A group of nursing students wanted to learn more about the health behaviors of adolescents

A group of nursing students wanted to learn more about the health behaviors of adolescents in their community. They decided to have students at the local high school complete a questionnaire about their health behaviors. After the adolescents completed the questionnaire, the nursing students reviewed the responses and tallied the results. They discovered that over half of the adolescents who completed the questionnaire engaged in risky sexual behaviors. They reviewed the literature, which stated that sexually transmitted infection (STI) rates in this population are on the rise. The nursing students decided to educate the adolescents about safe sexual practices and the prevention of STI transmission. The overall goal of the program was to decrease the number of adolescents engaged in risky sexual behaviors. The nursing students developed the following objectives and teaching strategies for this educational program: To instill adolescents with an intrinsic motivation to become aware of their own risky sexual behavior through class discussions and cooperative learning exercises  To promote safe sexual practices with the adolescents through demonstration of appropriate safe sex practices and inquiry-guided instruction  To develop students’ positive sexual health behaviors through scenario-based case presentations and discussions Review the Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicators (LHIs). Identify the LHI that best matches STIs and transmission through risky sexual behaviors. Critique the objectives and teaching strategies used by the student nurses. How do the objectives and teaching strategies address the identified LHI? What action by the nursing students illustrates the planning phase of the health planning model? Refer to Figure 7.2 in Community Health Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. Which system level is primarily being addressed through the educational program? Refer to Box 7-2 in Community Health Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation. What level of prevention is being applied by the educational program that the nursing students are providing? Refer to your textbook for levels of prevention. Cite specific examples from practice or literature.BOX7.2.docx

A male went to the emergency room for severe mid-epigastric abdominal pain He was diagnosed

A male went to the emergency room for severe mid-epigastric abdominal pain. He was diagnosed with AAA; however, as a precaution, the doctor ordered a CTA scan.  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.THEQUESTIONAbdomen.docxTHERUBRICAbdomen.docxRESOURCESForAbdomen.docxTHESAMPLEAbdomen.docx

A 44-year-old white Australian man who was not religious was referred to outpatient psychiatric treatment.

A 44-year-old white Australian man who was not religious was referred to outpatient psychiatric treatment. He had been playing with an Ouija board for two months when he started to believe that a spirit had entered his body through his rectum and was controlling him. He thought the spirit made him move and speak in a certain way. He sought help from a local church, where he was told it was a psychiatric problem and that he was not really possessed. Two exorcisms at a local church failed to achieve any improvement.
