Understanding Surfactant and Neonatal Respiratory Distress

A newborn baby exhibits signs of respiratory distress due to the lack of surfactant. She has signs of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide. Explain the following in depth:

What is the role of surfactant, what cell secretes it, and when does the body start its production as well as when it is secreted?
Why does the lack of surfactant result in respiratory distress?
What type of acid-base disorder would the infant develop?
How would the infants body compensate for the acid-base disorder?

 

Supervision Strategies in Social Work Practice

Analyze your supervision strategies, commenting on how they align with your current leadership skills and preferences.

Write a 4 page chapter for a manual of social work best practices and identify an emerging intervention model

Briefly describe the model and its target population.
Explain clearly for supervisees how a particular cutting-edge intervention is informed by and impacts global issues such immigration, technology, and poverty, in a clinical setting.
Explain which leadership and supervision skills you will bring to bear to address the emerging intervention of your choice.
Develop guidelines based on your individually identified supervision strategies for your staff to use when considering global issues such as immigration, technology, and poverty in assessment and intervention at all levels.
For the second part of the assignment, in 4 pages:

Describe supervision models aligned to your leadership style (transformational leadership).
Address the challenges you, as a supervisor, will face in leading and supervising this emerging intervention model.

The physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red

Carlton, a 6-year-old boy, was playing on a sandy beach with his mother. He began to run along the shoreline when he stepped on the sharp edge of a shell, giving himself a deep cut on his foot. His mother washed his foot in the lake and put on his running shoe to take him home. One day later, Carlton’s foot looked worse. The gash was red and painful. The foot was warm to touch and appeared swollen. Carlton’s mom put some gauze over the wound and prepared to take him to the local community health clinic.

What is the physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red, hot, swollen, and painful? How is this different from the inflammatory response that might occur in an internal organ?
What are the immunologic events that are happening at the local level during Carlton’s acute inflammatory response?
Nutrition plays an important factor in wound healing. What stages of wound healing would be affected by a deficiency in vitamins A and C?

Sources should be evidenced-based on professional journals. Websites can be used in adjunct but are not considered scholarly references for this course.

FOODBORNE ILLNESS

https://www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/outbreaks/
Outbreaks of foodborne illnesses frequently occur throughout the United States. The Centers for Disease Control are notified when outbreaks of many foodborne illnesses occur. For this assignment, assume you regularly write blogs for your peers and patients. This blog is about these outbreaks and the outcomes associated with them.
To complete this assignment:
• Visit the CDC’s Foodborne Outbreaks page Links to an external site.using this link.
• Select one of the Recent Outbreak Investigations related to food consumption.
In your Blog, include the following:
• What organism caused the outbreak?
• What happened?
o What food was contaminated?
o How was the food contaminated?
 If this information is included in the report, share how the source of contamination relates to the identified organism.
 If the report does not include the information, suggest one way the contamination could have happened based on the organism involved.
 In either case, support your response using an external source.
• Who was affected by the incident?
o How were they exposed to the organism? (if not stated, share your opinion of how they might have been exposed)
o How many people reported symptoms?
o What symptoms might have led to the identification of a foodborne illness?
o How many of the exposed were hospitalized? Were there any mortalities?
• Share your advice, based on at least one source, on how your blog followers can
o Avoid exposure to the organism that caused the outbreak
o Identify symptoms associated with the exposure.
Your Blog (which you will submit as a word document) should:
• Be visually appealing
• Optionally include images and/or videos
o images should be inserted directly into the document
o videos can be shared with a link
• Include references for all included pictures and videos

Anatomy and physiology of human body systems to the pathophysiologic processes

  • Apply principles of normal anatomy and physiology of human body systems to the pathophysiologic processes of common health problems.
  • Identify concepts, principles, and responses related to pathophysiologic processes that result in disease.
  • Discuss clinical manifestations of selected disease processes and health problems.
  • Identify appropriate pharmacological treatment of specific diseases using the nursing process.
  • Discuss the nurse’s role and responsibility for assessment of individuals experiencing health problems that result in pathophysiologic alterations
