Instructions
Read the case studies below and answer the questions. Make sure you cite any sources using APA format.
Scenario # 1
You are working in a community health clinic on a team that has an LPN, RN, and nurse practitioner. Your first client of the day is a tearful young woman who states that she has had a painful rash to her genital area for the past couple of days. She came to the clinic today because the rash is getting progressively worse. Her vital signs are: 100.5 (PO), 114, 28, 145/88 Pain: 9 on a 1-10 scale. The client shares with you that her boyfriend has herpes. They never have sex when he is having a flare-up, so she is not sure how she could have gotten it from him.
Question # 1: What should be the first priority for this client? Explain your answer. (5-10 sentences)
Question # 2: The RN provides teaching to the client, but the client has some follow-up questions. As the LPN you reinforce the teaching about how herpes is spread. What factual information should the nurse provide about the spread of this disease between flare-ups? (2-3 sentences)
Scenario # 2
You are working in a primary care office with a physician’s assistant (PA) and RN. A client comes in for a follow-up visit. He states that he was called to come in because of an “abnormal lab report.” You print the labs for the PA, and you see that the client had a sore on his penis that was scraped and sent to the lab. The scrapings are positive for syphilis. You also see in the notes that the client had to be called repeatedly to come to the office. At first, he was unwilling to return because he stated he “feels fine.”
Question # 3: The client is confused about why he needs to name his sexual partners. What factual information can the nurse give to explain the need for all of his sexual partners to be treated as soon as possible? (5-10 sentences)
Question # 4: The PA orders a single dose of Benzathine Penicillin G 2.4 million units IM. The client questions why he just cannot take some pills. What explanation will you provide to the client? (5-10 sentences)
Scenario # 3
You are working in a primary care office with a physician. You are instructed to collect data on a client, including vital signs and chief complaint. The client states that she is a sex worker and has had chills, fevers, and sore throats on and off for several weeks. The physician orders a rapid HIV test.
Question # 5: What in your data collection indicates that the client is at high risk for HIV? (2-3 sentences)

Scenario
The community of Greenburg is located near sea level at the base of a snow-capped mountain, on a secluded ocean inlet, surrounded by rugged, forested land. The only access to the city is by ferry or plane; no roads connect it to other communities in the region. Winters are wet, mild, and long. The city serves as the capital for the state of Newbridge. As such, government agencies are its leading employer, though tourism is also a major source of income, followed by commercial fishing. The city is renowned for its scenic beauty; tall mountains capped by glaciers can be seen from downtown.- Population: 32,000
- Avg. High Temp (Dec): 34oF
- Avg. High Temp (June): 62oF
- Annual Precipitation: 62 in.
- Urban Area: 15 sq. mi.
- Main Power Source: natural gas
- Instructions
Construct a plan for sustainable energy for the hypothetical city of Greenburg. Your plan should consist of the following elements: - Specific measures to promote energy conservation measures (e.g., promoting biking by implementing a bicycle sharing program)
- Specific steps to move the city toward sustainable energy production (e.g., solar facilities/greenhouses/community food production)
- Consider actions that involve switching from traditional (non-renewable) energy sources to renewable sources, for both vehicles and buildings/homes
- Reducing energy will help, but your plan should include a detailed plan that will move the city forward using renewable energy

Describe the internal and external criticism that is used to evaluate middle range theories.
Discussion topics1. The development of nursing knowledge is an ongoing process. Discuss the case for the ongoing development and use of nursing grand theories and conversely, make a case for the obsolescence of nursing grand theories for today’s practice and research. 2. Making judgement as to whether a theory could be adapted for use in research is very important. Describe the internal and external criticism that is used to evaluate middle range theories. 3. Using the theory of unpleasant symptoms as a guide, what would you look for in an assessment tool for patient symptoms? 4. Using the criteria presented in week 2, critique the theory of Self-Efficacy using the internal and external criticism evaluation process. 5. The use of spirituality in nursing practice is not new. However, it is more studied and utilized in a more structured format in nursing. Identify and discuss tools used to evaluate spirituality. 6. Analyze the potential effectiveness resulting from professional or nurse-provided social support versus enhancement of social support provided by personal relationship and social networks for parents of children with chronic mental illness. 7. Select any middle range nursing theory and do a PowerPoint presentation on ways in which the theory is applicable to your practice.8. The surrogate role is not one that is frequently mentioned in recent nursing practice literature. Is that role as defined by Peplau relevant to nursing practice as currently experienced. If so, in what way. If not, why? 9. Based on the theory of attachment, what behaviors would a nurse attempt to stimulate when working with parent to promote health attachment?10. Evidence suggests that patients do better when their expectations about specific benefits of nursing care are discussed and met. Design a “comfort contract” whereby patients or their surrogates designate an expected level of postsurgical overall comfort, and where they can specify chronic discomforts and interventions that they use at home for relief. 11. Discuss the underlying assumptions and potential ramifications of having proxy subjective health status or evaluation measures for children or those unable to speak for themselves.

Does globalization appear to be a force that is subject to human control, why or why not?
Description
Globalization is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide. As a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, globalization is considered by some as a form of capitalist expansion which entails the integration of local and national economies into a global, unregulated market economy. Globalization has grown due to advances
in transportation and communication technology. With the increased global interactions comes the growth of international trade, ideas, and culture. Globalization is primarily an economic process of interaction and integration that’s associated with social and cultural aspects. However, conflicts and diplomacy are also large parts of the history of globalization, and modern globalization. Please view this outtake about globalization and interpretation of visual evidence.
Answer the questions below, then comment on the perspectives of two of your colleagues.
Questions:
1. Image A is typical of images emphasizing the economic consequences of globalization. Does globalization appear to be a force that is subject to human control, why or why not? How would you define globalization?
2. Compare image A with image B. Is there a connection between the accelerating flows of money and goods and restrictions on the movement of people?
3. In image C, the woman’s medical mask names globalization as the enemy of workers. What does this say about the local conflict over the conditions of labor in a globalized economy?

What aspect of human development does this person post about?
Throughout social media websites and apps, there are individuals who create content about various aspects of human development such as physical
health, nutrition, parenting, emotional wellbeing, and so much more. On Instagram, some popular examples are @takingcarababies,
@biglittlefeelings, and @milestones.and.motherhood. Some of these individuals are professionally qualified to discuss these topics; they earned
degrees, licenses, and work in the field. Others are not qualified and make claims based on personal experience and anecdotal evidence. You will evaluate the content of three different social media influencers and compare and contrast what they say about their topic
and what the research says.
Find three social media influencers who create content about an aspect of human development. To be considered an “influencer” they must
have over 100,000 followers and post content to FaceBook, Instagram, or TikTok regularly. Make sure to provide their social media handle.
Evaluate each influencers content over the past two weeks. Provide links and/or screenshots of stories, captions, and other content to use. Then answer the following questions:
o What aspect of human development does this person post about?
o Are they qualified in any way to post about this subject? If so, what makes them qualified?
o Pick two specific posts over the past two weeks for each influencer and evaluate the accuracy of the information they provided to their
followers? Is it correct, is it complete?
