You have just read about several different families from many different countries and cultures. Compare and contrast their immigration experience. What will make their transition and assimilation more or less successful? How are their countries of origin different? How are their cultures and customs different?
This is a short essay assignment with a mixture of multiple-choice/short answer and essay questions that cite evidence or research to explain/support your answer.
Your essay answers must be in your own words with paraphrasing properly source credited. Quotes in lieu of answering in your own words will not receive points.
Please submit your responses as a Word document (.docx file). Make sure to number your responses so your instructor will know where one response ends and the next starts. It is not necessary to rewrite each question in your document. For multiple choice questions, CLEARLY indicate your response (a, b, c, or d) so that your instructor does not have to search and try to determine your response in your short answer explanation.
Responses should be approximately one-half page each (double-spaced) for a total of three pages (not including Title and References Pages if you choose to include them).

Patients are frequently uncomfortable discussing with health care professional’s issues that involve the genitalia and rectum; however, gathering an adequate history and properly conducting a physical exam are vital. Examining case studies of genital and rectal abnormalities can help prepare advanced practice nurses to accurately assess patients with problems in these areas.
In this assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.
In this assignment, you will analyze a SOAP note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients, as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

The Unidentified pathogen
is shigella flexneri
Microbiology Lab Oral Presentations
Groups of two partners will present a 10 minute presentation pertaining to the identified unknown pathogen. Students will create a powerpoint lecture to present to the class on the day detailed on the syllabus. Students will research their identified pathogen after confirming the pathogen with the lab instructor. Based on research, students will create a “mock” patient that presented to their healthcare provider with an infection due to the identified unknown, the laboratory methods used to determine the unknown bacterium and possible treatments. The presentation must contain: Signs and symptoms of patient Include any pertinent patient history. What patient samples would be collected for identification. Flow chart with 3 or more biochemical tests leading to the identification One confirmatory test must be included. Minimize the inclusion of results to show the shortest possible path to the unknown ID. At each step of the flow chart, show which bacterial species are still possible identifications and which bacterial species have been eliminated as candidates. Materials and Methods Include a complete explanation of materials and methods that correspond to the biochemical tests included in the flow chart. Results Describe the observations that were made for each of the biochemical tests included in the flow chart. Include visual examples of tests results (tables, figures, pictures) Conclusions Interpret results. Include if negative or positive (and for what product/ enzyme/ process) Identified infectious agent (include genus and species). Include information on how you interpreted results to form a conclusion to the bacterial ID. Pathogen information Diseases caused by the pathogen Must include 1 unique aspect of the organism Treatments Suggest treatments that should be used to clear the infection. Mode of action of the treatment (how it targets/ kills the bacterium) References (MLA or APA) Minimum 3 outside references (two must be a primary source) Cite at the end and within presentation (where used)
You will find an online article in the popular press (online news sources, blogs, e-magazines, e-newspapers, etc.) that makes a claim about a research finding in psychological science.
These critiques should be no more than 500
words and they must be in APA format. You should include the following:
·The research design
·The sample characteristics
·A sentence or two about the findings
·An idea to address a limitation of the study or a follow-up study based on the authors’ findings and their theoretical framework. Note that just saying that you would increase the sample size or collect data from a different sample is pretty weak and will be graded
accordingly (i.e. a poor grade).
