In addition, ethics help in ensuring that sensitive information is handled carefully, research is transparent, and held accountably. This is important for researchers as they build credibility on their work and hence can access more sources for funding for their current and future projects. In addition, by adhering to ethics, the researcher protects the rights and well-being of the participants of the study, ensuring they are protected from harm (Roth et al., 2018). During the training, ineffective communication among the team may cause a strain on the nursing research. The NIH requires the training faculty to contribute to formal and informal instructions for responsible research. Therefore, a lack of collaboration and inadequate communication may impact the training process. The training requirements are justified as they guide the training and set clear standards of how the training should take place.

Ceftriaxone should be monitored in patients to identify if the drug has a severe negative effect on the patient it is administered to. The common side effects include diarrhea, abnormal white blood cells and red blood cell count, rash and pain, and redness in the injected area (Kuiper et al., 2022). In addition, it is essential to avoid Ceftriaxone interaction with substances containing calcium like calcium acetate and chloride. Some drugs can work together with Ceftriaxone; these include lymphoma in chemotherapy and Aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Patient awareness of drug resistance is crucial in ensuring they understand the repercussion of drug resistance to their health. Interventions such as direct messaging the patients after educating them during their visit to the healthcare facility will enhance knowledge retention on antibiotic resistance and its effects (Burstein et al., 2019).

pediatric patient health outcomes.

/in /by

The focus of this assignment is to increase your knowledge and understanding of how informatics, specifically the electronic medical record, improves the pediatric patient health outcomes. Caring for the pediatric patient has unique elements that are not applicable in the adult population. Examples are growth and development surveillance, vaccine records, transitional changes that affect “normal findings” by age group. For example, the normal respiratory rate of a newborn is significantly different from a 10-year-old. Additionally, pediatric healthcare providers are expected to educate parents with “anticipatory guidance” according to the age of the patient. For this assignment, you are expected to analyze the utilization of the EMR that you are using in your clinical practicum and evaluate how this particular EMR system is improving health outcomes. For example, does the EMR that you are using have mechanisms in place that track growth and development, which has led to early identification of abnormals?

This assignment has three parts.

The first part is identifying the recommended pediatric-specific functionalities of the EMR system you are using. The template will guide you through the first part of the assignment by addressing a sample of key functionalities.

Part 2 addresses some basic functions that would be recommended in any non-specific EMR.

Part 3 asks you to discuss how your system is addressing certain outcomes such as safety, collaboration, and the prevention of medication errors.

Requirements: 2 pages

Answer preview

The ability of the system to guarantee that every patient receives the same level of treatment has been hailed as a factor in its success in enhancing health outcomes (Atasoy, Greenwood & McCullough, 2019). Ensuring all children obtain the required vaccines in pediatric facilities can lead to positive outcomes. To keep track of immunization records, tracking, documentation, monitoring, and follow-up procedures are employed. A patient’s chances of making a full recovery are higher when doctors and nurses have access to their comprehensive medical history.

The pediatrics EMR makes it unnecessary to have frequent and inconvenient in-person meetings, which helps doctors collaborate. Multiple medical professionals can view patient

Characteristics of traditional German cuisine.

/in /by

After studying Module 6: Lecture Materials & Resources, discuss the following:

Hyde Pfiefer, a retired 70-year-old German American, has lived in the United States for the last 50 years. A widower of 5 years, Mr. Pfiefer prepares his own meals following his wife’s recipes from the old country. Nine months ago, Mr. Pfiefer was told that his cholesterol is elevated, and he was instructed about a low-fat diet. His most recent test results show his values to be unchanged.

  1. Discuss the meaning of food in the German culture.
  2. Using the predominant health beliefs of people of German ancestry, how might you help Mr. Pfiefer reduce his cholesterol level?

Submission Instructions:

  • Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources. Your initial post is worth 8 points.
  • You should respond to at least two of your peers by extending, refuting/correcting, or adding additional nuance to their posts. Your reply posts are worth 2 points (1 point per response.)
  • All replies must be constructive and use literature where possible.
  • Please post your initial response by 11:59 PM ET Thursday, and comment on the posts of two classmates by 11:59 PM ET Sunday.

Answer prview

German cuisine is typically cooked with butter sauce, margarine, lard, or even bacon fat. Mr. Pfiefer did the same with his food when he halted a nutritional risk. High fat intake raises cholesterol (Stefan, 2020). The healthcare professional thus advised Mr. Pfiefer to follow a low-fat diet. To make sure that the cholesterol levels were drastically decreased, he was required to be monitored and have the contents in his food thoroughly assessed. I would particularly pick a food type that Mr. Pfiefer would utilize and advise as a healthcare professional. This food selection would focus on avoiding unhealthy food routines and selecting foods that guarantee a decrease in fat intake. Additionally, some American foods are low in fat; because acculturation is acceptable, I highly advise him to consider information about American cuisine.

Cellular adaptation.

/in /by

Which form of cellular adaptation occurs because of decreased work demands on the cell? Explain your answer.

A. Hypertrophy

B. Hyperplasia

C. Atrophy
D. Metaplasia

Requirements: 250

Answer preview

lifestyles, nerve problems, or health disorders contribute to the reduced or thinning of the cells. Other causes include lack of nerve and hormonal stimulation, genetics, age, and low nutrition. According to Fitzpatrick and Gordon (2018), typical cell atrophy occurs at certain ages or due to psychological circumstances such as lacking proper nutrients. For instance, during birth, the adrenal glands undergo atrophy due to the shrinkage of the interior layer of the cortex. Further, during adolescence, the thymus and lymphoid tissues atrophy. The widespread cell atrophy as age advances results from changes in blood supply and nutrition in an active mature life. The reduced nutritional aspect becomes a concern contributed by starvation or lack of food absorption due to the prevalence of a health disorder. Despite the reversible trait, early detection of cell atrophy is crucial to mitigate high mortality rates that emerge as a consequence.

Arbitration.

/in , /by

(CLO5, 7) Is arbitration an option in human resource problems? How do employees enter arbitration? How is the process or rules of arbitration different from those in courts?

Requirements: 200 words

Answer preview

, the employer must provide an arbitration contract that includes all the details about the arbitration agreement. Then, the employee must read and fully understand the contract terms, so they do not sign a contract that benefits the employer. However, if the employment contract includes an employment arbitration clause, the employee must sign the agreement because any employment disputes will be resolved through arbitration.

Litigation is a public procedure that follows established rules that govern the process. On the contrary, arbitration resolves issues by listening and referring to written documents without following set procedures (Ortolani, 2019).  Also, litigation is time-consuming and costly as the parties must follow formal procedural rules and evidence rules, while arbitration occurs whenever the arbitrator has been appointed. Litigation also involves pre-trial procedures, while arbitration is less costly due to compressed processes.

While complying with the Clean Air Act is important, special concerns should focus on identifying how to minimize the gas and oil industry pollutants. According to the Clean Air Task Force (CATF) (2) fact sheet, these pollutants are the contributors of smog and ozone particles that have caused approximately 1200 children to suffer from asthma attacks. Worrying, no county outside the South Carolina State escapes the health risks from the pollution. Although the State does not have gas and oil reservoirs, the intense activity of these commodities in the respective industry contributes to the air pollution that spreads across the state borders (2). Hence, the emphasis on promoting health safety through the thorough implementation of the air protection federal standards will significantly improve air quality and people’s well-being.

The retrieved guidelines included the administration of oral levofloxacin with the integration of non-pharmacological including a healthy diet plan and patient education on smoking cessation. According to Lee et al. (2018), community-acquired pneumonia results from different causative bacteria like Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumonia. These causative bacteria of respiratory and atypical pneumonia cause pneumonia. Further, smoking worsens the patient’s condition; hence, the treatment plan should be all-rounded to improve their well-being. According to Grief et al.
