Jim is a 17-year-old who was brought into the clinic today for back pain. He denies injury and does not play sports. His vital signs are within normal limits and his BMI is 24.
Questions: What more should you know about Jim?
What information in your history and exam prompts further testing?
Assuming Jim’s back pain is from muscle strain, how would you manage his condition?

Literature Review
Assessment Descriiption
The purpose of this assignment is to write a review of the literature of the following 10 research articles.
A literature review provides a concise comparison of the literature for the reader and explains how the research demonstrates support for your PICOT to write a final paper detailing your evidence-based practice project proposal.
In a paper of 1,300 words select eight of the ten articles you evaluated that demonstrate clear support for your evidence-based practice and complete the following for each article:
1. Introduction – Describe the clinical issue or problem you are addressing. Present your PICOT statement.
2. Search methods – Describe your search strategy and the criteria that you used in choosing and searching for your articles.
3. Synthesis of the literature – For each article, write a paragraph discussing the main components (subjects, methods, key findings) and provide a rationale for how the article supports your PICOT.
4. Comparison of articles – Compare the articles (similarities and differences, themes, methods, conclusions, limitations, controversies).
5. Suggestions for future research: Based on your analysis of the literature, discuss identified gaps and which areas require further research.
6. Conclusion – Provide a summary statement of what you found in the literature.
7. Complete the “APA Writing Checklist” to ensure that your paper adheres to APA style and formatting criteria and general guidelines for academic writing.
8. You are required to cite eight peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.
Benchmark Information
This benchmark assignment assesses the following programmatic competencies:
MBA-MSN; MSN-Nursing Education; MSN Acute Care Nurse Practitioner-Adult-Gerontology; MSN Family Nurse Practitioner; MSN-Health Informatics; MSN-Health Care Quality and Patient Safety; MSN-Leadership in Health Care Systems; MSN-Public Health Nursing
3.2: Analyze appropriate research from databases and other information sources to improve healthcare practices and processes.
PICOT STATEMENT: In adult diabetes/Obese African American women between ages 30 and 40 (P), does providing a new comprehensive weight and exercise intervention (I) when compared to using basic diabetic/obese education (C) lead to improved A1c (O) over the course of 6 months?
PROBLEM STATEMENT: Obesity prevalence rates among African American women ages 30 to 40 years often did not engage in healthy diet and exercise routines (ADA, 2022). While there is no cure for obesity, a combination of diet, exercise, and medication adherence improves the quality of life and reduces mortality (ADA, 2022; Joseph et al., 2019). Lifestyle changes are encouraged by effective education regarding diet, exercise, and information regarding the severity of potential complications.

Concept Mapping Assignment Overview
A Direct-Focused Care Written AssignmentThe purpose of this concept map assignment is to help you strengthen a weakness and to practice utilizing clinical judgment in preparation for NCLEX. From your HESI dashboard, you will identify a concept from your “Weak Performance Areas”. This will be the concept utilized in this assignment. You may use a concept only once for each course.
This assignment will utilize a template designed to promote critical thinking and clinical judgment and to see how these relate to the nursing process.
Once you have selected your concept, you will identify a patient case to which you can apply your chosen concept. You may use a current patient, such as from an on-ground DFC, or a patient situation from a previous encounter. If you do not have access to a current/live patient experience that can be utilized for this assignment, you may access a simulated patient experience from a previous VCBC.
The patient you choose might have multiple co-morbidities. Build your concept map around the concept you chose; this might not necessarily be the patient’s priority concern. For example, you chose the concept of ‘Infection’ from your ‘Weak Performance Areas’ on the HESI Dashboard. Your patient might have co-morbidities related to Perfusion and Gas Exchange which will most often be a higher priority than ‘Infection’. However, to increase your knowledge about ‘Infection’, complete you map according to cues (signs and symptoms) and appropriate interventions related to ‘Infection’. Your Concepts for Nursing Practice eBook can serve as a resource for information regarding interrelated concepts.
You now have your concept and your patient. Familiarize yourself with the rubric and the assignment requirements; then you are ready to begin.
Gather the patient data and organize the information on the nursing process template of the Concept Map Worksheet. The nursing process template (located on page 1 of the assignment) will help you complete the concept map assignment located on page 2. The example below shows how the nursing process relates to clinical judgment.After completing the nursing process template, utilize this information to help you build the concept map assignment. The arrows in the map show you the order in which the map is intended to be completed. All boxes should be completed related to the concept you chose.
1. Recognize cues. What matter the most? What client findings are significant, most important, and of immediate concern to the nurse?
2. What is the pathophysiology and disease process affecting this client?
3. Analyze the cues. How are the cues related? How do they link to the client’s conditions/problems?
4. Prioritize hypotheses. Rank the client’s conditions/problems in order of severity and complexity. What is most important?
5. Generate solutions. What are the desired outcomes for this client rated to your identified concept? Identify SMART goals for this client. What interventions support achieving the desired outcomes?
6. Take action. Implement your identified interventions. How will you accomplish these interventions?
7. Evaluate the outcomes. How will you determine the effectiveness of your interventions?

This week’s assignment will provide you with the outline for your Patient Education Brochure that you will develop later in the course. By completing the template (provided in Canvas), you will:
1. Identify a short-term goal that indicates what the reader can accomplish by reading your brochure. 2. List three objectives you want the reader of your brochure to achieve.
3. Provide details and rationale for each objective.
4. Outline the content you will use in the brochure to help your reader achieve the stated objectives. 5. Plan an evaluation strategy for each objective.
6. Use evidence to support each of your rationales and evaluation strategies. Provide references for scholarly or professional sources used.

Objectives:
