You are the nurse manager on a large unit that has 14 FTE RNs on staff, 25 FTE LPNs, and 15 FTE nursing aides, orderlies, and clerks. The schedule for the next 2 months is due in administration by next week, and you are beginning to work on it. Various requests have been submitted by personnel for vacations, educational conferences, time to attend a wedding, and long weekends, and a request from one nurse asks not to be rotated to weekend evenings or nights because her husband bowls on weekends, and she has no babysitter for their three young children. Then answer the following questions:
What types of additional information do you need to complete this schedule?
How do you honor requests as submitted? What if two of the requests for vacations came from RNs scheduled to work the same weekends, and they both asked for exactly the same days off?
How do you inform staff whether their requests have been honored? Are they informed by seeing the posted schedule?
Are requests taken in the order in which they are received? Or do you have another means of honoring requests?
Provide your responses on an APA formatted paper.

LASA – Case Study Writing Assignment TOPIC Bacillus anthracis
Instructions The major project for this course will be to create a detailed case study discussing a bacterial organism we cover during the course. A list of acceptable organisms will be provided for you to choose from. Once you have selected an organism, you will research and write a formal report. The report should be 4-6 pages, written in the APA (6th edition) format. Use at least 3 credible resources (one may be the textbook). As with any writing assignment, be sure that you edit the assignment for any spelling or grammatical errors. Make sure that the information obtained from your references has been restated in your own words and has proper in-text citations. The assignment will be run through turnitin.com to assess originality. Please refer to the course syllabus and Catalog for policies and procedures related to plagiarism and academic dishonesty. A simple example of a case study has been posted to doc sharing to give you an idea of how to format this assignment. Please note that the sample posted does not include all required components for this specific assignment! It is only meant to give you a general idea of how to organize your paper. Refer to the required content and notes described below to make sure that all components are present in your final submission! You may also wish to review the posted grading rubric before submitting your final draft.
Summary of Required Content  Cover Page  Part A – The Case Study (1-2 pages)  Part B – The Discussion (2-4 pages)  Part C – The Quiz (1 page)  Part D – The References (0.5 page)
Cover Page Please refer to APA resources (Writing Center, Academic Resource Center, Purdue OWL website) for instructions on how to format a cover page. Part A – The Case Study – Specific Components  Relevant patient history  Clinical presentation  Laboratory findings  Final diagnosis  Treatment and patient outcome
Part A – The Case Study – Additional Notes/Hints In Part A, you are writing a case study about a fictitious (made up) patient infected with a disease caused by the organism you have selected. You should describe symptoms and a clinical history that makes sense for the organism and disease selected. You should list general lab results that are relevant for the disease (i.e. CBC results, chemistry values, urinalysis results, etc.) as well as traditional microbiology work up results (Gram stain, culture plate morphology, biochemical tests, and so on). Once you have described the history, symptoms, and lab findings, you should state the official diagnosis. You should also discuss the specific treatment used for this patient, as well as this patient’s final outcome (i.e. did they recover, did they experience any complications, etc.). When completed, Part A should be about 1-2 pages long.
Part B – The Discussion – Specific Components  Organism habitat & transmission  Clinical significance of organism  Specimen collection & processing procedures  Laboratory identification procedures  Treatment protocols & antimicrobial susceptibility pattern
Part C – The Quiz – Additional Notes/Hints In Part C you will develop a quiz to check reader comprehension. The quiz should have a minimum of 5 multiple choice questions that the reader could answer after reading your case study and discussion (Parts A and B). You must also submit an answer key for the quiz. When completed, the quiz should be about 1 page
Part D – The References – Specific Components  Minimum of 3 fully cited references in APA format
Part D – The References – Additional Notes/Hints In Part D you are simply providing a correctly formatted reference list. You should have been restating and citing your references along the way as you wrote Parts A and B. These in-text citations direct the reader to the reference list, where they can find complete information about the resources you have used to write this paper. Your reference page will be about 0.5 pages long when formatted correctly. Make sure you use a minimum of 3 credible resources. One of these resources can be your textbook. A credible resource can be a textbook, a reference manual, a journal article, or even a website. The best place to search for references is the Online Library (linked through your student portal), which provides access to dozens of peer-reviewed reference sources. If you’re not sure how to research using the online library, please reach out to the Writing Center, the Academic Resource Center, or the Library here on campus. Contact your instructor or the BSMT program chair if you aren’t sure how to contact these resources.
