NUR645E Advanced Health Assessments for Nurse Educators Week 8 Discussion: How to recommend mastectomy
Discussion: How to recommend mastectomy
DQ1 Your neighbor has taken an online health risk assessment tool for breast cancer and tells you that the results show she is at risk for breast cancer. She knows you are a nurse and wants a referral for a mastectomy. What do you say to her? Defend your rationale with references (APA format).
DQ2 Your brother-in-law was told by his provider that he is at risk for cardiovascular disease. He does not believe it. He said the doctor was a fool and will not change any of his eating or exercising habits. What would you say to him? Defend your rationale with references (APA format).
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.
