Week 1 discussion
Discussion Part I: Medicolegal Considerations
Note: In this course, all Discussions will have two parts:
Part I will consist of a specific topic related to the
Week’s content.
Part II will consist of a pharmacology review of approximately
250 words. Please submit each posting separately but within the same Discussion
thread.
You will be assessed on your posting and responses to both
parts.
As an advanced practice nurse (APN), it is essential to
understand your medicolegal responsibilities as they relate to coding the
services you provide to patients. Improper coding, undercoding, or overcoding
can have serious implications for patients, providers, and the provider’s care
setting. For this Discussion, you examine potential coding issues in case
studies and consider the medicolegal responsibilities of the advanced practice
nurse.
Case Study 1:
Sally Jones, an acute care advanced practice nurse, is
making hospital rounds on the same patients her colleague nurse practitioner
saw yesterday. Sally had five history and physicals to complete on admissions
that came in overnight. At the beginning of her shift, she had to complete two
emergency admissions and was then called to intensive care, where she spent
most of the afternoon. She had to leave work early because of her husband’s
retirement party. Because she knew most of the patients on her rounding list,
she decided to visit each patient’s room quickly for about 10 minutes. She
coded all of the visits the same way she had done the day before, with codes
99231 and 99232.
Case Study 2:
Lisa Smith, an acute care advanced practice nurse, is making
hospital rounds on the same patients her colleague nurse practitioner saw
yesterday. It took her 50 minutes to see 10 of her patients and 30 minutes to
see each of the remaining patients on her list. She used the same code for all
visits—99233.
To prepare:
Select one of the provided case studies.
Review the patient documentation given for the case. Think
about medicolegal considerations and the responsibilities of the advanced
practice nurse.
Consider the medical codes selected by the advanced practice
nurse. Reflect on how the selections might impact clinical practice and
billing. Think about how the impact might differ from primary to acute care settings.
Post on or before Day 3 a brief description of the patient
documentation given for the case study you selected. Explain any medicolegal
considerations, including the role and responsibilities of the advanced
practice nurse. Then, explain how medical coding might impact clinical practice
and billing, as well as how implications might differ from primary to acute
care settings.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
Respond on or before Day 6 to at least two of your
colleagues on two different days who selected a different case study than you.

Week 2 discussion
Discussion Part I: Assessment of Psychosocial Health
Conditions
In acute care settings, patients with psychosocial health
conditions may present with a variety of complex symptoms that require
comprehensive assessment. The results from this assessment are crucial to
developing a diagnosis and creating an individualized treatment plan for a
patient. For this Discussion, you focus on the assessment as you consider case
studies of patients with psychosocial health conditions. You determine what
history should be collected from the patients as well as what physical exams
and diagnostic tests should be conducted, and you formulate a differential
diagnosis with several possible conditions.
To prepare:

Week 3 discussion
Discussion Part I: Limitations and Challenges
The nursing field requires professionals to be committed to
life-long learning and growth. Because a large part of this learning and growth
is achieved through clinical experiences, it is invaluable for advanced
practice nurses to be able to apply knowledge recently gained from clinical
experiences to new situations. By collaborating with colleagues and sharing
these experiences and knowledge, advanced practice nurses can further enhance
their professional competency.
This week in order to demonstrate collaborative learning;
discuss a situation in your acute hospital experience of a collaboration that
occurred. Reflect on the experience and the impact it had on your care of this
patient. How will this experience possibly impact you in your future practice
with these type of patients? What are some limitations and challenges you
encountered during this clinical experience?

Week 7 discussion
Discussion Part I: Assessment and Treatment of the
Genitourinary, Gynecologic, and Renal Systems and Acid/Base Disorders
Common emergency department complaints are vaginal bleeding,
and STIs. An understanding of the differential diagnoses that might occur with
pregnant and non-pregnant women is important to grasp. Advanced clinical skills
that the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner must be familiar with include the
auscultation of fetal heart tones, basic fetal heart monitoring, pelvic exams,
and delivery of fetal demise or precipitous deliveries of viable fetuses.
Pregnancy can alter the diagnostic possibilities of a patient with acute
abdominal pain and change the clinical findings. Advanced pregnancy can make it
even more difficult.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates
that there are 19 million new cases of sexually transmitted infections every
year in the United States. STIs may present serious health implications for
infected patients—especially for those who are unaware of their health
condition. Studies show that women are not only at greater risk of contracting these
infections, but they also tend to have more severe health problems resulting
from infections than men. As an advanced practice nurse, you must educate
female patients and emphasize the importance of prevention and STI testing for
all women regardless of marital status, race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic
status.
Case Study 1: A 19-year-old Asian American female comes into
the urgent care clinic. She is complaining of severe abdominal pain, that
radiates to her back. She is having a moderate amount of vaginal bleeding. She
has a past medical history of PID and has used an IUD in the past. Her vitals
are T 37.7, P 116, RR 18, BP 88/50.
Case Study 2: A 31-year-old African American female is
brought into the ER with vaginal hemorrhage. She is unsure of her last
menstrual period. States she is sexually active and does not use protection. On
exam there are large clots noted in the vaginal vault, with possible tissue.
Vital signs are T 37, P 134, RR 26, BP 180/110.
Case Study 3: A 21-year-old nulligravida comes to the ER,
concerned about vague lower abdominal pain for two days associated with a
yellowish, nonodorous, vaginal discharge. Past history reveals regular
menstrual periods and no previous surgeries or significant medical problems.
Her last menstrual period was normal and ended two days ago. She had a similar
episode about eight months ago for which she did not seek care because of lack
of health insurance. She is currently sexually active with one partner and has
had two partners in the past year. She is not using any type of contraception.
On physical exam you note a temperature of 38º C, a regular pulse of 100, and a
BP of 110/65. Her abdomen is diffusely tender in both lower quadrants. Pelvic
exam reveals a yellowish cervical discharge with cervical motion tenderness and
a tender fullness in both adnexa.
To prepare:
Review and select one of the three provided case studies.
Reflect on the patient information.
Consider a differential diagnosis for the patient in the
case study you selected. Think about the most likely diagnosis for the patient.
Think about a treatment and management plan for the patient.
Be sure to consider appropriate dosages for any recommended pharmacologic
and/or nonpharmacologic treatments.
Consider strategies for educating patients on the treatment
and management of the gynecological condition you identified as your primary
diagnosis.
Post on or before Day 3 an explanation of the differential
diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Provide a minimum of
three possible diagnoses, and list them from highest priority to lowest
priority. Explain which is the most likely diagnosis for the patient and why.
Then, explain a treatment and management plan for the patient, including
appropriate dosages for any recommended treatments. Finally, explain strategies
for educating patient.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
Respond on or before Day 6 to at least two of your
colleagues on two different days in both of the ways listed below. Respond to
colleagues who selected different case studies than you did.
Based on your personal and/or professional experiences,
expand on your colleagues’ postings by providing additional insights or
contrasting perspectives.
