saying or doing hurtful things to someone.
Though physical violence is often seen as being more serious than emotional abuse, this is not the case. The scars of emotional abuse are real and long lasting. Emotional abuse can leave a person feeling depressed, anxious and even suicidal, as well as having a negative impact on self-esteem and confidence.
If you are experiencing emotional abuse it is important for you to seek help.

Effects of Bullying
Bullying can affect everyone—those who are bullied, those who bully, and those who witness bullying. Bullying is linked to many negative outcomes including impacts on mental health, substance use, and suicide. It is important to talk to children to determine whether bullying—or something else—is a concern.

Children Who are Bullied
Children who are bullied can experience negative physical, emotional and mental health issues. They are more likely to experience: depression and anxiety, increased feelings of sadness and loneliness, changes in sleep and eating patterns, and loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, health complaints, decreased academic achievement— they are more likely to miss, skip, or drop out of school. These issues may persist into adulthood.
Children Who Bully Others
Children who bully others can also engage in violent and other risky behaviors into adulthood. They are more likely to:
abuse alcohol and other drugs in adolescence and as adults, get into fights, vandalize property, and drop out of school, engage in early sexual activity, have criminal convictions as adults, be abusive toward their romantic partners, spouses, or children as adults
Children who witness bullying are more likely to
Have increased use of tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs. Have increased mental health problems, including depression and anxiety.
Miss or skip school
Effects of Sexual Assault

Even in this digital world we now live in, brochures can be your company’s best friend. They can work in conjunction with your other . Or alone. What’s more, they don’t even need to be printed, with PDF and technology making it very easy to read one on a tablet, desktop, or even a phone. However, without careful planning, preparation, and execution, the entire process can become a waste of your time and money. So, follow these six steps to create an that will increase inquiries, acquisition, and even retention.
Know Your Brochure’s Place in the Buying Process: Your product, the market, even your approach to how you want to make the sale are all major factors in how you write your brochure. Determine where your brochure functions in the buying process:
Leave-Behinds: Named for the type of brochure you leave behind after meeting a potential customer. It should support what you have just presented.
Point-of-sale: The type of brochure you may pick up while waiting in line at the bank. It can be a good tool to raise interest, and get people asking for more.
Respond to Inquiries: Someone asks about a specific product and you drop a brochure in the mail, or email, to follow up. It should be expansive, give them as much information as you can.
Direct Mail: Your sales letter sells but you can also include your brochure into your . However, great direct mail is more than a letter and a brochure, so think carefully about how to make it stand out.
Sales Support Tool: Similar to leave-behinds but you use this type as a selling aid through a sales pitch.
Know If Your Brochure Stands Alone: Some companies have one brochure for one product and that’s it. Others use their brochure in combination with other (commercials, print ads, direct mail, etc.). If you’re writing a brochure to be used with other forms of advertising, your content will be determined by the ad campaign.
For example, you’ve created the perfect direct mail package. Your sales letter covers the reasons your prospect has to buy your product now.
Don’t follow up your masterpiece with a repetitious brochure. You’ve already convinced your potential customer that you have a great product. Now show them the benefits and features your product offers. The brochure here should complement your DM piece, not parrot it.

“But neither one of us has any of the problems Nikoleta has. We aren’t tired all the time. We work out every day,” replies Mr. Stamos.
“That’s a very good thing, and it has probably helped to keep you and your wife healthy. You both have a much milder form of anemia. Unfortunately, Nikoleta’s condition is more severe.”
Questions
12. What is the most likely diagnosis for Nikoleta?
13. What are the general features of this disease?
Part IV – The Doctor Continues
Dr. Stephens continues, “Nikoleta has what is known as beta-thalassemia, which is also called Cooley’s anemia. Do you remember when I spoke with you about hemoglobin and how it functions to carry oxygen? Well, there are two types of hemoglobin proteins involved in the process of carrying oxygen, alpha and beta. You need both of them in order to have properly working hemoglobin. Nikoleta’s beta proteins don’t function correctly. I have spoken to Dr. Jeff Williams, a hematologist who specializes in childhood disorders of the blood. Nikoleta’s condition is very grave and it has a high mortality rate. Her life span may be significantly shortened. Dr. Williams is the best specialist in this area and I believe he will give her the best care possible. He will keep me informed of Nikoleta’s progress. Meanwhile, Nikoleta will still need to see me for her regular checkups. Also, I don’t know what you are considering for the future of your family, but because of these findings, I suggest that you see a genetic counselor before deciding to have another baby. A genetic counselor will give you all the information about how beta-thalassemia is transmitted from parent to child so that you can make an informed decision about having more children naturally.”
Questions
14. What is the structure of hemoglobin and how is oxygen bound to it?
15. What are some possible treatments that Dr. Williams will suggest?
16. If you were the genetic counselor, what would you suggest to Mr. and Mrs. Stamos concerning having more children? Why?

What is diabetes software?
A combination of start-ups, open-source services, app developers and diabetes device companies have created various tools and apps that are commonly referred to as . All have a different level of sophistication, but all are focused on some aspect of diabetes management, diabetes data presentation or diabetes devices. Diabetes software will often include data from pulled from glucose meters or logbooks – including diet and medication tracking – insulin pumps and pens. In some cases, glucose data stored in patient glucose meters is automatically synced with their complementary diabetes software. In other cases, it is manually entered by the patient or their care team.
Diabetes software can include aggregate and analytical views of diabetes data. These views include:
– Calendar views that display glucose trends and compare them to patient’s insulin intake.
– Modal day views that display glucose trends and compare them to insulin intake on the same day of the week over time.
– Listing of contextual and lifestyle data such as patient’s carb intake.
– Insulin data that includes pie charts showing the ratio of basal to bolus rates.
– General data tables that show average blood glucose rates bucketed into different time periods
– And more.
More advanced diabetes software applications can include predictive insights. These insights can provide patients with alerts regarding their propensity to experience hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia events under certain conditions.

Discussion: Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders
Discussion: Pharmacotherapy for Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Disorders
Gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatobiliary disorders affect the structure and function of the GI tract. Many of these disorders often have similar symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramping, constipation, nausea, bloating, and fatigue. Since multiple disorders can be tied to the same symptoms, it is important for advanced practice nurses to carefully evaluate patients and prescribe treatment that targets the cause rather than the symptom. Once the underlying cause is identified, an appropriate drug therapy plan can be recommended based on medical history and individual patient factors. In this Discussion, you examine a case study of a patient who presents with symptoms of a possible GI/hepatobiliary disorder, and you design an appropriate drug therapy plan.
Consider the following case study:
Patient HL comes into the clinic with the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The patient has a history of drug abuse and possible Hepatitis C. HL is currently taking the following prescription drugs:
Synthroid 100 mcg daily
Nifedipine 30 mg daily
Prednisone 10 mg daily
To prepare:
Review this week’s media presentation on pharmacology for the gastrointestinal system.
Review the provided case study. Reflect on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and drugs currently prescribed.
Think about a possible diagnosis for the patient. Consider whether the patient has a disorder related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary system or whether the symptoms are the result of a disorder from another system or other factors such as pregnancy, drugs, or a psychological disorder.
Consider an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post an explanation of your diagnosis for the patient including your rationale for the diagnosis. Then, describe an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.
By Day 6
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses and respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days who diagnosed the patient differently than you did, in one or more of the following ways:
Provide alternative recommendations for drug treatments.
Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own research in the Walden Library.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
Week 8 discussion
Discussion: Drug Treatments for HIV/AIDS
While HIV/AIDS is still currently incurable, the prognosis for patients with this infectious disease has improved due to advancements in drug treatments. Consider the case of Kristy Aney. Kristy was diagnosed with HIV in 1992 and was told she would survive, at most, 10 more years. Despite unfavorable odds, Kristy is still alive 20 years later. Since her diagnosis, she has witnessed tremendous improvements in HIV/AIDS treatments which have helped patients live longer with fewer side effects. While she acknowledges that these drug treatments have kept her alive, she fears that improvements in drug therapy have led to more people becoming complacent about the disease (Idaho Statesmen, 2012). In fact, the number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States is higher than it has ever been (CDC, 2012). This poses the question: Is there a relationship between drug advancements, societal complacency, and infection?
To prepare:
Review Chapter 49 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text, as well as the Krummenacher et al. and Scourfield articles in the Learning Resources.
Reflect on whether or not the prevalence of HIV cases might be attributed to increased complacency due to more advanced drug treatment options for HIV/AIDS.
Consider how health care professionals can help to change perceptions and make people more aware of the realities of the disease.
Think about strategies to educate HIV positive patients on medication adherence, as well as safe practices to reduce the risk of infecting others.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post an explanation of whether or not you think the prevalence of HIV cases might be attributed to increased complacency due to more advanced drug treatment options.Then, explain how health care professionals can help to change perceptions and increase awareness of the realities of the disease. Finally, describe strategies to educate HIV positive patients on medication adherence, as well as safe practices to reduce the risk of infecting others.
By Day 6
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses and respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days who provided a different rationale than you did, in one or more of the following ways:
Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own research in the Walden Library.
Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.
Week 9 discussion
Discussion: Pharmacotherapy for Hematologic Disorders
In the 1970s, the average lifespan for patients diagnosed with sickle cell disease was 14 years. Today, the average lifespan has increased to 50 years and beyond (TriHealth, 2012). The patient prognosis for many other hematologic disorders such as hemophilia and cancer continue to improve as well. This can be attributed to advancements in medical care—specifically drug therapy and treatment. When managing drug therapies for patients, it is essential to continuously examine current treatments and evaluate the impact of patient factors on drug effectiveness. To prepare for your role as an advanced practice nurse, you must become familiar with common drug treatments for various hematologic disorders seen in clinical settings.
