i am an advanced nurse practitioner, master’s student, this assignment is to express my feelings about the competent thing I do and if there is anything makes me overwhelmed as is it in the document .
I felt competent when the doctor let me assess the patient alone, you can write this with little details about the diagnosis.
I felt overwhelmed when a patient with back pain who is on gabapentin medication came complaining of pain and the doctor doesn’t want to give him morphine m I was thinking about when we should prescribe it and when it hasn’t (also you can write about it).

A 75-year-old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes, and environmental allergies, presents to the office with a complaint of persistent dry hacking cough that does not improve with over-the-counter treatment with antitussives and allergy medications. The man reports that he has had the cough for 3 months and is tired of the coughing spells he experiences. His medical history reveals that he started taking lisinopril 6 months before this appointment, has taken an over-the-counter allergy medication for several years, and his blood pressure today is 150/92. Other medications include metformin XR 500 mg daily, aspirin 81 mg once daily, and loratadine 10 mg daily. The physical exam is negative for any issues other than his mild neuropathy from long-term diabetes. The cough is noted to be dry and hacking as the patient has described. The man is not in acute distress.
What questions would have been asked as part of the medical history?
What physical aspects would have been completed as part of the physical exam?
Based on the medical history and physical exam, what is the most likely cause of his cough?
What other possible diagnoses should be considered?
Are there any other tests that should be completed before producing a diagnosis? Why or why not?

Before submitting your Assessment, carefully review the rubric. This is the same rubric the assessor will use to evaluate your submission and it provides detailed criteria describing how to achieve or master the Competency. Many students find that understanding the requirements of the Assessment and the rubric criteria help them direct their focus and use their time most productively.
Access the following to complete this Assessment:
Reflect on the criteria provided in the Rubric.
U.S. Breast Cancer Statistics
Annual Costs of Cancer Care—Cancer Prevalence and Cost of Care Projections
Chemo Costs in U.S. Driven Higher by Shift to Hospital Outpatient Facilities
GDP Per Capita
Health Expenditure Per Capita
Life Expectancy at Birth, Total (Years)
Breast Cancer Drug – Comparison Chart
Use the APA Presentation Template.
Download the Writing Checklist to review prior to submitting your Assessment.
This assessment has two-parts. Click each of the items below to complete this assessment.
Part I: Determining Pricing and Marketing Strategy for a New Drug
You have been tasked with developing a pricing and marketing strategy for Comanapracil, which you will share in a 10 – 15 slide presentation with board of directors. As you undertake this task, be sure to address the following:
U.S. Breast Cancer Statistics
Annual Costs of Cancer Care—Cancer Prevalence and Cost of Care Projections
Chemo Costs in U.S. Driven Higher by Shift to Hospital Outpatient Facilities
Breast Cancer Drug—Comparison Chart
Develop and present estimates for the demand for Comanapracil and the price of the drug you think the market will bear. Be sure to include the number of customers for this drug.
Describe where and to whom you will focus your marketing efforts. For each, detail why they are important.
Explain three ways you will ensure that insurance companies pay for your drug.
Explain the elasticity of demand for a drug like Comanapracil. What factors could potentially change the elasticity of demand?
Assume you are able to obtain a patent and are ready to go to market immediately. Explain the length of time for which your drug will receive patent protection, so that you are protected from competition prior to generics entering the market. Also, explain why patent protection exists in healthcare.
Note: Your presentation should provide key concepts in the slides with a full discussion as your narrative below in the speaker notes, while using the rubric for guidance to meet expectation.
Part II: Compare International Healthcare Systems to Develop an International Market Entry Strategy
It is your job to develop a market analysis for four different healthcare markets with unique insurance systems. These four analyses will be contained within one 10- to 11-slide presentation to the board of directors. Your analysis will serve as a basis for deciding which country to market Comanapracil:
Germany
United States
Ghana
Brazil
Create your presentation as follows:
The first slide will be an analysis of the relationship between spending on healthcare per capita and life expectancy in each country. Refer to the learning resources to create a chart comparing the spending on healthcare per capita with the life expectancy in each country. Underneath the chart, on the same slide, address the question: Is there a relationship between life expectancy and healthcare spending?
Next, based on what you have learned about the healthcare systems of Germany, the United States, Ghana, and Brazil, create four slides (one for each country) that summarize how each healthcare system is structured.
Next, create another four slides (again one for each country). Each of these slides should summarize your findings from conducting a SWOT analysis for each country (that is, identify the economic strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) associated with marketing Comanapracil in each country.
Create one to two slides recommending which two countries are most attractive for marketing Comanapracil and why.
Your board has shown a particular interest in the German market. In order to market your drug in Germany successfully, you must be approved by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWIG). Create two to three slides, which argue for the importance of why your drug should be approved by the IQWIG. Address the following issues:
How much of a gain in health outcomes will this drug provide?
Do other drugs provide similar effectiveness in treating this disease?
How many people will benefit from this drug? Explain why some people will benefit from the drug more than others.
Note: Your presentation should provide key concepts in the slides with a full discussion as your narrative below in the speaker notes, while using the rubric for guidance to meet expectation. This one assignment but I need two power points done as instructed above. Thanks
