Include the following information and address the following questions in your final presentation

• Include detailed speaker notes . What are the geological features of the selected

region where your organism dwells? • What life exists in your chosen region? List the top 10 prevalent marine organisms from your chosen region. • Select a marine organism from the region and discuss its adaptation to the environment due to two of the major environmental problems facing our oceans today, global climate change and plastic

pollution • Discuss its relationship to the other organisms that

live in the same food chain. . Include future adaptations. • How do the currents and tides affect your selected

animal? • Select the same animal as you did earlier in this assignment or another animal from the same region and hypothesize how it may need to adapt in the future due to natural circumstances or pollution. Will your chosen species in fact, be able to adapt to such rapid changes or go extinct?

Previous knowledge/skill and attitude (sometimes referred to as “mindset”) are important foundations for learning. In this first discussion, reflect on these two foundations and write a response for each of them to begin your practice of communicating technical information. Your response should be approximately 500 words containing two paragraphs, one for each foundation.

Now that you have completed the Module 1 Prerequisite Skills HW assignment and reviewed your Study Plan, reflect on how well you did. Some questions to prod your thinking include:

Do you remember learning these concepts previously?
Are there some rules that you forgot? Which ones?
Did you zip through the assignment with little or no difficulty?
Did you try out the Learning Aids in MML? If so, which is your favorite tool and why?
Attitude
Describe your thoughts or feelings about the skills you should have coming into this course and expectations for what you will be learning in this course. Be sure to connect your reflections to the Learning Outcomes listed on the Syllabus page. Just a reminder that the Learning Outcomes are different than those in MATH 111.
Some things to consider writing about:

Topics for this course that will build on the skills previously learned.
How a particular teacher influenced your feelings toward learning mathematics.
A good/bad experience in an early math class that might have influenced your attitude towards math.
How you use math in your work-related activities or daily life.
You also might want to consider the definition of Limits. How is the mathematical definition different from or similar to what you use in your daily life.

Health History and Medical Information

/in /by

It is necessary for an RN-BSN-prepared nurse to demonstrate an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiological processes of disease, the clinical manifestations and treatment protocols, and how they affect clients across the life span.

Evaluate the Health History and Medical Information for Mrs. J., presented below.

Based on this information, formulate a conclusion based on your evaluation, and complete the Critical Thinking Essay assignment, as instructed below.

Health History and Medical Information

Health History

Mrs. J. is a 63-year-old married woman who has a history of hypertension, chronic heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite requiring 2L of oxygen/nasal cannula at home during activity, she continues to smoke two packs of cigarettes a day and has done so for 40 years. Three days ago, she had sudden onset of flu-like symptoms including fever, productive cough, nausea, and malaise. Over the past 3 days, she has been unable to perform ADLs and has required assistance in walking short distances. She has not taken her antihypertensive medications or medications to control her heart failure for 3 days. Today, she has been admitted to the hospital ICU with acute decompensated heart failure and acute exacerbation of COPD.

Subjective Data

  1. Is very anxious and asks whether she is going to die.
  2. Denies pain but says she feels like she cannot get enough air.
  3. Says her heart feels like it is “running away.”
  4. Reports that she is exhausted and cannot eat or drink by herself.

Objective Data

  1. Height 175 cm; Weight 95.5kg.
  2. Vital signs: T 37.6C, HR 118 and irregular, RR 34, BP 90/58.
  3. Cardiovascular: Distant S1, S2, S3 present; PMI at sixth ICS and faint: all peripheral pulses are 1 ; bilateral jugular vein distention; initial cardiac monitoring indicates a ventricular rate of 132 and atrial fibrillation.
  4. Respiratory: Pulmonary crackles; decreased breath sounds right lower lobe; coughing frothy blood-tinged sputum; SpO2 82%.
  5. Gastrointestinal: BS present: hepatomegaly 4cm below costal margin.

Intervention

The following medications administered through drug therapy control her symptoms:

  1. IV furosemide (Lasix)
  2. Enalapril (Vasotec)
  3. Metoprolol (Lopressor)
  4. IV morphine sulphate (Morphine)
  5. Inhaled short-acting bronchodilator (ProAir HFA)
  6. Inhaled corticosteroid (Flovent HFA)
  7. Oxygen delivered at 2L/ NC

Critical Thinking Essay

In 750 words, critically evaluate Mrs. J.’s situation. Include the following:

  1. Describe the clinical manifestations present in Mrs. J.
  2. Discuss whether the nursing interventions at the time of her admissions were appropriate for Mrs. J. and explain the rationale for each of the medications listed.
  3. Describe four cardiovascular conditions that may lead to heart failure and what can be done in the form of medical/nursing interventions to prevent the development of heart failure in each condition.
  4. Taking into consideration the fact that most mature adults take at least six prescription medications, discuss four nursing interventions that can help prevent problems caused by multiple drug interactions in older patients. Provide a rationale for each of the interventions you recommend.
  5. Provide a health promotion and restoration teaching plan for Mrs. J., including multidisciplinary resources for rehabilitation and any modifications that may be needed. Explain how the rehabilitation resources and modifications will assist the patients’ transition to independence.
  6. Describe a method for providing education for Mrs. J. regarding medications that need to be maintained to prevent future hospital admission. Provide rationale.
  7. Outline COPD triggers that can increase exacerbation frequency, resulting in return visits. Considering Mrs. J.’s current and long-term tobacco use, discuss what options for smoking cessation should be offered.
