Question Description
Module 10 Case Study

Mary G. is an 85-year-old Latin-American widow with COPD, hypertension, and is hard of hearing. She is at the clinic today with a daughter, who lives next door, because she is having increase shortness of breath, gained 5 pounds in a week, has swelling in her ankles, and jugular vein distension.

Describe three teaching resources
Identify the teaching strategies that can be used
List the specific instructions that may be needed regarding her medication and what adverse reactions to be aware of/and what to do
Identify two factors that may negatively influence adherence to the medication and how they can be overcome
Describe how to include the family
Provide information on how and when she should seek support and help

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
