Write a 1200-1500 word APA formatted essay with three sources of support, addressing all of the following topics:You are the primary care provider for a 24-year-old male who has recently been in a car accident. Your patient has been addicted to prescription drugs since a college football injury at the age of 20, when he was prescribed narcotics. He has suffered a neck injury in the car accident and was given narcotic pain medication upon discharge from the hospital. What are your short term and long term goals for the treatment of this patient? How will you safely meet these treatment goals?You are the primary care provider for Mrs. Z, a 70-year-old female patient who has suffered from chronic back pain for a number of years. You are well acquainted with this patient, and due to recent changes in prescription regulations you now see her once a month to renew her narcotic prescription. Three months ago Mrs. Z’s 17-year-old granddaughter moved in with her, after a fight with her mother. Z’s granddaughter was a straight-A student prior to a car accident at the age of 15. She dropped out of high school last year and spent two weeks in rehab for substance abuse. Mrs. Z states her back pain has been worse recently, and she seems to be running out of pills before the end of the month. She is requesting a greater number of pills be prescribed. What concerns do you have? What questions would you ask Mrs. Z? What approach would you take with her? How would you help this family? You are a primary care nurse in a heart failure clinic. Mr. G presents in the clinic with a three-pound weight gain in the past two days. Upon assessment, he has +2 pitting edema in bilateral lower extremities. When you ask him about his regular Lasix regimen, he shows you a plastic bag full of pills and states that he has so many pills prescribed, he just takes what he thinks he needs when he feels like he needs it. Included in the bag are Cardizem, Toprol XL, glipizide, gabapentin, Lasix, multiple vitamins, ginseng supplements, fish oil supplements, and cinnamon supplements. Where do you start? How can you coordinate a multidisciplinary approach in caring for this patient? What patient education is necessary? How can you assist Mr. G in keeping his medications straight? Introduction and conclusion to be added. 

Objective:  The purpose of this discussion board is to reflect on the benefits and challenges of internet research as it applies to using the W.I.S.E. Approach to Critical Thinking.  Make sure you use APA style citations and references in your initial response. In your responses, continue to cite the references but you do not need to establish a new reference list.MAKE SURE your reference list includes Ruggiero, the Ted talk, and the two websites.Read chapter 2 carefully https://brytewave.redshelf.com/library/Watch theTED talk by Markham Nolan:  How to Separate Fact and Fiction Online.https://www.ted.com/talks/markham_nolan_how_to_separate_fact_and_fiction_online#t-149009Explore these two sites—one a legitimate corporate sponsored site, the second, videos from a copy-cat site (the actual site has been taken down) with a very similar look.CAUTION—the copy-cat videos have graphic material and is not suitable for children.http://www.kelloggs.com/en_US/kellogg-s-frosted-flakes-cereal-product.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtiyxVeXyURJ3Aukxk0-ZTQDiscussion Prompt: In 300 words or less, write on BOTH of these two questions:    1.  What principles or lessons can you draw from Markham Nolan’s presentation, and how are they important in the critical thinking process?  How could the Copy-cat site and the Corporate site for Kellogg’s confuse viewersMake sure you refer to the content from chapter three as part of your reflection.  Specifically cite an element of the W.I.S.E Approach.What did you learn that you can apply to your own discipline of thinking?   Have you had classmates/patients/clients share something from the internet where you questioned the source?

We will be reviewing a “keeper study” this week—evaluate an article by working through the following 7 questionAgain, keeper studies can be identified using handy Rapid Critical Appraisal checklists consisting of a set of simple but important questions. Below are sample questions developed for use with quantitative studies that are applicable to most appraisal situations (it’s important to note that qualitative evidence, if it’s relevant to the clinical question, should not be dismissed):Why was the study done? Make sure the study is directly relevant to the clinical question.What is the sample size? Size can and should vary according to the nature of the study. Since determining a valid minimum sample size in a single study can be difficult, taking into account multiple studies is beneficial.The answer to this question alone should not remove a study from the appraisal process.Are instruments of the variables in the study clearly defined and reliable? Make sure the variables were consistently applied throughout the study and that they measured what the researchers said they were going to measure.How was the data analyzed?Make sure that any statistics are relevant to the clinical question.Were there any unusual events during the study? If the sample size changed, for example, determine whether that has ramifications if you wish to replicate the study.How do the results fit in with previous research in this area? Make sure the study builds on other studies of a similar nature.What are the implications of the research for clinical practice? Ask whether the study addresses a relevant and important clinical issue.

1. Discuss deviant workplace behavior? How is deviant workplace behavior influenced by the group to which the individual belongs?The assignment is to answer the question provided above in essay form.

When looking for literature to cite in your proposal, make sure that your sources meet the following criteria:Your sources have to represent research published in communication journals or those of related disciplines. Having some citations come from related fields (such as psychology, sociology, political science, or feminist studies) is acceptable. However, the majority of your sources must come from the field of communication.Your sources have to come from peer-reviewed journals: When selecting a database to search for articles, you often time have an option to select only peer-reviewed journals.Using books and chapters is acceptable; however, those books and chapters have to be research-oriented and cite empirical research backing claims up. Some good indications that a book is research-oriented:It’s published by a university press or an academic publishing house.It’s got an extensive reference list at the end of the book, or at the end of each chapter.It’s geared toward advanced scholarship in a specific area (i.e., not a textbook).Good sources example:Journal of CommunicationJournal of Personality and Social PsychologyAmerican Political Science ReviewBowling Alone by Robert PutnamThe Psychology of Attitudes by Eagly and ChaikenNot good sources examples:Newsweek, Time, etc.Wikipedia, random web sitesPopular MechanicsA two-page review of the book in a journalQuestions of Communication: A Practical Introduction by Anderson and Ross
