Research: Conduct thorough research to gather epidemiological data on your chosen health condition/exposure. Your sources should include peer-reviewed journals, government health statistics, World Health Organization publications, and other reputable sources of epidemiological data.
Table Creation: Create a table that includes the following information:
Incidence and Prevalence Rates: Provide recent statistics on how common the condition is, both in terms of new cases (incidence) and total cases (prevalence) in the population.
Demographics: Describe how the condition affects different groups within the population, such as age, sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.
Risk Factors: List major risk factors associated with the condition, distinguishing between modifiable and non-modifiable factors.
Geographical Distribution: Show the distribution of the condition across different regions or countries, highlighting any notable patterns.
Trends Over Time: Include data on how the incidence or prevalence has changed over time.
Prevention and Control Measures: Discuss existing strategies for prevention and control of the condition.
Submission Requirements:
Format: The table should be clear, well-organized, and easy to read. Use appropriate headings and subheadings.
Documentation of Sources: Provide a reference list for all data sources used in creating your table. Use APA style for citations.
Length: There is no minimum or maximum length, but the table should comprehensively cover the required elements.
Grading Criteria:
Accuracy of Information: All data presented must be accurate and supported by your sources.
Comprehensiveness: The table should provide a useful and easy to update overview of the epidemiology of the condition, covering all required aspects.
Clarity and Organization: The table should be well-structured, making it easy for readers to understand the presented data.
Quality of Sources: Use credible and up-to-date sources for your data. You will NOT be successful

CONCEPT 27: Pain
CASE STUDY Case Presentation
Jenny Alvers is a 38-year-old otherwise healthy female who has been admitted directly to the intensive care unit (ICU) after an automobile accident and emergency abdominal surgery. In addition to surgery, she has deep face, neck, and chest lacerations and contusions. Jenny is on a ventilator and somewhat disoriented and restless with elevated blood pressure and heart rate. She is unable to provide a report of pain, but based on her pathologic condition, the nurse assumes that Jenny has pain and consults with the surgeon about orders for a continuous IV opioid infusion. Knowing that Jenny will be subjected to painful procedures such as endotracheal suctioning and wound care during her stay in the ICU, the nurse also requests supplemental IV opioid doses to administer prophylactically. Jenny’s sister reported that Jenny has no allergies but experienced severe nausea when she was given IV morphine following an appendectomy 3 years ago. The surgeon prescribes an IV infusion of hydromorphone at a dosage appropriate for an adult with moderate to severe pain and supplemental IV hydromorphone bolus doses every hour as needed. Scheduled doses of IV acetaminophen and IV ibuprofen are also ordered. The nurse suspects that Jenny’s restlessness could be related to unrelieved pain and, therefore, administers an IV hydromorphone loading dose before initiating the infusion. Infusions of IV ibuprofen followed by IV acetaminophen are also administered. An aqua pad circulating cool water is placed over Jenny’s chest to provide additional analgesia. The nurse reduces the external stimuli in the room as much as possible and provides Jenny with calm reassurance and orientation while caring for her. Within 45 minutes of these interventions, Jenny is no longer restless, her vital signs are within normal limits and stable, and she appears to be resting comfortably.
Case Analysis Questions
1. What factors place Jenny at high risk for inadequate pain relief?
2. What methods should be used now, and in the future, to assess Jenny’s pain?
3. What type of pain is Jenny most likely experiencing? How does this information affect treatment decisions?

course objectives in a curriculum. Provide support from the literature,
including current evidence, theory, professional, regulatory, and accreditation
standards.
Discuss
the congruence of the mission and philosophy of Nova Southeastern University

Consider the following hypothetical teaching sessions you have been asked to undertake:
1. 100 first year nursing students (Adult, MW, MH) in a lecture theatre. The face to face lecture is for 2 hours on an area of your expertise.
2. A 3 -hour half day workshop on your area of expertise with 16 participants – a variety of health care staff (2 medics, Senior nurses, AHPs, University staff, Colleagues)
3. 3 nurses on internship who have asked if you could provide an hour’s session on your area of expertise in the coffee room.
Who, where?
Consider the context including commonalities and differences of each of the above teaching sessions: the participants, demographics, setting, time, focus, your expertise, skills etc.
What?
What learning theories may be relevant and what would be your teaching philosophy? Consider carefully what you would include in your content and therefore your learning outcomes and lesson plan.
How (in what way and) Why?
What teaching strategies would you consider in each session and why? Link the context, setting, participants and content to your chosen approach and lesson plan (including briefly, possible assessment and evaluation).
Compare and contrast the 3 scenarios outlining commonalities and differences and how these impact upon your approach. Please use evidence-based literature and your experience to support your discussion.
Some important points:
 Please ensure you define/outline your area of expertise for the reader.
 Please keep in mind ‘constructive alignment’ (Biggs 1996).
 Include and refer appropriately to theories of learning, your own experience and importantly, evidence-based literature.
You may wish to structure your submission as follows:
-Introduction
-Background
-Each of the scenarios in turn
-Discussion: compare and contrast each of the scenarios using theories of learning, experience and literature.
-Conclusion: summarise and provide final conclusions including implications for your learning.
