I do not need an intro or conclusion for this. Each bullet point needs answered and there must be a visual chart as well as stated in the second bullet point.
Using the first public health issue that you discussed in W1 Assignment 3, select two individual health behavior theories and apply them to that issue. Identify at least two theories or frameworks that can be used to understand your public health issue. Examine the theories and apply them to the topic. In your paper:
Case study 1 and 2 Lyme Disease and Peripheral Vascular Disease
Students much review the case study and answer all questions with a scholarly response using APA and include 2 scholarly references. Answer both case studies on the same document and upload 1 document to Moodle.
The answers must be in your own words with reference to journal or book where you found the evidence to your answer. Do not copy paste or use a past students work as all files submited in this course are registered and saved in turn it in program.
, must be your own work and in your own words. . Copy paste from websites or textbooks will not be accepted or tolerated. Please see College Handbook with reference to Academic Misconduct Statement.
All answers to case studies must have reference cited in text for each answer and minimum of 2 Scholarly References (Journals, books) (No websites) per case Study
Lyme Disease Case Study A 38-year-old male had a 3-week history of fatigue and lethargy with intermittent complaints of headache, fever, chills, myalgia, and arthralgia. According to the history, the patient’s symptoms began shortly after a camping vacation. He recalled a bug bite and rash on his thigh immediately after the trip. The following studies were ordered: Studies Results Lyme disease test, Elevated IgM antibody titers against Borrelia burgdorferi (normal: low) Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), 30 mm/hour (normal: ≤15 mm/hour) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), 32 units/L (normal: 8-20 units/L) Hemoglobin (Hgb), 12 g/dL (normal: 14-18 g/dL) Hematocrit (Hct), 36% (normal: 42%-52%) Rheumatoid factor (RF), Negative (normal: negative) Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Negative (normal: negative) Diagnostic Analysis Based on the patient’s history of camping in the woods and an insect bite and rash on the thigh, Lyme disease was suspected. Early in the course of this disease, testing for specific immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibodies against B. burgdorferi is the most helpful in diagnosing Lyme disease. An elevated ESR, increased AST levels, and mild anemia are frequently seen early in this disease. RF and ANA abnormalities are usually absent.
Critical Thinking Questions 1. What is the cardinal sign of Lyme disease? (always on the boards) 2. At what stages of Lyme disease are the IgG and IgM antibodies elevated? 3. Why was the ESR elevated? 4. What is the Therapeutic goal for Lyme Disease and what is the recommended treatment.
Peripheral Vascular Disease Case Studies A 52-year-old man complained of pain and cramping in his right calf caused by walking two blocks. The pain was relieved with cessation of activity. The pain had been increasing in frequency and intensity. Physical examination findings were essentially normal except for decreased hair on the right leg. The patient’s popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulses were markedly decreased compared with those of his left leg. Studies Results Routine laboratory work Within normal limits (WNL) Doppler ultrasound systolic pressures Femoral: 130 mm Hg; popliteal: 90 mm Hg; posterior tibial: 88 mm Hg; dorsalis pedis: 88 mm Hg (normal: same as brachial systolic blood pressure) Arterial plethysmography Decreased amplitude of distal femoral, popliteal, dorsalis pedis, and posterior tibial pulse waves Femoral arteriography of right leg Obstruction of the femoral artery at the midthigh level Arterial duplex scan Apparent arterial obstruction in the superficial femoral artery Diagnostic Analysis With the clinical picture of classic intermittent claudication, the noninvasive Doppler and plethysmographic arterial vascular study merely documented the presence and location of the arterial occlusion in the proximal femoral artery. Most vascular surgeons prefer arteriography to document the location of the vascular occlusion. The patient underwent a bypass from the proximal femoral artery to the popliteal artery. After surgery he was asymptomatic.
Critical Thinking Questions 1. What was the cause of this patient’s pain and cramping? 2. Why was there decreased hair on the patient’s right leg? 3. What would be the strategic physical assessments after surgery to determine the adequacy of the patient’s circulation? 4. What would be the treatment of intermittent Claudication for non-occlusion?

Physical Clinical Epidemiology: The Essentials 5th (2012)

In this unit you will examine the critical roles that physical activity, nutrition counseling, and stress management play in the role of prevention and health promotion.
Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress Management
Food and nutrition, along with exercise and stress management, play a vital role in a person’s overall health. This unit will examine a variety of subjects including the Healthy People 2020 and Dietary guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 nutrition objectives, which is the most current diet recommendations to reduce the risks of developing nutrition-related diseases.
Healthy people 2020 objectives for physical activity aim to improve health and fitness and the quality of life through physical activity. The prevalence of overweight children, adolescents and overweight or obese adults, has increased in the United States and is now considered an epidemic. As our healthcare system is moving towards a preventative model, primary care providers must facilitate a wellness attitude in their patients. There are populations at greater risk for obesity based on race and/or authenticity. Physical activity, as an intervention, often promotes a sense of well-being, and aids in stress reduction.
Health, and the ability to cope effectively with the multiple demands of work/life balance, requires management of stress. The master’s-prepared registered nurse can assist people to cope more effectively with actual and potential stressors they may encounter. Nutrition, exercise, and stress management, are all components that influence health promotion, disease prevention and symptom management.
A nurse assisting with a surgical procedure at the Bella Hospital fails to remove a surgical sponge before the surgeon closes the incision. Discuss the aspects of liability, malpractice, and negligence as it relates to this situation. Also, include how you as a “Manager” would educate others to view this as an opportunity for improvement. Include material from our readings and utilize the university library to research at least 4 current scholarly, peer-reviewed references published within the past 5 years. Cite all references and utilize APA format.
