Sam was diagnosed with diaper Candida, which is more commonly known as a yeast infection from diaper rash. Diaper rash is characterized by redness and irritation in the diaper area which can cause pain and discomfort for the infant (Montoya, 2008). The diaper rashes on genitals of infants can be caused from the wet diaper and in situations in which the preventative diaper creams did not work. The location of the area, the warmth, and moisture create a prime area for fungi to grow. The rash can worsen even with the use of over-the-counter antibiotic creams such as the one the Ms. Jones was using on Sam. In this case, Sam was prescribed topical Clotrimazole (Lotrimin) to be used TID for 4 days to the diaper area. According to Kyle & Dahl (2004), topical pharmacologic agents such as creams, lotions, or sprays are applied to the skin over the affected area in which they penetrate the stratum corneum to kill the fungi or at least intervening and preventing the fungi from being able to grow or divide. Specifically, -azole’s such as Clotrimazole, limit the fungal growth but depend on the turnover of skin shedding to rid the fungus from the skin (Kyle & Dahl, 2004). The mechanism of action of Clotrimazole and fungicidal agents alike, allow penetration of the stratum corneum where further growth is inhibited and the replication.

           In developing a teaching plan for Ms. Jones and Sam, the provider should suggest things such as keeping the diaper area as dry as possible. Although impossible to keep completely dry at all times while the rash is healing, Ms. Jones should be instructed to change the diapers frequently. In addition to changing the diapers often, Ms. Jones can also try leaving Sam without a diaper for a few minutes throughout the day if that is a possibility. In doing so, the skin can breathe and stay dry. When changing Sam’s diaper, Ms. Jones should be instructed to pat the area clean and allow to dry prior to placing antibiotic or clean diaper. The skin should not be rubbed as it can cause open sores or hurt the baby. Ms. Jones should also be informed of using the antibiotic as prescribed in order to preventing worsening of the rash, and she should be aware to notify the provider if the infant begins to have a fever or rash worsens. Since diaper rash is more common in babies that have begun to east solid foods, it would be a good suggestion to stay away from acidic foods that might make the urine more acidic. Completely stopping solids and only giving breast milk or formula is also a great option.

              It is difficult to treat diaper Candida as the moisture and location make it difficult to keep dry. Since it is also painful it can cause stress to parents as the baby can be uncomfortable and become fussy. Parents such as Ms. Jones should be informed that it can take some time for the rash to completely go away even with the use of the anti-fungal creams.

Course Description: Managing Information Systems explores the relationship between hardware, software, systems, and humans in the organizational context. 

Using the Library Information Resource Network (LIRN), JSTOR, or any other electronic journal database, research six (6) peer-reviewed articles that can be used to answer your upcoming CLA 1 assignment. Your discussion should summarize the articles in such a way that it can justify any arguments you may present in your CLA 1 assignment and should be different from the abstract. In addition to your researched peer-reviewed article, you must include an example of the article researched as it is applied by industry (company, business entity, and so forth).

Please note: This article summary should not be the only article researched for your CLA 1 assignment. You may (and should) have several other articles researched to fully answer your CLA 1 assignment. The concept of this DQ is to allow students to be proactive in the research necessary to complete this assignment. You may use your article summary, partially or in its entirety in your CLA 1 assignment.

Important: Please ensure that your reference for the article is in correct APA format, as your reference in your discussion post. Depending on which electronic database you use, you should see a “Cite” selection for your article. In addition, there should be a variety of articles summarized and as such, students should have different articles summarized. Your summary MUST include ALL of the following in your DQ post (include every item in the bullet list below, or you will not receive full credit):

Do these in order:

Part 1

• In correct APA format, write the Reference of the article.
• Clearly state what the article is about and its purpose.
• Describe how you will use it in your upcoming assignment.
• Include the article “Abstract” in your posting (your summary should be original).
• Repeat for a total of six (6) peer-reviewed sources.

Part 2

Prepare 4-6 pages APA format including the following:

1. Discuss competitive analysis by examining one to two competitors to your product or service. Identify the direct competition to your product or service and analyze their strategies, objectives, strengths, and weaknesses.
2. Conduct a competitive analysis on both the industry and market of your chosen product or service. 
3. Discuss porter five forces and competitive profile matrix as it relates to your product
4. Prepare a marketing strategy based on the elements of the 7 P’s used in your chosen product or service. The marketing mix is the 7 Ps (product, place, price, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence) and each element should be addressed in the report. 

Use sources in addition to your textbook, and provide citations.  For example, reference The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and other major news/business publications that contain articles about your chosen product or service.  Please make use of other business books and sources that deal specifically with your product, industry or market segment.  Additionally, www.census.gov is a great resource for demographic information.

Remember, you must have at least six (6) peer-reviewed sources plus the textbook

“He never learned to speak more than a few words, but he developed some sensitivity to sounds and mastered table manners and polite comportment.” (Douthwaite, 2002, p. 21)

Here, Douthwaite describes historical accounts of a feral child discovered in Germany and taken in to live out his life under the care of “civilized” keepers. Psychologists and neurologists have long devoted attention to cases of “wild children,” those who begin maturation outside of human society, with little or no human contact. Cases involving such children inform understanding of the cognitive processes inherent to language development. https://paperwriters.xyz/uncategorized/consider-how-the-effects-of-environmental-deprivation-compare-to-the-effects-of-deafness-on-the-development-of-language/ Consider how the effects of environmental deprivation compare to the effects of deafness on the development of language. Another influence on language production and comprehension is neurological disruption.  For example, strokes—brain damage due to blockage of blood supply or hemorrhage—have helped to differentiate important sites in the brain, as well as their functional implications.

For this Discussion, consider influences of environmental deprivation, deafness, and neurological disruption on language acquisition, production, and comprehension.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post an explanation of how environmental deprivation, deafness, and neurological disruption (e.g., stroke or brain injury) might influence language acquisition, production, or comprehension. Provide examples for each to support your response.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific scholarly references and resourcesto the Learning Resources.

This part of your research proposal should be roughly 7-9 pages (excluding cover page, references and annex) and

written in paragraphs, report format. All citations and references for this course are to be done in the APA style.
