Graphs for Modeling Real-World Situations

Post 1: Initial Response

Imagine a real-world situation that involves relationships that can be modeled with a graph. A graph consists of a discrete number of vertices and the edges that connect them. When brainstorming the situation you would like to model with a graph, review the examples that have been presented in your unit readings and homework exercises for ideas.

1. Consider a situation in your personal or professional world that involves relationships that can be modeled with a graph. Describe this situation in at least one well-composed paragraph, sharing:
   • A brief description of the situation modeled,
   • What each vertex represents, and
   • What each edge represents.
2. Draw a connected graph using a drawing program of your choice and include it in your post. The following must be present in your graph:
   • 5–10 vertices, each clearly labeled with a single capital letter (A, B, C, D, E …)
   • At least 2 vertices of degree 3 or more (the degree of a vertex is the count of how many edges are attached to that vertex).
   • At least 1 circuit.

Review a classmate’s post and consider their real-world context. Address all of the following items. For all references used, please cite them in APA format. No explanations may be taken directly word for word from another source.

1. In your own words, explain to your classmate what is required for a trail or circuit to be a Euler trail or circuit.
2. Does a Euler trail exist for their graph? Explain specifically using the label and degree of each vertex.
3. Does a Euler circuit exist for their graph? Explain specifically using the label and degree of each vertex.

Post 3: Reply to Another Classmate

Review a different classmate’s post and consider their real-world context. Address all of the following items. For all references used, please cite them in APA format. No explanations may be taken directly word for word from another source.

1. In your own words, explain to your classmate what is required for a walk to be a Hamiltonian path or cycle.
2. Identify one sequence of vertices that makes either a Hamiltonian path or a Hamiltonian cycle.
3. Based on the context of your classmate’s situation modeled by the graph, think about whether it would be most practical to seek a Euler trail or circuit versus a Hamiltonian path or cycle. Which one do you think would be more useful in your classmate’s situation and why?

 For this , you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for :

 Chief Complaint
(CC) “I have a tumor on my left breast” 

 History of Present Illness (HPI)A 55-year-old African American social worker presents to your clinic with a finding of a lump in her left breast while in the shower this past week.

In sitting position, no evidence of skin changes, right breast is slightly larger than the left, symmetrical movement with the arms above the head and at the side and with flexion of the pectoral muscles; 5-mm nonmobile, non-tender, firm mass felt at 10 o’clock position, 5 cm from the areola. Right breast without dominant masses or tenderness. Nipples without inversion or evidence of nipple discharge. Breast mass is palpated in the supine position in the same manner as in the sitting position

 MSMuscles are smooth, firm, symmetrical. Full ROM. No pain or tenderness on palpation. 

 answer the following questions:

1. What other subjective data would you obtain?
2. What other objective findings would you look for?
3. What diagnostic examination do you want to order?
4. Name 3 differential diagnoses based on this patient presenting symptoms?
5. Give rationales for your each differential diagnosis.
6. What teachings will you provide?

REQUIREMENTS:

at least 500 words ( 2 complete pages of content) formatted and cited in current APA style 7 ed  with support from at least 3 academic sources which need to be journal articles or books from 2019 up to now. NO WEBSITES allowed for reference entry. Include doi, page numbers, etc. Plagiarism must be less than 10%.

You have probably seen one or more of the many inspirational posters about decisions. A visual such as a forked road or a street sign is typically pictured, along with a quote designed to inspire.

Decisions are often not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing a specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan for success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area where your network can help, as well as other sources of information that can help you make an informed choice.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, initial postings to Discussions are due on or before Day 3, and response postings are due on or before Day 6. You are required to participate in the Discussion on at least three different days (a different day for main post and each response). It is important to adhere to the weekly time frame to allow others ample time to respond to your posting. In addition, you are expected to respond to questions directed toward your own initial posting in a timely manner.

To Prepare:

Reflect on your decision to pursue a specialty within the MSN program, including your professional and academic goals as they relate to your program/specialization.

 Post an explanation of your choice of a nursing specialty within the program. Describe any difficulties you had (or are having) in making your choice, and the factors that drove/are driving your decision. Identify at least one professional organization affiliated with your chosen specialty and provide details on becoming a member. 

Goal:

Analyze and evaluate a middle range theory.  You will select a middle range theory and identify application of nursing theories into clinical practice.

Content Requirements:

1. Components of the theory
   • Discuss the major concepts of the theory
   • Philosophical basis or worldview change, advancing health
2. Structural aspects of the theory
   • Discuss the framework of the theory.
3. Identify an area of your practice where this theory could be applicable
   • What question does the theory help to answer?
   • Describe the area of interest in relationship to the theory/theoretical model.
   • Is it appropriate for the practice setting and is it applicable?
   • Discuss the strength and weakness of the theory. If there is weakness, discuss what makes it difficult to be used in practice.
4. Use of theory in clinical practice.
   • Performing a literature review is essential to completing this section. If there is no literature available about the application of this theory in practice, address reason(s) why based on your findings.
5. Evaluation of theory
   • Is this theory used to understand and apply into practice?
   • What difficulties did you encounter or would anticipate encountering in using this theory?
   • What would make this theory more usable or applicable to practice?

Conduct disorder refers to a group of behavioral and emotional problems characterized by a disregard for others. Children with conduct disorder have a difficult time following rules and behaving in a socially acceptable way. Their behavior can be hostile and sometimes physically violent. In their earlier years, they may show early signs of aggression, including pushing, hitting and biting others. Adolescents and teens with conduct disorder may move into more serious behaviors, including bullying, hurting animals, picking fights, theft, vandalism and arson.

Children with conduct disorder can be found across all races, cultures and socioeconomic groups. They often have other mental health issues as well that may contribute to the development of the conduct disorder. The disorder is more prevalent in boys than girls.
