Investigate the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Workforce With the rapid growth of AI, experts are predicting that intelligent software and robots will revolutionize jobs that are being performed by humans today, with some even claiming that AI will result in the end of work as we know it. These predictions are often based on pure speculation as there is currently a lack of data in terms of what jobs are being replaced by AI, the rate of progress of AI and what new jobs are emerging due to AI. In class, we discussed jobs that will be eliminated by AI, jobs that will be augmented by AI and jobs that can only be done by humans. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many deeper issues related to these topics and there are also many other issues that we did not cover. In your final report, you will do a deeper dive into the subject of AI and the workforce. In particular, you will need to decide if the impact of AI on the workforce will be a positive one or a nega

Naloxone Naloxone is a medication that has gained significant attention in recent years due to its critical role in reversing opioid overdose, a growing public health crisis. It is an opioid antagonist that rapidly reverses the effects of opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers, by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and blocking the effects of opioids. Naloxone was first developed in the 1960s and was primarily used in hospital settings to reverse the effects of opioids during surgery or other medical procedures. Over time, its potential for use in treating opioid overdose became apparent, and naloxone was increasingly used in emergency situations to prevent overdose deaths. In recent years, as the opioid epidemic has continued to grow and overdose deaths have increased, the use of naloxone has become even more critical. Governments, healthcare providers, and community organizations have implemented naloxone distribution programs to increase its avail

Gastrointestinal tract and the disorders of motility Jamie is a 3-month-old female who presents with her mother for evaluation of “throwing up.” Mom reports that Jamie has been throwing up pretty much all the time since she was born. Jamie does not seem to be sick. In fact, she drinks her formula vigorously and often acts hungry. Jamie has normal soft-brown bowel movements every day and, overall, seems like a happy and contented baby. She smiles readily and does not cry often. Other than the fact that she often throws up after drinking a bottle, she seems to be a very healthy, happy infant. A more precise history suggests that Jamie does not exactly throw up—she does not heave or act unwell—but rather it just seems that almost every time she drinks a bottle she regurgitates a milky substance. Mom thought that she might be allergic to her formula and switched her to a hypoallergenic formula. It didn’t appear to help at all, and now Mom is very concerned. Cases like these are not uncomm

Be specific and provide examples.
The impact Of standardized nursing terminology. When you wake in the morning, you may reach for your cell phone to reply to a few texts or email messages that you missed overnight. On your drive to work, you may stop to refuel your car. Upon your arrival, you might swipe a key card at the door to gain entrance to the facility. And before finally reaching your workstation, you may stop by the cafeteria to purchase a coffee. From the moment you wake, you are in fact a data-generation machine. Each use of your phone, every transaction you make using a debit or credit card, and even your entrance to your place of work, creates data. It begs the question: How much data do you generate each day? Many studies have been conducted on this, and the numbers are staggering: Estimates suggest that nearly 1 million bytes of data are generated every second for every person on earth. As the volume of data increases, information professionals have looked for ways to use big data—large, complex sets o
The Parse’s theory of Human Becoming The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears “Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a l

The national healthcare issue/stressor The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system. Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of pro

Implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assistant personnel, and employer reductions of education benefits Competing needs arise within any organization as employees seek to meet their targets and leaders seek to meet company goals. As a leader, successful management of these goals requires establishing priorities and allocating resources accordingly. Within a healthcare setting, the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients are often in conflict. Mandatory overtime, implementation of staffing ratios, use of unlicensed assistant personnel, and employer reductions of education benefits are examples of practices that might lead to conflicting needs in practice. Leaders can contribute to both the problem and the solution through policies, action, and inaction. In this Assignment, you will further develop the white paper you began work on in Module 1 by addressing competing needs within your organization.
The circulatory and respiratory systems This week we will continue our discussion of the circulatory and respiratory systems. You will have another case study to discuss in a two-page paper based on the below-listed case scenario. Case Scenario: 11-year-old boy complains of wheezing and difficulty “getting enough air.” Notices it more when he is playing baseball and symptoms improve when exercise activity stops. He says that the symptoms are getting worse, and the symptoms are even occurring at rest. Mother says the child is allergic to cat dander and his next-door neighbor in their apartment building recently began sheltering cats for the local humane society. Auscultation demonstrates wheezes on forced expiration throughout all lung fields.
She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe. Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming? What are characteristics of a human becoming nurse? What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing? What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?

Cultural factors to be considered when building a health history for patients with diverse backgrounds In May 2012, Alice Randall wrote an article for on the cultural factors that encouraged black women to maintain a weight above what is considered healthy. Randall explained—from her observations and her personal experience as a black woman—that many African-American communities and cultures consider women who are overweight to be more beautiful and desirable than women at a healthier weight. As she put it, “Many black women are fat because we want to be” (Randall, 2012). Randall’s statements sparked a great deal of controversy and debate; however, they emphasize an underlying reality in the healthcare field: different populations, cultures, and groups have diverse beliefs and practices that impact their health. Nurses and healthcare professionals should be aware of this reality and adapt their health assessment techniques and recommendations to accommodate diversity.
In this Discussion, you will consider different socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors that should be taken into considerations when building a health history for patients with diverse backgrounds. Your Instructor will assign a case study to you for this Discussion.

Organizational Policies And Practices To Support Healthcare Issues Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations. For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care? In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue. To Prepare: Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1. Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the

This is because you will find that statistical significance may be prone to biases. Statistical significance basically indicates that the outcomes did not happen by chance. However, when a researcher fails to account for outliers and confounding variables, then this is bound to bring about questions on the significance of the relationship established by the research (Frank et al., 2021). It is therefore imperative that when deciding on a treatment or intervention that there is evidence of its clinical significance. This is because clinical significance will be evidence that the intervention will bear positive implications on the intended populations.

In no more than 250 words, discuss how principles of a Christian worldview lend support to legislative advocacy in health care without bias. Be specific as to how these principles help advocate for inclusiveness and positive health outcomes for all populations, including those more vulnerable, without regard to gender, sexual orientation, culture, race, religion/belief, etc. According to Christianity, it is the responsibility of others to advocate for those in need. Thus, when one opts to advocate for a given course, the purpose would be to address the needs of the vulnerable populations. Patients in this care are vulnerable in their time of need, hence they need someone who can speak for them. Advocating for increased nurses in healthcare settings helps nurses in meeting individual needs and social needs of the patients. Social structures should not guide nursing practice, but rather, nurses should focus on ensuring that the marginalized in the community receive adequate care.
Problem In no more than 250 words, describe the problem, who is affected, and the current ramifications. Explain the consequences if the issue continues.

Assignment: Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Anxiety Disorders, PTSD, and OCD “Fear,” according to the DSM-5, “is the emotional response to real or perceived imminent threat, whereas anxiety is anticipation of future threat” (APA, 2013). All anxiety disorders contain some degree of fear or anxiety symptoms (often in combination with avoidant behaviors), although their causes and severity differ. Trauma-related disorders may also, but not necessarily, contain fear and anxiety symptoms, but their primary distinguishing criterion is exposure to a traumatic event. Trauma can occur at any point in life. It might not surprise you to discover that traumatic events are likely to have a greater effect on children than on adults. Early-life traumatic experiences, such as childhood sexual abuse, may influence the physiology of the developing brain. Later in life, there is a chronic hyperarousal of the stress response, making the individual vulnerable to further stress and stress-related dis

Explain strategies for maintaining the therapeutic relationship with a client that may present with a dissociative disorder. Finally, explain ethical and legal considerations related to dissociative disorders that you need to bring to your practice and why they are important.
CONTROVERSY ASSOCIATED WITH DISSOCIATIVE DISORDERS The DSM-5-TR is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages. It is used not just for diagnosis, however, but also for billing, access to services, and legal cases. Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the DSM-5-TR, and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose.

What are some potential indications for the long term use of acid-suppressive therapy and given the above potential adverse events, what would your discussion entail for a patient, who through mutual decision making, is considering long term therapy with a PPI?
Proton pump inhibitors are a class of novel drugs that are the most potent acid suppressors on the market today. Since omeprazole's introduction in 1990, they have been clinically proven to be better than H2RAs. Over the past decade their use has been scrutinized because of several harmful disease associations. • C. difficile infection: FDA's analysis of over 28 studies revealed that patients taking PPIs were at a 1.4-2.75 times greater risk of developing an infection • Fractures: FDA reviewed several studies and have concluded that PPIs in high doses, multiple daily doses, and/or continued therapy for longer than a year increase a person's risk of osteoporosis related fracture • Magnesium: PPIs may decrease magnesium level, which can lead to muscle spasms, arrhythmias, seizures, and fatigue. This typically occurs after long-term administration of PPIs, usually longer than a year. Treatment may require magnesium replacement and PPI discontinuation • Dementia: Although several theor
