Assignment 1: Application – Best Practices

For over 20 years, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has conducted research trials to examine factors that impact risks and development of conditions that impact women such as heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Health care providers use results from these trials to develop guidelines for delivering care to patients. In your role in clinical settings, you must be familiar with these guidelines, and you must be aware that through clinical practice, guidelines frequently evolve and change. Often, what is considered a best practice today might not be a best practice in the future. For this Assignment, you compare guidelines outlined in the WHI study to current best practices for assessing and managing conditions.

 

 

To Prepare:

·       Review the Women’s Health Initiative article in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one disorder presented in this study. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/whi/background.htm

·        Locate and select a research article that addresses current best practices for assessing and managing the disorder you selected. Be sure that the research article you select is from a reputable source.

·        Consider the similarities and differences between the best practices presented in the WHI study and the article you selected. Think about the potential impact of differences in best practices on women’s health.

·        Consider whether the best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice.

To Complete:

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  1. Describe the disorder you selected from the Women’s Health Initiative study.
  2. Explain the current best practices for assessing and managing this disorder as suggested in the research article you selected. (support with current references)
  3. Compare the best practices presented in the WHI study to the current best practices presented in the article.
  4. Explain how the differences in best practices might impact women’s health.
  5. Explain whether you think the current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support your position with evidence-based research.

 

Note: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm). All papers submitted must use this formatting.

Case Study 2: Amino Acid Supplements

Danielle F. is a 78-year-old retired school teacher who is seeking ways to increase her protein intake. She does very little cooking and avoids fish, poultry, and meat for personal reasons. She eats eggs occasionally but relies more on a liquid amino acid product that claims to contain essential and non-essential amino acids in “naturally-occurring amounts.”

Danielle decides to compare the protein quantity and quality of this product to an egg. Initially she learns that 1 whole egg contains 18 amino acids (9 essential amino acids and 9 non-essential amino acids). ½ teaspoon of liquid amino acid product contains 16 amino acids (9 essential amino acids and 7 non-essential amino acids). Then she examines the Nutrition Facts label for these two products. (See below.)

Lab 2: Using PWM To Light An LED

/in /by

Introduction:

 

In this lab I will be learning about the use of buttons, PWM (pulse width modulation), and functions as the name of the lab suggests. There are two parts. The first part I will be watching a video and constructing the circuit as instructed on the video and writing the program to interact with it. This circuit will be using PWM to control the brightness of an LED. The second part I will be creating a program that will interact with the Arduino with the use of a button to control an LED.

 

Equipment/Components:

 

·         Arduino Uno

 

·         Small breadboard

 

·         Jumper wires

 

·         10kΩ resistor (x1)

 

·         220Ω resistors (x3)

 

·         USB cable

 

·         Pushbutton

 

·         5mm single-color LED

 

·         Digital Multimeter

 

 

 

Procedure: 

 

1.       Lab 2a: Procedure:

 

·         Watch the video: Tutorial 02 for Arduino: Buttons, PWM, and Functions (https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_LCCGFSMOr4)

 

·         Construct the breadboard circuit and implement the program presented in the video and in Chapter 2 (pp. 29-35) of your textbook to control the brightness of the external LED via PWM.

 

2.       Lab 2b:Procedure:

 

·         Design a circuit and Arduino program that accomplishes the following:.

 

·         Reads a press of a pushbutton once, and it cycles through all possible brightness values.

 

·         A press of the pushbutton a second time during the cycle, and it will “reset” the system by turning the LED off and setting the brightness value back to 0.

 

·         Another press of the pushbutton again, and it will then start the brightness cycle over again.

 

·         Include a video of your circuit in operation and any computer screenshots during its operation. Please include your Grantham ID number in the video to show your work..

 

·         Send your code file (.ino) of the lab completed and operational as well for credit.
