Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please review the following:

You are also strongly encouraged to review the list of recommended resources, as they may assist you with this discussion forum and the The Difference Between Preliminary Field and Laboratory Testing assignment.

laboratory testing.

For students whose last names begin with

  • A through G:

    • Describe at least three different methods involved in the identification of evidence.
    • Explain;
    • why these identification methods are appropriate for certain evidence but inappropriate for other types.
    •  how the identification methodology might affect laboratory testing.
    •  the requirements for the identification methodology related to admissibility of evidence at trial.
    • Each thread must also address health and safety issues at the scene and in handling evidence (e.g., explosives, drugs, biological, etc.)

      The instructor has the discretion to reassign students to an alternative category to ensure all topics are covered.

      The body of your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from this week’s required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources and properly cite any references. Remember science is objective, not a matter of subjective opinions.

nitiating best practices and effective strategies for innovation begins with highly effective interprofessional communication. One way to begin to establish yourself as a leader is to stay abreast of theories. And evolving strategies and then inviting others to help you realize them at work. Being informed requires the ability to perform and process research.

After investigating several leadership theories. You will have the opportunity to organize your understanding of five examples. By completing a worksheet for future reference. And professional use. This worksheet can serve as a springboard for a catalog of best practices and strategies.

As you learned in NSG/416: Theoretical Development and Conceptual Frameworks. Theory-guided practice improves patient outcomes because of purposeful systematic application. As you grow in the nurse leader role. You will see that the same holds true for theory-guided leadership. This assessment is designed to link leadership theory to practice. And connect your past and current experience to help you grow as a leader.

For this summative assessment, you will compile your own theory reference guide. This guide will help you facilitate interprofessional communications when discussing rationales and plans for changes you believe will improve quality of care and the work environment.

Complete the Leadership Theories in Practice worksheet to create a customized resource that classifies the theories you find relevant. It is a succinct venue for itemizing meaningful and actionable guidance for application in the workplace.

opioid conversion calculators

/in /by

There are hundreds of opioid conversion calculators available online, though they are not all of good quality.  I would like to direct you to one of the opioid conversion calculators that I find to be most useful and evidence based.  Locate http://opioidcalculator.practicalpainmanagement.com/ and evaluate the following case using the calculator as necessary. Discuss your approach to the overall case and results of your calculation.

  • A 79 year old white male is taking hydrocodone/APAP 10/325 for lower back pain (pt diagnosed with degenerative disc disease several months ago). The physician had written a prescription for Vicodin® 10/325  i-ii Q4-6h prn pain with a quantity of 120.  Her expectation was that this would last the patient for one month.  The patient is now requesting refills about every 10-14 days.  He states he has been taking 2 tabs Q4h (12 tablets per day) because “the pain is so bad I just can’t stand it!”.
    • What is the problem with the way the patient is taking this medication versus the way it was prescribed
    • Based on your assessment, it is determined this patient should be converted to extended release morphine for better, more consistent pain control. Perform this conversion and provide an appropriate recommendation (drug, dose, frequency).

neurological disease

Migraine is a major neurological disease that affects more than 36 million men, women and children in the United States. There is no cure for migraine. Most current treatments aim to reduce headache frequency and stop individual headaches when they occur. Let’s look at a case example:

  • CM is 20 years old female with severe, prolonged 2 to 3 day migraines twice per month. She has difficulty sleeping and is mildly anxious. She occasionally utilizes an inhaler for asthma.
    • Provide an evaluation of CM’s condition including non-pharmacological interventions and treatment options
    • Is Cm a candidate for prophylactic therapy, and if so, what option would be best suited to her?

post-treatment medication

/in /by

Alma Faulkenberger is an 85-year-old female outpatient sitting in the waiting room awaiting an invasive pelvic procedure. The health care professional who will assist in her procedure enters the room and calls “Alma.” There is no reply so the professional retreats to the work area. Fifteen minutes later the professional returns and calls “Alma Frankenberg.” Still no reply, so he leaves again. Another 15 minutes pass and the professional approaches Alma and shouts in her ear, “Are you Alma Frankenberg?” She replies, “No I am not, and I am not deaf either, and when you get my name correct I will answer you.”

Using the topic 1 materials, develop a plan to help Alma be compliant with the procedure and post-treatment medication. Also, describe the approach you would take to patient education in this case.
