Discussion A
For this discussion, visit the U.S. National Library of Medicine's information on Pregnancy and Reproduction, or Sexual Health Issues and choose one topic of interest. Share with the group the purpose of your interest and the information that you obtained. Discuss the alterations in physiology related to the clinical manifestations associated with your topic of interest. How will you use this information in your professional nursing practice, as you interact with patients?
Your initial post should be between 200-250 words. Please substantiate your argument and assertions. Provide APA-style references in your post.
Discussion B
From your reading this week, discuss the clinical manifestations arising from one of the acute kidney injuries (e.g. prerenal-, intrarenal-, postrenal-acute kidney injury), and relate the pathophysiology to the clinical manifestation of the associated disorder.
What treatment or management options would you recommend for all (or most) patients with your chosen clinical manifestation and associated disorder?
Your initial post should be between 200-250 words. Please substantiate your argument and assertions. Provide APA-style references in your post.
Voice Thread
This week you continue to prepare for your course Signature Assignment (due in week 8) by composing annotations from research articles and sharing your research with the class. Review the Signature Assignment directions in week 8 to make sure your research this week meets the requirements.
This assignment has two steps, the second of which MUST be completed by Friday at 11:59 p.m., CT:
- Research a condition caused by renal-urologic disease or injury and find two peer-reviewed sources.
- Record a brief summary of your annotations in VoiceThread by Friday at 11:59 p.m., CT.
- Respond to your peers by Sunday at 11:59 p.m., CT.
STEP 1: RESEARCH A CONDITION CAUSED BY RENAL DISEASE OR INJURY
Select a condition caused by renal-urologic disease or injury (such as, an acute glomerular disorder, or acute kidney injury, as examples) from this week's content. Using the Gangwish Library or another peer-reviewed scholarly source, locate two scholarly peer-reviewed articles relating to the chosen disorder.
In a Word document or a PowerPoint slide, write an annotation for both articles. Format your document with your name and your selected disease at the top. In the body of your document, type the APA-style reference followed by a 200-250-word annotation. Refer to the Writing the Annotated Bibliography OU LibGuide for examples of annotations.
You do not need a title page or a reference page. Use 12-point font, single-spacing and try to fit both annotations on one page/slide.
STEP 2: PRESENT YOUR RESEARCH TO OUR COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS
Use a video discussion tool called VoiceThread (VT) to present your reasoning (i.e., argument related to your chosen disease for this week) to your peers in a video recording. Your presentation should provide a brief summary of the articles and explain how the research you have gathered informs:
- the care management of the patient,
- the promotion of the patient’s health, and
- the prevention of further disease.
Your recording should be no more than 8 minutes in length. Include the following:
- Add your annotations document to the Renal and Urologic Disorders Research Annotations VT.
- A video or audio recording sharing a brief summary of each article and your reasoning for selecting the articles.
