Forum # 4 Assignment Instructions

When nurses study alternative therapies, especially touch and energy therapies, they often frame them with in Martha Rogers theory of the Science of Unitary Human Beings (SUHB). Within this theory humans are viewed as energy fields with a unique pattern. Disruptions in energy lead to illness. Other theories of energy as the basis of life flow from the East and include Prana, Ki, or Chi. Such energies are considered putative and are not without controversy. For this assignment you will pick one energy framework of your choice (it may or may not be listed here) and describe a CAM therapy that flows from it. Your information may come from the text but should also include at least one article from a peer review journal. For this assignment, the article or articles may be either research, practice, or a review in nature and may be older than 5 years. Here is what to include in your paper:

  •       A description of the energy framework and where it originated.
  •       A description of at least one specific manipulation or touch therapy that arises from the framework (hint sports massage does not arise from an energy theory, but reflexology, therapeutic touch, accupuncture, and reiki do).
  •       Discuss the controversies or any ethical issues surrounding that therapy. This section can include what you have read and you opinions.
  •      Cite your information APA style (in text and at the end of your paper). This paper should be about 2 pages. It does not need a title page. Please post it as an attachment in the week 4 forum by Midnight Wednesday. Post a substantial response to at least one other posting by Midnight Saturday

How do global health issues influence nursing practice at your local level or in your work setting? Include specific examples.

/in /by

Write a one page paper- In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Louise Fitzpatrick shared how health and disease are global issues. She pointed out that with the mobility of today’s population, those health issues experienced in one area of the world are easily brought to other areas of the world. Consider the spread of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, avian flu, H1N1, or SARS. These diseases have quickly crossed oceans and spread to a variety of countries. They are a public health concern in the U.S. as well as other countries.

To prepare for this Discussion, reflect on the readings and on Dr. Mancuso’s comments in this week’s media presentation; specifically on the role of the BSN nurse in public and global health. With these thoughts in mind, respond to the following:

  • Why should BSN nurses be concerned with global health issues?
  • How do global health issues influence nursing practice at your local level or in your work setting? Include specific examples.

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Complete a Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) on an older adult using this document and write a descriptive essay regarding this assessment.

 

In the paper, first introduce the reader to the older adult that was examined. Explain the meaning of the results of all five areas of the test. From the interpretation of the test, do you have any concerns about this individual and what interventions would you recommend?

 

Suppose this individual demonstrated some degree of cognitive impairment and had a long standing chronic mental health diagnosis such as OCD or bipolar disease. How would one recognize delirium and mental illness in the patient who also demonstrated cognitive impairment from the MMSE data? Would the findings in the MMSE be different? In what ways? How do the goals of treatment differ in the elderly patient with CI, delirium, and mental illness superimposed on other chronic conditions?
