Instructions

you will compare/contrast two controversial topics in lifespan development.

For the first one, your patient is a 43-year-old female. She is 4 months pregnant for the first time, and she never expected to get pregnant as she believed herself to be infertile. She has enjoyed 2 glasses of wine each night her entire first trimester because she read a few articles by some renowned international obstetricians who suggested that having a glass of red wine during pregnancy is healthy to maintain normal blood pressure and reduce anxiety levels. 

Your patient, Claudia, wants to know if it’s important for her to stop drinking her red wine each night, or if the warnings given by her family are just “super strict and overly protective.” Claudia needs facts to change her mind about this topic. As her nurse/healthcare investigator, can you explain to her what the risks are for her to continue drinking 2 glasses of wine every night while she is pregnant? Do you think that you should also address other factors like her age, first-time pregnancy, etc.? Use your nurse/healthcare investigator skills and present the facts to her.

Next, you will explore the immunization controversy in the medical profession. Be certain that your answers are cogent, well-formed, and supported by outside research rather than based on personal opinion. 

Write about the immunization controversy in the medical profession. Be sure to address why people delay immunizations and why some refuse all immunizations for their children. As a medical professional, how might you educate these caregivers about their child’s health and development concerning this issue? What is your role in this process/situation? How can you best respect the caregiver’s wishes and provide the best healthcare in this situation?

CASE STUDY 1- Healthcare Investigator

This is your introduction paragraph. Here, summarize the case study outlined in the instructions. Do that in 2 sentences. Then outline the three main healthcare concerns (her age, drinking habits, and that compounding effect) to be discussed in the remainder of this paper. Do this in 1 sentence. This section should be 3-4 sentences in length ONLY. Write in third person.

Fetal Development

Here you do NOT get into the impact of the case study. In this section you are simply going to explain the stages of fetal development. Make sure you address normal physical development and brain development. Write academically. That requires writing in third person (do not write as though you were having a conversation with the patient but rather as though you were educating a group of people), base your claims off of your reading (EDAPT Concepts and Course Text), include facts and findings to back up your claims, AND demonstrate support by using APA style in-text citations. NONE of this information should be direct quotes. Insteaad, all information should be paraphrased or summarized AND include APA style in-text citation. This section should only be a paragraph in length. Remember all paragraphs should be between 3-4 sentences long.

Risk: Environmental and Biological Factors that Affect Human Development – Patient’s Age, Major Teratogens in the Prenatal Stage of Development

Here you present the impact of the case study. Discuss the risks associated with environmental factors like alcohol, drugs, and biological factors like patient’s age on fetal development. Discuss the risks associated with drinking during pregnancy. Look at this from both an impact to those developing structures in-vivo (fetal develop, and those developing structures [both brain and body]) and impacts seen AFTER birth (low birth weight, alcohol dependency, learning disabilities, behavioral issues, etc.). Then discuss age-related risks, such as genetic abnormalities such as trisomy 21, incidences of mental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and ADHD/ADD, learning disorders, and any other which you feel are relevant. Write about any structural or neurological impairments associated with both environmental and biological related high-risk pregnancies. Use your EDAPT concepts, the course text, and/or a scholarly article (from the Chamberlain Library – NO websites) to explain these risks. Use academic style of writing (as described in the previous section). This section should be 1 paragraph in length. This paragraph should have a 5-6 sentences.

CASE STUDY 2- Childhood Immunization: To Vaccinate or Not?

This is your introduction paragraph. Here you need to outline the debate in the medical community regarding childhood immunizations. State main arguments for each point of view (Why vaccinations are necessary, and risk concerns). Cite as necessary and write academically (reference page has resources to help you with this). This section should be 2-3 sentences in length ONLY. Write in the third person.

Concerns Regarding Immunizations

Here you will discuss concerns regarding childhood immunizations. Address those concerns outlined in the research (for example inflammation response, high fever, etc.). Also address those concerns which are not supported in the research but are often a source of discussion (for example the ideal that immunizations cause autism spectrum disorder [ASD]). Also, discuss reasons why parents may delay getting childhood immunizations or they may space them further out. Use your course text, your EDAPT Concepts, and one outside resource here. This section should be 2-3 sentences in length ONLY.

Importance of Immunizations

Here you need to present the benefits of immunizing children. Discuss it from the standpoint of benefits both to the individual child and benefits to society. All this section should be research based, written academically from third person perspective and utilizing APA style in-text citation where necessary. Use your course text, your EDAPT Concepts, and one outside resource here. This section should be 1 paragraph in length. Remember to write 2-3 sentences for individual child benefit and 2-3 lines about benefits to the society.

My Role

Here you will simply be discussing how you (as a health care professional [pretend you are in your chosen career]) might educate patients while respecting their autonomy. Think about how you would deliver the information without adding your own bias into your information delivery. This section is first person and should be a 2-3 sentences in length.
