A 6-month-old male patient presents to your clinic with his mother. The mother’s chief complaint is that the baby has had a fever and diarrhea for several days and is not nursing as much as usual. The infant is quiet and warm, lung sounds are clear, heart sounds normal. No medical history, born healthy at 39 weeks 5 days via uncomplicated vaginal delivery, he is exclusively breastfed and is up-to-date on his vaccinations. 
What are 5 questions you would ask the mother next?(Include rationales for questions)
What additional signs/symptoms would alert you that this infant may need to be transferred to the ER?
What are your top 3 differential diagnoses? (Include ICD codes and rationales)

Using the South University Online Library or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website Centers for Disease Control ans Prevention
research and locate data charts and tables relating to the statistical
findings and Epidemiological Study of the group selected topic. Each CDC featured outbreak includes Highlights, At- A- Glance, and Epi Curves
to assist with the collection of this research. As a group and based on
this research, determine the data to use from these sites and agree
upon each individual’s assigned task(s).
Disease: MonkeyPox
Task: Provide A description of the data in terms of person, place, and time.

I need 7 concept maps (care plans) for 7 topics by Tuesday night.
1. COPD

I attached a sample and the template you will use. The 5 lower boxes should have 5 each.

Discussion week 2.
In your own words, describe the difference between euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide.
Select an argument for or against either euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide. How would you defend your argument
Can I ask you to take information from the above book and put it in references?

Complete the case study specific to your nursing program:
Nursing Administrator Case Study
You are
the nurse manager in a a small department within the 400– bed Médica Sur Lomas
hospital, in which most of the patients speak English as a second language.
During a recent interdepartmental meeting, the infection control department
reported a two-times increase in D from last year. Knowing the significant
financial impact of hospital-acquired infections and accreditation standards,
this issue must immediately be addressed by your department.
As the
nurse manager, you are charged with evaluating this problem and implementing a
quality improvement process to reverse these reported levels. Your team is not
pleased that they have been asked to spearhead this initiative and already feel
overworked. Your goal is to implement a quality improvement process that
addresses risk factors, medication use, compliance, and information literacy
based on a facility risk assessment.
This
proposal must identify the accreditation standard that is impacted by increased
infection rates, the fiscal and physical impact of increased infection rates,
processes to be implemented to bring about the desired change, along with an
evaluation method for the stated plan. Utilize Lewin’s theory of change with
examples of how you will address the different stages, along with a process
improvement model that will be embraced by your team.
Please use increase in CAUTI.

Instructions:
Consider each of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness and the exemplars within each dimension. Download the Covey Matrix template Download Covey Matrix templateand add each of the 20 exemplars to your template. Then analyze your results. Be descriptive and thorough in your responses.
1. Consider where you placed the exemplars. Discuss item(s) that you previously thought were important or urgent, but, ultimately, were categorized as less urgent or important.
2. What can you delegate to someone else? How can you ease your load to be able to focus on urgent/important tasks?
3. What items did you identify as ‘time-wasters’ or tasks that distract you (not urgent/not important)? What is your strategy to reduce or eliminate these items?
4. For tasks you prioritized as urgent/important, what is your plan to ensure they are all completed on time? 
Overview:
“Wellness is a broad concept. In this guide, we attempt to provide a broad, yet specific sense of what it means. We invite you to think of wellness as meaning being healthy in many dimensions of our lives. That includes the emotional, physical, occupational, intellectual, financial, social, environmental, and spiritual parts. These dimensions are interconnected, one dimension building on another…When we worry about money (for example, debt or being able to afford what we need), we sometimes experience anxiety (emotional). This can lead to medical problems (physical), and trouble at work (occupational). When this happens, we may even question our own sense of meaning and purpose (spiritual). At the same time, when we are not working (occupational), we may lose opportunities to interact with others (social), and may not be able to afford the good food and medical care we need to stay well (physical). We may even need to move our home to a place that feels less safe and secure (environmental)” (SAMHSA, n.d., p. 3). 
Read the ‘Creating a Healthier Life: A Step by Step Guide to Wellness’Links to an external site. to learn more about the dimensions of wellness.
This assignment will combine the Eight Dimensions of Wellness and how you prioritize tasks. Creating a Covey Matrix will help you visualize which everyday tasks and wellness items are most urgent and important in your life…and which ones are not. This is an effective tool for prioritizing and time management.
In the next assignment, you will look more in-depth at the specific dimension of Occupational Wellness. 

Prepare a narrated PowerPoint Presentation based on what you researched to complete your draft in week # 3. Please, make sure you take into consideration the feedback you received and read the rubric carefully as well as these instructions. 
Research at least three professions in your career of interest and answer the following questions.
1. What are your three chosen professions? What similar and/or different skill sets did you find among the three professions? (Critical Thinking, Communication, Emotional Intelligence.)
2. What are the educational and professional experience requirements for the three occupations? (licenses/certifications, required years working in the field, degree attained.)
3. What FNU resources on campus can help you gain experience in any of your three career interests? Explain how these resources can help you. 
The presentation must be narrated, and you must include a references slide formatting your sources in the APA 7 format. Use the rubric for additional guidance.
