We need to find 3 peer reviewed articles, not older than 5 years old to show ethical dilemmas that are faced in healthcare system. We need to propose interventions and state why it was chosen. I need to remove pronouns and make it less of “my opinion” and more of what the articles claim. It needs to be 500-800 words, not including reference and title paper. Times New Roman, 12 pt, font; 1-inch margins, double spaced. Appropriate citations and references. I found one article; I need two more similar topics. Articles must be peer reviewed journals from an accredited entity, such as Medline data base or LIRN Online Library Resources. Thank you.

Outside research is mandatory. Use databases, books, journals, and credible google sites. Do NOT merely use the web. It is mandatory that you use other material that requires research. i.e., JSTOR; Project Muse; CQ Researcher; Google Scholar; Opposing Viewpoints; Points of View; encyclopedias.
You are not allowed to use Wikipedia
In-text citations need to be used in your paper. If you copy ideas and do not acknowledge them, then you have committed plagiarism.
A Works Cited page is necessary. If it is not formatted properly, your grade will be lowered. Thus, go to a librarian, a grammar book, and/or Owl @Purdue and make sure you are formatting this correctly.
If your paper does not reflect outside credible research sources, you will not have fulfilled the assignment.
You must use at least four credible sources for information.
Sources must come from databases, books, and Google Scholar.

Nurse Practitioner’s Final Diagnosis:
Diabetes Mellitus Type II
————————————————————————————————————————————–
PLEASE REVIEW ATTACHED FILES AND COMPLETE BELOW:
The Nurse Practitioner’s final diagnosis/diagnoses is revealed for your review.
You should compare your Diagnosis with that of Nurse Practitioner’s diagnosis (provided), discussing discrepancies noted.
You should prepare a Plan of Care Posting for this patient’s final Diagnosis/Diagnoses, based on cited clinical practice guidelines to include all medications (Rx, OTC, herbals) and procedures; any additional diagnostic tests: include evidence based plan citations to support ordering additional tests; any patient education that may be needed; referrals based on your patient’s given diagnosis (if applicable); patient education pertaining to your diagnosis/diagnoses; and follow-up recommendations.

Your answers must be in the discussion board (not an attachment) to facilitate class discussion. The grade will be a zero if the answers are not in the discussion board post. The initial post is due Sunday, 3/24/24 at 8 PM. Response to a classmate is due 3/26/24 at 8 PM.
Please provide citations when answering the following case study. At least two references are present (text, outside scholarly source less than five years old). See the attached rubric.
A 65-year-old previously well man presents to the clinic with complaints of fatigue of 3 months’ duration. Questioning reveals diffuse weakness and feeling winded when walking uphill or climbing more than one flight of stairs. All symptoms have slowly worsened over time. There are no other complaints, and the review of systems is otherwise negative. The patient has no significant medical history, social history, or family history. On physical examination, he appears somewhat pale, with normal vital signs. The physical examination is unremarkable except for his rectal examination, which reveals brown, guaiac-positive stool (suggesting the presence of blood in the stool). A blood test reveals anemia.
1. What is the most likely form of anemia in this man? What is the probable underlying cause?
2. What is the mechanism by which this disorder results in anemia?
3. What might one expect to see in the peripheral blood smear?
4. What other tests might be ordered to confirm the diagnosis?
5. What is the pathophysiologic mechanism of this patient’s fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath? Why is he pale?

Your answers must be in the discussion board, (not in an attachment), to facilitate class discussion. If the answers are not in the discussion board post the grade will be a zero. Please provide citations when answering the following case studies. At least 2 references are present (text, outside scholarly source less than 5 years old). See the attached rubric.
A 63-year-old man comes to the clinic with a several-month history of difficulty with his gait and coordination. He finds walking difficult and has almost fallen on a number of occasions, especially when trying to change directions. He has also found that using his hands is difficult, and other people have noticed that his hands shake. Physical examination is notable for a resting tremor in the hands that disappears with intentional movement. He has a shuffling gait with difficulty turning. There is so-called cogwheeling rigidity in his arms, a jerky sensation with passive flexion and extension of the arms.
What is the likely diagnosis? What clinical features make this diagnosis likely?
What are the underlying pathologic changes responsible for the clinical presentation?
What are some possible molecular mechanisms responsible for the pathologic changes?

A 9-month-old boy is brought in by his grandmother. He has been “fussing” for 2 days, but eating, drinking, and voiding normally. He cried most of last night and felt warm to the grandmother, but she did not have a way to check his temperature. What additional diagnostic tests do you need? What exam findings would support two possible diagnoses? Present your plan for both of the possible diagnoses. What additional history and systems review would you need? Support your answer with a minimum of two APRN-approved scholarly resources. Please use references within the last 5 years I have started the response use this infomation and add to it:
Additional diagnostic testing that might support a diagnosis includes a thorough physical examination, temperature measurement to assess for possible fever, and urinalysis to assess for concerns of dehydration are additional signs of infection. Possible laboratory results might include CBC, and CMP to evaluate infection, anemia, and electrolyte abnormalities. If warranted imaging studies including possible chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia or abdominal pathology. This should be a last-case scenario due to the patient’s age, the less radiation the better. If the concern is for COVID, Strep, influenza or RSV, PCR swabbing may be conducted at the bedside. Diagnosis 1: Viral Infection
Diagnosis 2: Urinary tract infection
Also use this template as a reference that is attached as all of this information must be in the answer.

Please follow the journal club rubric sharply. This assignment worth 20% of my final grade. Please DO NOT plagiarize. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know. I uploaded the journal club template and the article “Early or Delayed Cardioversion in Recent-Onset Atrial Fibrillation” you should read the article first and then complete the journal club template. follow the instructions sharply. I also provided you with an example of a complete journal club as to follow as reference as well as the lecture slides. Please pay a specific attention to the introduction because it worth 5% of the paper and it needs to have the following Disease State Background
-Epidemiology
-Risk Factors
-Pathophysiology
-Diagnosis
-Treatment
Medication Background
-Mechanism of Action
-Pharmacokinetics/ Pharmacodynamics
-Dosing
-Drug Interactions
-Adverse Effects
** see the example journal club 🙂
Thank you!
I hope I get excellent mark on it. it’s really important.

In June of 2012, World Vision issued a challenge for people to find 50 sponsors for children living in Tanzania. To raise awareness for the cause, the individuals who accepted the challenge committed to hiking Mt. Kilimanjaro. After a successful first year, World Vision decides to contract your services to help physically prepare the climbers for a second trip. You are left to decide what time of year the hike will occur and have one year (maximum) to help your team to train/prepare prior to embarking on the journey. You will have a team of 10 climbers ranging in age from 14 to 64 years old. All members of your team have been cleared by their medical doctor to undertake the rigors of training and the climb.
Research the environmental conditions surrounding the Mt. Kilimanjaro climb and write a double-spaced 5 page paper discussing your training plan and the challenges you expect to face. Your paper should include:
How you will account for and train for the specific thermoregulation (temperature and humidity) and altitude challenges your climbers will face. Include specific details about expected temperatures, humidity, and altitude for the time of year you have chosen to climb. A periodized training program for the year leading up to the climb. Use the attached document to design your program. Identify the periodization style you will use (linear or conjugate), and follow the given template. You will identify basic training requirements at 1 year out and 6 months out (be sure there are at least some variables that change between these two sections). At 3 months out, you must design a full week of training, and at 1 month out, the entire month must be designed. Exercise selection and training load should be modified in accordance with your periodization style. This program counts towards 1 page of the 5-7 page requirement in your paper. Tips for peak performance (give details on nutrition intake you would recommend, supplementation, and injury prevention).
Finally, discuss the challenges/differences you expect to encounter with the varied ages and any variation in the training program you will develop for younger or older members.
Make sure it includes the following info below…
addresses at least three ways they will prepare their athletes for the altitude and thermoregulatory challenges they will face on the mountain.
addresses three or more tools that will aid in peak performance (nutrition, supplementation, injury prevention).
includes macrocycle, mesocycles, and microcycles for resistance and aerobic training, with inclusion of FIT principle.
appropriately addresses at least three training considerations that differ between adolescents, adults, and older adults
