• Include your name, student number, course number, course title and unit number on each page of your written assignment (this is for your protection in case your materials become separated).

• Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e. an introduction, middle paragraphs and conclusion).

Classic Case Study

Below are listed several classic case studies and biographies of children that have in some way had a vastly different rearing experience than the average child. Some of these children were abandoned, neglected, abused, or have lived with an extreme difference that heavily influenced their development and in some way isolated them from family or society. Any one of these texts will demonstrate the important role that social interaction plays in development—be it the type of interaction or lack of interaction.

You will select 1 of these cases for study. You will read the listed book for that case, as well as find a minimum of 2 other scholarly/academic/professional sources that also provide insight into these cases. The sources may be other books, (but not your textbook), academic journals or papers highlighting the case. This may include information such as follow-up investigations, treatments or interventions for the case, etc. You don’t want just a repetition of the information already available to you in the text—do some digging.

As you are reading the book, and the 2 other selected sources, you will be keeping a reflective journal in your blog. It is expected that you would make several blog entries, so you may want to break the book and other readings in to sections. The journal will give a brief synopsis of the information that you read, your thoughts as you read the material, and any connections you are making between the reading and the course material.

At the conclusion, you will write a paper/case study (about 5-7 pages) summarizing the case and analyzing the child\’s development as compared to \”normal\” physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development, and why/how the differences or similarities occurred.

Legal Blood-borne pathogen exposures; incident (occurrence or variance) report.

Prioritization: immediate assessment of injury is necessary

Client Profile:

Bethany is a 20-year-old nursing student. Although she has practiced the intra- muscular injection technique in the nursing laboratory, she is nervous about giving her first intramuscular injection to a “real” client.

Case Study:

Bethany has reviewed the procedure and the selected intramuscular site landmark technique. She follows all the proper steps, including donning gloves. The syringe was equipped with a safety device to cover the needle after injection, but after giv- ing the injection, before the instructor can stop her, Bethany attempts to recap the needle and sticks herself with the needle through her glove. She is embarrassed to say anything in front of the client so she removes her gloves and washes her hands. Once outside the client’s room, Bethany shows the nursing instructor her finger. There is blood visible on her finger where she stuck herself.

5. Can the client’s blood be tested for communi- cable diseases if the client does not give consent?

6. What will be the recommendations for Bethany’s follow-up antibody testing?

7. HIV test results are reported as positive, negative, or indeterminate. What does each result mean?

11. Discuss who is most likely responsible for the expense of Bethany’s care immediately following the needle stick and any follow-up care. What risks are presented if the expense is prohibitive?

12. Identify three potential nursing diagnoses appropriate for Bethany. ( label, related to
