Diagnosis and Treatment

You are seeing a 46-year-old female named Ms. Jones who presents for an episodic visit. Ms. Jones presents with a rash in her hair line. Ms. Jones states the rash is itchy and she notices a lot of dandruff in her hair. The rash started as red spots on the nap of the neck and quickly spread to the entire hair line with thick scaly patches of skin. Ms. Jones past medical history includes arthritis and bipolar disorder. She was recently increased on her lithium dose and feels her mood swings have stabilized.

#1. Write the History of Present Illness for this patient’s case. (All students must answer this question )

#2. What additional questions would you ask that are relevant to this case? (Ask as many as you would like here)

#3. What assessment findings do you expect on exam?

#4. With the limited information you currently have, looking at the patient’s history: What is the patient at risk for developing?

Quantitive Research study critique

Find a research article from a peer-reviewed journal using the Waldorf Online Library databases, and save it as a PDF file. It should be a new article for you that you have not read about in the course or the textbook. Make sure the article is about a quantitative research study and not a theory article, literature review, or case study. To complete this assignment, you will complete the items below.
Write an article critique, noting the strengths and weaknesses of the research design, the content of the article itself, and whether or not you think the results can be generalized to a larger population.
Save the critique as a Word file, and submit it along with the PDF file of the article you read.
Your article critique should include a title page, one to two pages of text, and a references page.
All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced per APA format; all paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

You will combine at least two sources of data (Provided link above), tidy the resulting datasets, and create summary statistics and visualizations. By completing this assignment, you will produce:
✓ A report (a knitted R Markdown file)

When combining, the resulting/final dataset must have at least 50 observations
(i.e., rows), at least 4 different variables in addition to the variables in common between the
datasets, This is an important part of starting your project: finding the data. You need to find two datasets (i already found and provide the link above) with one variable in common (e.g., states, countries,…)

***THE VARIABLE IN COMMON FOR SOURCES THAT I PROVIDE IS stateID I think. you can change it if you think is wrong.**

Should Athletes take Creatine

The ergogenic aid project will require the student to perform research on commercially available substances purported to improve performance or health. Students will be assigned an ergogenic aid and a scenario. They will then be asked to conclude, based on the research, whether the substance would be of benefit to the person in their scenario.

My Instructor asks for very specific details about the report.
1- the report must be between 1000-1200 word
2- the report must have 6 paragraphs: a introduction, 4 body, and a conclusion
3- the introduction must have background information, a scope, a debate and a thesis with THREE reasons with parallel grammar.
4- 3 body pargragh arguing for your point using the THREE reasons with at least one citation and after each citation write an interpretive move.
5- the fourth body paragraph must be a counter argument with at least one citation and after each citation write an interpretive move.
6- there must be 6 citations in the four body paragraphs (at least one of them is figure or you can use 2 figure maximum) using only 4 sources only. if you are using figures from (Statista.com and similar websites only for statistics) it is not considered in the 4 sources.
there are some more instructions, but I think it would be easier to provide a sample.
I will attach a report sample provided by the professor. And, the rubric for the report.
