5. What patient education would you include when starting a patient on ace-inhibitor medication? 
6. Johnathan is a 72-year-old Asian male who presents to the clinic for evaluation due to symptoms of dyspnea, wheezing and a productive cough with white, frothy sputum. He is a 1 pack-per-day (PDD) smoker for the last 40 years. 
Vital signs: Temperature 98.0 F, BP 135/78, Pulse 88, R 22, Oxygen Saturation: 91% on Room Air. His postbronchodilator pulmonary function test today revealed FEV1/FVC at 55% of the predicted value. 
Is there enough information given for Johnathan to be diagnosed with COPD? If not, what is missing? If so, what stage of COPD is Johnathan in? 
What pharmacologic treatment plan would you formulate for Johnathan? 
7. Discuss the first-line pharmacologic management of a patient with COPD. 
8. Discuss the diagnostic criteria needed to make a diagnosis of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). 

Goal 
Choose a trend or phenomenon related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs. The trend or phenomenon should have a definable set of causes and effects. Write a 1,500–1,750-word argument using five to seven academic resources that persuades an audience to accept your explanation of the causes and effects of your chosen trend or phenomenon related to the sale, trade, or donation of human organs.
Directions
Imagine your issue either as a puzzle or as a disagreement. If your issue is like a puzzle that needs to be put together, your task will be to create a convincing case for an audience that does not have an answer to your cause and effect question already in mind. If your issue is like a disagreement that needs to be resolved, your argument must be overtly persuasive because your goal will be to change your audience’s views.
Be sure to examine alternative hypotheses or opposing views and explain your reasons for rejecting them.
This essay is NOT a CASUAL essay. Instead, it is a cause and effect essay. A cause and effect essay explains the causes and effects of a trend or phenomenon involving the sale, trade, or donation of human organs.
Sources
•Include in-text citations and a references page in APA Style for FIVE to SEVEN scholarly sources outside of class texts.

Please write a 300 response to the below discussion prompt. There is no readable case study to go by. Locate articles related to this subject and relate to how someone who didn’t use social marketing could have done it. This will also help answer question #3. 
The staff of the Forthright Medical Center decided to apply a social marketing approach after they met resistance to the surgical checklist, a successful intervention to reduce medical errors (Haynes et al., 2009). The Turning Point Social Marketing National Excellence Collaborative, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, had created a series of social marketing resources for applying social marketing principles to public health initiatives. While designed with health behavior interventions in mind, the concept seemed adaptable to healthcare processes such as changing operating-room procedures to decrease surgical errors.
Forum Questions:
1.Review the literature on the surgical checklist.
2.  What have been its benefits and what are some of the reasons some providers have resisted it?
3. What alternatives were tried to stimulate its acceptance? Did they seem more likely to be effective than Janet’s social marketing idea? Why?

please answer ONLY ONE question from the 3 question options. ONLY ONE QUESTION and please state in your responce which questuon you chose. 

This assessment consists of three parts.
Data Presentation 
In this part of the assessment, you will apply the selected tool to the problem and produce a minimum of two visual data displays (charts, graphs, et cetera). Examples of tools you might include are:
Cost Benefit Analysis: Excel spreadsheet, converted into 2–3 worksheet tabs, graphs, or other visual display format.
Compliance Assessment: 3 major criteria converted into 3 separate pie charts or other graphic display format.
Lean Analysis: The percent of variance by major factor converted into 2–3 trend lines.
Note: At a minimum, provide a cost benefit analysis of the recommendation. 
Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Data
In this part of the assessment you will analyze the collected data relative to benchmarks. Provide discussion as to whether the selected benchmarks are internal to the organization, external industry benchmarks, or a combination. Be sure to include a short summary of observations. Note: If the problem requires an additional tool, such as a compliance audit tool, you may include more than one discussion of the results. 
Evidence-Based Recommendations
In this final part of the assessment, provide evidence-based recommendations that will help to address the identified problem. Be sure to support your recommendations with references to current, scholarly, and/or authoritative sources. Also, include an explanation as to why the recommendations are feasible for this particular organization. For example, one recommendation might be to offer a new service line.  Even though the new service may not generate an immediate profit, it might serve to draw additional patients into the network.
Tips 
Assessment 3: Data Collection and Analysis
Open your paper with an introduction that previews the paper: offer a summary of the purpose of your project and your recommendations.
Do not place any graphs before the introduction.
Identify at least two specific data analysis tools that you will use to analyze and present data.
The data collection and analysis tools that you use should be ones that are “recognized” and used within the industry. You are expected to use charts, graphs, process maps, etc.
Explain why you selected those tools.
The key to justifying the recommended tool(s) is to offer cogent evidence, such as precedents, from research published in scholarly and/or professional journals.
You must create your own data visualizations. Do NOT copy-paste graphs, charts, etc. from external sources.
Embed graphs, charts, etc. in your paper – do not provide these in a separate file.
For data presentation, provide appropriate visualizations of the data. Explain why you selected the tools and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the tools. Be sure to explain what the data tells us and discuss the implications.
Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a tool that you can use – but you are not required to.
A CBA is an in-depth analysis of all costs and benefits. If you choose to provide a CBA be sure to provide a narrative that explains the source of your data.
Be sure to properly label all graphs. The title must include the name of the organization, the type of data, and date range. Here is a simple example:
George Community Hospital
Inpatient CHF Readmissions by Month
2022 – 2023
This paper is expected to provide the actual data, both from a specific organization or geographic area (i.e., internal), as well as the benchmark data (i.e., external), and then offer an assessment / analysis of the data.
Your data and analysis are expected to identify the causes of the problem. Just having data about the problem does not offer any insight into the causes. Without identifying the cause, you can’t fix the problem.
Your analysis of the internal data compared to external benchmarks and best practices should lead you to develop pragmatic recommendations.
You are expected to identify evidenced-based solutions that will “fix” the causes of the problem. Avoid offering generic solutions that are not related to the causes. Healthcare organizations have very limited resources – so recommending actions that will not fix the problem will waste their resources.
Be sure to offer evidence (data from research published in scholarly / peer-reviewed journals) that shows that the solutions are effective and efficient; i.e., the solutions are proven to work.
The recommendations must be sensitive to organization context and constraints – be sure to assess the feasibility of your recommendations. Do not propose a solution that the organization cannot implement.

Create a descriptive statistics table and histogram for one of the three variables in a data set. Write a 2-3 page recommendation and plan of action in a Word document and insert the table and histogram graphic into this document. Submit both the Word document and the Excel file that shows the descriptive statistics output.
To complete the assessments in this course, you will need to use data analysis software to complete statistical calculations, create graphs, and tabular summaries, and share your results in a Microsoft Word document. You will use Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Excel Analysis ToolPak add-in. Be aware that not all statistical calculations, graphs, and tabular summaries can be completed in this software, so you may need to do some work outside of the software.
The data set contains the following variables:
utilization (average number of patient days per month).
satisfaction (patient satisfaction scores percentile rank).
readmissions (readmission rate per month).
Nursing home administration has the objectives of higher utilization, higher patient satisfaction, and lower readmissions. Select one of the three variables to analyze to create a plan of action for improvement. Provide a rationale for your selection. Base your analysis on average performance over the past 70 months.

Content
Describe a “real life” instance of your selected social issue in a professional or a personal setting.
Discuss your perspective on your selected social issue, including the reasons for your viewpoint.
Discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue.
Demonstrate that you are really thinking about your issue—don’t settle for easy answers, don’t pretend that conflicting evidence doesn’t exist, and don’t feel that you have to take an either-or position.
Discuss the complexities of your selected social issue. For example, do not just conclude that using academic language is always good, or that government surveillance is always bad, or that wealth automatically leads to health. Think about the intricacies of these issues and how they play out in everyday life.
Organization
Include an introductory paragraph, where you clearly outline a “real-life” instance of your social issue and you give a thesis statement that indicates your perspective (see learning resource: Writing Your Introduction for an example).
Include 3-5 body paragraphs where you include details, examples, and quotes from at least three of the course readings and two additional readings to help you develop and support your key points (see learning resource: Writing Your Body Paragraphs for an example). 
Include one body paragraph where you discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue (see learning resource: Writing Your Body Paragraphs for an example).
End your essay with a concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis, summarize your key points, and leave the reader with the “so what?” (see learning resource: Writing Your Conclusion for an example).
Language Choices
As a writer, you are free to decide how you use language, keeping the following in mind:
style: your language choices should result in a consistent writing style that is purposeful and aligned with your goals
readability: your language choices should ensure that your ideas are clear and easy to follow
When composing your paper, think about the conventions for academic writing, including:
punctuation: this includes things such as recommended use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
word-level accuracy: this includes things such as capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
Take time to review your language choices after you’ve written your essay. Think about your goals for the style of this essay and your own writing habits (like using “text-speak,” omitting capitalization, or writing sentence fragments). Revise as necessary to accomplish your style and readability goals.
Reading your paper aloud is helpful technique when reviewing your language choices for style and readability.
