Answer preview

Syphilis is caused by a spirochete known as Treponema pallidum, which is a spiral and fragile bacterium. The bacterium is usually 0.25 micrometers in diameter and about 6 to 15 micrometers long (Theel et al., 2020). The spirochete is only visible with dark-field microscopy, where it is identified by its unique movements. Treponema pallidum can only survive for a few minutes outside the body and is solely a human pathogen. Therefore, for transmission to occur, direct contact has to occur with the infectious lesion. Treponema pallidum is majorly spread through unprotected sexual contact but is also spread through the blood referred to the utero and other blood products. Approximately 83.7% of the reported syphilis cases in the US are transmitted through unprotected sex (Casey, 2019). Since Treponema pallidum cannot survive in places where it is exposed to disinfectants, this means it cannot be contracted from toilet seats or other surfaces. Some of the risk factors for contracting syphilis include having HIV/AIDS, having unprotected sex with multiple partners, and being gay.

Discuss the interrelationship among theory, practice, and research.

Submission Instructions:

Requirements: 500 words

Answer preview

Care is provided through evidence-based practice learned from a theoretical approach and supported by different research perspectives. Care practices are guided by questions that lead nurses to research ideas, while the research findings to those questions are based on theories that will guide nursing practice based on evidence (Janelli, 2018). Effective nursing practices require one to apply knowledge, skills, and compassion to provide care for patients effectively and considerably. Evidence-based nursing practices are guided by research that is based on theories. On the contrary, a theory is a body of knowledge that generates hypotheses that can be tested through research. The research findings are then used as evidence used in nursing practices. That said, research provides results that can make a theory be revised or rejected (Janelli, 2018). The best nursing practices should be grounded in research-based

Answer preview

Although leaders and managers have different attributes, an individual can possess all of them. One such individual was my direct supervisor, who served as a manager and leader for our team. His authority over the team was formal, considering he was appointed to his position. Despite this, my supervisor was quite adept at formulating a vision of what he would like the team to achieve by the end of each year. Furthermore, after doing this, the supervisor would communicate this vision to the team and involve everyone in formulating specific goals and objectives to facilitate the attainment of this vision. My supervisor would then come up with different ways to motivate team members to achieve these goals and, at the end of the year, would evaluate the performance of every team member. These evaluations were used to not only assess goals and objectives achievements but also pinpoint improvement areas.

Based on the selection criteria addressed above, the findings from the 13 selected articles involved randomized controlled trials, retrospective cohorts, and qualitative research. Six journals containing randomized controlled trials showed significant evidence and support for implementing multimodal analgesia acute pain management. Studies involved patients who had undergone bunionectomy, abdominal surgeries, and cardiac surgeries. Further, six retrospective cohorts portrayed substantial support for the multimodal analgesia among patients who had undergone orthopedic surgery. According to Tavernier (2022), orthopedic procedures are highly recognized as complex and painful, influencing intense exploration of the efficacy of multimodal analgesia to address this problem. The qualitative research findings explored the nurses’ and other healthcare professionals’ views regarding how they felt managing acute pain among patients with scheduled lumbar spine surgery. Despite having low levels of evidence and being subject to bias, the results showed that nurses expressed high frustration levels due to the fear of promoting addiction (Tavernier, 2022).

tested for cancer and other differential diseases such as fat necrosis and fibroadenoma.

The care plan for cancerous breast masses will depend on the size of the breasts of the woman, the woman’s overall health, and the grade of the disease. If the disease has spread a lot, cancer can be treated by removing the cancerous area, which is the process known as lumpectomy. This is followed by radiation therapy (Tong et al., 2018). Additionally, the lymph nodes must also be checked for cancer. However, if the disease has not spread, the removal of the cancerous area is enough. Hormonal therapy or endocrine treatment will also be required to prevent any recurrence of the disease, mainly if cancer in the breast ducts (ductal carcinoma in situ) is responsive to estrogen. Some of the most effective medications for endocrine treatment include anastrozole and tamoxifen (Tong et al., 2018). Non-cancerous breast masses are treated using three types of treatments. According to Stachs et al. (2019), one of the treatments is lumpectomy which is a surgery that removes the masses or lumps.

Requirements: at least 750 words

Answer preview

CCB are blood pressure medications that help prevent calcium from entering the heart muscles and arteries because it makes the heart contract more strongly. Blocking calcium help give space for the blood muscles to relax and open hence slowing the functioning and lowering the pressure in the blood (Semenzato, Botton, Drouin, Baricault, & Vabre, et al., (2021), The medication is also prescribed for patients with chest pains. CCB is in two categories, the short-acting ones work more quickly, but their effects last for only a few hours, while it is the opposite for the long-acting medications, which work slowly but produce a long-lasting effect.

The objected data collected included the S1 and S2 heart sounds, which were in a regular rhythm. The pulses were present and equal bilaterally, and body temperature was normal at 97 F. There was no wheezing sound while breathing.

In conclusion, my patient was perfectly well. I advised the patient to keep up with a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and avoiding exposure to air pollutants. To take care of both the heart and lungs, the patient should maintain a healthy weight, eat healthy food, avoid smoking, and get good quality sleep. An important factor to consider is to get regular health screening such as blood pressure screening, type 2 diabetes, and checking cholesterol levels.

This type of diabetes occurs when the insulin that produces pancreas beta cells is attacked and destroyed by the body’s immune system. It is not well known what causes this type of diabetes, but scientifically it is believed to be caused by genes and environmental factors such as viruses that might trigger the disease (McIntyre, Catalano, Zhang, Desoye, & Mathiesen, 2019). Although the disease affects people in all age gaps, it is most common in children and teenagers due to gene transfer from parents linked with the disease. Some of the risk factors include environmental factors such as exposure to viral illnesses that can trigger the development of the disease and the presence of autoantibodies that damage immune system cells. Other things, such as geographical areas which are away from the equator, can lead to diabetes development.

    The Outcome-Based, Iterative Clinical Reasoning Cycle

    Based on the established case scenario, the evidence-based framework that helped derive a comprehensive clinical judgment was Tracy-Levett Jones’s clinical reasoning cycle. Adopting this model in nursing facilitates critical thinking and in-depth analysis of the eight systematic phases, leading to comprehensive decision-making (Levett-Jones, 2013). Starting with the initial phase entails searching for all the facts displaying the patient’s status. As seen in the clinical case, the mother of a newborn recovering at the ward got transferred to the NICU due to the child’s situation whereby the skin had turned yellow as well as the white parts of the eyes. Notably, the presiding doctor diagnosed that the newborn had neonatal jaundice.

    Looking back at the clinical case, the second step was gathering data regarding the mother’s medical history, present complaints, and vital signs. After conducting several tests, the findings showed the infant had elevated bilirubin. Cochran (2021) describes bilirubin as a substance,

Answer preview

Various external factors often influence nurse managers’ decision-making. These factors include existing or new health policies, regulatory agencies, and healthcare financing (Li & Chapman, 2020). Health policy refers to the goals and principles that determine how care is accessed and delivered to patients (Li & Chapman, 2020). These policies are often codified at the federal and state levels and then refined within a hospital (Li & Chapman, 2020). According to Mrs. Hernandez, health policies help guide her decision-making. To get more information about how this happens, I asked Mrs. Hernandez to illustrate how health policy influences her decision-making. She responded by indicating that HIPAA requires healthcare providers to guarantee the privacy of patients’ health information (Li & Chapman, 2020). Due to this policy, Mrs. Hernandez is forced to develop strategies to protect the privacy of patient’s health data. For instance, she prohibits nurses from gossiping about patients admitted to their units, with nurses from their unit and other units.
