Nurses conducting assessments of the ears, nose, and throat must be able to identify the small differences between life-threatening conditions and benign ones. For instance, if a patient with a sore throat and a runny nose also has inflamed lymph nodes, the inflammation is probably due to the pathogen causing the sore throat rather than a case of throat cancer. With this knowledge and a sufficient patient health history, a nurse would not need to escalate the assessment to a biopsy or an MRI of the lymph nodes but would probably perform a simple strep test.

Most ear, nose, and throat conditions that arise in non-critical care settings are minor in nature. However, subtle symptoms can sometimes escalate into life-threatening conditions that require prompt assessment and treatment.

In this Case Study Assignment, you consider case studies of abnormal findings from patients in a clinical setting. You determine what history should be collected from the patients, what physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted, and formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions. 

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each.

ASSIGNED CASE STUDY

Jason, a 13 year old male comes in with Mom complaining of painful swallowing. Started yesterday as a “really bad sore throat” made worse with swallowing. He reports feeling very tired. His Mom gave him over-the-counter Children’s Motrin which made his fever better but did not help sore throat. He reports his symptoms are especially, worse during nighttime. His tonsils are 2+ and erythematous, tonsil stones are present on the right side. He has white patches on his tongue.

Question

Refer chart>

As the chart shows, workers age 25 and over who have less education than a high school diploma had the highest unemployment rate (5.4 percent) and lowest median weekly earnings ($592) in 2019 among those at all education levels. Workers with graduate degrees had the lowest unemployment rates and highest earnings.

These data come from the Current Population Survey Links to an external site., a monthly survey that collects information about the labor force, including age, sex, marital status and other characteristics.

Each level of education you complete may help you develop more skills, give you access to higher paying occupations, and signal that you’re able to follow through on important tasks, such as planning ahead and meeting deadlines, that employers value.

Other factors affecting employment and earnings include geographic location, experience, and sector worked. Data and information can help you understand some of these factors.

The objective of this study will explore some of the issues that arise in this context using data from the CPS, the Current Population Survey Links to an external site. on education level and wages.

Load the data (cps.csv) from Microsoft Excel and transform into SPSS.

It is also possible to address problems where there are more than 2 treatments, e.g. look at the effect of race, sex and location on wage. Things start to get more complicated, of course, but it can be done. Particularly confusing is the fact that you can have 3-way and higher interactions, and it can be difficult to interpret what these mean.

The variables are:

• wage: monthly income/payment in RM (‘000)
• educ: highest educational level
• race: ethnicity of respondent (M= Malay, C= Chinese, I = Indian, O = other)
• sex: gender of respondent (M =male, F = female)
• location: work place location (1 = north, 2 = east, 3 = west, 4 = south)
• married: marital status (married or single)
• experience: year of working experience
• union: register with union
• age: respondent’s age in years (union or not)
• sector: working sector (professional, management, sales, clerical, service, manufacturing, other)

Construct an ANOVA table and conduct F-tests for the presence of nonzero educational effects, road experience effects, and interaction effects.

Tables, Graphs, Figures – You can include tables of data referred to in the text. The source(s) of the data should be noted on the table. Be sure to explain the significance of these data in the body of the paper. You can also include graphs or charts to illustrate your paper. The source(s) of the data to construct these aids must be noted below the illustrations.

Style – To adequately achieve the objectives of the assignment, 3,300 words of content (excluding figures and diagram) are probably required.

Note:-

a)  Your citation must be from credible journal listed in Science Direct or Emerald Insight. The age of the journal should be not later than 5 years (latest is 2016).

b) originality, professionalism.

c) American Psychological Association (APA) referencing format

This is the information for the term project in this course. This assignment will be due at the end of Module 7.

Week 1 Information Systems in OrganizationsLab Project

Each week you will be adding to a cumulative project.  You will submit weekly assignments and your final project will be the total compilation of all of the combined weeks. Determine a business or organization in need of information systems. This can be a business startup or changes in an existing business. If an existing business belonging to you (now or in the future), treat it as if you will be upgrading technology beyond a single computer, software integration, or system.You’ll be using this concept throughout the course so give it some thought.Please watch this video to assist with expectations and choices  In this lab:

Project Definition

1. Define your IS project and determine what information systems and personnel will be necessary to meet needs and requirements.

2. Is this a startup or a business converting to or making significant changes to its business model and systems?
