Review the following scenario:
In this assignment you will focus on telehealth. You are the nurse manager for the stroke unit at
Gladwin Community Hospital. Your hospital has recently become Joint Commission certified for stroke
care and is in full compliance with the Get with The Guidelines for stroke care (). As a result of your
excellent work in this area and the need for more advanced stroke care to the community, you have
been given the task of setting up a telehealth program for stroke care.
This program will provide support and follow-up care for stroke patients who are not able to travel to the
stroke clinic. The program will also provide nursing assistance to local emergency rooms for triage
purposes. Additionally, emergency physicians will be able to consult with neurologists and transmit CT
scans and video of neurologic examinations.
In order to receive funding for the program, it is beneficial for those in the top level leadership to
endorse the project. As the nurse manager, you will prepare and present informational materials to
those in leadership positions at Gladwin Community Hospital. You will explain the importance of
telehealth and the benefits it will provide for the patients.
Step 2:Create a 16 to- 20 slide presentation.
Prepare a slide presentation to share with leadership to get their initial support. This should cover the
following elements:
The impact of health care informatics on patient outcomes
The role of the Internet in health care informatics
An overview of telehealth
Benefits of telehealth
How telehealth can be used for stroke patients
How the security of patient information can be enhanced
Potential technology needs and the staff training and support that will be needed.
Make sure that you properly cite any resources used and include a reference slide.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.
Scenario: A 16-year-old boy comes to clinic with chief complaint of sore throat for 3 days. Denies fever or chills. PMH negative for recurrent colds, influenza, ear infections or pneumonias. NKDA or food allergies. Physical exam reveals temp of 99.6 F, pulse 78 and regular with respirations of 18. HEENT normal with exception of reddened posterior pharynx with white exudate on tonsils that are enlarged to 3+. Positive anterior and posterior cervical adenopathy. Rapid strep test performed in office was positive. His HCP wrote a prescription for amoxicillin 500 mg po q 12 hours x 10 days disp #20. He took the first capsule when he got home and immediately complained of swelling of his tongue and lips, difficulty breathing with audible wheezing. 911 was called and he was taken to the hospital, where he received emergency treatment for his allergic reaction.
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
The cells that are involved in this process.
How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

How does the lens from which you view the world shape your approach to research inquiry?
Discussion: Philosophy of Science
How does the lens from which you view the world shape your approach to research inquiry? Why is it important as a scholar-practitioner engaged in research to acknowledge your worldview?
The Learning Resources in this first week will help you answer these questions, and they will provide you with a foundation in the philosophy of science that will help you appreciate various research designs and methods. With this foundation, you will be encouraged to reflect on how your assumptions about the acquisition of truth and the nature of the world influence your approach to the research process.
For this Discussion, you will identify an area of interest for a possible research topic. As you read about the different philosophical orientations in this weeks readings, consider if one of these orientations most closely aligns with your worldview and a particular approach to research.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief description of your topic of research interest. Next, state the philosophical orientation that reflects your worldview and explain the epistemological and ontological assumptions of this orientation. Then, explain how these assumptions lend themselves to one or more research approaches.
Can you predict how a shift in perspective might help you actually overcome your problems?
The Power Process Love your problems helps you take effective action by accepting and experiencing your barriers. But sometimes the best action is no action at all. Consider the following story.
A traveler takes shelter in a cave for the night. He lies down and, after a few moments, sees in the dim light a huge, poisonous snake sleeping right next to him. The fear that arises in him from this sight is so great that he weeps uncontrollably. The snake continues to sleep comfortably for hours, while the travelers fear escalates into a full panic. He envisions the snakes fangs dripping with blood after digging deep beneath his skin. He imagines the pain of being bitten and dying slowly alone in the cave. Horror and dread fill his imagination. An entire night passes, and the snake does not move. All the while, the traveler cannot escape his fear. He is frozen with it. He must either face his fear or risk waking up the snake in a panicky escape attempt. As daylight moves in, the traveler, exhausted from his inner struggle, begins to see the beauty of the snakes skin and the perfect peace in which it slumbers. In contrast to his fear, suddenly he feels a kinship with the snake. The traveler begins to relax and falls soundly asleep. When the traveler next opens his eyes, the snake is gone. From that day forward the traveler is never sure if the snake really existed. Either way, the lessons learned that night provided the empowerment he needed to shift from a focus on fear to one of acceptance.
Consider the metaphor of the snake in the story above. Can you observe your problems from a new perspective, one that allows you to accept them? Can you predict how a shift in perspective might help you actually overcome your problems? Share your reflections with your group members.
