Identify the pathophysiology of lower and upper urinary tract infections.

 

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are caused by bacteria—most often Escherichia coli. However, certain viruses, fungi, and parasites can also lead to infection. The infection can affect the lower and upper urinary tract, including the urethra, prostate (in males), bladder, ureter, and kidney. Due to the progression of the disease and human anatomy, symptoms present differently among the sexes as well as among age groups. It is important to understand how these factors, as well as others, impact the pathophysiology of UTIs. Advanced practice nurses must have this foundation in order to properly diagnose patients.

 

 

 

To prepare:

 

•Review Chapter 29 in the Huether and McCance and 3 current  credible outside  text. Identify the pathophysiology of lower and upper urinary tract infections. Consider the similarities and differences between the two types of infections.

 

•Select two of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors you selected might impact the pathophysiology of the infections, as well as the diagnosis of and treatment for the infections.

 

 

 

Post 1 page paper on a description of the pathophysiology of lower and upper urinary tract infections, including their similarities and differences. Then explain how the factors you selected might impact the pathophysiology of the infections, as well as the diagnosis of and treatment for the infections.

Discuss the effects of music on the brain.

Take a moment to view the following videos, which discuss the effects of music on the brain:

  1. Does Music Make Kids Smarter?
  2. Health Matters: Music and the Mind

Consider the following scenario:

You are friends with a family who has a 5-year-old son named Howard.  Howard loves coming to school gets along with well other children. He has a positive attitude about learning and is persistent when facing challenges. His favorite thing about school is music time.  He loves to sing and dance.  During center time, he plays with instruments and listens to music on head phones.  His school also has a music teacher, and Howard is learning how to play the piano.  Howard was recently diagnosed with a learning disability and his cognitive and language development appears delayed.  His parents want to put him in an academically focused program that does not include music education. They feel that this type of experience does not address his special learning needs and that more time must be spent on academics in order to bring him up to grade level. What advice do you give Howard’s parents?  In your answer, discuss developmental milestones for this age group and cite research regarding the effect of music education and experience on the cognitive development of young children.

You may refer to the national standards for Arts education, ArtsEdge, Standards, or any other state standards you would like.

 

Second Discussion Question:

Take a moment to watch the Five-Year-Olds Pilot Their Own Project Learning video below:

“Themes and projects are strategies for breaking away rigid designated time blocks…Thematic teaching allows children to investigate topics thoroughly in an integrated manner…Project work has been shown to be a successful method of meeting standards” (Benson & Miller, 2008; Helm 2008).  Review Chapter 16 of the required text for more information about thematic teaching.  Locate a set of standards for math and science and describe a cross-curricular, student-centered project that meets those standards in an integrated way.

Option One:

Share three math content standards and three science content standards.  Then, develop a project that meets these standards.  Describe your project and identify two ways in which this project is developmentally appropriate.  Also explain your approach for making your project child-centered.

You may view the following resource for more information: Project Based Learning for the 21st Century.

Option Two

Interview two early childhood teachers about long-term, cross-curricular projects that they have implemented in their classroom that include both math and science content, and discuss the standards addressed in these projects.  Share the details of these projects with the class.

Women should not be assign to combat duty in the military.Discuss.

PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS I WILL POST AN EXAMPLE BELOW OF WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE ITS A BLOG. NO PLAGERISM

 

For step 1 you can choose to do it on one of the three i list below you only need one.

1. A student hould report a fellow student who is cheating on an exam or plagiarizing an essay.

 

2. Women should be assigned to combat duty equally with men.

 

3. Athletes should be allowed to take steriods and human growth hormone under a docotrs supervision.

 

BELOW IS AN EXAMPLE:

 

Blog # 2

Claim: Women should not be assign to combat duty in the military.

 

Believe: There are so many reasons why I believe that women should not be assigned into combat positions in the US Military. There are so many physical requirement that one has to meet in the military to be allowed to go on combat duty. Naturally women are more delicate and fragile and they are not physically as strong as men. Therefore, performing these task will be hard and dangerous for the women that are assigned to combat duty. Forcing women to meet this physical requirement will be harmful to their health.  According to the New York Times, two women entered into the Army and tried fighting in combat but quit after three weeks because they felt they were not ready for it. They admitted they were under pressure, and said they thought the requirement were extremely challenging and not achievable for a woman. Women are also emotionally weaker than men. Even though Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an issue for male combat soldiers, it will be a much bigger issue for women. I believe death is a much bigger thing for a woman to handle than a man.Another important factor is the possible intimate relationships between men and women in the army, when they are gathered to fight and protect the country. They are in a life and death situation, therefore creating romantic attractions might intervene with their purpose in war.

 

Doubt:Where and how women serve in the military should be based on ability and training, not gender. Policies that prohibit the military from using the skills of all service members should be changed. Women have always fought and died in America’s wars. They have led men in battle, been prisoners of war, fired lethal weapons, and operated our most sophisticated systems. They fly combat aircraft and serve on combat ships. Women meet the military’s physical and mental standards, are technically proficient, and are highly trained war fighters and leaders. There has always been that believe that what a man can do a woman can do it better and because of that they should been giving the chance to join the fight.
