Musculoskeletal Pain

Discussion: Assessing Musculoskeletal Pain

Photo Credit: Getty Images/Fotosearch RF

The body is constantly sending signals about its health. One of the most easily recognized signals is pain. Musculoskeletal conditions comprise one of the leading causes of severe long-term pain in patients. The musculoskeletal system is an elaborate system of interconnected levers that provides the body with support and mobility. Because of the interconnectedness of the musculoskeletal system, identifying the causes of pain can be challenging. Accurately interpreting the cause of musculoskeletal pain requires an assessment process informed by patient history and physical exams.

In this Discussion, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

To prepare:

  • By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to one of the following specific case studies for this Discussion. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
  • Your Discussion post should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP notes have specific data included in every patient case.
  • Review the following case studies:

Case 1: Back Pain

A 42-year-old male reports pain in his lower back for the past month. The pain sometimes radiates to his left leg. In determining the cause of the back pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy, what nerve roots might be involved? How would you test for each of them? What other symptoms need to be explored? What are your differential diagnoses for acute low back pain? Consider the possible origins using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guidelines as a framework. What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you perform?

This week there are 3 case studies…all musculoskeletal issues. My favorite assessment!! You will be creating a SOAP note with differentials. Be sure to follow the rubric…each case study will have you implement some evidence based resources to make your diagnostic decisions. Be sure to utilize these in your rationale for what testing you would need to do. The assignments for this week are as follows:

 

Medical Performance Measure

 Medical Performance Measure

Since P4P has been around for a number of years, one would think that its effectiveness should be clearly documented. However, Peter Kongstvedt says that results have been mixed. He concludes that “positive results remain ambiguous, at least on a broad basis.”

Review various P4P program results and effectiveness on the Internet or through your college’s Online Library, which you can access in the Resources tab.

Write a 2-page report of your findings. Specifically, address strengths and weaknesses of this compensation method, both from the point of view of the health plan and the physician. Cite at least two sources. List sources in APA format.

Virtual Environment Duration Spent Playing World of Warcraft

/in /by

Virtual Environment

A virtual environment is an online environment where things can be posted, participated in, and manipulated by the users. Virtual environments encompass things like virtual reality, multi-user games, shared communities or similar. When you complete this week’s assignment, think about what virtual environments you spend time in. Below are some links to examples of virtual reality environments.

Oculus Rift: Next generation virtual reality

HoloLens: Holographic computer that allows you to interact with hologram

Active Worlds: Users create their own worlds and custom 3D content

Write a 2- to 3-page paper in APA format that describes the pros and cons of this type of environment. Make sure to include the following information within your paper.

1.Describe what virtual environments you use (e.g., World of Warcraft, fantasy football, Second Life).

2.Share how long you spend in these environments. Fun fact: The average American spends nearly eight hours a day staring at screens (computer, phone, TV, etc.).

3.Is new virtual reality technology, such as Oculus Rift, the same as an environment such as Fantasy Football or Facebook? Why or why not?

4.How might you apply the functionalism theory to explain the virtual environment experience for someone with social anxiety issues?

5.Include how each of the perspectives explains the concept of virtual reality/environments. Try to view the problem from each perspective by asking the kinds of questions a theorist would ask if they were a functionalist, conflict theorist, or symbolic interactionist. For this this assignment, you could ask yourself:

oWhat is the function of virtual reality/environment? What role does this play in our culture? (Functionalism)

oWhat conflicts arise because of virtual reality/environments? How do you feel about the technology gap? Is there inequality present? (Conflict theory)

oWhat does virtual reality/environment mean to us as a society? When we interact on the Internet, explore virtual environments, and make connections online, what do these relationships mean? (Symbolic interactionism)

Environmental Plan to Reduce Risks for Pandemics

Ethics in a Pandemic World – Week 6 Assignment 2

Whose World Is It?

The world itself creates an ethical dilemma in that the earth has been piecemealed up and sold (rarely to the original population), yet what happens to the earth impacts all residents. If third-world countries destroy the rain forest, it impacts all of us. If industrialized populations create global warming, it impacts all of us, although the poorest populations tend to be the most impacted. This creates an ethical dilemma in which those who do not own or live in an area attempt to exert control or influence over what occurs there.

Chapter 16 explores many of these environmental issues at length. Some may increase the risks of pandemics. Poverty, overcrowding, lack of vaccinations, nutrition, and healthcare, often combine with poor sanitation practices and polluted water. These conditions make outbreaks of infectious disease more frequent and serious. The poor bear the brunt of the lack of distributive and economic justice.

Other countries may indeed feel they have a legal interest in environmental issues such as the Asian animal or ‘wet markets’ (which flows into chapter 17 Animal Ethics) we introduced earlier in the course. Many of these markets use illegally obtained wild animals. Contact with these animals can provide an opportunity for pathogenic (disease-causing) organisms to jump from wild animal to humans. It is controversial whether this occurred in the 2020 Pandemic, however, it has happened in the recent past with outbreaks such as Ebola (bats), SARS (bats to civets to humans), Zika(nonhuman primates) and MERS (bats to camels to humans). (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/snakes-probably-not-source-spread-new-coronavirus-outbreak-china).

Consider an ethical environmental pandemic plan.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

Outline an environmental plan to decrease the risk of pandemics

Include the ethical principle(s) you base your plan on

Include human rights (if any) your plan may infringe upon

Does your plan lean more utilitarian or deontology

Ethics in a Pandemic World – Week 6 Assignment 1

Distributive Justice

Review this week’s lecture (excerpted below) and the ethical principles that support distributive justice.

Consider our explorations of discrimination, inequality, and economic justice. We have seen that the rich can simply flee the pandemic. We have seen that the poorest, the most vulnerable, are not only left behind in the most dangerous conditions (small, confined spaces, limited access to healthcare) they are often the ones considered ‘essential workers’, expected to go to work in the poorest-paid positions, yet put their lives and their families lives at the most risk. This is not a ‘bash the wealthy’ view, this is the reality in a pandemic world. Minimum wage workers are not allowed to shelter in place, lock out the virus, zoom to work. They are expected to stock the grocery shelves, check out the register, care for the sick, deliver the packages, cut the meat. Already living from paycheck to paycheck they are hardly in a position to quit their jobs.

You may be one of the essential workers. You may know an essential worker.

Express your feelings about the current state of distributive justice in a pandemic world.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

Define distributive justice

If you are not an “essential worker” interview one.

Summarize the “essential workers” feelings about being in this category. Is the biggest risk being born by those who have the fewest resources?

Include your thoughts about the lack of personal protective equipment

Do you feel essential workers should receive hazard pay?

Cite any references used. Use proper grammar, sentence structure, and spelling at all times. Use your own words. Copying and pasting is not allowed.
