...Adverse Trend and Data Management University of Phoenix Health Care Informatics HCS482 Richard Ong September 23, 2013 Adverse Trend and Data Management Part I: Step by step guide: Adverse Trend: Immobility. Immobility in hospitalized patients is one of the main risk factors contributing to the development of pressure ulcers. Objective: Identify risk factors related to complications secondary to immobility such as pressure ulcers on the integumentary system. Immobility also leads to other adverse effects affecting cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and musculoskeletal system as well. The assessment is performed on admission data, then once a week. The risk assessment scale used was the Risk Assessment Pressure Sore (RAPS) scale, which includes the following variables; general physical condition, activity, mobility, moisture, food intake, fluid intake, sensory perception, friction and shear, and body temperature (Lindgren & Unosson, 2004). Results: 25 % of patients developed pressure ulcers. Non-blanchable erythema was the most common pressure ulcer noted among these patients. The majority of these patients were significantly older, and hospitalized for a longer period of time. In the analysis using variables included in the RAPS scale, immobility emerged as a major risk factor. Conclusion: Immobility is the main cause of pressure ulcer development among adult hospitalized patients. Part II: After reviewing patient’s charts and documentation...

Obesity is defined as, " ...having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, fat, and/or body water. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what's considered healthy for his or her weight"(Medline Plus, 2013). Being obese increases one's risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, and even some cancers. This also increases the cost in our economy. "The economic costs from the excess morbidity and mortality attributable to obesity-related diseases go beyond health-care costs alone, perhaps most notable are the consequent losses in productivity" (Wang, McPherson, Marsh, Gortmaker, & Brown, 2011). We need to be focusing on more physical activity and better eating habits. This essay will include a literature review of three scholarly sources based on obesity, explain how academic knowledge impacts social elements of local and global communities, asses how principles of active citizenship could impact the issue of obesity within the next five years, as well as share two bogs on obesity.

...Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia has been shown to be genetic. It frequently becomes evident after stressful events. The stressful events may be emotional (such as a traumatic life event), physical (such as a motor-vehicle accident), or medical (such as certain infections). The chronic pain of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and other autoimmune diseases can trigger the development of fibromyalgia. The manner in which the brain and spinal cord process pain sensations is abnormal in fibromyalgia. The threshold at which stimuli cause pain or discomfort has been proven to be lower in fibromyalgia. The pain felt is more intense because the pain is amplified by the abnormalities in the central nervous system and in pain processing. Because of this, things that are not normally painful may be painful for someone with fibromyalgia. In addition, fibromyalgia causes the pain from any given cause to be worse. For example, a patient with fibromyalgia may find a massage painful instead of pleasant. In addition, back pain that someone without fibromyalgia experiences as moderate may be experienced as severe by someone with fibromyalgia, because the pain is amplified by abnormalities in pain processing by the central nervous system. Syndrome The defining feature of fibromyalgia is chronic widespread pain. This means pain in multiple areas of the body, most commonly in muscles, tendons, and joints. The pain is generally above and below the waist, on the left side of the...
