This assignment is to assist the student in synthesizing information from previous coursework and apply it to current pediatric practice. The intent is to articulate parameters of best practice and analyze those specific parameters in relation to clinical practice. ·         In order to complete the assignment, please follow the following guidelines: Create a paragraph that identifies your personal definition of best practice in the pediatric arena and the importance of best practice when working with children (3-4 sentences). (8 points) In each column identify what that best practice concept would look like in a practice setting, and what it wouldn’t look like in practice. You can choose one of these practice areas to elaborate on. (Early Intervention, Preschool, school based i.e. elementary junior high, or highschool.)

Cystitis Ms. Vance, age 28 years, has noticed urgency, frequency, and dysuria recently, as well as an unusual odor to the urine. Urinalysis indicated a heavy concentration of Escherichia coli in the urine, some pus, and WBCs. Ms. T was prescribed antibiotics, which she took for the first few days. This seemed to give her relief, but she then stopped taking the medication. Within a few days, the symptoms returned, but she decided to “just live with it.” Question 1: Explain why women are predisposed to cystitis. Question 2: What preventive measures are important in reducing recurrence? Question 3: Discuss other signs and symptoms that may indicate cystitis. Question 4: What potential problems may she experience if she does not adhere to the treatment prescribed?

During palpation of the prostate, the physician noted a hard nodule on the gland’s periphery. Lab tests revealed an elevated PSA level. The remainder of the examination did not reveal any other abnormalities. Question 1: Using the information given, discuss the presentation of cancer of the prostate. Question 2: Discuss the predisposing factors for prostate cancer and identify the high-risk groups. Question 3: Discuss the variation in the growth and course of this type of cancer. Question 4: Discuss how the decision to treat or not to treat is made early in the course of prostate cancer. Question 5: If metastasis occurs, what additional manifestations will occur, and how will they be treated?

He has noticed that his knees feel “hard” and tight. His history indicates that he has always been involved in athletics and was on the college football team, but recently family responsibilities and work have not made it easy for him to exercise. Question 1: Relate Mr. Filstrup’s case history to the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis. Question 2: How do anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics help Mr. Filstrup deal with this form of arthritis? Why is moderate, non–weight-bearing exercise recommended? Question 3: What is the probable prognosis for Mr. Filstrup?

In the field of public health, qualitative data can paint a detailed picture of public health problems, contributing factors, communities, and community needs. Qualitative data may be used to inform researchers about what to measure next, and provide richness to existing quantitative data by offering an understanding of a community’s true experiences. Collecting qualitative data can present an array of potential challenges. In community health assessment, it is imperative that you are able to identify and plan these challenges. For this Discussion, review the media titled Needs Assessment: Conducting a Windshield Survey. Think about the method used to gather information collected and how it could be integrated into a community health assessment. With these thoughts in mind: Post two potential challenges a public health professional may face when collecting qualitative data for a community health assessment and explain why they are challenges. Then, describe two strategies for mitigating these challenges and explain how these strategies might be effective in community health assessment. Use the Resources and current literature to support your response.

The assignment requires that you complete three case studies within Sherpath.   Detached Retina Mr. Gray, a 65-year-old man, was in an automobile accident in which he suffered a concussion. Soon after he was released, he noticed what he described as a “gray spot” in his field of vision. At first he ignored it, thinking it would go away, but the spot seemed to darken and spread over his visual field. He didn’t report any pain with the problem. On calling his physician, he was advised to go to the nearest hospital immediately. A detached retina was diagnosed. After treatment, he regained most of his normal sight back. Five years later, he began having problems again. The central area of his visual field was becoming blurred, and he was losing his depth perception. An initial eye examination revealed neovascularization in both eyes. Question 1:  Relate the patient history and circumstances of the injury and the signs and symptoms related to the pathophysiology of this condition. Question 2: Discuss the treatments available for the patient. Question 3: Relate the symptoms and signs to those of macular degeneration. Question 4: Discuss the treatment available and the prognosis for recovering his normal vision.

Now his speech is slurred, and his right arm and the right side of his face feel numb. He is very anxious and is transported to the hospital. Mr. Quinn has a history of smoking and arteriosclerosis, and there is family history of CVA and diabetes. Assessment at the hospital indicated weakness on the right side, including facial asymmetry and a blood pressure of 220/110 Hg mm. A CT scan showed damaged tissue on the left side of the brain, and an angiogram indicated narrowing of the carotid arteries and middle cerebral arteries, with occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Question 1:  Discuss the pathophysiology related to CVA due to thrombus vs. embolus. Describe the stages in the development of an atheroma. Question 2: Explain the predisposing factors in this case, and relate Mr. Quinn’s initial signs to the pathological changes. Question 3: Discuss the treatments available after first aid for stroke patients and the patient’s prognosis.

After several tests and the elimination of some other neuromuscular conditions, a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease was made for Mr. Nimmo. Question 1: Discuss the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease and how it differs from other neuromuscular conditions affecting older adults. Question 2: Discuss the usual progression of the disease as the pathophysiology develops further. Indicate additional manifestations that will be noticeable. Question 3: Describe the complications that frequently develop, including the rationale for each and the early indications of each problem. Question 4: Discuss the treatments available to this patient.
