Mr. Rivera is a 72-year-old patient with end stage COPD who is in the care of Hospice. He has a history of smoking, hypertension, obesity, and type 2 Diabetes. He is on Oxygen 2L per nasal cannula around the clock. His wife and 2 adult children help with his care. Develop a concept map for Mr. Rivera. Consider the patients Ethnic background (he and his family are from Mexico) and family dynamics. Please use the concept map form provided.A rubric lists grading criteria that instructors use to evaluate student work. Your instructor linked a rubric to this item and made it available to you.

NAME:MODULE 2 CONCEPT MAP: END OF LIFE CARE

“Themself” By Shelley Jackson And “The Making Of The Drum By Kamau Brathwaite

A few questions (among many) on “Themself” that can be explored on this week’s discussion board: What are we truly saying when we claim to feel someone else’s pain? That we can imagine someone else’s pain? That we all overlap in certain areas?  Does weight-loss or weight-gain make us any “more” or “less” ourselves? Do we turn into mere “stuff” at the moment of death? Is there a “soul” separable from our bodies? If the singular pronoun “I” is appropriately lonely-looking, is there anything plural-looking about the words “we” or “us” or “them”?

Some additional questions for the Brathwaite half of this week’s discussion: Why the double-use of the definite article “the” in the title? How is this different from “a making of a drum”? How many words does the word “drum” rhyme with and what do some of these words imply? What is the effect of breaking the poem into sections (skin, barrel, sticks) based on a drum’s material ingredients? How does it make sense to directly address a goat with a “Bless you” once it has already been killed? The word “bless” is rooted in an ancient word that means “to redden with blood”—how might this pertain to this poem?

Initial Post Instructions

In the real world, functions are mathematical representations of input-output situations. A vending machine is one such example. The input is the money combined with the selected button. The output is the product.

Here is another example: The formula for converting a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is a function expressed as:

C = (5/9)*(F – 32), where F is the Fahrenheit temperature and C is the Celsius temperature.

If it is 77 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix Arizona, then what is the equivalent temperature on the Celsius thermometer?

Our input is 77.

C = (5/9)*(77 – 32)

C = (5/9)*(45)

C = 25

The equivalent temperature is 25 degrees Celsius.

To complete the Discussion activity, please do the following:

Choose your own function or choose from the list below and then provide a unique example of a function and evaluate the function for a specific input (like the example above).

Arm length is a function of height.

The circumference of a circle is a function of diameter.

The height of a tree is a function of its age.

The length of person’s shadow on the ground is a function of his or her height.

Weekly salary is a function of the hourly pay rate and the number of hours worked.

Compound interest is a function of initial investment, interest rate, and time.

Supply and demand: As price goes up, demand goes down.

Daily Routine

Directions:

Clinical judgment will influence how we (nurses) take care of our patients. Why is it so important for nurses to critically think and include evidence-based practice into their daily routine?
