Week 1 Discussion

Post your initial response to the topic below.

Topic

Discuss your own philosophy of aging.

·  When do you think a person becomes elderly?

·  What do you think of older people?

·  Are they active, senile, debilitated, etc.?

·  Provide a description of an elderly person that you know.

As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format. Support your work, using your course lectures and textbook readings. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the  University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

In this course, you will be complete a 2-part assignment in which you conduct research about a population of focus, develop a PICOT statement, and write a Literature Review. The PICOT statement and Literature Review you write in this course can be used for your evidence-based practice project in the next course so be sure to select an issue you want to continue working on in your next course.

PICOT (Population/Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time to achieve the outcome) is a method that helps clarify the qualities needed to create a good question out of a practice issue or problem affecting the population of focus. Additionally, the information derived from a good PICOT makes it easier to perform a literature search in order to find translational research sources that can be used to address the clinical problem.

Use a national, state or local population health care database to research indicators of disparity. Choose a mortality/morbidity indicator to identify a clinical problem or issue that you want to explore pertaining to a population of focus. Use this indicator to begin to formulate a PICOT and conduct research on the population.

Write a 750-1,000-word paper that analyzes your research and focuses on the population you have chosen. Describe the population’s demographics and health concerns, and explain how nursing science, health determinants, and epidemiologic, genomic, and genetic data may impact population health management for the selected population. Provide an overview of a potential solution for solving the health issue related to your population and the intended PICOT statement. Describe how the solution incorporates health policies and goals that support health care equity for the population of focus.

You are required to cite three to five sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Reflect: What words come to mind when you hear the word “pediatric trauma”? Please write down a few words or a few sentences. 

Research: Answer the questions below using the articles below and other sources such as the internet and your textbooks. 

1. List 5 potential nursing diagnoses for a child involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident ( I.e hit by a car)? 

2. What are the differences between pediatric vs. adult trauma? Consider aspects such as physiology, communication, legal issues, age, and types of injuries. 

3. Identify at least 3 interdisciplinary team members that may be involved in a pediatric trauma beginning with the onset of injury to home care. 

4. What assessments/diagnostic imaging should be considered/performed? 

5. What is  acute compartment syndrome?

6. Describe the 5 “P’s” of compartment syndrome and how the relate to the pediatric patient.

7. Why is early detection of compartment syndrome important?

8. What else could cause symptoms similar to compartment syndrome?

9. How is acute compartment syndrome treated and what does this mean for the patient?

10. Why can identifying compartment syndrome in children be particularly difficult?

Locating Resources

Study the resources in your community related to the illness group chosen in Week 1 (Obesity and Overweight). In a Microsoft Word document of 4-5 pages formatted in APA 7 style, describe the resources, including the following information:

• Identify and discuss a minimum of three community or national resources for your illness group preferably in your community (Sun City Center, Florida).
• Include in your response all the information the patient should know about the services.
  • Benefits
  • Specific services they offer.
  • Fee schedules, if and when appropriate.
  • Criteria for eligibility.
  • Application process.
  • Availability of transportation.
• Discuss integration of these resources into a plan of care.
• Discuss potential advantages and disadvantages for vulnerable populations in seeking these resources.

Support your responses with examples and information from library resources, textbook and lectures.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA 7 format. 

Please note that the title and reference pages should not be included in the total page count of your paper.
