Students are required to provide a critical analysis of a clinical case which involved the use of advanced clinical knowledge and skills relevant to the context of their practice. Using the clinical problem you identified in
HEA511, you will aim to target a clinical case for this assessment item which involves the clinical problem. For example, if your clinical problem is access to primary health care for Indigenous clients living in remote settings, you may consider selecting a case study that addresses a patient within this context. In addition, your case must directly link to the ANMC (2013) Nurse Practitioner Standards for Practice. Your case study should be clear and concise, highlighting your role in the client’s assessment and how you demonstrated the advanced and extended competencies and performance indicators required of an NP. Indicate those areas you performed independently and those in which you consulted with other health care providers.
Its only for study purpose for Nursing Students. Kindly refer and share to others. Now a days child mortality rate is very high due to diarrhoea and malnutrition. If we identify the child in first stage we can save them.

Examples of events that could shift the demand or supply of labor and why they do so For the Walmart Company?? ( This needs to be 275 to 350 words)
Explain how the wage can adjust to balance the supply and demand for labor while simultaneously equaling the value of the marginal product of labor.
When Alan Greenspan (who would later become chairman of the Federal Reserve) ran an economic consulting firm in the 1960s, he primarily hired female economists. He once told the New York Times, "I always valued men and women equally, and I found that because others did not, good women economists were cheaper than men." Is Greenspan's behavior profit-maximizing? Is it admirable or despicable? If more employers were like Greenspan, what would happen to the wage differential between men and women? Why might other economic consulting firms at the time not have followed Greenspan's business strategy?
Is it morally wrong to hire a worker for a wage that worker is willing to accept?
How would a utilitarian, a liberal, and a libertarian each determine how much income inequality is permissible?
If you want more income equality, then you are for wealth redistribution. Is there another way to ensure income equality without having the government redistribute income?

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

History of Nurse Practitioners - National Nurse Practitioner Week
1. History of Nurse Practitioners
in the United States

2. Reaction to Specialization
During the late 1950s and early 1960s, specialization in medicine expanded, and
this resulted in a shortage of primary care physicians. Rural areas were impacted
the most by this shift. Primary care physicians who decided not to specialize in a
particular area of medicine, recruited Registered Nurses with clinical expertise and
began collaborating with them to identify and treat the primary care needs of
children and families.
3. Creation of Medicare and Medicaid
The Social Security Amendments of 1965 spurred the development of the
Medicare and Medicaid programs. Under these programs, low-income children,
women, the elderly, and people with disabilities gained new access to health care.
This increased the need for primary care throughout the United States, and nurses
naturally stepped in to educate families about health promotion and prevention.
4. First NP Education Program
Throughout the country, a consensus formed among nursing leaders that nurses
were experienced and knowledgeable about the health care needs of children and
families. This led to an expansion of their roles to parallel the roles and
responsibilities of a primary care physician. In 1965, one of these leaders, Loretta
Ford, partnered with a physician, Henry Silver, to create the very first training
program for Nurse Practitioners. Their program, offered at the University of
Colorado, focused on family health, disease prevention,
and the promotion of health.
5. Reactions to NPs
The introduction of the first Nurse Practitioner program was met with resistance.
Ford, Silver, and their students faced opposition from nurses who worried that the
title “Nurse Practitioner” was misleading and would be misinterpreted by both the
medical and nursing community as well as the public. Health care professionals
were concerned that NPs were not qualified to provide medical care that
physicians usually delivered without the supervision of a physician.
6. Drive for Legitimacy
During the 1970s and 1980s, Nurse Practitioners took up the task of validating
their profession. The lack of a credentialing process and training paired with the
improvements in health care put pressure on NPs to showcase their abilities and
their overall benefit to health care. NPs used this time to document patient
satisfaction with their care and create criteria and standards of practice. They also
monitored the overall increase of the availability of primary care to patients
throughout the country via evidence-based studies.
7. Coordinated Organization
As time went on, Nurse Practitioners became a more valuable and essential part of
health care, and they began to work for economic and professional
acknowledgement. Between 1973 and 1985, more than 11 NP organizations were
created in the United States. Through these organizations, NPs took certification
examinations to earn credentials and adhere to federal regulations and
reimbursement policies.
8. Numbers Swell
In 1974, the American Nurses Association created the Council of Primary Care
Nurse Practitioners, a move that helped solidify the role of Nurse Practitioners in
the United States health care system. By 1979, there were approximately 15,000
Nurse Practitioners across the country. The National Council of State Boards of
Nursing also set licensure as a Registered Nurse as the standard for pursuing an
advanced degree in nursing. Just six years later in 1985, the American Academy of
Nurse Practitioners was established.
9. Certification Status
During the late 1980s, Nurse Practitioners did not have provider status in the eyes
of the government. This meant their services had no designated monetary value
and were not reimbursable. Lacking this status, NPs were not viewed as
autonomous health care providers, making the utilization of their services difficult.
During this time, reimbursement typically came via a paycheck from
a physician or hospital.
10. Legislation Solidified
Very much accustomed to fighting to legitimize their profession, nurse leaders
throughout the country worked with members of Congress and lobbyists to
achieve reimbursement and provider status. Their hard work paid off when the
Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1989 was signed into law by President George H. W.
Bush. The act created limited reimbursement for Nurse Practitioners.
11. Professional Identity
In 1993, Nurse Practitioner leaders throughout the country gathered at a
leadership summit to develop a unified approach for all NP objectives — including
policy and advocacy development. Soon after, the National Nurse Practitioner
Coalition (NNPC) was formed, which later became the American College of Nurse
Practitioners (ACNP). The NP community strengthened their identity and made it
easier for NP advocates to support the profession’s causes.
12. Meeting a New Need
Nurse Practitioners gained direct reimbursement through the Balanced Budget Act
of 1997, which was signed into law by President Bill Clinton. More recently, the
Affordable Care Act was passed, and millions of Americans gained new access to
health care. The need for primary care throughout the country increased
immensely, and current NPs are poised to meet this demand. The scope of practice
for NPs varies throughout the country by state. As of November 2014, 19 states
have a full scope of practice, 19 states have a reduced scope of practice, and 12
states have a restricted scope of practice. Today, there are more than 192,000 NPs
in the United States.
