Module 1 Discussion 2: Disease Analysis Journal
Overview
When you are faced with a medical case and do not know how to approach it or have questions, what do you do? Even experienced nurses, dentists, doctors, and pharmacists will go to their smartphones and begin searching for answers. So much information is available. How do you know what information is reliable and valid? The purpose of the journal assignment is for you to practice finding, evaluating, and summarizing resources around key concepts that are presented throughout the module, which are relevant to your specific area of interest. This journal should be valuable to you; you can collect sites, resources, and readings that you find helpful to your learning.
This module will focus on the following topics that examine how our body responds, or rather adapts, to environmental toxins on a cellular level:
-Cellular adaption and neoplasia

Scenario:
The government has created a committee to investigate the potential of implanting a radio-frequency implantable device (RFID or commonly known as a chip) in every U.S. citizen OR on the use of the smart card (i.e. card that incorporates an individuals medical care record). In order to reduce the issues surrounding patient safety including patient identification, and maintenance of a complete and accurate history of disease processes and medications, this RFID or smart card will contain all of the individuals medical information.
When the patient arrives at a point-of-care, the RFID or the smart card is scanned, and all of the information is uploaded into the provider Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Upon discharge, information is then downloaded back to the RFID or the smart card.
You have been invited as a nursing representative for your state to provide a report to the committee regarding the use of the RFID or the smart card. Choose one of these
Please complete ALL THREE of the Professional Development exercises.
1. Some institutions that require students to develop e-portfolios as a part of their program of
study also may use this evidence of student learning to evaluate the program quality or
generate evidence for accreditation reports. What do you think should be the driving purpose
behind requiring electronic portfolios professional development planning or institutional
evaluation? What are the merits of each approach?
2. Conduct a literature search for a scholarly article about e-Portfolios and how they are used in
nursing. Summarize the findings, and discuss how this may be applicable within your nursing
practice.
3. Investigate a healthcare informatics techn
Module 1 Discussion 1: Initial Observation
Overview
When you are given a medical case, what is the first thing that you do? You make an observation. Remember, the first step in pathophysiology is to make an observation of the changes in the tissues, and the general appearance or condition of the patient. This assignment will give you practice making observations about the Case Study in the Exploration of Homeostasis: The Body Attempting to Adapt to the Environment section. You should not conduct any research at this point. It is ok to make mistakes and not be perfect. Just share any initial thoughts you have about it. You are not graded on your expertise. Rather, for this assignment, you are graded on your ability to ask questions and be inquisitive.
You should spend approximately 2 hours on this assignment.
Instructions

Please respond to the discussion prompt.
As an APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse), you have an interest in telehealth and feel that current healthcare delivery is influenced by technology, and you expect that to continue in the future. What specifics associated with telehealth care can support your plans to work in a rural clinic as a healthcare provider meeting the needs of a potentially underserved population?
Use at least one scholarly source other than your textbook to connect your response to national guidelines and evidence-based research in support of your ideas. This is required. In addition, you may also provide an example case, either from personal experience or from the media, which illustrates and supports your ideas. All sources must be referenced and cited using correct APA (including a link to the source).
