TO PREPARE
Refer to the “Population-Focused Nurse Practitioner Competencies” in the Learning Resources, and consider the quality measures or indicators advanced practice nurses must possess in your specialty.
Refer to your “Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form” you submitted in Week 1 and consider your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Refer to your Patient Log in Meditrek; consider the patient activities you have experienced in your practicum experience and reflect on your observations and experiences.
In 450–500 words, address the following:
Learning From Experiences
Revisit the goals and objectives from your Practicum Experience Plan. Explain the degree to which you achieved each during the practicum experience.
Reflect on the 3 most challenging patients you encountered during the practicum experience. What was most challenging about each? 
What did you learn from this experience? 
What resources were available?
What evidence-based practice did you use for the patients?
What would you do differently? 
How are you managing patient flow and volume?  How can you apply your growing skillset to be a social change agent within your community?
Communicating and Feedback
Reflect on how you might improve your skills and knowledge and how to communicate those efforts to your Preceptor.
Answer these questions: How am I doing? What is missing? 
Reflect on the formal and informal feedback you received from your Preceptor. 

 ase Study: Bobby, a 13-year-old male, was hospitalized following a perforated appendix that required surgery. Bobby has an open wound requiring dressing changes twice daily. He is currently on contact precautions for a methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. The estimated date of discharge is five-to-ten-days post-op and will include long-term antibiotics and wound care. The nurse notes on the assessment- Previously Bobby was talkative and related his enthusiasm for school and upcoming science competitions. However, today, he was withdrawn and stated, “I’m just tired”. What are the impacts when an adolescent is separated from their peer group? How should the nurse arrange for visitation and playtime during Bobbys hospitalization and isolation?

Read both “The Tethered Self: Technology Reivents Intimacy and Solitude” by Sherry Turkle & “Keep Your Thumbs Still When I’m Talking to You” by David Carr. You will briefly summarize two sources speaking to the topic and “weigh in” with your own opinion, supporting it by analyzing the texts and by drawing upon your experience or other outside knowledge you have.

Can you create a video or take photos of the physics phenomena in action?Here’s some starting points: What car do you drive? What’s the physics behind it? Electric cars, how do they work? Do you have a video or photo you took to upload? How about the physics of racing? Formula 1? Nascar? An electric scooter? Rubric:Scientific Abstract: Can you describe in a few sentences the overall physics concept or phenomena at the foundation of your chosen medium of transportation? Please use a scientific writing style.Imagine you were writing this for a Scientific Abstract to be used in a scientific publication or for a public presentation at a scientific conference. Keep it under 200 words and break it down as Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Try your best, and enjoy this process as it may turn out to be a useful professional skill in your career. Physics Equations: Which equations covered in our physics course (in the chapters we covered) applies to your favorite medium of transportation?  Do not include equations, formulas or concepts not included in our physics course. Provide examples by creating a physics problem in the same scientific style as the problems at the end of each Chapter in your ebook, or like in the Video Tutor.  Solve your original creative new Physics Problem step-by-step with units of measurement consistency, framed final answer, and include a drawing or diagram.

Many of our upcoming Discussions about American History before 1877 connect to the themes and plot lines of famous films produced by Hollywood. For this Discussion, you need to find a film that focuses on an actual historical event rather than simply being set in the past.
For this informal discussion, you are welcome to use some of the more popular websites and online sources that we would normally stay away from. In this regard, you can pursue imdb.com and other websites as you formulate your post.
For this discussion:
1. Find an historical film that covers a period in history relevant to this course, before 1877.
2. Briefly describe its plot and/or famous scenes and/or actors/actresses.
3. And finally, in what ways did the film accurately/inaccurately depict the past.
