Reply 1

Assess the patient’s history and define precipitating factors that increase and decrease the pain, pain onset, and pain medication that has helped in the past. Determine history of addiction. Obtain a urine drug test (UDT). A negative UDT for a patient-reported to be taking pain medication is suspicious; Negative results do not always indicate diversion. A complicated issue may be present, like misuse and overuse, or social factors such as loss of insurance or medication cost may be high, and the patient may be lacking the money to pay for the medication (Woo, 2019).

  1. What are the various schedules of medications for controlled substances?

Schedule I

Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of Schedule are heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy), methaqualone, and peyote.

Schedule II

Schedule II drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a high potential for abuse, with use potentially leading to severe psychological or physical dependence. These drugs are also considered dangerous. Some examples of Schedule II drugs are: combination products with less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone per dosage unit (Vicodin), cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), meperidine (Demerol), oxycodone (OxyContin), fentanyl, Dexedrine, Adderall, and Ritalin

Schedule III

Schedule III drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence. Schedule III drug abuse potential is less than Schedule I and Schedule II drugs but more than Schedule IV. Some examples of Schedule III drugs are: products containing less than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with codeine), ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone

Schedule IV

Schedule IV drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a low potential for abuse and low risk of dependence. Some examples of Schedule IV drugs are: Xanax, Soma, Darvon, Darvocet, Valium, Ativan, Talwin, Ambien, Tramadol

Schedule V

Schedule V drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with a lower potential for abuse than Schedule IV and consist of preparations containing limited quantities of certain narcotics. Schedule V drugs are generally used for antidiarrheal, antitussive, and analgesic purposes. Some examples of Schedule V drugs are: cough preparations with less than 200 milligrams of codeine or per 100 milliliters (Robitussin AC), Lomotil, Motofen, Lyrica, Parepectolin

  1. Would you prescribe a long or short-acting narcotic? Why or why not?

Nonopioid therapy is the preferred treatment for pain, but there are times when a patient’s pain is not managed adequately by conservative therapies. At this time in the treatment plan, the provider may consider offering a trial with opioid medications in conjunction with ongoing nonpharmacological and nonopioid therapies if deemed necessary through assessment and patient history. ARNPs in FL per the board of nursing can prescribe controlled substances listed in Schedule II, Schedule III, or Schedule IV as defined in s. 893.03

  1. What other non-narcotic medication options can you offer to this patient?

The patient already identified a stomach ulcer and that NSAIDs did not work. Would ask the patient if he had tried the Celecoxib (Celebrex, Consensi) cox 2 inhibitor would not act on his stomach. A COX-2 inhibitor blocks only the COX-2 enzyme — the one that’s more likely to cause pain and inflammation such as with his back injury. Would also consider Cyclobenzaprine for short-term management of acute exacerbations of muscle spasms. A non-narcotic option for pain relief is tramadol (Ultram). A nonopioid analgesic that binds to the m receptor and has low opioid and SNRI activity. Because of its opioid-like activity, tramadol should not be used in patients recovering from narcotic addiction (Woo, 2019). This would only be prescribed if he is a recovering narcotic addict. Dosing of tramadol is usually 50 to 100 mg every 4 to 6 hours, not to exceed 400 mg/d.

2. What patient education is needed with them?

Documenting explanations and educational information is a part of the medical record. Records should reflect what was discussed with the patient and that the patient expressed an understanding of the content and medications treatment plan. Protect children from having access to medications, safe storage that is not within easy access of others, use of medication safes, not sharing medications, taking medications for the purpose they were prescribed, do not take medications from another person, do not drink alcohol while taking cyclobenzaprine or crush tramadol, do not stop taking medications without discussing this with the provider, and to notify the provider of any changes in health status or adverse events that are believed to be associated with the medication. Do not operate machinery on cyclobenzaprine and should take it before bed may cause drowsiness.

3. What would you do if the patient and his wife tell you that none of them work for him? Discuss the treatment plan with the patient and develop appropriate treatment options. Discuss if these combinations have been tried together in the past to relieve pain. Would consider the history and treat pain as appropriate. Cox 2 inhibitors, muscle relaxants cyclobenzaprine, and Tylenol should be effective. Could prescribe 3-day supply of short-acting narcotic of Norco 5/325mg q4 prn not to exceed 4g/day and discuss referral to a pain specialist if deemed unsuccessful in non-narcotic treatment options. Or develop a plan with the patient. Discuss Opioid therapy based on the assessment phase data and should only be considered if the anticipated benefits for pain and function outweigh the potential risks (Woo, 2019). Two specific components that need to be in place before initiating the trial of an opioid are the patient-provider agreement (PPA) and the informed consent. The PPA details the expectations of treatment and identifies acceptable behaviors on the part of the patient such as not sharing medications, avoiding misuse, using only one pharmacy, not seeking treatment or prescriptions from other providers, submitting to random UDTs, no early refill requests, and keeping follow-up appointments. The PPA also outlines consequences for noncompliance with the treatment plan which can include the termination of care by the provider. Informed consent is used to document the discussion of the risks and benefits of each medication prescribed. Establishing realistic functional goals with the patient is also necessary and they can be used as a benchmark of progress during treatment. Additionally important is the discussion about the safe handling and storage of opioid prescriptions at home.

2ndamendment | Civil homework help

Todd Patterson, a 33-year-old husband and father, is a proud gun owner who has multiple handguns, shotguns, and two automatic weapons. In this case an automatic weapon is defined as a firearm that continuously fires so long as the user presses the trigger and there is ammunition in the gun.

Todd has no criminal record. When he was 17 years old, after losing both his parents in a plane crash, he had a mental breakdown resulting in a six-month institutionalization. Todd lives in the fictitious state of Varneyland where he works as a social studies teacher and soccer coach at a local high school.

On a sunny morning in a neighboring state, a man with a history of mental illness enters an elementary school and kills 3 teachers and 10 students with an automatic assault rifle. In response to this shooting, many states across the country, including Varneyland, pass legislation requiring the registration of all automatic weapons. As part of the registration process, those seeking to register their automatic weapons are required to submit to a mental health background check.

In filling out the application to register his automatic weapon, Todd reveals his prior institutionalization, but also states that he has not had any mental health issues since he was a teenager. When the state of Varneyland conducts Todd’s mental health background check, it uncovers that Todd had a diagnosis of major depression with suicidal tendencies. Todd’s mental health records also reveal a history of self-harm.

Based on the review of Todd’s mental health records, Varneyland denies Todd’s application to register his automatic weapons and sends Todd a letter demanding that he forfeit his automatic weapons or risk criminal and civil penalties. Because Todd refuses to hand over his automatic weapons, the state police arrest him and charge him with possession of an unregistered automatic weapon (a felony crime under Varneyland law).

At his criminal trial, Todd argues that the registration requirements and his subsequent arrest are violations of his Second Amendment rights. 

Based on recent case law, do you think that Todd’s arguments possess any merit? Please be sure to specifically discuss recent case law and how it affects Todd’s case. 

Please note that the recent 2nd Amendment case law is described in the Week 4 Content section of the classroom. 

Please note that your answers have nothing to do with your personal feelings, thoughts or experiences with these issues. Your answers are to be based purely on the law, specifically precedent set by case law

Introduction
A warm welcome to the University of Derby’s Care of the Surgical
Patient Module (6NU547). This module aims to enhance practitioners’
skills in caring for a perioperative patient undergoing surgical
intervention. The module content and peer discussion will contribute to
your knowledge and skills to deliver effective and efficient evidencebased care.
The care of surgical patients begins in the preoperative phase and is
continued into the perioperative and intraoperative phases through to
recovery and postoperative care. This continuing journey is complex
and involves many people and departments, underpinned by
interprofessional working and collaboration to provide the patient with
high-quality care.
This module adopts a wide approach to this surgical journey and is
suitable for anyone working with surgical patients or who may have an
interest in surgery as a health and social care practitioner. Students will
be encouraged not only to see their involvement in surgery and
perioperative practice as the application of a range of technical skills but
also to place the person undergoing surgery at the centre of their focus,
challenging existing techniques and practices.
Perioperative practice is considered in the rich multimedia content
provided; although there is no ‘hands-on’ practice element in this
module, we do hope that the critical commentary in our online materials
enables you to question, reflect on and refine your approach to promote
safer surgery in the perioperative setting. As with all aspects of clinical
practice, this would need to be agreed with your employer, in line with
regulatory body guidance and other national and local guidelines.
Module Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
1. Critically appraise their own role in relation to care of the surgical patient
2. Critically examine contemporary issues and challenges in surgical care
3. Synthesise theory and practice in relation to learning from incidents and implementing
solutions to minimise the likelihood of them reoccurring
Assessment Description
Formative assessment
Throughout the care of the surgical patient module there will be several
activities for you to complete. Your response to the activities forms
short pieces of writing that build up gradually week by week. When
sharing each posting with others in the Discussion Board it helps you to
self-question and explore your area of practice. Searching for literature,
in your short posts will develop your academic skills. Summative assessment
At the end of this module, you will have several discussion postings that
you can use to demonstrate a critical reflective 3,500-word narrative
about your practice. For example, you may select the discussion relating
to the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist and give a reflective perspective
on how you contribute to its use. Or you may work in a practice area
that has Standards of Practice, using literature to show you are using
evidence to underpin what you do for the care of the surgical patient.

Interdisciplinary Communication – Best Research Writing Services

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation that describes  communication barriers within an interdisciplinary team and how those  barriers affect patient safety and health care outcomes. Offer a  solution in which you recommend evidence-based strategies to improve  communication within the team and explain how the strategies benefit the  team and patients.

The ability to effectively communicate as part of interdisciplinary  collaboration is essential for patient safety and successful health  care delivery.

Effective communication is important in all organizations and is  especially important in the area of health care. Communication can come  in many forms, but the crucial factor is whether the communication is  effective.

Collaboration among teams is important for the delivery of  appropriate medical care and for providing the specialized skills  necessary to meet the needs of patients and the public. Assessing the  needs of a community may involve communication across several public  service providers and private entities.

Maintaining open communication and collaboration among teams is  essential to assess the needs of a community or those of patients and  their families within a health care system. The same communication  skills must be evident within the interdisciplinary health care team, or  across the public and private sectors in a community, in order to  promote collaboration and understanding and to provide the utmost  quality service.

Imagine you are part of an interdisciplinary health care team in your  organization. Although the team has been working together for several  months, communication between members is not always efficient or  effective, and the situation has become stressful for everyone. The team  leader asks you to develop a presentation for the team that addresses  the issue.

Preparation

Search the Capella library and the Internet for scholarly and  professional peer-reviewed articles on communication. You will need at  least three articles to use as support for your work on this assessment.

Directions

Create a 6–8-slide PowerPoint presentation to examine the  communication issue and the risk it creates for positive health care  outcomes.

  • Describe the types of communication barriers that occur within an interdisciplinary team.
  • Explain how the communication barriers can impact patient safety and health care outcomes.
  • Recommend specific evidence-based strategies to improve communication within the team.
  • Explain how the strategies will benefit team members and patients.

Use the notes section of each slide to expand your points and cite  your supporting evidence. Also, include a title slide and a reference  slide that lists the resources you used in this assessment.

Additional Requirements

  • Use APA format for citations and references.
  • Be creative. Consider your intended audience.

INNOVATION FOR ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE PROBLEM

Eradication Of Smallpox, Polio, And COVID-19

Some of the most notable epidemics include the bubonic plague in the 14th century, smallpox in the 18th century, influenza in the 20th century, and SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in the 21st century. It is estimated that the bubonic plague caused 25 million deaths in Europe in the 14th century alone, and up to 200 million total deaths across centuries (Glatter & Finkelman, 2021). The COVID-19 pandemic spread at an unprecedented pace due to globalization and the mobility of society, killing millions worldwide. These are dramatic examples of the kinds of acute outbreaks that make epidemiology such an important field of study.

At the beginning of the 21st century, many epidemiologists and healthcare professionals were concerned about the next potential pandemic or epidemic—and then it arrived in early 2020. Globalization means that when these infectious outbreaks occur, they can spread quickly, but we also have more knowledge and better tools (e.g., vaccine technology) to fight them. For this Discussion, you will compare lessons learned from two successful eradication efforts, that of smallpox and polio, and consider how they may be applied to COVID-19.

 

  • Review the Learning Resources, focusing on the smallpox and polio epidemics and how health organizations applied principles of epidemiology to eradicate (or in the case of polio, nearly eradicate) these diseases.
  • In light of these examples, consider the benefits of addressing smallpox and polio at the population level. What were the population health strategies that were used in the efforts to eradicate smallpox and polio?
  • Consider similarities and differences from an epidemiologic perspective among the smallpox and polio epidemics and that of COVID-19.
  • Think about how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address COVID-19.
  • What lessons from the use of infectious disease epidemiology in the past might be applicable to controlling COVID 19?
  • What are the benefits of addressing this issue at the population level as opposed to the individual level?
By Day 3 of Week 9

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

  • Briefly summarize the epidemiologic differences among the three diseases and how principles of epidemiology are being applied—or could be applied—to address COVID-19.
  • Are there any lessons learned from the use of epidemiology in the eradication of smallpox and polio that could be applied to COVID-19?
  • Evaluate the benefits of addressing this health problem at the population level versus the individual level. Support your Discussion with information from this week’s Learning Resources and articles you have located in the Walden Library.
