Unfolding Health Assessment Case Studies for the Student Nurse, Second Edition

By: Kristi Maynard,Andrea Adimando

“This is an extraordinary and contemporary learning resource for all nursing students and faculty.” –Jeffery Ramirez, PhD, PMHNP-BC, CNE, FNAP, FAANP, FAAN Director of Graduate Nursing Programs and Professor Gonzaga University, School of Health Sciences “The ease of reading the 16 chapters cannot be overemphasized. This notable book will amplify essential ‘knowing’ for the newest to enter our profession. Quite simply, this little gem delivers!” –Linda Honan, PhD, CNS-BC, FAAN, ANEF Professor Emerita, Yale University School of Nursing Critical thinking can be the difference between keeping patients safe and putting them in harm’s way. But as a student nurse, you may find that mastering these skills is challenging, and you may lack confidence in assessing a patient’s health. Case studies are a common, beneficial learning approach. Traditionally, they present information upfront, with the patient’s status predetermined. But that isn’t realistic, as a patient’s health can often take an unexpected turn. Unfolding case studies provide new information over time, teaching you to think critically and apply what you’ve learned in nursing school to real-life situations you’ll face on the job. Authors Kristi Maynard and Andrea Adimando created Unfolding Health Assessment Case Studies for the Student Nurse for pre-licensure students who needs to review what they’ve learned earlier and practicing nurses who can apply these concepts to more complex scenarios. This book will: · Enhance students knowledge and skills in basic health assessment · Increase readers comfort level in analyzing patient scenarios · Provide opportunities to practice and apply what students learned in health assessment courses · Develop confidence in answering NCLEX questions TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction to the Unfolding Case Study Chapter 2: Introduction to the Nursing Process Chapter 3: Answering NCLEX-Style Questions Chapter 4: An Introduction to Approaching the Patient Interview Chapter 5: Vital Sign Assessment Chapter 6: Assessing Mental Status Chapter 7: Assessment Considerations for the Geriatric Patient Chapter 8: Assessment Considerations for the Pediatric Patient Chapter 9: Neurological Anomalies Chapter 10: Cardiovascular and Vascular Anomalies Chapter 11: Respiratory Anomalies Chapter 12: Gastroenterological Anomalies Chapter 13: Genitourinary and Sexual Health Chapter 14: Dermatological Anomalies Chapter 15: Head and Neck Anomalies Chapter 16: Assessment of the Transgender Patient Appendix A: Practice Test Appendix B: NextGen Questions

Understanding the Women of Mozart's Operas

By: Kristi Brown-Montesano

Is The Marriage of Figaro just about Figaro? Is Don Giovanni’s story the only one—or even the most interesting one—in the opera that bears his name? For generations of critics, historians, and directors, it’s Mozart’s men who have mattered most. Too often, the female characters have been understood from the male protagonist’s point of view or simply reduced on stage (and in print) to paper cutouts from the age of the powdered wig and the tightly cinched corset. It’s time to give Mozart’s women—and Mozart’s multi-dimensional portrayals of feminine character—their due. In this lively book, Kristi Brown-Montesano offers a detailed exploration of the female roles in Mozart’s four most frequently performed operas, Le nozze di Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte, and Die Zauberflöte. Each chapter takes a close look at the music, libretto text, literary sources, and historical factors that give shape to a character, re-evaluating common assumptions and proposing fresh interpretations. Brown-Montesano views each character as the subject of a story, not merely the object of a hero’s narrative or the stock figure of convention. From amiable Zerlina, to the awesome Queen of the Night, to calculating Despina, all of Mozart’s women have something unique to say. These readings also tackle provocative social, political, and cultural issues, which are used in the operas to define positive and negative images of femininity: revenge, power, seduction, resistance, autonomy, sacrifice, faithfulness, class, maternity, and sisterhood. Keenly aware of the historical gap between the origins of these works and contemporary culture, Brown-Montesano discusses how attitudes about such concepts—past and current—influence our appreciation of these fascinating representations of women.

Saturday Millionaires

How Winning Football Builds Winning Colleges

By: Kristi Dosh

Last year Football Bowl Subdivision college football programs produced over $1 billion in net revenue. Record-breaking television contracts were announced. Despite the enormous revenue, college football is in upheaval. Schools are accused of throwing their academic mission aside to fund their football teams. The media and fans are beating the drum for athletes to be paid. And the conferences are being radically revised as schools search for TV money. Saturday Millionaires shows that schools are right to fund their football teams first; that athletes will never be paid like employees; how the media skews the financial facts; and why the TV deals are so important. It follows the money to the heart of college football and shows the real game being played, covering such areas as: Myth #1: All Athletic Departments Are Created Equal Myth #2: Supporting Football Means Degrading Academics Myth #3: College Football Players Could Be Paid Like Employees Myth #4: Football Coaches Are Overpaid Myth #5: A Playoff Will Bring Equality to College Football Myth #6: Only a Handful of Athletic Departments Are Self-Sustaining The business of college football is unlike any other business. Saturday Millionaires takes you behind the scenes and teaches you how to understand the industry from the inside out, touching on such subjects as conference realignment, pay-for-play, conference television networks and where all those millions go at the end of the day.
