The m ajor paper has been reduced to an assessment in which I ask you to identify a marketing problem within your company or one you find elsewhere. I would encourage you to identify one within your own organization. These will not be shared with the class, so you will have my confidentiality.
Introduce the problem
Describe how you would research solutions
How would you best implement corrective action
And, most importantly to the analysis that this course is focused on— how would you assess whether the corrective action was actually successful.

Episotic/focusedaAssessment of the Abdomen

Assessing the Abdomen

A woman went to the emergency room for
severe abdominal cramping. She was diagnosed with diverticulitis; however, as a
precaution, the doctor ordered a CT scan. The CT scan revealed a growth on the
pancreas, which turned out to be pancreatic cancer—the real cause of the
cramping.
Because of a high potential for
misdiagnosis, determining the precise cause of abdominal pain can be time
consuming and challenging. By analyzing case studies of abnormal abdominal
findings, nurses can prepare themselves to better diagnose conditions in the
abdomen.
In this Lab Assignment, you will analyze an
Episodic note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a
clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the
patients as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be
conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several
possible conditions.
To Prepare
Review the Episodic note case study your
instructor provides you for this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course
Announcements” section of the classroom for your Episodic note case study.
With regard to the Episodic note case study provided:

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.
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.

The Assignment
Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List
additional information that should be included in the documentation.
Analyze the objective portion of the note. List
additional information that should be included in the documentation.
Is the assessment supported by the subjective and
objective information? Why or why not?
What diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this
case, and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or
why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a
differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at
least three different references from current evidence-based literature.

Grading Rubric:

regard to the SOAP note case study provided, address the following:

Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List
additional information that should be included in the documentation.
The
response clearly, accurately, and thoroughly analyzes the subjective portion of
the SOAP note and lists detailed additional information to be included in the
documentation.

Analyze
the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be
included in the documentation.
The
response clearly, accurately, and thoroughly analyzes the objective portion of
the SOAP note and lists detailed additional information to be included in the
documentation.

Is
the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or
why not?
The
response clearly and accurately identifies whether or not the assessment is
supported by the subjective and/or objective information, with a thorough and
detailed explanation.
What
diagnostic tests would be appropriate for this case, and how would the results
be used to make a diagnosis?
The
response thoroughly and accurately describes appropriate diagnostic tests for
the case and explains clearly, thoroughly, and accurately how the test results
would be used to make a diagnosis.
·
Would you reject or accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not?
· Identify three possible conditions
that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain
your reasoning using at least three different references from current
evidence-based literature.
The
response states clearly whether to accept or reject the current diagnosis, with
a thorough, accurate, and detailed explanation of sound reasoning. The response
clearly, thoroughly, and accurately identifies three conditions as a
differential diagnosis, with reasoning that is explained clearly, accurately,
and thoroughly using at least three different references from current
evidence-based literature.

Case
Study

In this Assessment 1
Assignment, you will analyze an Episodic Note case study that describes

as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate
a differential diagnosis with several possible
conditions. Just add in what you want to
this case to make it unique to you. Do not use NA or normal.

Benchmark – Nursing Process: Approach to Care

The nursing process is a tool that puts knowledge into practice. By utilizing this systematic problem-solving method, nurses can determine the health care needs of an individual and provide personalized care.
Write a paper on cancer and approach to care based on the utilization of the nursing process. Include the following in your paper:
1. Describe the diagnosis and staging of cancer.
2. Describe at least three complications of cancer, the side effects of treatment, and methods to lessen physical and psychological effects.
3. Discuss what factors contribute to the yearly incidence and mortality rates of various cancers in Americans.
