week 1 post :
How Application of Nursing Theory can Benefit Me personally and Empower/Advance the Nursing Profession as a Whole?
Nursing theories promote career advancement. Justifying the nursing profession and its components demand awareness of nursing theories (Nwozichi et al., 2021). For this reason, the nurse can reflect on and analyze nursing theory concepts to comprehend the theoretical foundations of nursing. Such exploration enables more knowledge and a greater sense of purpose in practice and enhances clinical reasoning skills for nurses.

CASE STUDY TO ELABORATE ON: 
Y.L., a 34-year-old Southern Asian woman, comes to the clinic with complaints of chronic
fatigue, increased thirst, constant hunger, and frequent urination. She denies any pain, burning,
or low-back pain on urination. She tells you she has a vaginal yeast infection that she has treated
numerous times with over-thecounter medication. She works full time as a clerk in a loan
company and states she has difficulty reading numbers and reports, resulting in her making
frequent mistakes. She says, “By the time I get home and make supper for my family, then put
my child to bed, I am too tired to exercise.” She reports her feet hurt; they often “burn or feel
like there are pins in them.” She has a history of gestational diabetes and reports that after her
delivery she went back to her traditional eating pattern, which is high in carbohydrates. In
reviewing Y.L.’s chart, you note she last saw the provider 6 years ago after the delivery of her
last child. She has gained considerable weight; her current weight is 173 pounds. Today her
blood pressure (BP) is 152/97mm Hg, and a random plasma glucose level is 291mg/dL. The
provider suspects that Y.L. has developed type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and orders the
laboratory studies shown in the chart

Perhaps some of the highest stakes documents you’ll create in your professional career will be job application materials. This assignment will give you to opportunity to refine and develop any materials you might already have and practice tailoring those materials to a specific employer and job posting.  
Conduct a job search for openings and find a job you could reasonably see yourself applying to, either now or after you have earned your degree. Feel free to use the job posting you found for this week’s discussion and the research you conducted into the organization. Or choose a new job posting. 
Assemble the following in a single document: 
A screenshot of the job posting and a link to the job posting online.  
A single-page job application letter, formatted according to the guidelines for business correspondence in this week’s reading, and specifically tailored to the job and employer you’ve chosen. 
Your resume, tailored for the job and the employer. (You may adapt this from your existing resume if you have one) 
A 200-word reflection on your job package, addressing the following: 
How did you tailor your application letter and resume to this job and employer? Be specific and detailed in your response.  
How satisfied are you with your two documents? Do you still see any room for improvement?  
What did you find most challenging about this assignment? 
I have attached my resume on here

Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing anxiety, obsessive-compulsive, and trauma- and stressor-related disorders.
Download the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation document. 
By Day 1 of this week, select a specific video case study to use for this Assignment from the Video Case Selections choices in the Learning Resources. View your assigned video case and review the additional data for the case in the “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.
Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.
Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.
Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient.
BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 4
Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate primary diagnosis.
Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?  
Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority.

Week 4 – Assignments (Respiratory Systems)
Case Study Analysis – Due Sunday, June 23rd,  submit a 1-2 page paper. 
Use the following information to formulate your analysis
A 50-year-old white female presents to the emergency room with complaints of increased chest congestion with purulent sputum production for the last 3 days. 
She reports increased dyspnea and using her albuterol inhaler which isn’t helping her symptoms. 
PMH >> The patient reports a history of tobacco use for last 10 years and a history of COPD which was diagnosed last year. 
The patient reports that her primary care provider ordered another medication for the COPD but she couldn’t afford it. 
The patient denies fever.  The patient’s vital signs:  BP 148/90, pulse 108, respirations 22, O2 sat 92%, and temp 98.1F. 
Chest x-ray reveals hyperinflation with flattened diaphragm but is without effusions or infiltrates.
Answer and Analysis these topics
The pulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
How these processes interact to affect the patient. (Some examples of these processes would be the impact on the respiratory or  cardiac systems) 
Evidenced-based journal to assist with the case study include
Journal of Thoracic Disease
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
American Journal of Preventive Cardiology
American Journal of Respiratory
Critical Care Medicine
Answer the questions using APA format – title page, introduction, body of the paper, conclusion, and a Reference page.
Include two scholarly references.
In addition: 
An understanding of the respiratory system is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that oftentimes, the respiratory system works closely with the cardiovascular system.  A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other.
Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact.
An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in the respiratory system is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.
The Assignment
In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following
The pulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
How these processes interact to affect the patient.
