1. Treatment modalities for the selected syndrome or disease
Treatment modalities for the selected syndrome or diseaseTreatment modalities for the
selected syndrome or diseaseSelect either a type of pain syndrome or a neurologic disease
process (headache, CVA, acute bacterial meningitis, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, depression,
chronic pain syndrome) and discuss the pathophysiologic process involved. Identify
current evidence-based treatment modalities for the selected syndrome or disease and
discuss how the treatment impacts the disease process.Conduct an evidence-based
literature search to identify the most recent standards of care/treatment modalities from
peer-reviewed articles and professional association guidelines (www.guideline.gov). These
articles and guidelines can be referenced, but not directly copied into the clinical case
presentation. Cite a minimum of three resources.Include the following in your clinical case
presentation:A discussion of the pathophysiology of the disease, including signs and
symptoms.An explanation of diagnostic testing and rationales for each.A review of different
evidence-based treatment modalities for the disorder obtained from guideline.gov or a
professional organization.Next, address the following questions:How does the information
in this case inform the practice of a master’s prepared nurse?How should the master’s
prepared nurse use this information to design a patient education session for someone with
this condition?What was the most important information presented in this case?What was
the most confusing or challenging information presented in this case?Discuss a patient
safety issue that can be addressed for a patient with the condition presented in this case.The
use of medical terminology and appropriate graduate level writing is expected.Your paper
should be 3–4 pages (excluding cover page and reference page).Your resources must
include research articles as well as reference to non-research evidence-based
guidelines.Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your source(s)
should be integrated into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the
literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those
sources. Cite a minimum of three resources.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-
FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s
spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part
and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled
words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and
then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
2. characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
