From the readings provided, it is evident that the diagnosis of diabetes is difficult to make, especially in the elderly patient.
Compose a paper that supports why this is true. Base your response on how the common signs and symptoms of diabetes mimic normal physiological changes, adverse drug reactions, co-morbid signs and symptoms, and geriatric syndromes. Use specific examples as evidence to support your position. Conclude your paper with a comparison of the consequences of early and late diagnoses of diabetes that demonstrates the importance of astute assessment for early diagnosis

PICO question format
"In adult patients with bacteremia and bacterial pneumonia, does adjunctive measurement of pro-calcitonin level improve patient outcomes such as early diagnosis, reduction in morbidity/mortality compared with standard diagnostic methods?"
PICO stands for:
?Population/ Patient Problem: Who is your patient? (Disease or Health status, age, race, sex)
ICU patients admitted with bacterial sepsis and or pneumonia
?
Intervention: What do you plan to do for the patient? (Specific tests, therapies, medications)
adjunctive measurement of pro-calcitonin level

?Comparison: What is the alternative to your plan? (ie. No treatment, different type of treatment, etc.)
?standard methods of treatment for septic shock and pneumonia

Outcome: What outcome do you seek? (Less symptoms, no symptoms, full health, etc.)
improved patient outcomes such as early diagnosis, reduction in morbidity/mortality compared with standard diagnostic methods.

ABSTRACT

In 150 words or less, describe on this page the project's broad, long-term objectives and specific aims. Describe concisely the research design and methods for achieving these goals (or the plan for implementing the creative activity). This description is meant to serve as a succinct and accurate description of the proposed work when separated from the application.
Statement of Proposal Focus and Research Question

My research focus is the study of Chlamydia trachomatis. I am interested in Chlamydia because it is the most prevalent bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States. Young adults have the highest rates of chlamydial infection and are at the highest risk for infection among all age groups. Yet, as a group, they do not use Chlamydia screening services. Why? Early diagnosis of Chlamydia is important, not only to minimize disease spread but also to prevent sequelae, including epididymitis, pelvic inflammatory, disease, ectopic pregnancy, infertility and chronic pelvic pain.
Traditional Chlamydia testing procedures have served as another obstacle to early detection because collection of endocervical and urethral specimens is uncomfortable at best. Fortunately, the introduction of several nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) now makes it possible to detect Chlamydia noninvasively from male and female using a simple urine sample. My interest in increasing the participation of the gatekeepers, the medical profession in offering these screening programs to this age group by having focus groups address concerns and dispel misconceptions, and provide more information about Chlamydia to this population that is the highest risk.

The following is a statement of my qualitative research question(s).
How can healthcare providers improve participation in Chlamydia screening programs?

Please, have Writergirl 101(shes the best!!) do this project this will be a 2 part project. First part due now and second part in 2 weeks.This is for a Community/public health nursing course. Thank-you.

Here are the requirements:Subject/topic SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

At least two journal articles focusing on the problem must be utilized.

Please include prevalence and incidence rates of the disease or problem.

This first part of the paper you are to address the problem you have chosen and the current thinking regarding the impact of the problem on society.

Address the historical significance of the problem.

Address the problem in relation to Healthy People 2010 Objectives (Is it mentioned as an objective?? What does Healthy People say about this problem?)Healthy people 2010 has a web site if you need info.

Address the natural life history of the problem.

Critically assess primary( HEALTH PROMOTION AND SPECIFIC PREVENTION), secondary(EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT) and tertiary interventions(LIMITATION OF DISABILITY).

Exercises:(80 points)
1. The various kinds of health professionals are educated in separate schools but with considerable overlap in curricula and training requirements. They are, however, expected to integrate their training and work together after graduation. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to professional education in terms of costs, educational efficiency, and patient care quality.
2. An oversupply of physicians in many urban regions contrasts with continuing problems of access in rural and inner-city areas. Why does the mal-distribution of physicians persist in spite of the number of physicians graduated?
3. The health care delivery system now places increased emphasis on maintaining wellness and on promoting disease avoidance through healthy behaviors and lifestyles. What challenges does this new orientation pose for our existing system of medical education and training?


Option 2: Additional Discussion Question (Module 4)
Please respond to one of the questions that you did not respond to on the required discussion posting separate paragraph end of essay
In 1992, medical residency programs in the U.S. were described as "responsive principally to the service needs of hospitals, the interests of the medical specialty societies, the objectives of the residency program directors, and the career preferences of the medical students." In fact, there are so many more residency programs than can be filled by American medical school graduates, that an annual influx of foreign educated physicians has been required to satisfy the service needs of many hospitals. In addition, until recently, there has been no attempt to match Americas needs for various kinds of specialty and generalist physicians with the hospital-based training programs that were producing them. In light of these facts, pose an opinion on ONE of these questions:
Since the taxpayers fund medical residency training, shouldnt there be some planned balance between the needs for various kinds of physicians and the number of sites for their clinical training?
Few graduates of medical school choose primary care, and instead flock to specialties with greater pay and prestige. Since primary care is the basis for maintaining health and early diagnosis of potential health problems, who should be responsible for rectifying this misplaced emphasis of health care. insurersmedical schoolsthe governmentthe AMAothers?
Since there are not enough American medical school graduates to fill the residencies of the smaller non-teaching hospitals, would not the employment of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, or young physicians starting practice be considered first, before recruiting foreign medical graduates?

Put yourself in a position of a clinician and complete the following activities:
Headings appreciated.

1. Select an individual (artist, writer, musician, actor, famous person, etc.) who has suffered from a psychological disorder.

2. Provide relevant history.

3. Describe evaluation procedures.

4. Identify a diagnosis using the DSM IV criteria

5. Develop a case formulation.

6. Develop a cultural formulation.

7. Plan the most appropriate treatment program for the given diagnosis
based upon a review of findings from current research

Read the following case studies: Determine a diagnosis for the child, write up what symptoms or characteristics they are displaying, which has lead you to believe they are suffering from that disorder. Also come up with a treatment/ intervention plan. Make sure to include all environments that the child is in and how they can all help in the treatment and how each of the environments will play a role, and provide adequate details in your treatment plans. That should be a large section of your paper.


Case Study:
Michael is a 7 year old boy, who was referred by the Pediatrician for an evaluation following his 2 year old exam. In the beginning of his development Mom stated that she has seen the same delays that the Dr. has and also has the same concerns. When called even if only a foot or less away Michael will not respond to his name. He does not even turn his head towards the voice. Michael is not able to follow simple one step directions like come here, sit down, or pick up. He does not really use words to request or say what he wants. Every once in a while, not consistently, he will repeat a word that is modeled. When playing around other children in the 2?s group mom has him in, he does not even notice the other children, he plays by himself, and does not really play, he will just hold 2 objects in his hand (usually the same 2) and when they are taken away he will fall the floor screaming and crying in a very intense tantrum. When he does play he tends to line items up in the same pattern or order, then he will move the line to another room or to another place. He does not seem to know how to play with toys and even if mom sits down to show him or to help him he does not make eye contact will not look at her or imitate what she is doing. He will not point to desired items, and if he wants something will just grab them, if not given what he wants immediately, he will tantrum. When greeted by someone he will not wave hi or bye and will not smile even when someone is smiling at him. Michael seems to be in his own world and does not want others to be in it with him. He tends to be more attached to certain items then he is to his parents or other familiar people. He will play with the same item over and over and repeat the same actions over and over until you break the cycle which can then lead to tantrums. Michael is now following one step directions and even 2 step directions, his tantrums have decreased but he is unable to attend a general education classroom. He gets lost and frustrated by the amount of work and also the amount of distracted by the other children. He is not as social as his parents would like but he has started to engage more with children in the classroom since he has been in Elementary school. Michael is a pleasure to have in class and is a great kid.

Case study:
Judy Jones (age 14) has lost 30 pounds in the last year, and now weighs a very unhealthy 85 pounds. Her primary care doctor has ruled out physical causes, and given her a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa.
We will Use Cognitive-Behavioral Family therapy techniques for Judy case study. And explain why- at least three reasons. Can you cite any scholarly published research to support this choice?
I found one source and could you add two more
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/anorexia/DS00606/DSECTION=treatments-and-drugs
1) Introduction for both anorexia nervosa and Cognitive-Behavioral Family therapy
2) Three paragraphs/ each one must explain in details the reason for using Cognitive-Behavioral Family therapy.
Paragraph 1- reason one
Paragraph 2- reason two
Paragraph 3- reason three
3) Conclusion

With that, here is the description of your client: ?Cliff has been suffering from excessive
and uncontrollable worry almost everyday for the past 15 years. His worry is not
significant enough to cause noticeable physical symptoms such as heart pounding or
sweating. He worries about his financial situation, the health of his family, whether the
traffic will be bad when he goes to work the next day, as well as a variety of other topics.
This is in spite of the fact that he has a very good job, his family is in good health, and he
leaves quite early in order to get to work on time. In other words, the things he worries
about are normal and do not indicate an emergency or a crisis. The topics of his worry
have changed a number of times over the last 15 years, but there always seems to be
something that needs worry. Cliff is restless during the day, tired and fatigued most of
the time, he can also be irritable, and he suffers from insomnia. His worrying has
interfered with his job and his supervisor at work has given him poor performance
evaluations. His relationships with his family have also suffered (they are just too
exasperated with his chronic worries and complaints). His symptoms are not due to drug
use, medications, or any medical condition.. In your essay please answer the following
three questions: (1.) what is Cliff?s diagnosis?, (2.) what symptoms lead you to choose
that diagnosis?, (3.) why did you rule out (i.e. reject) the other SIX anxiety disorders as
the diagnosis? Be specific. Don?t say, ?the symptoms of X didn?t fit?. Please say exactly
what unique symptoms were not present that lead you to rule out each of the other
disorders.

Hello everyone, Here is the information your need for essay #2: ?John and Mary are
both in the mid-40?s and have been married for 6 years. They have come to a sex
therapist with complaints about their sexual relationship. John complains that he has lost
all desire for sex. He does not fantasize, imagine, or think about sexual activity. This
problem has been present for about the past 18 months. Earlier in their marriage John
was interested in sex. In fact, he has never had this problem before this time, either with
Mary or with his previous wife. For the past 2 years John has been working over 60
hours a week at a job that is very stressful. John?s lack of desire leads Mary to feel
rejected and unloved. Mary has a different complaint. She is interested in sex, however,
it has always been somewhat unsatisfying for her. Although she has a desire for sexual
contact, she has never experienced an orgasm. She feels guilty about this and believes
that lack of responsiveness is partially responsible for John?s loss of interest. Mary has
had this problem all of her adult life, even with her previous husband. Mary was raised in
a home where discussions of sexual matters were strictly taboo and sex was
considered ?dirty?. In spite of their problem, both John and Mary say they are still in love
with each other, are both faithful to each other, and have no desire to end their
marriage. John and Mary have seen their physician and she has assured them that
neither have any physical problems that would contribute to their sexual difficulties. No
mood or anxiety disorders,and no drug problems are present for either John or Mary?.

In your essay please answer ONLY the following questions (note; these are NOT the
same questions you answered for essay #1): (1a. & b.) what is the diagnosis for both
John & Mary? In your Diagnoses include the name of the disorders AND the 3
Specifications (i.e. see ?Specify...:? in the ?DSM Table 10.X, DSM-IV-TR Criteria for ...?
boxes) for both John and Mary, (2a. & b.) what are the symptoms that indicate both the
Diagnosis and Specifications for both John & Mary? (you?ll have to search for the
definitions of the specifications(3a & 3b) from the
information given, what is at least one possible cause for John?s problem and for Mary?s
problem?. No need to cite references or include references at the end of your essay.
Please note that there are no rule outs with this essay. You only need to answer the
questions above.

Answer the two questions. Be sure to answer all parts of the questions, identifying each individual segment of each response by its number and letter: for example, 1a, 1b, etc.
If possible use the following as a reference: Drugs, Society, and Human Behavior, 12th ed., by Charles Ksir, Carl L. Hart, and Oakley Ray (Boston: McGraw-Hill, 2008).

Question 2
a. Differentiate between a diagnosis of fetal alcohol effect (FAE) and fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).
b. If an infant is born to a drinking mother without any observable evidence of abnormal development, can we conclude that there was no detrimental impact of alcohol during the gestational period? Explain.
c. Develop a sound rationale against the ingestion of any alcohol during pregnancy, or develop an argument in support of permitting occasional ingestion of a small amount of alcohol during pregnancy.

Question 3
a. Discuss the rationales for and against viewing alcohol dependence as a disease.
b. Discuss the importance of cognitive factors and genetic factors in explaining why some people can drink in moderation and others become dependent on alcohol. Weigh the evidence supporting each of these two ideas.
c. Develop a series of insightful, reasoned statements reflecting your views on the effectiveness of current DUI laws, with specific reference to the behavioral impact of alcohol at various blood alcohol levels.

****SUPERDUPER 68 , PLEASE WRITE ESSAY.

Task 1: Defining Intellectual Disability and Degrees Thereof
Dunlap (2009, p 163) states that the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) defines ?mental retardation? as ?a disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills?

(a) Discuss Dunlap?s use of the term ?mental retardation?: is it an acceptable term, and/or do you consider another term to be preferable?

(b) Do you agree with the AAIDD definition presented above ? Discuss the value of using a combination of IQ and adaptive skills to identify children with intellectual
Disabilities.

Outputs of Palm, Inc. As I indicated before, this is a follow-up using the Nadler-Tushman Congruence Model.We need to analyze how Palm, Inc., has been doing in terms of its performance, how it stacks up against its goals. And we need to do this at three levels: the overall org level, the groups level, and the individual level. The Congruence Model really explains this very well. If you are not up to speed on this model by now, you need to get there.

The execs want to know how congruent the outputs across the three levels. So given your analysis of performance at each of the three levels, are the interactions of these outputs congruent - highly, somewhat, or ver little? I need you to make this determination and support it with a good logical argument using the information that you obtain about Palm's goals and performance.

So start with the Org Level. Identify the Outputs - what does it produce and sell? What are its goals? How has it been performing? Then go the group level. What are some groups that Palm identifies, and the goals and performance of these groups. Finally, discuss the Individual level. Here you will find it difficult to get much detailed information, so identify five to seven key jobs and their outputs. How can the performance of these jobs be measured? Finally determine the congruence of the outputs and make a strong argument for your case. After this we will be close to done. I am looking for a well researched and well written report.

Case Expectations: First you need to identify the outputs of the organization at each of three levels. Also identify the goals that it has set and its current performance. Include the following:

Outputs at the organizational level are the products and/or services that it provides to its customers. What are these and how does the company categorize them? How does it measure its organizational perfomance (e.g., sales, net profit, return on sales, return on assets, market share, customer satisfaction, etc.) Provide some specific performance data.

What are some ways the company identifies groups? For example, are there geographic groups (or divisions), functional groups, etc. What are the outputs of these groups? How does it (or how might it) measure performance of these groups?

What are some of the key individual functions, and what are their outputs? How do these outputs contribute to the group outputs? How do they measure individual performance?

Evaluate how the outputs at the different levels interact with each other. Determine if you think the congruence of the outputs is high, medium, or low. Then Make a strong Case. It is very important that you support your position with evidence and information that you have discussed earlier in the report.



There are faxes for this order.

Case 4 of 5: Do an output analysis on Palm Co. = this is a follow on to order# A2022162 (which was perfect)
Re; Determine outputs and key performance measures at the different levels of Palm
This is a follow-up using the Nadler-Tushman Congruence Model.
Analyze how Palm, Inc., has been doing in terms of its performance and how it stacks up against its goals. Needs to be done at three levels: the overall org level, the groups level, and the individual level. The Congruence Model really explains this very well.
How congruent are the outputs are across the three levels? So given your analysis of performance at each of the three levels, are the interactions of these outputs congruent - highly, somewhat, or very little? Make this determination and support it with a good logical argument using the information that you obtain about Palm's goals and performance.

Requirements/Expectations:

1. Start with the Org Level = Identify the Outputs - what does it produce and sell? What are its goals? How has it been performing?
2. Then go the group level = What are some groups that Palm identifies, and the goals and performance of these groups.
3. Next discuss the Individual level = Here you will find it difficult to get much detailed information, so identify five to seven key jobs and their outputs. How can the performance of these jobs be measured?
4. Lastly determine the congruence of the outputs and make a strong argument for your case.

The paper has to be about a family with certain difficulties or problems (ie. financial problems, can be an illness or a disease) that is causing issues in a way that they function. And using the CFAM & CFIM, which are an interview process, me being the nurse, has to identifie the problems and come up with 4 diagnosis, 2 short term goals for each diagnosis, 2 long term goals, and 4 intervention for each short and long term goal, which is a total 16 interventions. Has to be a total of 10 pages with an ecomap and a genomap diagrams.

Write an 8 page paper in the latest edition of APA format for the following Dermatology case study listed below, involving the 33 year old patient that presents with a rash.
Deduce these three dermatological differential diagnoses for this particular patient writing about the important key features of each diagnosis, including clinical findings in the physical exam, treatment and epidemiological statistics concerning incidence (which means the percentage of how often each diagnosis occurs in the human population which can help in determining which diagnosis is more likely) with related evaluation and treatment and include health promotion/prevention strategies for each:
1) atopic dermatitis (aka eczema),
2) psoriasis,
3) contact dermatitis
Dermatology Case Study:
History of present illness (HPI): A 33-year old has come to your office concerned about a rash of 2-weeks duration located behind the knees and elbows bilaterally. It is itchy, red, somewhat raised, and dry. At times it has had clear drainage.
Past medical history (PMH): Health history is non-contributory; the patient is well overall with no regular medications and ibuprofen for the occasional headache.
Review of systems (ROS): There has been no fever or chills, weight loss, and no CV/Resp/GI/GU symptoms.
EXAM: (Include in the paper for each diagnosis a description of the physical findings which would support the selected diagnoses.)
Here is an outline for each diagnosis that will help with paper organization and to guide the case study development.
1. Approach to symptom evaluation ? here are the important key features of each diagnosis
a. Age
b. Onset
c. Systemic manifestations
d. Health status and living situation
e. Lesion/problem description and distribution region/s
f. Epidemiology (how often it occurs and in what age group in the human population)
g. Risks: Products, environmental (to include school and work)
h. Self-treatment methods
2. Common Primary Skin Lesions
3. Common Secondary Skin Lesions
4. Trauma ? this section may not be relevant to the three diagnoses chosen.
5. Pharmacological Preparations
a. OTC (stands for over the counter medication. Which can be purchased without a prescription.)
b. Prescription medication
i. Topical
ii. Systemic
6. Health promotion/prevention strategies
Here are references to use in addition to the attached textbook and other attachments.

I requested the same writer as last time, only for continuity purposes, its not mandatory but would help I think.

Organizational Diagnosis:
Objective: Evaluate various OD models and determine the best one to use for a specific organization.
Art (the boss) will assign you another project for analyzing Palm Co. This one is about determining which Organizational Diagnosis model to use to analyze Palm.
Evaluate various OD models and determine the best one to use for a specific organization.
"XCG"
THE EXCELLENT CONSULTING GROUP
COMMUNICATION FROM ART:
Thanks for your report on the strategy analysis of Palm. We need to move ahead on the next project.
HP and Palm have decided they want to do an Organizational Diagnosis to determine how various aspects of Palm are aligned such as inputs, resources, productivity, throughput effort, outputs, performance, strategy, etc. They want to know if there are any glaring issues at Palm and how these issues might affect its integration into HP.
There is some disagreement in the Executive ranks as to which OD method of model should be used. Some Execs have familiarity with a couple of models, but it seems to be only based on what they have read or heard about. So you need to explore some models and determine their strengths and weaknesses. And ultimately you need to recommend which one is best for using at Palm. So you will also need to determine what are the several critical issue facing Palm.
The Execs want you to include the 7S Model, the Congruence Model, and the Burke-Litwin Model in your analysis. And I want you to pick three or four more models to include as well - so we have a well-rounded group of OD models.
Case Expectations: Your report should include the following:

1. For each of the models you are analyzing (six or seven), a brief overview of what the model does.
2. Clearly identify the strengths and weakness of each model.
3. Identify and discuss two or three issues that Palm Co is facing.
4. Determine which model you think is the best model to use.
5. Make a recommendation. Make a Stong Case. Explain why your selection would be the best choice. Explain how the recommended model can be used to help diagnose the issues you have identified.

Oganizational Development (OD)
Organizational Development is a fundamental management subject and important for an MBA degree program. One aspect of Org Development is Org Diagnosis, which is not as comprehensive as the overall development or change process. Diagnosis is often the first step in the OD process. Over the years, there have been many OD models developed. Some are better than others and some are more useful in certain situations than others. Later models were developed with Open Systems Theory in mind, which tends to make the models more comprehensive. HP and Palm are interested using an OD model to diagnose Palm's current situation. You will need to have an understanding of some of these models so you can make a recommendation.

Assigned Readings: (if needed)
Download and read this white paper by Falletta about OD models. Salvatore Falletta, President and CEO of Leadersphere, has written a white paper that reviews several commonly used models of organizational diagnosis. We will be using several of these models in conducting your integrative Case project. The relevant part of this paper in terms of this class are the first 31 pages. The last part of the paper (pp. 32 - 43) deals with the theoretical foundations of the Burke & Litwin model, Falletta's Organizational Intelligence Model, and reading that is optional. We are not covering Falletta's Org Intelligence Model. Note that on pages 8 and 9, Falletta discusses OST.
Falletta, S.V. (2005) Organizational Diagnostic Models: A Review and Synthesis. Retrieved 11/14/09 from http://www.leadersphere.com/img/OrgmodelsR2009.pdf
Faletta provides an overview OST in his paper (pp. 8 & 9). Keep in mind that OST is not an OD model, but is rather a basis for most of the later models.For a deeper understanding, go to this URL and read about systems, systems thinking, and organizaions as open systems. You will see that businesses are not unlike living organisms. They depend on the environment for sustenance. They are comprised of multiple, mutually dependent parts. And they affect the environment in the course of their daily activities. Thus, organizations are open systems.
