Urinary Tract Infections Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by bacteria—most often Escherichia coli . However, certain viruses, fungi, and parasites can also lead to infection. The infection can affect the lower and upper urinary tract, including the urethra, prostate (in males), bladder, ureter, and kidney. Due to the progression of the disease and human anatomy, symptoms present differently among the sexes as well as among age groups. It is important to understand how these factors, as well as others, impact the pathophysiology of UTIs. Advanced practice nurses must have this foundation in order to properly diagnose patients. To Prepare · Review Chapter 30 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of lower and upper urinary tract infections. Consider the similarities and differences between the two types of infections. · Select two of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors you selected might impact the pathophysiology of the infections, as well as the diagnosis of and treatment for the infections. Write · a description of the pathophysiology of lower and upper urinary tract infections, including their similarities and differences.

Respond on two different days who selected at least one different factor than you, in one or more of the following ways:Offer alternative diagnoses and prescription of treatment options for urinary tract infections.Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives Main Post Pathophysiology of Upper and Lower Urinary Tract Infections Lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) involve the urethra and the bladder; upper urinary tract infections include the ureters and the kidneys. Upper UTIs are rarer than lower UTIs but typically are more severe (Healthline, 2019). Microorganisms are the most common agent resulting in UTI infection. Microorganisms can include Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and staphylococcus saprophyticus. Less common mircroorganisms are proteus, klebsiella, pseudomonas, viruses, fungi, tubercular bacilli, and parasites. Gram-negative bacilli move into the urethra, next to bladder, then on to the ureter, and kidney. Infection begins as an inflammatory response producing edema within the bladder wall. The bladder feels full with only small amounts of urine present, but the urgency of needing to urinate is present and appears more often than usual (Huether & McCance, 2017). Signs and symptoms of lower UTIs might include frequency, nocturia, dysuria, urgency, and hematuria (in some cases). Signs and symptoms of upper UTIs might include nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, low back, flank pain, abdominal pain and mental status changes in the elderly population (Barkley, 2018). Pathophysiology Impact and Patient Factors Women are more prone than men to experience UTIs, possibly because of urethral irritation during sexual intercourse or because they have a shorter urethra, making it easy for microorganism transmission (Berkowitz, 2007). Microorganisms mostly associated with a female diagnosis would be E.Coli and microorganisms primarily related to a male diagnosis would be proteus species. Disorders with lower UTIs might be, urethritis/dysuria, and cystitis. Diseases with upper UTIs might be, renal, pyelonephritis, and renal abscess (Barkley, 2018). Contributing patient factors might be age, prior UTI history, pregnancy, immunocompromised patients, urinary catheter usage, and poorly controlled diabetes (Healthline, 2019). Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnostic test for lower UTIs are urinalysis, esterase detection on dipstick, and presence of nitrate by dipstick. Treatment for lower UTIs are ciprofloxacin, augmentin, bactrim (commonly), additionally amoxicillin, macrobid, levaquin, monurol, and primsol maybe prescribed. The preferred treatment course is 3-days instead of 7-day to maximize benefits and minimize treatment drawbacks (Barkley, 2018). Diagnostic test for upper UTIs are ESR elevation, and white blood cell casts appearing on urinalysis. Treat.

Assignment 3: Capstone Research Project Due Week 10 and worth 440 points Assume you are the partner in an accounting firm hired to perform the audit on a fortune 1000 company. Assume also that the initial public offering (IPO) of the company was approximately five (5) years ago and the company is concerned that, in less than five (5) years after the IPO, a restatement may be necessary. During your initial evaluation of the client, you discover the following information: The client is currently undergoing a three (3) year income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). A significant issue involved in the IRS audit encompasses inventory write-downs on the tax returns that are not included in the financial statements. Because of the concealment of the transaction, the IRS is labeling the treatment of the write-down as fraud. The company has a share-based compensation plan for top-level executives consisting of stock options. The value of the options exercised during the year was not expensed or disclosed in the financial statements. The company has several operating and capital leases in place, and the CFO is considering leasing a substantial portion of the assets for future use. The current leases in place are arranged using special purpose entities (SPEs) and operating leases. The company seeks to acquire a global partner, which will require IFRS reporting. The company received correspondence from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting additional supplemental information regarding the financial statements submitted with the IPO. Write 8 page paper in which you: Evaluate any damaging financial and ethical repercussions of failure to include the inventory write-downs in the financial statements. Prepare a recommendation to the CFO, evaluating the negative impact of a civil fraud penalty on the corporation as a result of the IRS audit. In the recommendation, include essential internal control procedures to prevent fraudulent financial reporting from occurring, as well as the major obligation of the CEO and CFO to ensure compliance. Examine the negative results on stakeholders and the financial statements of an IRS audit which generates additional tax and penalties or subsequent audits. Assume that the subsequent audit and / or additional tax and penalties result from the taxpayer’s use of an inventory reserve account, applying a 10 percent reduction to inventory over three (3) years. Discuss the applicable federal tax laws, regulations, rulings, and court cases related to the inventory write-downs, and explain the specific relevance of each to the write-down. Research the current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) regarding stock option accounting. Evaluate the current treatment of the company’s share-based compensation plan based on GAAP reporting. Contrast the financial benefits and risks of the share-based compensation stock option plan with the financial benefits and risks of a share-based stock.

Throughout the intervening years, the DSM has gone through several revisions, establishing specific diagnostic criteria for each disorder listed, and revising disorders as more was understood about their origins, symptoms, and treatments. The DSM III (1980) marks the point when substance use disorders were moved to a category of their own, separate from personality disorders. Today, the current DSM lists the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders. While these standardized diagnostic p.

Assignment 2:—Criminal Justice Arguments Several players interact with each other in the courtroom. Of those players, we see two profiles often in popular media: criminal defense lawyers and the prosecution. Both are responsible for taking a case from its preliminary phases to trial and beyond. Both gather evidence, interview witnesses, and develop possible arguments for their cases. Both are responsible for presenting the best outcome, whether they believe in the reasoning or not. In this assignment, you will have the experience of developing an argument for a criminal case. Activity Details Step 1: Identify a criminal case that you feel passionately about. Find an article related to a criminal case in the Argosy University online library to use in the summary. Complete the following tasks. Write a one-page summary of the case. The summary should include: The alleged crime that occurred The elements of the crime The evidence presented in the case The possible defenses Step 2: Write a one-page argument for the defendant as if you were the defense attorney on the case.

Assignment 2: Case of Anna O One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach. Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory. Review the following: The Case of Anna O. One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case. Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes. Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982). Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated. Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following: Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations. On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna? How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history? Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Assignment 2: Discussion—Comparison of Editorials In this assignment, you will identify and explore your intuitive critical-thinking strategies. It is the starting point to developing the skills to analyze information critically. Research methods of identifying strong and weak arguments using your textbook and the Argosy University online library resources. Be sure to cover the following: Identify premises and conclusions Discuss whether or not an inference is warranted Determine whether arguments utilize inductive or deductive reasoning For this assignment, your facilitator will assign you one of the following debates: Debate 1: Should the “Ashley X” treatments have been permitted? Debate 2: Is Osama Bin Laden’s death a decisive blow to Al Qaeda or an unmitigated victory against terrorism? Each debate has two sets of articles for review. Your facilitator will assign you one of these sets. Each set has two articles with two varying, but important, perspectives on the same subject. Be sure to read both articles in the set. Debate 2 These pairs of articles focus on the subject of Osama Bin Laden’s death and the alleged implications his death are expected to have on matters of future Al Qaeda activity and international safety. Set A Clarke, R. A. (2011, May 3). Bin Laden’s dead. Al Qaeda’s not [Op-Ed]. The New York Times, p. A.23. (ProQuest Document ID 864311946). http://search.proquest.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/docview/864311946/abstract?source=fedsrch&accountid=34899 THE United States needed to eliminate Osama bin Laden to fulfill our sense of justice and, to a lesser extent, to end the myth of his invincibility. But dropping Bin Laden's corpse in the sea does not end the terrorist threat, nor does it remove the ideological motivation of Al Qaeda's supporters. Often forgotten amid the ugly violence of Al Qaeda's attacks was that the terrorists' declared goal was to replace existing governments in the Muslim world with religiously pure Islamist states and eventually restore an Islamic caliphate. High on Al Qaeda's list of targets was Egypt's president, Hosni Mubarak. The protesters of Tahrir Square succeeded in removing him without terrorism and without Al Qaeda. Thus, even before Bin Laden's death, analysts had begun to argue that Al Qaeda was rapidly becoming irrelevant. With Bin Laden's death, it is even more tempting to think that the era of Al Qaeda is over. But such rejoicing would be premature. To many Islamist ideologues, the Arab Spring simply represents the removal of obstacles that stood in the way of establishing the caliphate. Their goal has not changed, nor has their willingness to use terrorism. In the months ahead, Bin Laden's death may encourage Al Qaeda to stage an attack to counter the impression that it is out of business. The more significant threat, however, will come from Al Qaeda's local affiliates. Bin Laden and his deputies designed Al Qaeda as a network of affiliated groups that could operate largely independently to .

ASSIGNMENT 2 You will be working on a weekly generational analysis that culminates in a final, edited compilation due in Week 6. Your weekly installments will explore the zeitgeist (German for “spirit of the times”) of each era by traveling through the generations and examining a single facet of popular culture. Select one area of popular culture to investigate through each generation from the following list: • Architecture or Art • Advertising or Graphic Design • Culinary Arts • Dance • Fashion • Film or Video • Games or Sports • Jokes or Urban Legends • Literature • Music or Music Videos Consider the generation’s characteristics as you explore how the area you have chosen evolved during that generation. Relate the generation to the area, and you will find the spirit of the times. Compose your analysis with care. Analyze how the area you chose forms a portrait of the multiple generations alive during this time. Think about historical and cultural events, technological advancements, the economy, and the political climate. Describe how those changes might affect one personally. Your project may take the form of a traditional paper. A traditional paper offers an introduction, develops a thesis with evidence, and provides a conclusion. Your paper must include functional links, clips, and/or images. An alternative to the traditional paper is a creative work approved by your instructor and supported with a written analysis. Your written analysis will support your creative project by relating your creative work to the zeitgeist we study each week. Some examples are: a menu for each generation, a cinema showcase of film clips or self-made films reflecting each generation, a concert (your own music created in the spirit of each generation), a fashion show for each generation, a video game reflecting the generations, an oral history (interviews with family members, friends, and/or strangers about their generations). Visual presentation is important. Be certain to present your work aesthetically. If you are composing a traditional paper, then images, clips, and/or links will add professionalism. Our session together examines six generations focusing primarily on their “coming of age” eras during which they significantly began asserting themselves as consumers/creators of popular culture. Please refer to the table below to discern the birth date ranges and coming-of-age date ranges for each generation: Generation Name Coming-of-Age Era Date Range Birth Date Range Lost Generation 1901–1929 1883–1900 GI (Greatest) Generation 1929–1946 1901–1929 Silent Generation 1946–1963 1929–1946 Baby Boomer Generation 1963–1983 1946–1963 Generation X 1983–1999 1963–1983 Millennial Generation 1999–Ongoing 1983–2004 .

Assignment 2: Traumatic Brain Injury: Jefferson’s Case When new parents are expecting a baby, they rarely consider the possibility that the baby could have significant challenges. For those who have children with severe, multiple disabilities, planning for the future is a critical, lifelong process and requires considerable investments of time and effort, while potentially causing significant stress to the parents. With advances in our understanding, there are many more resources available to children and families than there were previously. Review the following scenario: Jefferson is a six-year-old boy in kindergarten. He has suffered from cerebral palsy and a severe seizure disorder since he was an infant, resulting in significant physical and cognitive impairment. Although he has received services and support through early childhood intervention (ECI) services, as he enters formal schooling, his parents have become increasingly concerned about his future. Jefferson spends most of his time in a wheelchair and uses a special touchscreen augmentative communication device. In addition to their concerns about the future, Jefferson’s father also harbors considerable guilt that he or his wife might have caused their son’s disabilities. Using the module readings and at least one peer-reviewed article from the Argosy University online library resources or a reputable organization, research traumatic brain injuries. Based on your research, respond to the following: Summarize research related to the influence of nature versus nurture on the cause of Jefferson’s disabilities. Provide a hypothesis of Jefferson’s likely prognosis. What supports or services might maximize this outcome? Evaluate what Jefferson’s future might have been if he were being raised in the U.S. in the 1940s. Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format (not counting the title and reference pages).
