You must post at least 2 replies to your classmates threads. The replies must be 100135 words each.

Responding to a classmates post requires both the addition of new ideas and analysis. A particular point made by the classmate must be addressed and built upon by your analysis in order to move the conversation forward. Thus, the response post is a rigorous assignment that requires you to build upon initial posts to develop deeper and more thorough discussion of the ideas introduced in the initial posts. As such, reply posts that merely affirm, restate, or unprofessionally quarrel with the previous post(s) and fail to make a valuable, substantive contribution to the discussion will receive appropriate point deductions. Original posts will be uploaded to assigned writer.

Choose 1 of the following Discussion Topics and provide your answers using appropriate medical terminology.  you can refer to the attached document for answers or use other references.

1. A 3-year-old patient who had a bone marrow transplant 5 weeks ago has grown increasingly listless over the past 2 days, showing little interest in her favorite activities such as riding her tricycle or playing with her dolls. She is easily fatigued and becomes short of breath with minimal activity. She is afebrile, and blood, urine, and sputum cultures were negative for infectious pathogens. Her lungs sound clear, but her breathing is rapid even at rest. Her absolute neutrophil count is zero. She is currently on antibiotics to prevent bacterial infection. Her physician orders an intravenous antifungal agent for her.

Do you think the physicians order is appropriate? Why or why not?
If indeed she has a fungal infection, why were her blood cultures negative and her temperature normal?

2. You are meeting with a newly diagnosed 8-year-old acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) patient and his family to answer their questions about his illness and plan for treatment. They had sought medical treatment because the boy had experienced unusual fatigue, repeated infections, and unexplained bruising over the past few months.

The patient and his family want to know why he has problems with bruising and infections when their understanding is that leukemia is a problem with too many white blood cells. How would you answer their question using lay language?
The parents are very afraid of the chemotherapy regimen that is being planned, stating that their 40-year-old cousin died of ALL despite receiving powerful chemotherapy drugs that made him very sick. How would you reassure them without giving them false hope?

Leadership strategies

Based on your readings and class discussions during this semester, write a 10-page research paper, to include a title page, abstract, and reference page for newly promoted supervisors. Discuss leadership strategies, suggestions on resolving common supervisory issues, and give advice about what NOT to do. The topics you read and discussed this semester include a number of points that provide guidance to effective police supervision. The goal of this paper is for you to coalesce what you learned into what you believe would be a great platform for a brand new supervisor in your agency to get started with. Utilize a minimum of three outside sources and use in-text citations per APA standards.

Suppose you are designing a database to track your exercise sessions and progress toward your fitness goals.

Suppose you are designing a database to track your exercise sessions and progress toward your fitness goals. At a minimum, you will need to record the details of each session and be able to report on your activity over a specific range of dates. You’ll probably want the database to supply information for charts to show your progress and the increasing intensity of your workouts.

Write to the following discussion topic, touching on each of the bulleted questions:
Assuming you want to record changes in your weight, would you do this in a separate table or would you record it for each workout?
How would you design the tables to record separate activities where those like running might be based on time or distance and others such as weight training based on repetitions?
Would you record the number of calories burned during each activity in the tables or just record enough information so that the software can calculate it later? (This figure can be calculated based on factors such as the activity and your current weight. The complexity of the calculation as factors change over time might cause whatever program was using the data to take longer to generate the reports).

Using the MEALs Paragraph development 

The MEAL plan is a way to organize your paragraphs as you write; it helps writers create strong, thorough paragraphs. The letters, “M-E-A-L,” form an acronym that stands for the following:

MMain idea: This is usually expressed in a strong topic sentence.See tips on using a strong topic sentence.

EEvidence: Once your readers are clear what the main topic of your paragraph is, you can use source material as evidence to discuss your topic and promote your academic argument. The word “evidence” is another way to say source citations.See tips on how to best use evidence.

AAnalysis: After giving the evidence, youll want to explain, incorporate, and integrate that evidence by providing some analysis. Analysis is where you can compare, contrast, and provide explanations for the source material, why it is important, and how it relates to your main idea.

LLead out: The lead-out sentence or sentences are where you will sum up what the paragraph discussed and then preview what is coming in the next paragraph so that the reader can smoothly move from one idea to the next.See some other tips on transitional words and phrases.
