Assign appropriate E/M codes for the following five cases: • Initial consultation is performed for a 78-year-old woman with unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding. A comprehensive history and examination is performed. This patient is a new patient and it is necessary to get the patients health and family history. Since the patient is a new patient she needs a comprehensive amount of data. It is very important to get the history to figure out what may be causing these symptoms.

Reflection – Handover During my time on placement so far I have encountered the handover of patients between nurses coming on and off duty every single day. The purpose of this essay is to reflect on this event. The purpose of reflection is to promote desirable pactise though the practitioners understanding and learning about his/her lived experiences (John 1995). I have decided to use the first handover that I saw being given for this reflection. It was my first placement on a rehabilitation and palliative care ward.
Correct Answer(s): DEthical-Legal ConsiderationsSince Kat's respiratory status has stabilized, she undergoes an open reduction and internal fixation of the pelvis. Following surgery, Kat receives patient-controlled analgesia for 24 hours. When this prescription is discontinued, a new prescription is written for Morphine 2 mg every 4 hours PRN.The nurse caring for Kat is concerned about the amount of opioid analgesics that Kat has received since her fracture occurred. The nurse administers a dose of normal saline IV the next time Kat requests pain medication and reports to the charge nurse that the client indicates that she is pain free.22. What action should the charge nurse implement?
Are patients conscious during a stroke? How do people recover from stroke? Although we consider stroke a scientifically well-studied condition, communicating what it is like to experience a stroke is markedly more contentious. Jill Bolte Taylor is a neuroscientist, who at age 37 suffered a stroke in the left hemisphere of her brain from an arteriovenous malformation (Taylor, 2006a). After allowing herself eight years to fully recover, Dr. Taylor wrote a book about her stroke and stroke recovery experience entitled My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey.
I had the opportunity to interview a registered nurse who I have trained in the past when she was new to our department, but now I admire and view as a mentor. My interview was with a forty-two year veteran diploma graduate registered nurse who is but one year from retirement. She has worked at several different hospitals and in several different departments through out her career. I enjoyed hearing her experiences and related to a lot of the past and could understand what nursing has been, how it has moved forward, and what the future might hold for nurses. A time ago nursing was viewed as a “woman’s job”.
The design of which is so one variable is manipulating another variable primarily by gathering quantitative research. Psychologists use scientific methods for their investigations such as laboratory experiments and structured interviews which gather quantitative research. Although Laboratory experiments are used there are a lot of non-scientific methods used within psychology such as case studies which gather qualitative research generating subjective data, which isn’t scientific. Science is also nomothetic which means it establishes general laws and principles by examining groups for trends and patterns to obtain general laws for behaviour. So by using case studies it is impossible to generate general laws and principles as only one persons behaviour is examined and can’t be generalised.
In short, we have yet to come up with a theory that can pull all this together." 4) Abstract Thinking: Humans constantly invoke unobservable phenomena and variables to explain “why” certain things are happening. Conclusion: As per the research it was observed that “There are two changes in the gene's 118 DNA and another
