[Pin It]

In this Discussion, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

Assigned to one of the following specific case studies for this Discussion. Also, your Discussion post should be in the SOAP Note format, rather than the traditional narrative style Discussion posting format.

Case 2: Ankle Pain

A 46-year-old female reports pain in both of her ankles, but she is more concerned about her right ankle. She was playing soccer over the weekend and heard a “pop.” She is able to bear weight, but it is uncomfortable. In determining the cause of the ankle pain, based on your knowledge of anatomy, what foot structures are likely involved? What other symptoms need to be explored? What are your differential diagnoses for ankle pain? What physical examination will you perform? What special maneuvers will you perform? Should you apply the Ottowa ankle rules to determine if you need additional testing? SEE ATTACHMENT FOR THE ANKLE X-RAY.

To prepare:

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

•Review this week’s Learning Resources, and consider the insights they provide about the case study.

•Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient in the case study you were assigned.

•Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?

•Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

Post on 1 TO 2 PAGES OF SOAP NOTE ON : A description of the health history you would need to collect from the patient in the case study to which you were assigned. Explain what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate and how the results would be used to make a diagnosis. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis, and justify why you selected each. Include how the patient X-ray helped you to refine the differential diagnosis.

Of the 12 principles of child development and learning set forth in the NAEYC Position Statement on pages 10–16 of the Copple and Bredekamp course text, briefly describe three that were of greatest interest to you. Additionally, for each one, share an implication you see for early childhood professionals.

Drawing from information in the readings and Program 3 on the DVD, explain why developmentally appropriate practice cannot be defined as a set of activities or strategies but rather as a complex decision-making process. Describe the considerations that are involved in this process.

Using the points in “Bridging Cultural Differences” on page 46 and the related question in the FAQs on pages 331–332 of the Copple and Bredekamp course text, explain in your own words the responsibility of an early childhood professional when a family’s cultural practices may conflict with developmentally appropriate practice and suggest two or three strategies for how to respond in sensitive and respectful ways

Health Care and Its Related Issues

There are several ways to measure the health status of a community or an entire population. In order to understand the implications of legal and regulatory policies in health care promotion and wellness, it is mandatory to analyze the impact of the social needs of local populations on their health care issues.

Based on your understanding of the topic, create a report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following questions:

What are the benefits measuring the health status of individuals aged fifteen to sixty four years in a particular community or an entire population? What effect do these benefits have on the health status of the community or the entire population?
Which one health statistic has had the most significant impact on the health care profession in the entire US or your community in the last year? Discuss.
Identify one major local social issue currently being addressed by the local elected officials (major, governor, or town council).
What ramifications does this issue have on the local population?
Does this issue have any legal impact on the community? Why or why not?

For a successful health status of a community, school health is critical to our future. How can we incorporate a program within the school focusing on the safety and well-being of students along with the social needs and health care issues?

If you are asked to develop a school health policy for an elementary school, who would be the stakeholders in this process?
What types of resources will you need to develop a program?
How will the focus of the program target health promotion or wellness?
What considerations should be taken into consideration when developing the program, such as the physical and social environment?
What factors are taken into consideration when developing a program targeting elementary school age children versus adult?
What anticipated or perceived objections would you expect?
As we continue to move in the twenty first century, what elementary school health or safety issues are emerging

Every company gathers information on customer preferences and buying history in order to improve their long-term customer relationships. Maintaining a customer database requires protecting the confidentiality of the information.

She would like to implement a process of using a database to assist her company in its marketing efforts. She is also concerned about online privacy versus off-line privacy.

Now, respond to the following:

How would you address Sara’s concern about the level of privacy in an online versus off-line database?
What are ways in which she might be able to use the database for better understanding consumer behavior and building customer relationships? Provide at least five such ways.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation
