PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING POST:
The nursing profession is characterized by the fusion of nursing knowledge and the formulation of theories. It integrates interconnected ideas to offer a systematic assessment of phenomena. Concepts, models, and evidence-based research are crucial for creating and evaluating health promotion activities. Nursing theories provide a systematic framework that enables comprehensive examination and practical implementation in the field. They offer the fundamental basis and fundamental components required for development and acquisition of knowledge from everyday encounters, resulting in greater clinical decision-making, improved patient care, superior communication, and direction for future educational pursuits (McEwen, M., & Wills, E. M., 2019). 
Theory is an asset in nursing. It serves as an outstanding tool that nurses may use to study and gain insights. The presence of a well-defined structure is of utmost importance in any type of academic study or research. Reading nursing theory articles enhances personal development and stimulates a greater sense of inquisitiveness, especially when they pertain to my own field of expertise, home health. At the beginning, during Week 1, I found the notion to be fairly advantageous. Nevertheless, via the completion of diverse assignments and the exploration of additional reading materials, I have gained a comprehensive comprehension of the profound significance of theory and its extensive involvement in the nursing domain. I express my gratitude to the scholars who devoted their professional lives to formulating these theories and disseminating them inside our esteemed field. 
I have chosen Jean Watson’s caring theory because it highlights a crucial aspect of nursing overall and is particularly relevant to home health patients. This theory invokes a sense of care and empathy to alleviate any distress felt by patients or their families. It fosters healing and solidifies the relationship between nurse and patient as a vital connection.

Hematopoietic:
J.D. is a 37 years old white woman who presents to her gynecologist complaining of a 2-month history of intermenstrual bleeding, menorrhagia, increased urinary frequency, mild incontinence, extreme fatigue, and weakness. Her menstrual period occurs every 28 days and lately there have been 6 days of heavy flow and cramping. She denies abdominal distension, back-ache, and constipation. She has not had her usual energy levels since before her last pregnancy. Past Medical History (PMH):
Upon reviewing her past medical history, the gynecologist notes that her patient is a G5P5with four pregnancies within four years, the last infant having been delivered vaginally four months ago. All five pregnancies were unremarkable and without delivery complications. All infants were born healthy. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of osteoarthritis in the left knee, probably the result of sustaining significant trauma to her knee in an MVA when she was 9 years old. When asked what OTC medications she is currently taking for her pain and for how long she has been taking them, she reveals that she started taking ibuprofen, three tablets each day, about 2.5 years ago for her left knee. Due to a slowly progressive increase in pain and a loss of adequate relief with three tablets, she doubled the daily dose of ibuprofen. Upon the recommendation from her nurse practitioner and because long-term ibuprofen use can cause peptic ulcers, she began taking OTC omeprazole on a regular basis to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of HTN for which she is now being treated with a diuretic and a centrally acting antihypertensive drug. She has had no previous surgeries. Case Study Questions
Name the contributing factors on J.D that might put her at risk to develop iron deficiency anemia.
Within the case study, describe the reasons why J.D. might be presenting constipation and or dehydration.
Why Vitamin B12 and folic acid are important on the erythropoiesis? What abnormalities their deficiency might cause on the red blood cells?
The gynecologist is suspecting that J.D. might be experiencing iron deficiency anemia. In order to support the diagnosis, list and describe the clinical symptoms that J.D. might have positive for Iron deficiency anemia.
If the patient is diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, what do you expect to find as signs of this type of anemia? List and describe.
Labs results came back for the patient. Hb 10.2 g/dL; Hct 30.8%; Ferritin 9 ng/dL; red blood cells are smaller and paler in color than normal. Research list and describe for appropriate recommendations and treatments for J.D.
Cardiovascular Mr. W.G. is a 53-year-old white man who began to experience chest discomfort while playing tennis with a friend. At first, he attributed his discomfort to the heat and having had a large breakfast. Gradually, however, discomfort intensified to a crushing sensation in the sternal area and the pain seemed to spread upward into his neck and lower jaw. The nature of the pain did not seem to change with deep breathing. When Mr. G. complained of feeling nauseated and began rubbing his chest, his tennis partner was concerned that his friend was having a heart attack and called 911 on his cell phone. The patient was transported to the ED of the nearest hospital and arrived within 30 minutes of the onset of chest pain. In route to the hospital, the patient was placed on nasal cannula and an IV D5W was started. Mr. G. received aspirin (325 mg po) and 2 mg/IV morphine. He is allergic to meperidine (rash). His pain has eased slightly in the last 15 minutes but is still significant; was 9/10 in severity; now7/10. In the ED, chest pain was not relieved by 3 SL NTG tablets. He denies chills. Case Study Questions
For patients at risk of developing coronary artery disease and patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarct, describe the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors.
What would you expect to see on Mr. W.G. EKG and which findings described on the case are compatible with the acute coronary event?
Having only the opportunity to choose one laboratory test to confirm the acute myocardial infarct, which would be the most specific laboratory test you would choose and why?
How do you explain that Mr. W.G temperature has increased after his Myocardial Infarct, when that can be observed and for how long? Base your answer on the pathophysiology of the event.
Explain to Mr. W.G. why he was experiencing pain during his Myocardial Infarct. Elaborate and support your answer.

Patient Specific Protocol Assignment – Ordering Schedule II or III controlled substances
The purpose of this activity is to prepare a patient specific protocol (a component of a standardized procedure) for the ordering of Schedule II or II controlled substance.
When Schedule II or III controlled substances, as defined in Section 11055 and 11056 of the Health and Safety Code, are furnished or ordered by a NP (nurse practioner), the controlled substance shall be furnished or ordered in accordance with a patient-specific protocol approved by the treating or supervising physician. The provision for furnishing Schedule II controlled substances shall address the diagnosis of illness, injury, or condition for which the Schedule II controlled substance is to be furnished.
You need to describe your (imaginary )workplace and srite a “patient specific” protocol for the controlled substances you would be likely to prescribe in that practice. eg pediatric,ob-gyn, psych, internal medicine.
****USE A PSYCHIATRIC SCHEDULE II DRUG – LIKE ADDERALL OR RITALIN****
You need to complete the protocol component only, not the policy component. You need to include the diagnoses, formulary and any specific qualifiers, such as the amount of medication .
