Order description:
PLEASE AVOID PLAGIARISM. MY SCHOOL: WALDEN. PROFESSORS ARE VERY EXIGENT ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU. SELECT THE SCENARIO MORE CONVENIENT FOR THE WRITER.
Consider the following three scenarios:

Scenario 1:

Ms. Teel brings in her 7-month-old infant for evaluation. She is afraid that the baby might have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) because she seems to be coughing a lot, and Ms. Teel heard that RSV is a common condition for infants. A detailed patient history reveals that the infant has been coughing consistently for several months. It’s never seemed all that bad. Ms. Teel thought it was just a normal thing, but then she read about RSV. Closer evaluation indicates that the infant coughs mostly at night; and, in fact, most nights the baby coughs to some extent. Additionally, Ms. Teel confirms that the infant seems to cough more when she cries. Physical examination reveals an apparently healthy age- and weight-appropriate, 7-month-old infant with breath sounds that are clear to auscultation. The infant’s medical history is significant only for eczema that was actually quite bad a few months back. Otherwise, the only remarkable history is an allergic reaction to amoxicillin that she experienced 3 months ago when she had an ear infection.

Scenario 2:

Kevin is a 6-year-old boy who is brought in for evaluation by his parents. The parents are concerned that he has a really deep cough that he just can’t seem to get over. The history reveals that he was in his usual state of good health until approximately 1 week ago when he developed a profound cough. His parents say that it is deep and sounds like he is barking. He coughs so hard that sometimes he actually vomits. The cough is productive for mucus, but there is no blood in it. Kevin has had a low-grade temperature but nothing really high. His parents do not have a thermometer and don’t know for sure how high it got. His past medical history is negative. He has never had childhood asthma or RSV. His mother says that they moved around a lot in his first 2 years and she is not sure that his immunizations are up to date. She does not have a current vaccination record.

Scenario 3:

Maria is a 36-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She is normally a healthy young lady with no significant medical history. She takes no medications and does not smoke. She reports that she was in her usual state of good health until approximately 3 weeks ago when she developed a “really bad cold.” The cold is characterized by a profound, deep, mucus-producing cough. She denies any rhinorrhea or rhinitis—the primary problem is the cough. She develops these coughing fits that are prolonged, very deep, and productive of a lot of green sputum. She hasn’t had any fever but does have a scratchy throat. Maria has tried over-the-counter cough medicines but has not had much relief. The cough keeps her awake at night and sometimes gets so bad that she gags and dry heaves.

To Prepare

Review the three scenarios, as well as Chapter 27 and Chapter 28 in the Huether and McCance text.
Select one of the scenarios and consider the respiratory disorder and underlying alteration associated with the type of cough described.
Identify the pathophysiology of the alteration that you associated with the cough.
Select two of the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how the factors you selected might impact the disorder.
By Day 3
Post a description of the disorder and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the type of cough in your selected scenario. Then, explain the pathophysiology of the respiratory alteration. Finally, explain how the factors you selected might impact the disorder.

What is a critique? Simply stated, a critique is a critical analysis undertaken for some purpose. Nurses critique research for three main reasons: to improve their practice, to broaden their understanding, and to provide a base for the conduct of a study.

 

When the purpose is to improve practice, nurses must give special consideration to questions such as these:

 

  • Are the research findings appropriate to my practice setting and situation?
  • What further research or pilot studies need to be done, if any, before incorporating findings into practice to assure both safety and effectiveness?
  • How might a proposed change in practice trigger changes in other aspects of practice?

 

To help you synthesize your learning throughout this course and prepare you to utilize research in your practice, you will be critiquing a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed-methods research study of your choice.

 

If the article is unavailable in a full-text version through the Walden University Library, you must e-mail the article as a PDF or Word attachment to your Instructor.

 

 

QUALITATIVE RESEARCH CRITIQUE

 

 

  1. Research Issue and Purpose

 

What is the research question or issue of the referenced study? What is its purpose? (Sometimes ONLY the purpose is stated clearly and the question must be inferred from the introductory discussion of the purpose.)

 

 

 

 

  1. Researcher Pre-understandings

 

Does the article include a discussion of the researcher’s pre-understandings? What does the article disclose about the researcher’s professional and personal perspectives on the research problem?

 

 

 

 

  1. Literature Review

 

What is the quality of the literature review? Is the literature review current, relevant? Is there evidence that the author critiqued the literature or merely reported it without critique? Is there an integrated summary of the current knowledge base regarding the research problem, or does the literature review contain opinion or anecdotal articles without any synthesis or summary of the whole? (Sometimes the literature review is incorporated into the introductory section without being explicitly identified.)

 

 

 

 

  1. Theoretical or Conceptual Framework

 

Is a theoretical or conceptual framework identified? If so, what is it? Is it a nursing framework or one drawn from another discipline? (Sometimes there is no explicitly identified theoretical or conceptual framework; in addition, many “nursing” research studies draw on a “borrowed” framework, e.g., stress, medical pathology, etc.)

 

 

 

 

  1. Participants

 

Who were the participants? Is the setting or study group adequately described? Is the setting appropriate for the research question? What type of sampling strategy was used? Was it appropriate? Was the sample size adequate? Did the researcher stipulate that information redundancy was achieved?

 

 

 

 

  1. Protection of Human Research Participants

 

What steps were taken to protect human research subjects?

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Research Design

 

What was the design of the study? If the design was modeled from previous research or pilot studies, please describe.

 

 

 

 

  1. Data Collection/Generation Methods

 

What methods were used for data collection/generation? Was triangulation used? 

 

 

 

 

  1. Credibility

 

Were the generated data credible? Explain your reasons.

 

 

 

 

  1. Data Analysis

 

What methods were used for data analysis? What evidence was provided that the researcher’s analysis was accurate and replicable?

 

 

 

 

  1. Findings

 

What were the findings?

 

 

 

 

  1. Discussion of Findings

 

Was the discussion of findings related to the framework? Were those the expected findings?  Were they consistent with previous studies? Were serendipitous (i.e., accidental) findings described?

 

 

 

 

  1. Limitations

 

Did the researcher report limitations of the study? (Limitations are acknowledgments of internal characteristics of the study that may help explain insignificant and other unexpected findings, and more importantly, indicate those groups to whom the findings CANNOT be generalized or applied. It is a fact that all studies must be limited in some way; not all of the issues involved in a problem situation can be studied all at once.)

 

 

 

 

  1. Implications

 

Are the conclusions and implications drawn by the author warranted by the study findings? (Sometimes researchers will seem to ignore findings that don’t confirm their expectations as they interpret the meaning of their study findings.)

 

 

 

 

  1. Recommendations

 

Does the author offer legitimate recommendations for further research?  Is the description of the study sufficiently clear and complete to allow replication of the study? (Sometimes researchers’ recommendations seem to come from “left field” rather than following obviously from the discussion of findings. If a research problem is truly significant, the results need to be confirmed with additional research; in addition, if a reader wishes to design a study using a different sample or correcting flaws in the original study, a complete description is necessary.)

 

 

 

  1. Research Utilization in Your Practice

 

How might this research inform your practice? Are the research findings appropriate to your practice setting and situation? What further research or pilot studies need to be done, if any, before incorporating findings into practice to assure both safety and effectiveness? How might the utilization of this research trigger changes in other aspects of practice?

The secular values that inform newsroom culture inevitably entail that religion is only reported in terms of controversy and conflict. Critically discuss this statement with reference to two recent news stories.

The secular values that inform newsroom culture inevitably entail that religion is only reported in terms of controversy and conflict. Critically discuss this statement with reference to two recent news stories.

With regards to this question, I have chosen 1 article already and therefore will require you to choose the second. An online source will be fine but the full link will need to be stated. The focus is on reported religion and will require theoretical sources to back up the articles. With regards to controversy and conflict, specific theory relating to ‘Islamophobia’ ‘Orientalism’ and ‘Framing’ will need to be cited. I have some books that relate specifically to these theories and I will send you a list. Elizabeth Poole and Edward Said are among 2 of the sources.
I have also attached an informal discussion that I compiled when addressing this subject. The full link of the first article is listed on this file.
I propose that of the 6 papers ordered, the first article is addressed in 1.5 pages and the second article of your choice in 2.5 pages, as I will add my own views to the first article. This then leaves 2 pages to discuss the theories etc.

Following this week’s lecture topic, I have examined the way Islam is portrayed and perceived in the media. For obvious reasons, I have chosen this religion due to the increased reporting of this religion, especially following the 9/11 attacks. The focus of the discussion is on the reporting of ‘Islam’ and ‘Muslims’ via newspaper articles. It is extremely common nowadays to see front pape headlines regarding Muslims and Islam, relating to terror attacks and terrorism, which in turn has impacted on extremist views of negativity and bias, amd leading to the term ‘Islamophobia’ being coined.

Since the 9/11 attacks, there has been an increase in media coverage of Islam as a religion, including their policies and culture. However, the period has also seen an increase in expressing contempt of the coverage regarding Muslims and Islam (Manning, 2004). The mainstream media tends to focus on extreme, unusual and sensationalised stories. Most people getting news about certain countries hugely populated by Muslims, will almost inevitably find stories about terrorism, discrimination against women, human rights violations and other forms of violence (Rane& Abdalla, 2008, p. 39). While it is fair to recognise that some of these countries have lagged behind in terms of fostering social justice and equality, it is also important to
realise that sensationalised and biased reporting affects the perception of the world for Islam and Muslims. It is not always doom and gloom in those countries, and there are human beings with other vital stories which can be reported. The suggestion according to Rane and Abdalla (2008), is not to ignore the stories about social injustice and human rights violations, but the coverage should be objective and should not fail to highlight that there are other aspects in life other thanterrorism and Islamistextremism (p.39). According to Poole (2002), the average coverage of BritishMuslim in the British media is moredetailedthan most of the other world newspapers. She also adds that the coverage takes an orientalist tone with occasional “otherness” present in  is the reporting referring to Muslims.

Although not a recent article, I have chosen the reporting by the Daily Mail of the 2015 Paris attacks, during which twelve people – ten journalists and two policemen, were killed in a terror attack at the offices of Charlie Hebdo – a French satirical magazine that had published controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The discussion throughout is inclusive of academic research on Islam, Muslims and the media, and incorporates too the perceptions of journalists when reporting on this often controversial subject matter.  The full article can be seen at:-
<http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2900259/Gunmen-kill-11-Charlie-Hebdo-attack.html#ixzz4fdmH4zTw>

‘Teenage suspect ‘arrested after handing himself into police’ over Paris magazine
massacre that left 12 dead- as anti-terror unit raids building in a hunt for two brothers ‘trained in Yemen as assassins.’

The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market tabloid newspaper, with conservative views, including views of homophobia and racism. Poole and Richardson (2006) argue that media outlets always employspecific criteria in determining which stories and subjects are newsworthy and the same might have been applied towards Muslims to portray them in a way that sells and attracts readers (p. 101). This usually means sensationalisation andexaggeration in the coverage. The Daily Mailarticle is an example of this. While it attempts as much as possible to offer a detailed account of the attack with the aim of informing the reader, one can also pick up the occasional feeding off on the emotioncreated by the attack. For instance, the manner in which the police officer was gunned down while begging the assailants to spare him was no doubt horrific. However, the article is keen to recount the ordeal in as much horrific detail as possible to the extent that could be described as insensitive to the grieving family of the officer. In this case, the newspaper has decided that giving as muchdetail as possible about how horrific the attack was would make the reporting more newsworthy and drive up the sales (Poole and Richardson, 2006). The article also highlights the religious chants made by the assailantsseverally without as much as a note to the fact that the region of Islam does not teach violence. While it was confirmed that the attackershadconnections to terroristgroups, the constant mentioning of Arabcountries and the religion of Islam significantly distorts the message to appear as though these countries were responsible in some way. Such a manner of reporting tends to point fingers at the Arab states and the religion of Islam (Petley& Richardson, 2011 p.90). The tendency and inability of western media to distinguish terroristgroups from the religion of Islam, is a primal issue promoting Islamaphobia. The media has in recentyears received criticism for fuelling Islamaphobia and publishing news with particularly negative reporting about Islam and Muslims (Poole and Richardson, 2006, p. 24). The apparent lack of knowledge and
understanding has led to a lot of allegations and assumptions about the middle east and other Arab countries. Poole and Richardson (2006) argue that journalists in the United Kingdom and other western news outlets assume that citizens in the middle east are not aware of how oppressive their regimes are or how their religion is misused by extremists to carry out killings and this is despite the fact that they actively condemn and try to fight such issues (p.25). When newsreporting takes on a tone that suggestsblame for the Middle East in the mannerwhich the Daily Mailarticle does, it is a distortion of the truth and in a way a diversion of responsibility.

The article did focus on one of the more sensationalist pieces of information which emerged, with the brothers having links to Al Qaeda in Yemen, “believed to be from Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula”, recently the majority of the terrorist attacks had be carried out by the increasingly growing Islamic State, and the fact that they were French nationals as they “spoke French perfectly”, however they do not report where they got their sources from regarding this information.

The article however, also offers as much information as possible amidst the sensationalism and attempt to place the blame on the whole Muslim world. The reason for the attack on the newspaper was due to a cartoon that was published that depicted Mohamed in an offensive manner. The article observed that even the White House had taken issue with the publication stating that the cartoon could be seen as offensive by some people. While thisis not an excuse for committing such a despicable act, it calls into question whether the Western media  does enough to respect the religion of Islam. Ironically, it also highlights how some whopractice the religion of Islam could disregard the teachings and carry out such an attack in the name of
protecting the dignity of the faith. While the article could be seen as too sensationalist and
trying to portray the Muslimworld as guilty, one can also argue that it offers an accurate account of the experiences of the victims  and reminds people to remember the horrific attack.

Covering news from culturesd ifferent from the one that a journalist comes from is always a challenge. Most journalists tend to fall into the trap of stereotyping, prejudice, and assumptions made about cultures and the people. For instance, most journalists are quick to conclude that terrorists come from Arab countries or that any attack that might involve an Arab by default has terrorism associated with it. The journalist might also cover such stories in a way that fits the current narrative in the home country. For instance, after an attack, there is usually anger and uproar, and the expectation is that the news outlets will condemn the attackers. For some people, this mightinclude condemning the religion of Islam and Muslims as a whole. To cater for these expectations, some journalists abandon their moral and ethical responsibility of being objective and truthful and try to cover the news ina way that satisfies the masses

COLLAPSE
Main discussion post

William is a 38-year-old, African American males, recently married, no children, currently living with brother’s family. This is William’s first time in this setting however he does report previous mental health treatment. Patient reports, “I hit some hard times and I actually had to move in with my brother and his wife, Rosita…They say I have PTSD, but that’s all another story.” William was a captain in the military and is an Iraq war veteran. Religion is Catholic. Reports alcohol abuse. Occupation as a lawyer at risk. Patient general appearance is clean, and his behavior is calm and cooperative, eye contact is good. Patient’s mood appears euthymic, and his affect is consistent to mood. Patient’s thought processes and content are clear and coherent, and the patient’s speech is normal. The patient is alert and oriented.

DSM-5 criteria met: a history of exposure to threatened death possible to himself or witnessed the death of others, possibly repeated exposure, need to ask if he is experiencing distressing memories or dreams related to traumatic events, or flashbacks (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Patient displays avoidance of memories (2013). Need to ask the patient about his mood since returning from war (2013). Significant distress demonstrated by alcohol abuse with subsequent homelessness and risk of losing job (2013).

Appropriate therapeutic approaches for William include safety, with the number one goal to reduce the abuse of alcohol by integrating a 12-step program (Wheeler, 2014). Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy are recommended by evidence-based practice (2014). Cognitive behavioral therapy stabilization measures will work to increase patient resources and mindfulness activities help the patient respond to their experiences rather than react (2014). A meta-analytic review found group cognitive behavioral therapy to be an efficacious way to treat those with PTSD (Barrera, Mott, Hofstein, & Teng, 2013). Psychotropic medications I would consider for William would be Zoloft, Trazadone if he is having difficulty sleeping, and Prazosin if he is having nightmares (Wheeler, 2014).

Expected outcomes for William based on the therapeutic approach of CBT and EMDR will be the ability to process traumatic events in a healthy way. Abstinence from alcohol as a coping mechanism, sleep quality and quantity enhanced, and decrease or disappearance of nightmares.
