Case Study:K.G. is a 5 year old kindergarten student that is brought to the ER by his mother after she witnessed apparent seizure activity. His mother describes it as jerking of both arms and legs, and that he wouldn’t answer when she called his name. She doesn’t remember much else, thinks it might have lasted a few minutes, but she is not sure “it seemed like forever”. She doesn’t know any family history, K.G. is adopted and health records were not provided. He has never had an episode like this
before. Upon examination K.G. appears lethargic, makes eye contact when his name is called, but quickly drifts back to sleep. Vital Signs are unremarkable, shorts are damp and there is a urine smell. K.G.’s right arm is in a cast and there is ecchymosis on his right chest and abdomen. Upon questioning his mother reports he fell off the jungle gym at school last week.1.What is the most likely diagnosis for this patient? Why?2.What is the first assessment the nurse should perform?

Write an informal presentation (500-700 words) to educate nurses about how the practice of nursing is expected to grow and change.
The week 2 assignment is a little confusing. You are to write an informal presentation and present to some other nurses. After that, write the second paper and summarize their feedback. You can tie them together in one document, or submit them separately, whichever you want to do. I just need to see that they are separate, not just one big paper. I’ll attach an example of tieing the 2 together in one document. If you have questions, please let me know.
As the country focuses on the restructuring of the U.S. health care delivery system, nurses will continue to play an important role. It is expected that more and more nursing jobs will become available out in the community, and fewer will be available in acute care hospitals.
Write an informal presentation (500-700 words) to educate nurses about how the practice of nursing is expected to grow and change. Include the concepts of continuity or continuum of care, accountable care organizations (ACO), medical homes, and nurse-managed health clinics.
Share your presentation with nurse colleagues on your unit or department and ask them to offer their impressions of the anticipated changes to health care delivery and the new role of nurses in hospital settings, communities, clinics, and medical homes.
In 800-1,000 words summarize the feedback shared by three nurse colleagues and discuss whether their impressions are consistent with what you have researched about health reform.
A minimum of three scholarly references are required for this assignment.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
