Mucormycosis is a rare infection caused by organisms that belong to a group of fungi (CDC, 2013).

Hello i need a Good and Positive Comment related with this argument .A paragraph with no more 100 words.
Katy Morris
Mucormycosis is a rare infection caused by organisms that belong to a group of fungi (CDC, 2013). These fungi are typically found in the soil and in association with decaying organic matter, such as leaves, compost piles or rotten wood (CDC, 2013). The infection is more common among people with weakened immune systems, but it can occur, rarely, in people who are otherwise healthy (CDC, 2013). In the pulmonary or sinus form of infection, exposure occurs by inhaling fungal spores from the environment (CDC, 2013). Lung infection, or pulmonary mucormycosis, is pneumonia that gets worse quickly and may spread to the chest cavity, heart, and brain (CDC, 2013). Medical/nursing interventions that would be helpful in treating the patient include antifungal medications to slow or halt fungal spread (The New York Times, 2017). Amphotericin B, initially intravenous, is the usual drug of choice for antifungal treatment (The New York Times, 2017). In addition, placing the patient on supplemental oxygen would be helpful due to the patient having pneumonia and that causes it to be difficult to breathe. Laboratory values that are considered abnormal include the patients HCO3, PO4, fasting glucose, WBC, lymphocytes, pH, PaO2, PaCO2. Patients HCO3 is 29 and the normal value is 22-28. Patients PO4 is 2.9 and the normal value is 3.0-4.5. Patients fasting glucose is 138 and the normal value is less than 100. Patients WBC count is 15.2 and the normal value is 3,500-10,500. Patients lymphocytes are 10% and the normal value is 20-40%. Patients pH is 7.50 and the normal value is 7.35-7.45. Patients PaO2 is 59 and normal value is 75-100. Patients PaCO2 is 25 and normal value is 38-42. The abnormal ABG information means that the patient is in partially compensated respiratory alkalosis (McAuley, 2017). The patient has increased WBC count due to infection of the pneumonia. Patients lymphocytes are decreased due to an infection. The increased fasting blood glucose levels means that the patient is more susceptible to infection, in this case making the patient susceptible to pneumonia. Medications that are likely to be prescribed by the physician could be Amphotericin B-an antifungal medication to slow or halt fungal spread, Insulin due to an increased blood glucose level, and Prednisone to help with inflammation and improve breathing. Treatments likely to be prescribed by the physician could be Nebulizer breathing treatments to help improve breathing, supplemental O2 to improve breathing and increase oxygen saturation, and IV fluids to help ensure the patient is hydrated because if the patient becomes dehydrated more issues could arise.

How do the concepts of belongingness, emotional intelligence, resilience and communication impact the practice of the novice Registered Nurse?

/0 Comments/in /by

You will write a 2,000-word formal, academic essay in response to the following: How do the concepts of belongingness, emotional intelligence, resilience and communication impact the practice of the novice Registered Nurse? In considering these concepts, how does the novice Registered Nurse utilise them to facilitate person centred care? In your appraisal, you must make explicit reference to the academic literature and regulatory standards relevant to the topic.

Additional information and resources about the assessment care in ‘How to Complete the Task and Assignment’ resources below.

Your essay must include references to support and illustrate your argument. You must use the Harvard Referencing system for in-text references and your reference list for ALL material which is not your own. This includes academic references, quality primary sources e.g. Government websites, images apart from your own, and online articles. There are examples of how to do this in the Harvard Referencing system guide.

As you prepare your assignment, remember to refer to the feedback rubric which explains how your assessment will be marked.

How to complete the task and assignment resources The assignment asks you to identify the key features of belongingness, emotional intelligence, resilience and communication and evaluate how the novice Registered Nurse can use these concepts/skills in their nursing practice and to support the delivery of person-centred health care. Your critical analysis must contain the following elements:

An introduction to the topic to orient the reader to the assignment, outlining the paper (100 words) An explanation and example(s) of the following concepts: belongingness, emotional intelligence and resilience, and effective communication (400 words) An explanation of person-centred care and its principles (350 words) Application of the above concepts to practice; including rationales in how these concepts assist new graduate nurses in their practice, to effect person-centred care. (1000 words) A conclusion summarising your essay reiterating the key findings. (150 words) A list of the references you have cited in your essay in alphabetical order. These are not included in the word-count

In your analysis, you need to consider the following: Relevant policies both at the regulatory level and at the health service level, that explore the above concepts, and frameworks that relate to principles of person centred care. Your analysis must be supported with credible, accurate, and up-to-date information from reliable academic and professional sources. These may include relevant policies at the regulatory level and at the health service level. You may refer to the required readings from your course, but you are expected to look more widely to additional literature.

You are welcome to use appropriate sub-headings to structure you essay.

Figures, tables and references are not part of the word count, but may be included as appropriate.
