Assignment: Off-Label Drug Use in Pediatrics,NURS 6521: Advanced Pharmacology

/in /by

 

The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable, since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children.

When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

Children even respond differently during stages from infancy to adolescence. This poses potential safety concerns when prescribing drugs to pediatric patients. As an advanced practice nurse, you have to be aware of safety implications of the off-label use of drugs with this patient group.

To Prepare
  • Review the interactive media piece in this week’s Resources and reflect on the types of drugs used to treat pediatric patients with mood disorders.
  • Reflect on situations in which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use.
  • Think about strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Consider specific off-label drugs that you think require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.
By Day 5 of Week 11

Write a 1-page narrative in APA format that addresses the following:

  • Explain the circumstances under which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Include descriptions and names of off-label drugs that require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.

Reminder: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center offers an example of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

My Immunity to Change Map and Development Plan

/in /by

 

Overview

Using your Immunity to Change Map, you will construct a development plan for successfully managing a personal change in the workplace. For example, you may be thinking about becoming more planful or reflective by reserving some time each week just to think. Consider what is keeping you from implementing this change; What are the barriers present in the organization that inhibit you from making the change, and what are the competing priorities?

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

  • Assess the complex and dynamic nature of organizational change.
  • Analyze ways in which leaders and managers can effectively initiate, shape, and support organizational change.
  • Communicate effectively in a professional manner.

Preparation

If you have not already done so, complete the Immunity to Change Map. Use the Capella University Library to find one other resource that addresses committing to and implementing a personal change in the workplace.

Assignment Description

Using the questions and steps outlined in “The Real Reason People Won’t Change,” by Kegan and Lahy, the principles discussed in the Kegan video in the studies, and the Immunity to Change Map linked in the Resources, construct a map for a personal change you want to commit to. Provide a narrative that includes the background and assumptions on the need and drivers for change and include the following:

  • Describe the personal change to target, competing commitments, and big assumptions.
  • Develop a plan for successfully managing the selected change. Be as specific as you can in how you might work on meeting the goals of your plan.
  • Analyze the drivers for change and anticipated outcomes of successfully implementing the development plan.

Your development plan should be written coherently to support a central idea. Use appropriate APA format, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a business professional.

SOCW 6311 wk 8 Assignment: Drafting a Process Evaluation

SOCW 6311 wk 8 Assignment: Drafting a Process Evaluation

The steps for process evaluation outlined by Bliss and Emshoff (2002) may seem very similar to those for conducting other types of evaluation that you have learned about in this course; in fact, it is the purpose and timing of a process evaluation that most distinguish it from other types of evaluation. A process evaluation is conducted during the implementation of the program to evaluate whether the program has been implemented as intended and how the delivery of a program can be improved. A process evaluation can also be useful in supporting an outcome evaluation by helping to determine the reason behind program outcomes.

There are several reasons for conducting process evaluation throughout the implementation of a program. Chief among them is to compare the program that is being delivered to the original program plan, in order to identify gaps and make improvements. Therefore, documentation from the planning stage may prove useful when planning a process evaluation.

For this Assignment, you either build on the work that you completed in Weeks 6, 7, and 8 related to a support group for caregivers, or on your knowledge about a program with which you are familiar. Review the resource “Workbook for Designing a Process Evaluation”.

Submit a 4- to 5-page plan for a process evaluation. Include the following minimal information:

A description of the key program elements

A description of the strategies that the program uses to produce change

A description of the needs of the target population

An explanation of why a process evaluation is important for the program

A plan for building relationships with the staff and management

Broad questions to be answered by the process evaluation

Specific questions to be answered by the process evaluation

A plan for gathering and analyzing the information

Analytical Paper: Ethics

/in /by

After reading Chapter 2 of the textbook, watch the 2000 feature film “Boiler Room” (written and directed by Ben Younger), which is available on Amazon Prime Video, You Tube, Vudu, iTunes, etc. Plan ahead to ensure you have time to view the film at least once before beginning your paper.

Essay Prompt:  

There are numerous examples of ethically ambiguous practices featured in the film. These practices may include actions, affirmative statements, omissions and/or schemes. Identify and explain one specific ethically ambiguous practice, including a brief description of the parties involved and how the practice worked. Then, utilizing the ethics material discussed in class and Chapter 2 of the textbook, analyze the ethics of the one specific practice you are focusing on. Your analysis should:

(1) Include two of the “Theories of Ethics” (you must choose from Utilitarianism, Deontology, and Justice) and two of the “Ethics Traps” presented in Chapter 2. 

(2) Define and explain the theories and traps you are utilizing.

(3) Apply the theories and traps to analyze the ethics of the one specific practice you are focusing on.

(4) Use specific conversations and evidence from the film to assist in your analysis. 

Your paper must be written in essay format; in other words, it should not be divided into individual answers to the above questions. Your paper must include an introduction and a conclusion, and the bulk of your paper should focus on analysis, not recitation of facts. There is no need to consult sources beyond your textbook, your class notes, and the film itself (outside research is, in fact, discouraged). Your paper must be a minimum of 800 and a maximum of 1200 words, and must be double-spaced, utilizing Times Roman 12-point font and 1 inch margins. In the upper left-hand corner of the first page of your paper, list your name, the course (BSL 212), the date, and the exact word count of your paper. Direct quotes from the film or the textbook must be placed in quotation marks and the source should be noted in parentheses directly after the quote (Boiler Room for the film, and Mann, Roberts, followed by the page number, for the textbook). Failure to comply with these specific instructions will negatively impact your grade, as reflected in the Analytical Paper Grading Rubric posted on Blackboard. Your Analytical Paper must be submitted in Word format on Blackboard under the designated “Assignments” tab no later than the start of class on June 7, 2021.  Please note that the papers will be run through Safe Assignment, which will compare them against the entire Internet and our internal database to help detect plagiarism.  There is no makeup for this Analytical Paper; it is not subject to the quiz make up policy articulated in the course syllabus.

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals

/in /by

Realtors rely on detailed property appraisals—conducted using appraisal tools—to assign market values to houses and other properties. These values are then presented to buyers and sellers to set prices and initiate offers.

Research appraisal is not that different. The critical appraisal process utilizes formal appraisal tools to assess the results of research to determine value to the context at hand. Evidence-based practitioners often present these findings to make the case for specific courses of action.

In this Assignment, you will use an appraisal tool to conduct a critical appraisal of published research. You will then present the results of your efforts.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and the four systematic reviews (or other filtered high- level evidence) you selected in Module 3.
  • Reflect on the four peer-reviewed articles you selected in Module 2 and analyzed in Module 3.
  • Review and download the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template provided in the Resources.

The Assignment (Evidence-Based Project)

Part 3A: Critical Appraisal of Research

Conduct a critical appraisal of the four peer-reviewed articles you selected by completing the Evaluation Table within the Critical Appraisal Tool Worksheet Template. Choose a total of four peer- reviewed articles that you selected related to your clinical topic of interest in Module 2 and Module 3.

Note: You can choose any combination of articles from Modules 2 and 3 for your Critical Appraisal. For example, you may choose two unfiltered research articles from Module 2 and two filtered research articles (systematic reviews) from Module 3 or one article from Module 2 and three articles from Module 3. You can choose any combination of articles from the prior Module Assignments as long as both modules and types of studies are represented.

Part 3B: Critical Appraisal of Research

Based on your appraisal, in a 1-2-page critical appraisal, suggest a best practice that emerges from the research you reviewed. Briefly explain the best practice, justifying your proposal with APA citations of the research.

Submit Part 3A and 3B of your Evidence-Based Project.

This assignment consists of two parts. 

Part One

Your client is interested in how you will structure the website. Before you begin to write the HTML for your pages, it’s a good practice to create a storyboard that outlines your ideas for colors, font sizes, placement of images, hyperlinks, and sections on each page. Your storyboard and file structure should outline your homepage, inside pages, navigational scheme, and where you plan to add your form. This is a high-level design that you will be adjusting and changing throughout the quarter. You do not need to write this in HTML! In fact, it will save you time if you develop your storyboard in Word, PowerPoint, or Visio first, so you can make adjustments based on feedback.

Here are some online resources to help you think through the process:

Part Two

Based on your storyboard, you will begin to create your file structure for your site. It is never a good practice to keep all your files in the same folder.

For example, if you are developing a site that sells clothing for men, women, and children, you might have one folder for all the pages that house men’s clothing, another for women’s clothing, and so on.

You can create this portion in Word, indicating where each of your HTML pages will be located, as shown in Section 2.4: Links in Your Text.

Requirements

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Create a storyboard for a website.
