Topic: Prostate Cancer Case Study: A 58-year-old male presents to the primary care clinic. He reports that he is here to get his annual exam. He reports that he has had some increased fatigue and noticed some difficulty with his urine stream. His family history is remarkable for prostate cancer through his father. His father died at 62 from prostate cancer. He smoked 2 packs of cigarettes daily for 20 years. He recently quit smoking a year ago when he began having shortness of breath. Labs reveal a normal urinalysis and CBC, a PSA of 5.0. A DRE reveals an enlarged, nodular prostate.

My topic is on Leukemia I’m going to addd example how it should look like it please make sure that everything is on there 

It is anticipated that the initial discussion post should be in the range of 250-300 words. Response posts to peers have no minimum word requirement but must demonstrate topic knowledge and scholarly engagement with peers. Substantive content is imperative for all posts. All discussion prompt elements for the topic must be addressed. Please proofread your response carefully for grammar and spelling. Do not upload any attachments unless specified in the instructions. All posts should be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource, ideally within the last 5 years. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately.

Scenario: A 64-year-old female patient enters the walk-in clinic reporting dizziness and fainting that has been happening off and on for the last 48 hours. The patient reports a 10-year history of hypertension, which she describes as “usually” controlled. The woman reports being recently ill with a “bad case” of influenza but otherwise well, with a history of depression controlled with antidepressant medication. The woman reports taking an ACE inhibitor daily for her hypertension and notes she has taken a dose today. Her vital signs upon arrival are: blood pressure 104/48, heart rate 180, respiratory rate 30, and temperature 99.1°F. The woman appears diaphoretic, fatigued, and weak. Physical assessment reveals an irregularly irregular heart rate, weak peripheral pulses, cool, pale skin, and decreased capillary refill. The ECG shows atrial fibrillation. The woman reveals that she is in the United States illegally and is undocumented. The patient expresses concern about her status as you prepare her for treatment.
What additional symptoms should you ask the patient if she has experienced?
Using Table 36.1, calculate the patient’s CHADS2 score and determine whether anticoagulation is recommended based on the score.
What is the significance of this condition happening off and on for the last 48 hours?
You, the nurse practitioner, decide the patient needs treatment beyond the walk-in clinic’s resources. What action do you take to ensure that the patient is treated promptly?
Because the patient is an undocumented immigrant, what considerations will be needed while care is provided?

Scenario: Gina is a healthy 32-year-old lawyer who presents to the clinic with recent onset of intermittent headaches. She recently started at a new law firm and has been under a lot of stress. Her headaches can last 4 hours or more and they are a moderate to severe pulsation quality. She has had to leave work on at least 5 occasions over the last two months. During a headache, she has photophobia and nausea. Lying down in a dark room with a cold compress helps as she eventually falls asleep. Ibuprofen has been mildly effective, but she can’t tolerate it when she is nauseated. She is worried that she is missing too much work at her new job.
What should the initial history and physical examination include?
Would you order diagnostic tests on Gina? Provide your rationale for why or why not.
What are the differential diagnoses for this patient?
What is the most likely diagnosis for this patient? Explain your answer.
What are the first line initial treatment recommendations for management of this disorder? Provide pharmacological (with full prescriiption details) and nonpharmacological treatment options.
What patient education should you discuss with Gina?

3,500-word research proposal and plan
The purpose of your research proposal is to present the problem you are proposing to investigate, the health problem, to present the reason for studying this (i.e. the gap in knowledge), and for you to describe, explain and justify how you will conduct your study.
The Title is Exploring Leadership competencies of head nurse in Hamad Medical Corporation (Qatar) from a Nursing Perspective.
Assessment Guidance
The following is a suggested structure for the developing the proposal:
▪ Title: A clear title for the research protocol which clearly addresses the variables and concepts that are being researched.
▪ Background: an outline for the key drivers and need for the research proposal. This may include key political, professional, clinical and service user drivers for the research project.
▪ Literature review: a critical discussion of the research literature that forms the foundations for your proposal. This will inform the rationale for the research project and explore how it builds on existing knowledge and /or practice. In other words, your critical reading and summarising of the literature will show what is known, as well as what is not yet known about your particular topic.
▪ Aims and Objectives: a clearly articulated outline of the aims and objectives of the research proposal which will clearly derive from literature review.
▪ Research Question / Hypothesis: Clearly defined question (s) that is specific to the study in order to provide data that will provide answers. The research question or hypothesis will also indicate the kind of empirical evidence which you are proposing to collect. The research question or hypothesis will frame the boundaries of the research project (what it is / isn’t about).
▪ Methodology: This will provide the philosophical and theoretical orientation of the research project that will inform the study design and the methods used to collect data.
▪ Methods: Here you should discuss what we explore in the ‘doing research’ and ‘analysing research data’ parts of the module. You should cover sampling and recruitment strategies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, data collection methods and process for analysing the data. It is important to explore issues of reliability and validity with regard to empirical data and the research process, and the feasibility of carrying out the research. This section will also include a consideration of the key ethical concerns associated with the study together with the strategies and processes that will be implemented to address those concerns. These may relate to issues of confidentiality, anonymity, capacity and consent, vulnerable populations etc.
▪ Limitations of the study: Here name all the biases that may occur during the study.
▪ Timeplan: Using a Gantt chart provide a research timeplan.
Learning Outcomes
▪ Critically evaluate existing literature, research design and methodology for the chosen topic, including data analysis processes.
▪ Produce and critically evaluate a research proposal for the chosen topic.
▪ Critically appraise of the range of research designs, research methodologies, research epistemologies, sampling methods and research methods that are commonly used in health and social care research.
▪ Critically examine the contribution primary and secondary data sources can make to research studies ie sampling, data analysis and presentation and explore what is meant by evidence in health and social care research.
▪ Understand the principles of qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
▪ To critically explore ethical issues in health and social care research
Harvard reference style to be used, and don’t add any AI references.
