Different people may also respond to medication therapies differently. For example, some ADHD medications may cause children to experience stomach pain, while others can be highly addictive for adults. In your role, as a psychiatric nurse practitioner, you must perform careful assessments and weigh the risks and benefits of medication therapies for patients across the life span. For this Assignment, you consider how you might assess and treat patients presenting with ADHD.

Do you believe social mobility has decreased or risen in recent years? How could rules, laws, and societal structures impact your future social mobility? What are some strategies for dealing with this future possibility? (USLO 3.2)

Mortality and morbidity rates for infectious diseases vary greatly by geographical location. World Health Organization (WHO) statistics provide striking documentation that deaths due to infectious diseases are much higher in poor countries than in the countries with the highest income levels. It is particularly striking that malaria and tuberculosis are significant causes of death in low-resource countries, whereas these diseases are rarely fatal in wealthy countries. Other infectious diseases that significantly cause death in low-resource countries are pneumonia, diarrhea, and HIV infection. The top ten causes of death in lower and middle-resource countries In lower and middle-resource countries also include lower respiratory infections, tuberculosis, and diarrheal diseases. 
1. Define infection and identify the differences between colonization and infection, giving specific examples of each.
2. How does infection start, and what is the usual course?
3. What factors influence the course of an infection? Give specific examples of different trajectories of infection.

The purpose of this discussion is to teach students to use electronic databases and methodological filters to select the most relevant evidence to answer the clinical questions. A secondary purpose of this assignment is to teach students to format citations according to the American Psychological Association Style Handbook (7th Edition).
Instructions:
For this discussion, you will use the PICO question you generated for the previous discussion: (In adult patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, does the implementation of a structured diabetes self-management education program compared to standard care result in improved glycemic control and reduced risk of complications over a six-month period?) (Use the PICO worksheet attached to this discussion).
Select the most appropriate databases using information from the MDC Library databases.  Explain in a short paragraph why you selected each one.
Find synonyms for Population, Problem, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome. Fill out the list with synonyms. 
Using the advanced search feature, conduct separate searches for each of the above PICO, using “OR” with synonyms. Check for the number of hits for each search and revise as necessary.
Using the search history feature, combine PICO searches, using “And.”
Make note of the number of hits. 
Revise the searches combined, if necessary.
Use methodological filter terms, first for systematic reviews, randomized control trials, cohort studies, etc. Note the number of studies found after applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria).
Limit your searches to five (5) years.
Write a paragraph describing the process ( this is the method section of the literature review). 
Title the discussion with the PICOT question.
