This assignment discusses a presentation the student gave on caring for a pediatric patient named Dahlia. Dahlia had developmental delays and a gastric tube. The student initially expected to focus on developmental goals Dahlia had not met, but discovered she had met some goals. The student adapted their care based on this new knowledge. The presentation highlighted using play and communication without words to care for Dahlia, following the hospital's enteral feeding policy, and considerations for Dahlia's cultural background as her family speaks only Spanish.
Stability of active ingredients in lon expired prescription medications
This document discusses a study that analyzed the potency of active ingredients in 8 long-expired prescription medications ranging from 28 to 40 years past their expiration dates. The study found that 86% (12 out of 14) of the tested active ingredients were within 10% of their labeled concentrations, suggesting that many medications retain their potency for decades past expiration. The results support extending expiration dates to reduce healthcare costs. However, larger controlled studies are still needed to confirm these findings.
Stability of active ingredients in lon expired prescription medications
This document discusses a study that analyzed the potency of active ingredients in 8 long-expired prescription medications ranging from 28-40 years past their expiration dates. The study found that 12 out of 14 tested drug compounds (86%) contained at least 90% of the labeled amount of active ingredients, the minimum for acceptable potency. Only aspirin and amphetamine were found to contain less than 90% of labeled amounts. The results suggest that expiration dates on many drugs could likely be extended well beyond the original dates.
Activism paper
The document discusses sexual education in Virginia and debates the merits of abstinence-only education (AOE) versus comprehensive sexual education (CSE). Senate bill 967 proposes requiring sexual education programs to be medically accurate and evidence-based. Research shows CSE is more effective at preventing teen pregnancy and STDs compared to AOE or no education. While school nurses are well-positioned to provide CSE, they often feel restricted in what they can teach due to pressure from school administrators and teachers. Students need comprehensive, age-appropriate education about sexual health risks to make informed decisions.

Community hlth planning_project_final 2
The document summarizes a community health project conducted by Old Dominion University nursing students in partnership with Miles Memorial United Methodist Church and Sentara Health Prevention. The students assessed the health of the church congregation through surveys and interviews. Their assessment found that high blood pressure was a major health concern, along with allergies, obesity, and depression. The students developed a health plan to address these issues through education and screenings. The congregation is made up of mostly older adults and Caucasians. Literature reviews found that high blood pressure increases with age and is more prevalent in Europe and associated with risk factors like smoking. The project aimed to promote health and prevent illness in the congregation.

Dahlia is a 2-year-old girl with congenital encephalopathy manifesting as bulbar palsy, central and obstructive sleep apnea, and developmental delays. She was admitted for an upper respiratory infection exacerbating her sleep apnea and later received a tracheotomy. Her family is Spanish-speaking and finds caring for her needs difficult. Nursing focuses include managing her respiratory status, meeting developmental milestones, preventing injury or infection, improving nutrition, and discharge planning to a long-term care facility with interpreter support. A research study found 100% oxygen pre- and post-suction was not necessarily required to prevent hypoxemia in mechanically ventilated patients.
