Goal:
Identify, describe, and assess a clinical issue that to be addressed in your Quality Improvement Project.
Content Requirements:
Identify the clinical issue that will be the focus of your Quality Improvement project.
Provide rationale for the need to change the status quo.
Identify best practices from the literature related to the issues.

Download and read this information. Discuss with your classmates these different types of parenting skills. One initial post (300 words) and one response (200 words) for grading purposes.

For your signature assignment, compose a 3- to 4-page case analysis (in addition to a title page, abstract, and reference list page) written in APA Style citing at least 3 references with one non-Internet reference. The following should be covered in the paper:
Title Page: Case Title, Full Name, Section, Date, Instructor, and Campus
Abstract: Summarize the case o One non-indented paragraph on a separate page. This will be page 2.
Introduction: The physiological importance of the liver, pancreas, and kidneys for the proper functioning of the human body
Body: Response to the prompts: Organize your analysis with headings that thoroughly answer the prompts (e.g., “Abnormal Glucose Levels” for question 1). Explain each prompt in depth with physiological concepts and provide sufficient evidence from the literature for each prompt. o Include normal physiological ranges (if it applies).
Maintain the order of questions when answering.
Conclusion: Summarize the paper in a paragraph.
Support your opinions with evidence from your readings and research. Review the rubric for complete grading criteria.
CASE: END-STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cynthia, a 53-year-old female presented to the emergency room due to feeling constantly tired, hungry, thirsty, and with frequent urination. Her past medical history is significant for cirrhosis and end-stage kidney disease. Physical examination had revealed yellowish discoloration to the skin, multiple bruises, bilateral edema, and weakness lasting more than three weeks. Laboratory tests were ordered (results provided below) after which she was prescribed metformin and informed to contact a doctor if she starts experiencing nausea, vomiting, fast breathing, and/or lethargy, as metformin has been known to cause metabolic acidosis.

Answer the following questions regarding Cynthia’s case:
What hormone is not functioning properly causing Cynthia’s glucose levels to be abnormal? Furthermore, explain in depth how this hormone regulates blood glucose levels.
What other hormone(s) are responsible for maintaining normal glucose levels? Explain in depth how they work.
Explain why Cynthia is presenting with excessive thirst (polydipsia), tiredness and hunger (polyphagia), and frequent urination (polyuria).
Explain why Cynthia is experiencing hypotension. How does the body and its various organ systems bring the blood pressure back towards homeostasis?
What do you expect Cynthia’s heart rate and end-diastolic volume (EDV) to be (elevated, normal, or low) and justify your expectation with cardiovascular formulas such as cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV).
What is the importance of iron in the body and the consequence of it being 40 mcg/dL?
Explain in detail what gluconeogenesis is and where in the body it occurs? Knowing that gluconeogenesis helps maintain blood glucose level, what is the effect of metformin on the management of diabetes mellitus type 2?
Looking at Cynthia’s albumin levels, what effect does it have on her (a) blood osmolarity (b) glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and (c) urine volume?
Explain how glucose is normally reabsorbed by the kidneys? What is happening in Cynthia’s kidneys resulting in glucosuria and what effect does glucosuria have on her blood pressure?
If Cynthia ends up developing metabolic acidosis, what would the levels of her pH, CO2, and HCO3 be in the blood? Furthermore, how would the body compensate and address both renal and respiratory compensation (optional: show the compensation via a flow chart)?

I just need the outline for this paper by next week and the rest I will needed in few weeks. 
All students are required to submit a scholarly paper on a health
topic related to the aging adult
with an emphasis on population health. The paper should detail the disease
process (pathophysiology), epidemiology, diagnostic measures (including pertinent
lab test) diagnosis (including differential diagnoses) evaluation, management
(including pharmacology) and the role of the nurse practitioner in the
management of this patient utilizing the Shuler framework. The paper must be in
APA format (current 7th edition) with all the references and
bibliography in correct format. Please see the Grading Rubric in Blackboard. The paper must be at least 10 pages long
excluding the references and bibliography.
