G.J. is a 71-year-old overweight woman who presents to the Family Practice Clinic for the first time complaining of a long history of bilateral knee discomfort that becomes worse when it rains and usually feels better when the weather is warm and dry. “My arthritis hasn’t improved a bit this summer though,” she states. Discomfort in the left knee is greater than in the right knee. She has also suffered from low back pain for many years, but recently it has become worse. She is having difficulty using the stairs in her home. The patient had recently visited a rheumatologist who tried a variety of NSAIDs to help her with pain control. The medications gave her mild relief but also caused significant and intolerable stomach discomfort. Her pain was alleviated with oxycodone. However, when she showed increasing tolerance and began insisting on higher doses of the medication, the physician told her that she may need surgery and that he could not prescribe more oxycodone for her. She is now seeking medical care at the Family Practice Clinic. Her knees started to get significantly more painful after she gained 20 pounds during the past nine months. Her joints are most stiff when she has been sitting or lying for some time and they tend to “loosen up” with activity. The patient has always been worried about osteoporosis because several family members have been diagnosed with the disease. However, nonclinical manifestations of osteoporosis have developed. Case Study Questions Define osteoarthritis and explain the differences with osteoarthrosis. List and analyze the risk factors that are presented on the case that contribute to the diagnosis of osteoarthritis.

there are insufficient resources.
Ongoing: Managing cash flow, funding expansion, and dealing with unforeseen expenses are
common financial challenges.

2. Growth Difficulties:

Startup: Building a customer, being well-known, and expanding your business may be
challenging and take time at beginning.
Ongoing: To sustain expansion, enter new markets, and adapt to changing customer
expectations, resources and strategic planning are required.
3. Challenges Concerning Human Resources:

Startup: Attracting qualified staff, putting together a solid team, and fostering a positive
workplace culture are some of the initial obstacles.
Ongoing: Managing team dynamics, retaining top talent, and ensuring output and worker
happiness are perpetual challenges.
4. The validity and Image:

Startup: Without any prior experience, it can be difficult for new businesses to gain the respect
and confidence of partners, investors, and clients.
Ongoing: Maintaining a positive reputation, dealing with rivals, and adhering to ethical and legal
standards are all concerns related to legitimacy.
5. Challenges with Regulation and Adherence:

Startup: Managing the numerous permits, licenses, and regulations needed to conduct business
legally.
Constant: Complying with ever-changing legal and regulatory frameworks, especially in
industries with strict regulations like banking and healthcare.

instructions

In a 5–7 page written assessment, define the patient, family, or population health problem that will be the focus of your capstone project. Assess the problem from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective. Plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours meeting with a patient, family, or group of your choice to explore the problem and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form.

Introduction:- This assessment lays the foundation for the work that will carry you through your capstone experience and guide the practicum hours needed to complete the work in this course. In addition, it will enable you to do the following:

· Develop a problem statement for a patient, family, or population that’s relevant to your practice.
· Begin building a body of evidence that will inform your approach to your practicum.
· Focus on the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem.

Preparation:- In this assessment, you’ll assess the patient, family, or population health problem that will be the focus of your capstone project. Plan to spend approximately 2 hours working with a patient, family, or group of your choice to explore the problem from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective. During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts about the problem (for example, directors of quality or patient safety, nurse managers/directors, physicians, and epidemiologists).

To prepare for the assessment, complete the following:
· Identify the patient, family, or group you want to work with during your practicum. The patient you select can be a friend or a family member. You’ll work with this patient, family, or group throughout your capstone project, focusing on a specific health care problem.
· Begin surveying the scholarly and professional literature to establish your evidence and research base, inform your assessment, and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.

Context:- Nurses in all professional roles work to effect positive patient outcomes and improve organizational processes. Professional nurses are leaders in problem identification, planning, and strategy implementation—skills that directly affect patient care or organizational effectiveness.

Too often, change agents jump to a conclusion that an intervention will promote the envisioned improvement. Instead, the ideal approach is to determine which interventions are appropriate, based on an assessment and review of credible evidence. Interventions could be patient-facing or involve a change in policy and process. In this assessment, you’ll identify and make the case for your practicum focus area, then explore it in depth from a leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy perspective.

Competencies Measured: By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:

· Competency 1: Lead people and processes to improve patient, systems, and population outcomes.
· Define a patient, family, or population health problem that’s relevant to personal and professional practice.
· Competency 2: Make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence.
· Analyze evidence from peer-reviewed literature and professional sources that describes and guides nursing actions related to a defined patient, family, or population problem.
· Competency 5: Analyze the impact of health policy on quality and cost of care.
· Explain how state board nursing practice standards and/or organizational or governmental policies could affect a defined patient, family, or population problem.
· Competency 7: Implement patient-centered care to improve quality of care and the patient experience.
· Propose leadership strategies to improve outcomes, patient-centered care, and the patient experience related to a defined patient, family, or population problem and document the practicum hours spent with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form.
