Week 1 Discussion

DQ1 Review of Evidence for Treating Specific Disorders

For this discussion you will review evidence related to achieving high-quality outcomes for a specific condition, disease, or disorder that has characteristics related to metabolic balance or glucose regulation.

The following are some examples that would be appropriate to research for this discussion (if you would like to pursue a different topic, please check with your instructor):

Cancer.

Diabetes (type 2).

HIV/AIDS.

Hyperthyroidism.

Hypothyroidism.

Metabolic syndrome.

Obesity.

Polycystic ovary syndrome.

Prediabetes.

Pregnancy.

In your initial post, complete the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).

Select a disorder, disease, or condition that has a basis in metabolic balance or glucose regulation.

Summarize a minimum of two pieces of evidence (journal articles, best practices, guidelines from professional organizations, et cetera) related to the treatment of your chosen disorder, disease, or condition.

Cite your evidence using APA style, as appropriate.

Analyze how the evidence you summarized can help achieve high-quality patient outcomes for the chosen disorder, disease, or condition.

Briefly reflect on how this evidence could be applied in your past, current, or desired future practice.

Response Guidelines

In your response post, address one or more of the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for response posts found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).

Suggest additional evidence relevant to your peer’s chosen condition, disease, or disorder, and explain how that evidence could contribute to achieving high-quality patient outcomes.

Suggest additional ways in which the evidence that peer has presented could be leveraged to achieve high-quality patient outcomes.

Share a relevant experience from your personal practice about using evidence to achieve high-quality patient outcomes for your peer’s chosen disorder, disease, or condition

Learning Components

This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:

Identify contemporary evidence (from within the last five years) relevant to a specific topic.

Apply APA formatting.

Identify valuable and relevant evidence for a specific topic.

Use evidence to support claims.

Explain relevant clinical aspects of a condition, disease, or disorder that has impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.

Identify conditions, diseases, or disorders that that have impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.

DQ2 Creating a Disorder-Specific Case Study

Creating a Disorder-Specific Case Study

For this discussion, you will create a brief case study to share with your peers. It will be related to a specific condition, disease, or disorder that has characteristics of metabolic balance or glucose regulation.

The purpose of this discussion will be to deepen your understanding of your chosen condition, disease, or disorder. It will also provide your peers with a brief case study to consider as the course progresses toward the Unit 3 assignment. This will be useful, as the Unit 3 assignment will ask you to select a specific condition, disease, or disorder that has characteristics of metabolic balance or glucose regulation and create an in-depth concept map for it.

For the case study, address the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for initial postings found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).

Describe the history of present illness.

Explain the patient’s past medical history.

Present relevant diagnostics.

Lab results.

Therapeutics.

Assessments.

Response Guidelines

In your response post, address one or more of the following. Be sure to follow the requirements for response posts found in the Faculty Expectations Message (FEM).

Share relevant information or experiences from your personal practice related to the presented condition, disease, or disorder and suggestions for how the shared information could be used to enhance the case study.

Discuss ways in which you could envision applying the case study to help improve your understanding of the presented condition, disease, or disorder and to help you address aspects of the Unit 3 assignment.

Learning Components

This activity will help you achieve the following learning components:

Explain relevant clinical aspects of a condition, disease, or disorder that has impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.

Identify conditions, diseases, or disorders that that have impaired glucose or metabolic imbalance as related aspects.

Identify contemporary evidence (from within the last five years) relevant to a specific topic.

Identify valuable and relevant evidence for a specific topic.
