Diagnosis (1)
Primary Diagnosis:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Patho-Physiology:
A progressive disease that is associated with difficulty breathing due to severe injuries to the pulmonary alveoli. The cause of this disease is the continuous exposure to cigarette smoke either actively or passively, and contaminated environments which reduces the shortness of breath and chest tightness. COPD may appear as two distinct disorders: emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema is the broadening of the alveoli and the destruction of their walls.
Chronic bronchitis is manifested as a chronic persistent cough that produces sputum and it is not due to an apparent clinical cause, like lung cancer, but rather the dilation of the bronchial glands that causes excessive mucus secretion.
Both diseases are closely linked and often occur simultaneously, or one ends up causing the other.

Comments

Administering humidified oxygen through an appropriate device

may correct or prevent worsening of hypoxia.

Auscultating breath sounds

breath sounds may be faint because airflow or areas of consolidation.

Helping the patient perform deep breathing and controlled coughing

Observing the patient for cyanosis

...posting. As mentioned in the syllabus, I recommend you post your comments early on and not wait until the last minute, i.e. 11:58PM. Starting tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8, you should also visit the discussion forum more than indicated on our weekly schedule. Imagine being in a “real” class where you might want to engage in class discussions. When you “engage,” you’ll respond to comments made by other students, which will create lively discussions. So, in other words, students in discussion forums earn top grades if they participate (i.e. post more than one thoughtful and interesting post) as this active participation is critical for your learning experience in an online format. One thing about the online format is that you cannot “hide.” You will get no credit if you don’t “say” something (so, in that way, an online class might be more difficult). As your instructor, I will facilitate our discussions and might comment on this or that post and share ideas but I will not address each and every post. I will check and read your discussions on a regular bases. Please read below some of the guidelines for successful participation and its subsequent Discussion Participation Rubric (from ww2.nau.edu/d-elearn/support/tutorials/discrubrics/disc1.php which I found very useful.

Managing Crowds in Innovation Challenges

...innovation challenges, there appears to be a growing consensus that innovation challenges do not succeed at generating solutions with competitive advantage potential. This article presents three ways in which managers can assure that their innovation challenges are fruitful: foster different crowd roles to encourage contribution diversity; offer knowledge integration instructions and dual incentives; and offer explicit instructions for sharing different types of knowledge. (Keywords: Creative Collaboration, Innovation, Creativity, Crowdsourcing, Open Innovation) I nnovation challenges, also known as innovation tournaments and idea contests, are a manifestation of crowdsourcing.1 When running an innovation challenge, a company posts an open call on the Web to solicit solutions from a diverse range of individuals. For example, GE’s Innovation Challenge solicited new technologies for its sustainability product line and a Lego Challenge asked the public to suggest unique Lego products as new revenue streams. By 2017, over half of consumer goods producers are projected to employ crowdsourcing for 75% of their consumer innovations.2 Despite the popularity of innovation challenges, there is a growing consensus that the current manner in which innovation challenges are implemented fails to yield solutions that provide the competitive advantage potential sought by the companies sponsoring the Challenges.3 Competitive advantage potential as judged by executives at the...

Case: Acme Manufacturing Company Case & United Machine Workers

...Case: Acme Manufacturing Company Case & United Machine Workers Introduction to the case analysis The legal aspect of every contract in business requires critical analysis for every term in accordance to the specifics upon which both parties are involved. The reason for analyzing such terms carefully is because it can become a crucial part in determining the decision making when addressing any business problem. This is generally more important from the perspective of the company management because some situations can result in high intensity and significance for the company. Analyzing the terms of a contract will help avoid any inappropriate or insufficient conclusions when presenting a final resolution in times of a dispute. The case to be evaluated in this assignment is the result from an opposing perception of an issue in which both party’s are involved. The grievance is the result from the opposing views on a subordination matter; that of the management’s perspective and that of the employee. The case to be evaluated can very easily occur in an actual situation and I would like to write this analysis from the management’s perspective. Summary of the issue(s) The problem involves the contradicting views of a legal issue within the union contract reached between our firm, the Acme Manufacturing Company (the company) and the United Machine Workers Union (the union). The parties in question in the dispute are Mrs. Kyla Martin, a machine operator working in...

Here are a few things: * If you must be "over the top" with your profile, have an alias * Keep everything set to private - seriously, young adults don't do this - but assume everything you post is public * Get a professional (5-10 years older than you) to look at your Twitter, Facebook, etc. and tell you if any of your pictures or posts are questionable * Have profiles with different audiences in mind - such as Linkdin; use an alias for different Twitter feeds * Don't be "friends" with your boss unless you two are truly friends outside of work * Never "friend" students or their parents * Form "groups" within Facebook so you can harness it's power but not be friends with students * Do occasional online audits to see what others can find out about you * Never comment on a student or on your work http://teaching.monster.com/benefits/articles/8068--10-things-a-teacher-should-never-do http://career-advice.monster.com/job-search/career-assessment/11-ways-to-hurt-your-career/article...

...contacts, create new ideas and strengthen existing products. Social media easily gives any business interaction with their chosen target market, including answering customer’s questions, and carrying out market research. Instagram is an application that allows people to create a profile where they can share images and videos online, to anyone in the world. This multimedia-sharing app is used widely for businesses such as retailers and restaurants, and it is becoming more vital for a business to use Instagram for advertising and promoting themselves. From September 2015, Instagram currently has over 400 million users, and 80 million posts on average are made every day. One of the main and most important features of Instagram is the hashtag. When someone makes a post on Instagram they can use hashtags to dramatically increase how many people are viewing their post, which will lead to masses of people liking photos and then letting their friends (or followers) see as well. Businesses can use hashtags to promote their products/services through simple keywords, and at the same time potential customers can search for exactly what they want within any market. Hashtags can also be used by a business as a method of market research as they can easily see what competitors in the same market are offering, and can work out what they have to do to make their products/services better, so that they can appeal to customers even further. “Hello Cupcakes” is a small Indonesian company that uses Instagram...
