To Prepare:

Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how to assess, diagnose, and treat patients with conditions of the head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
Review the case study provided by your Instructor. Based on the provided patient information, think about the health history you would need to collect from the patient.

Identify three to five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
Consider the patient’s diagnosis. Think about clinical guidelines that might support this diagnosis.
Develop a treatment plan for the patient that includes health promotion and patient education strategies for patients with HEENT conditions.

Annabelle is a 9 year old who comes with her mother today. Her mother states that Annabelle started out with a “runny nose” 3 days ago and then last night woke up during the night complaining of pain in her right ear. Mom took her temperature and it was 99.4 degrees oral. She gave her Tylenol and it came down to 98.0 degrees. Mom is concerned because Annabelle’s temperature typically runs 97.0 degrees and she tells you “For Annabelle, 99.4 degrees is a high fever”. Mom tells you that Annabelle is drinking well but does not want to eat. She has had a couple of loose stools this morning but no blood in her stools.
Currently, her vital signs are 99.1 oral, AHR 110, RR 18. She looks like she doesn’t feel good and is sitting quietly with a frown.

1. What additional questions would you ask Annabelle and her mother today? –
2. Do you agree with mom that 99.4 is a significant fever? Why or why not?
3. What will your focused physical exam include?
4. What will your focused physical exam include?
5. When you look inside Annabelle’s right ear, you visualize what appears to be a piece of popcorn sitting in outer two-thirds of the external auditory canal. The canal is red and has swelled slightly but you can see around the kernel. TM appears gray. In deciding how to proceed, you think about your options. Should you irrigate the ear with water? Why or why not?
6. Prior to any type of procedure, you have the mother sign an informed consent for a procedure. What are the three major areas you must discuss when doing any type of procedure?
7. When removing a popcorn kernel from her ear, you seat Annabelle with the affected ear facing you. She is quite calm and cooperative. You decide to use a curette to try to get behind the kernel to pull it out. Why is it important to keep a hand resting on her head while using the curette?
8. You remove the kernel from her ear! Since the EAC is quite swollen and red, and somewhat abraded from the curette, what might you prescribe for her? Please list the directions as you would put them in a prescription.
   The student should pick an appropriate otic topical antibiotic and list the directions appropriately.
9. What would be your postprocedure education?
   Use all of the medication as prescribed; FU in one to two days; report headache, fever, drainage, and/or severe pain from ear.

Overview

We live in an increasingly diverse and multi-cultural world. Once, one rarely encountered anyone who did not know who the Apostle Paul was and, indeed, did not already possess considerable information about him. That is not as true today. What we know, or think we know, about the Apostle Paul derives from many different sources: what we learned in church, what we have read in the New Testament, what the popular culture says about him, and so forth. All of this information gets folded into our contemporary understanding of Paul. As a backdrop for our serious inquiry into Paul, Apostle of Jesus Christ, it is important to have a clear and self-conscious portrait of who we understand Paul to be now, before we begin our serious study of Paul in the primary sources, Luke’s Acts of the Apostles and Paul’s own writings. Following a serious study of Paul in the primary sources, we might discover that our portrait of him has changed, or not. Either way, our current portrait of Paul becomes a “benchmark” of sorts for the study ahead.

Instructions

Imagine you are a reporter for your local television affiliate reporting for the 6 o’clock news. Using your cell phone, tablet, or camera-equipped computer, video yourself doing a “field report” on “The Apostle Paul” to a television audience that is hearing about him for the first time through your report. Set the video in your time (today), not in the first century. You can shoot the video either “in the studio” (your home or office, etc.) or “in the field” (with a church for a backdrop, for example). Include in your report what you consider to be the irreducible minimum of information your television audience must know about Paul in order to know who he was. You decide what that is. Keep in mind that you are describing Paul as you currently understand him. This is not a “research project” on the Apostle Paul. Because you only have three (3) minutes in which to capture Paul for your audience, you may wish to compose a short script to memorize or a set of bullet points from which to work, as television reporters do.

• Length of video: three (3) minutes maximum length.
• No source citations are necessary.
• When complete, upload your video to LU’s Media Page (watch.liberty.edu), copy and paste the video’s URL into an MS Word document (“doc” or “docx” file), and upload the Word document as your assignment submission (do not upload the video directly to Canvas). Be sure your uploaded video is not marked “private;” if it is, the instructor will not be able to view it.

Note: If there are compelling reasons why the student cannot complete the assignment as described, contact the instructor and they will provide an alternative method for you to complete the assignment.

Overview

You have set up interviews and asked the following questions of the interviwees.

• Who initiated the mentoring relationship—the Mentor or the Mentee?
• When and where do you meet?
• How is the time spent? (Format, accountability, confidentiality, evaluation)
• What is the most difficult aspect of the relationship?
• What is the most significant result of the relationship?

By taking the time to interview these individuals you have begun to gain a list of best practices and things to avoid while mentoring.

Instructions

After your interviews, create a 5-page report in a Word document and your program’s required formatting style (APA, Turabian or AMA) which includes the following:

• Introduction: Provide a rationale for why mentoring is important.  (1-page)
• Compare and contrast the 2 mentor interviews. Provide analysis of the strengths and weaknesses to their approaches. (3 pages minimum)
• Conclusion: Describe the top 3 lessons on mentoring learned from the interviews and how they will impact your implementation of mentoring. (1 page)
