NEONATAL NURSE PRACTITIONER: create a Differential Diagnostic list for each of the cases presented here.

by

Differential Diagnosis Exercises

You want to create a Differential Diagnostic list for each of the cases presented here. You want to rank the list from the most to least likely. Secondly, provide next to each of the possible diagnoses concerns from the history, PE and or test results provided that support the diagnosis, as this information will help you rank the list. Since, you have not had the pathophysiology content as yet to identify fully with the list of possible diseases you do not need to place testing and or treatments you would consider next to each.

You will notice that the cases have become more complex with an increasing amount of information provided for each. This is deliberate, first focusing on the sign/symptom providing a differential list with the information that you have and then building on more complex information that will help you to rank and state why a diagnosis would not be considered in a particular case. The focus sign/symptom is provided for you at the end of each case.

Quenchbliss Case Study: Write a SWOT Analysis
SCENARIO: Quenchbliss is a craft soda company based in El Paso, Texas. Craft sodas are more expensive, gourmet sodas, usually from small companies—the soft drink equivalent of “microbrews.” Quenchbliss’s primary business is their sodas, with smaller revenue streams from merchandise. They have an owners group of thirty shareholders but are not yet publicly traded.

They have a staff of about 80, most of whom work in the warehouse, distribution, and at a store attached to the warehouse. All operations are at the same location, from research and development, to promotions and sales, to bottling and distribution.

Because it began as a small operation and grew quickly, their organizational structure is flat and organic. “Everybody does a little bit of everything,” their founder and CEO says. Indeed, the CEO herself sometimes takes the register at the store or oversees warehouse operations.

Quenchbliss’s claim to fame is unusual flavors, like “Bacon and Eggs,” and seasonal offerings like “Thanksgiving Turkey.” They have to constantly release new flavors since their target market is focused on these new and unique flavors. In fact, one of the company’s biggest sellers is their subscriiption box, which comes out four times a year and contains a four-pack of their newest flavors and seasonal favorites. The unusual and constantly changing flavors are also what bring people into the store. Quenchbliss does produce traditional flavors like cola and lemon-lime, which they distribute through restaurants and grocery stores. These bring in reliable revenue, even if they don’t get the attention on social media of their nontraditional flavors. Several months ago, Quenchbliss went international by opening a distribution center in Juarez, Mexico. This market has little competition for craft soda, so their products have become popular. They’ve done so well, in fact, Quenchbliss is considering expanding into other international markets such as Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and Kingston, Jamaica.

However, since they have spent time, money, and energy on expansion, Quenchbliss has lost a contract with a local restaurant chain and has also seen a decrease in subscriiptions. Because of these setbacks, Quenchbliss has put expansion on hold and gone back to finding exciting new flavors by growing their product development team, a combination of food scientists and creative professionals who brainstorm how to create and market new flavors. This move has caused some internal friction, as many were excited about the continued growth of the brand. Another source of internal friction is that salaries are not keeping pace with the market, so Quenchbliss has a hard time recruiting people for lower-level jobs of production and distribution. These jobs also have high turnover.

ASSIGNMENT: For all of the Touchstones in this class, you will take on the role of an Organizational Behavior Consultant to help Quenchbliss understand and address their challenges. For this assignment, you will perform a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). In addition to providing initial analysis of the organization, you will make recommendations based on the tutorials you have read so far. For more information on SWOT analyses, see the tutorial on Internal Organizations and External Environments. You should also review the content throughout Unit 1 on internal and external environments, organizational change, and diversity in the workforce. An example SWOT analysis is provided in Section B below.

Download the Template

A. Directions
Step 1. Perform Research:
In order to effectively perform a SWOT analysis, you must do research on the company, the industry, the region, and the economy. You have the Quenchbliss scenario to tell you about the company’s strengths and weaknesses, but should find at least three outside sources of information to understand the threats and opportunities facing Quenchbliss.
Examples of specific places to research would be:
• An inventory of grocery stores in the southwestern United States to see which brands of craft soda they sell. This will tell you about the competition.
• Job sites like Indeed and LinkedIn to understand the job market in El Paso, TX, and Juarez, the border city in Chihuahua, Mexico. This will tell you about the market in this area.
• National and global information on the craft soda industry and trends for these companies.
• National and global information on the economy and the job market in general.
• The economy in downtown El Paso, particularly for “entertainment shopping,” and recreational activities that might bring foot traffic to their store.
Step 2: Develop your SWOT Analysis on Quenchbliss:
After you’ve synthesized the information, record the SWOT analysis in the template provided, answering these key points:
• What Quenchbliss does well internally.
• What weaknesses the company has internally.
• What external opportunities exist as they relate to changing demographics, new markets, or international markets.
• What external challenges they face, such as competition, consumer tastes shifts, or local economic issues.
Hint: Each bullet point should state an observation or fact, provide a source for the fact if it is not in the scenario, and a few words about why you consider it a strength, weakness, opportunity, or fact. See below for examples.
Step 3: Consider the Impact:
Select at least two items identified in your SWOT Analysis that are likely to have an effect on aspects of the internal organization, such as structure, culture, stability, and complexity. Write 2-4 paragraphs that explain why this is important and what effect it will have on the organization. Apply concepts for the course tutorials in Unit 1. See the example below for further clarification. The prompts below may help you in writing this analysis.
• What are the most significant potential impacts on Quenchbliss?
• How can Quenchbliss leverage identified strengths and opportunities to mitigate weaknesses and threats?
• What strategic recommendations would you make to address these impacts, and what are the considerations for implementing these recommendations?
• How can the company plan for and mitigate potential future threats?
Step 4: Develop strategic recommendations:
Include suggestions for Quenchbliss to leverage strengths, address weaknesses, seize opportunities, and mitigate threats. Write 2-4 paragraphs incorporating at least 2 recommendations for Quenchbliss. Each recommendation should include a brief risk analysis to anticipate potential pitfalls and propose measures to address these risks.
• How can strengths be transformed into opportunities to drive growth?
• What changes should Quenchbliss consider to turn weaknesses into strengths or opportunities?
• Identify and evaluate the potential risks associated with your recommendations.
• Propose actionable steps to mitigate identified risks.
Step 5: References:
Finally, add the references to the articles you cited in the paper. You should include at least 5 references, 2 of which can be from the Sophia Learning course tutorials. Be sure to use APA format, usually in the format shown below. Make sure any URLs are correct and do not contain any unnecessary code.

Columbo, F. & Fletcher, J. (2020, March 5). The perils of dishonesty in business. Levinson Institute of Economics.

Step 6: Submit Touchstone:
Once you have completed your analysis and reviewed the checklist below, it is time to submit your document. If you are using Microsoft Word, you simply need to save your document and upload the file to Sophia. If you are using other word processing software, export the document as a Microsoft Word document (.docx) and upload this version to Sophia. In Google Docs this is under File: Download: Microsoft Word. In Apple Keynote it is under File: Export to: Microsoft Word.
Remember to check your work! Refer to the checklist below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone Task until it meets these guidelines. ❒ Does your analysis communicate your points? ❒ Did you find at least five sources of information on competition and other environmental factors to provide a viable SWOT? ❒ Have you thought of all potential strengths, making reasonable assumptions? ❒ Have you thought of all potential weaknesses, as compared to competitors, making reasonable assumptions? ❒ Have you thought of all potential opportunities, based on research, making reasonable assumptions? ❒ Have you thought of all potential threats, based on research and by making reasonable assumptions? ❒ Have you thought of at least 2 recommendations to give Quenchbliss based off your SWOT analysis? ❒ Have you identified potential risks and mitigation strategies for the recommendations made? ❒ Have you correctly included your in-text citations and completed your Reference page using APA formatting?

B. Example
This example shows one way to do a SWOT analysis, for the other company we discuss throughout the class, Media4U. Since that company has a different story than Quenchbliss, please use this only as a reference for what a SWOT analysis looks like; do not copy the specific points.

Strengths Weaknesses
• High customer satisfaction and loyalty give Media4U reliable core business.
• Committed, creative, and diverse employees give Media4U a strong portfolio that attracts new clients.
• Ethical approach to advertising builds trust and authenticity giving a competitive edge to clients who share our values.
• Leadership committed to continuous improvement assuring that Media4U will continue to adapt to the changing environment. • Structural changes have created instability, which in turn affects employee morale.
• The Media4U brand is not well known in a highly competitive market, making it harder to attract new clients.
• While there are new hires who lead social media marketing efforts, the organization still lacks broad or deep technological knowledge making it hard to compete in this area.
• Staff feels opportunities for advancement are rare and highly competitive, making them less loyal and committed to Media4U in the long term.
Opportunities Threats
• New media marketing is a growth industry (Business Insights Today, 2024) so Media4U could meet this demand.
• Companies are looking for authenticity and DEI in advertising (Little Black Book) which are strength areas for Media4U.
• Election years always provide additional work for media companies so Media4U could focus sales in this area.
• Growth of business in DC area is good opportunity for new client relationships, so Media4U could focus on building relationships with new businesses. • AI is threat to conventional media creation (Anderson, 2024) changing the media landscape in ways we can’t anticipate.
• Other companies have more tech savvy in areas like digital marketing and data analytics so we must catch up if we want to stay relevant.
• Political clients can lead to blowback from clients (AAF, 2024) so we must be careful about committing to divisive candidates.
• Advertising companies outpacing other businesses for growth in DC area, meaning more competition for new clients and even maintaining current clients.
Impact
Media4U is facing some challenges which threaten the stability of the organization. In particular, they lag on technological capacity. They have made some gains in this area by adding a social media marketing department, but still have limited resources in this area and furthermore have trouble recruiting and training staff who have this knowledge. Further change is needed to stay competitive. Media4U is at a crucial stage in the business life cycle, one where organizational decisions can lead to decline or renewal based on willingness to make deep changes (“Organizational Change”, n.d.)
In addressing this need, the organization should consider a “bottom-up” approach to making organizational changes, since without employee buy-in there is likely to be continued friction and even resentment. One tried-and-true approach that would be effective for Media4U is a “5-D” process. Following this model, leadership would create a cross-organizational committee to define their goals for the future, discover (do initial learning about the environment), dream and design (create a broad vision for their organization, and identify specific ways to achieve it) and ultimately determine the organization’s destiny (“Appreciative Inquiry”, n.d.). Each member of the committee can also meet with their respective departments, so all points of view are represented and the change has organization-wide commitment.

Moreover, it is important to consider all stakeholders in these decisions, especially existing (especially long-term) clients. An open meeting for all stakeholders where a trained facilitator helps them explore ideas for the future would assure that organizational changes are consistent with what other stakeholders (such as clients and the community) want from Media4U and help avoid further instability (“Complex Adaptive Systems”, n.d.). These stakeholders also have ideas and beliefs that need to be part of their vision.

Choose a pharmacologic intervention for Margo.

by

Margo is a 49-year-old divorced woman who works as a bank teller. She tells her primary care provider (PCP) that she feels tired all the time and that she is gaining weight because she has no interest in her usual exercise activities, and that she has been overeating, even though she is often not really hungry.

She notices that she has difficulty falling asleep at night and awakens around 4 a.m. most mornings, without her alarm, and cannot go back to sleep even though she still feels tired.

She finds little joy in her life but cannot pinpoint any particular concern or event causing this problem. The PCP asks Angela to fill out a Beck’s Depression Scale, which indicates she has moderate depression.

Choose a pharmacologic intervention for Margo.
Provide Margo with written education regarding her prescriiption. (Include what she should expect when first taking the drug, appropriate activity warnings, when to expect improvement, side effects she may experience, and anything she should report to the provider).

One of the questions on the survey is “in what city are you currently living in?”

by

A survey was administered to a total of 10,000 randomly selected people who live in North Carolina (Grand Total). The survey was about the quality of life of those living in the state of North Carolina.

One of the questions on the survey is “in what city are you currently living in?” The following are the frequencies for the number of people that responded to living in a specific city:

Raleigh = 2,135
Charlotte = 1,162
Greensboro = 986
Winston-Salem = 432
Durham = 3,100
Chapel Hill = 789
Asheville = 373
Missing (no response to this question) = 1,023

Create a table similar to Table 2.5 on page 41 of Hanneman’s Text. Follow the similar procedure for creating the table as I showed you on the Excel videos that I posted on canvas.

When creating the tables, make sure you have the data entered that is valid and also missing similar to the layout of Table 2.5. Use this table and my videos to layout your table in excel and values calculated. My videos for excel walk you through you the formulas.

Compute the valid frequency total, the grand frequency total (valid plus missing), all percent column data values (valid and missing), the total for the percent column (valid part total and the grant percentage total with the missing percentage value included), the valid percent column along with the column percentage total, and the cumulative percentages. Again, see table 2.5 in the text and your layout should be exactly the same way.
