Assignment: Assessing the Abdomen
A woman went to the emergency room for severe abdominal cramping. She was diagnosed with diverticulitis; however, as a precaution, the doctor ordered a CT scan. The CT scan revealed a growth on the pancreas, which turned out to be pancreatic cancer?the real cause of the cramping.
Because of a high potential for misdiagnosis, determining the precise cause of abdominal pain can be time consuming and challenging. By analyzing case studies of abnormal abdominal findings, nurses can prepare themselves to better diagnose conditions in the abdomen.
In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions
To Prepare
Review the Episodic note case study your instructor provides you for this week?s Assignment.ÿ
ú With regard to the Episodic note case study provided:
o Review this week?s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.
o Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study.
o Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient?s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
o Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
The Assignment
1. Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
2. Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
3. Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or why not?
4. What diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
5. Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.

Reference all 3 different Subdomains, at least 2 Goals from each subdomain, and at least 2 Developmental Indicators from each goal from Language Development and Communication (LDC) in North Carolina Foundations for Early Learning and Development that support each of your books.ÿ
The activities MUST be developmentally appropriate and encourage active exploration of materials and ideas. For the most part, the children should be able to do the activity with minimal guidance from their teachers, although teachers should interact with children, asking questions to encourage exploration, curiosity, problem solving, language development and deeper thinking. Dittos/coloring sheets, flash cards, product oriented projects, etc. will not be considered developmentally appropriate activities. The activities should be open-ended, encourage exploration, discovery, creativity and allow the children to build their own knowledge. These should also be planned for individual or small groups of children.

ú At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson?s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.
ú Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
ú For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.ÿ
A 27-year-old patient history of substance abuse is found unresponsive by emergency medical services (EMS) after being called by the patient?s roommate. The roommate states that he does not know how long the patient had been lying there. Patient received naloxone in the field and has become responsive. He complains of burning pain over his left hip and forearm. Evaluation in the ED revealed a large amount of necrotic tissue over the greater trochanter as well as the forearm. EKG demonstrated prolonged PR interval and peaked T waves. Serum potassium level 6.9 mEq/L.
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
ú Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
ú The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
ú The cells that are involved in this process.
ú How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

Annotated bibliography on a history civilization

Annotated Bibliography
An Annotated Bibliography is a set of sources brief summary. The student will be required to find five sources, at least one primary, about a civilization of their choosing from the previous weeks? material. ÿPlease see the assignment section for more details on what is required.
Instructions.
1) The student will pick a civilization that was covered in week 1 ? week 3.
2) The student will search for four academic secondary sources on this civilization.
An academic source is a trustworthy source that is not open author. Wikipedia is an example of an open author source, where the author cannot be verified. For this reason, Wikipedia could not be used as an academic source.ÿ Encyclopedias, even closed author, are usually not included as an academic source because they are too general. For this reason, the sources that a student chooses must not be an encyclopedia or a dictionary. Journal articles and books are the best sources here, but there are some academically acceptable websites. Websites take some verification though, you must make sure the author or creator is listed, so that you can verify that they are an expert on the subject.
If a multiple websites are chosen, they must be from different domain names entirely.ÿ IE:ÿ If a student ÿused www.charlesI.com,ÿ even if a specific section on wars, they could not use another section of the website www.charlesI.com.

A primary source is original contemporary material from the civilization you have chosen. An example of this would be a treatise from one of the civilization?s philosophers, a letter from the king of that civilization, a poem or even a work of art from the civilization.ÿ
4) The student will create a proper APA formatted reference line for this source.

It is not expected that students read whole books on a subject, but they should find book reviews, abstracts, or quickly analyze the book to give a brief summary. ÿFor websites, a comprehensive description of all aspects of that website should be written. Always cite the home page for the website, not individual pages within the overall website.ÿ
