Tracie’s response:

When is the ideal time to complete a clinical breast exam? What steps would you follow for concerning findings on the clinical breast exam? What age or risk factors indicate the need for a mammogram?

According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American Cancer Society (ACS), and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, clinical breast exams (BE) should be performed annually in women ages 40 and older (Fuller, Lee & Elmore, 2016). For those who are low risk and women 20-39 years old, unclear recommendations state that these women should have a breast exam every one to three years (Fuller, Lee & Elmore, 2016). Breast exams do not replace routine mammograms for women of indicated age and those that are high risk. A breast exam helps screen for abnormalities such as tumors and cysts. The best time to do a monthly breast exam is while you are off of your period. A woman’s breasts are lumpier when she is on her menstrual cycle making it hard to perform an accurate breast exam (Sullivan, 2016).

When something abnormal is found on a BE, the next step is to make sure you do a good history and physical on the patient and try to determine her risks. If it’s appropriate, a mammogram, breast ultrasound, or a biopsy can be ordered for further diagnostic testing (Fuller, Lee & Elmore, 2016). A biopsy can identify abnormal cancer cells.

The age and risk factors that indicate the need for a mammogram start at age 40. Most of these women have this done annually. Every national society has different recommendations on when women should start mammograms.

For women who are at high risk of breast cancer, screening may begin at an earlier age. This includes women with a familial history of breast cancer. There is a genetic screening tool done in many offices that screen at risk women for cancer. It’s a series of questions asking about familial cancer history and if the women meets criteria, they will go and have their blood drawn and sent off to a lab.

Jodie’s response:

Detail the routine health periodicity for the gynecologic and clinical breast exam. What health factors are utilized to determine the need for a Pap test? When is the Pap test no longer necessary?

Routine gynecological and breast exams for women begin at the age of twenty-one. A clinical breast exam is done by a trained doctor or nurse who uses his or her hands to feel for lumps or other changes in the breast (CDC, 2018). This is different from a mammogram that the female patient will need to complete later in life. The patient can perform a self-breast exam; however, it is not encouraged as many women were coming in with false alarms. A woman at average risk for breast cancer should get a mammogram when she is age 50-74 every two years. If she is at an increased risk due to a first degree relative having breast cancer then she should seek screening at age 40 (CDC, 2018). Doing self-exams or clinical breast exams do not lower the risk of breast cancer but can lead to early detection and better outcomes (Clinical Breast Exam, 2016).

Pap examination begins at the age of 21 unless otherwise warranted. The Pap smear looks for precancer cells or changes on the cervix that might become cervical cancer if they are not treated properly. The Pap smear also looks for human papillomavirus (HPV) that can cause these cell changes (CDC, 2019). Between the ages of 21-29 if the Pap is normal the test does not have to be repeated until every three years. Between the ages of 30-65 it is recommended that a woman takes one of three options that are agreed upon with her prescriber. If it has a Pap test only this should be continued every three years. If she desires HPV testing and has normal results this test should be completed every five years. It is most commonly done that a woman will have an HPV test along with a Pap test and if she has normal results than the test only needs to be repeated every five years. Once the woman is 65 or older she does not have to have a Pap test if she has had normal results for several years or had her cervix removed as part of a total hysterectomy for non-cancerous conditions (CDC, 2019). If a woman has a hysterectomy because of abnormal cervical cells or cervical cancer she should continue to get a Pap and HPV test (U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, 2019).

Discussion: Online Learning Strategies

APA FORMAT PLEASE.

Important reading Material link: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/waldeneguide/eg… http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/872.htm

Completing courses in the absence of a physical classroom and frequent face-to-face contact can be challenging, even for those who are comfortable with technology and the online environment. You need to be able to plan and manage your time well, particularly since there is no structured “class time”; communicate clearly and effectively where there is no visual or nonverbal feedback; and use technology effectively. This Discussion provides you with an opportunity to think about your skills in the above areas, to explore strategies for successful online learning, and exchange strategies with your colleagues.

To prepare:

• Review this Week’s assigned readings from the Walden e-Guide and the document, “Technical Tips for Learning at Walden,” in the Learning Resources.
• Review this week’s media program, “Tips for Effective Online Composition and Communication.”
• Think about some strategies you have used, or read about, that may be beneficial for effective planning, time management, communication, and technology use.
• Consider how the strategies you have identified can contribute to being a successful online learner.

By Day 3

Post a description of at least one strategy for each of the following areas related to online success: planning, time management, communication, and technology use. Explain how/why you think use of each strategy will contribute to your success as an online learner.

Support your Discussion assignment with specific resources used in its preparation using APA formatting. You are asked to provide a reference for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

The Evolution of Science and Sports

‘Sports’ have likely been around as long as there have been people. Every society has its favorite pastimes, and today with ever-advancing technologies, there is the ability to design high-tech equipment and utilize a host of specialists to help athletes perform better. It is such an important part of society that there are now fields dedicated to the study of sports medicine and fitness. No matter what sport or type of recreation you enjoy, the principles of science are involved.

Take a look at how science helps in different sports from football, to swimming, to NASCAR™.

AH216 Week 3 Discussion

Surgical Package and Global Period

Imaging you are interning at a busy general surgeon’s office. From your reading,  you recall the term “global surgical package”. There are 3 types of global surgical packages based on the number of post-op days.

Describe in detail each one of these. Select a procedure from the zero post-op category and one from 90 day post-op category and indicate why each falls into the category it does.
