Design a plan of care (Care Plan) for the scenario below (Frank). Be as specific as possible. Remembering that you should prioritize the POC.

Always remember to focus on d/c planning as well as inpatient. Look at Cultural, societal, medication issues, dietary issues, and make sure you utilize the nursing diagnosis (not the medical diagnosis) to focus your care plan.

Scenario:

Frank is a 38 yo male pt admitted to a Med/Surg unit with a diagnosis of Left Lower Extremity Cellulitis secondary to Diabetes. Community-associated methicillin-resistant Streptococcus aureus is the probable cause. To treat the infection the healthcare provider has ordered I. V. antibiotic therapy. Frank has a history of Paranoid Schizophrenia with delusions and auditory hallucinations. He lives with his sister and she reports that he does not work because of his disability, drinks six beers and smokes two packs of cigarettes a day, and spends most of his time watching TV. She adds he is unmotivated to change or try new things. She reports he has not been taking his medications for awhile now and is experiencing frequent auditory hallucinations and delusions that people are trying to kill him. She reports when he is on his medications he is more motivated and the hallucinations/delusions are lessened, while not completely gone. In the past he has been on olanzapine (Zyprexa) and gained 20 pounds since he started it. He is also taking the extended-release formulation of Metformin. He has had nutritional counseling but has been non adherent to the nutritional recommendations.

Attention: Shirley Tyler

Re: South West -and-Napoleon’s Crepes, Inc., 846-2011-36106

Dear Ms. Tyler:

The following position statement is submitted by Napoleon’s Crepes, Inc. (“Napoleon’s” or the

“Company”) in response to the charge of discrimination on the basis of race, color and sex filed
by South West (“West” or the “Charging Party”). Napoleon’s has investigated these charges and
found no evidence to support the Charging Party’s allegations.

The facts supporting our denial of age discrimination are set forth in detail below and clearly
demonstrate that West was not subjected to discrimination of any kind by Napoleon’s. We
respectfully request that the EEOC issue a no cause determination in this matter}

OVERVIEW OF NAPoLEoN’s CREPES, INC.

Napoleon’s Crepes was founded 50 years ago in Waterloo, near Belgium, when master chef
Duke Wellington founded a pastry company that was named in honor of the legend of Napoleon
Bonaparte. Since its introduction to America in 1976, Napoleon’s continues to be the leader in
the premium pastry category. Napoleon’s owns and operates more than 250 boutiques and shops
worldwide where consumers can find a comprehensive selection of Napoleon’s offerings.
Napoleon’s products are also available at finer department and specialty stores.

“Earning the respect of others” and “Demonstrating high ethical standards” are core values set
forth in Napoleon’s’s Leadership Model, and key contributors to its success. Napoleon’s
encourages its associates to create an environment where people are safe to express their ideas
and opinions, and takes care of its associates by recognizing and rewarding good performance,
and by leading and developing their skills. In fiirther support of commitment to its personnel, a
Human Resources Generalist is available on site to partner with store management on human
resource matters and to assist our associates with personnel and human resources related matters.
I This position statement is submitted to assist the EEOC in its investigation and is based on the undersigned’s
knowledge of the facts at the time it was prepared. The Company expressly reserves the right to submit additional
facts or arguments as may be warranted by subsequently discovered infonnation. The Company also submits this
information in an attempt to resolve Charging Party’s complaints and, as such, this position statement does not
constitute an affidavit, and it is not intended to be used as evidence in any judicial or administrative proceeding.

Briefly identify five community partners or stakeholders that you think are central (or should be) components of your selected county’s public health system.

Briefly identify five community partners or stakeholders that you think are central (or should be) components of your selected county’s public health system. These must include nongovernmental entities.

Week 3
Organizational Models at State and Local Levels
Your Learning Resources this week describe various organizational models for public health. These models vary considerably within the country. The health departments in New York state, for example, are free standing, reporting directly to the governor, whereas the health departments in North Carolina and Maryland are part of a “superagency.” Some local health departments are an extension of the statehealth department, while others are autonomous from it, though influenced by the state. Still others are semiautonomous. Any of these departments might be responsible to the city or county government or a combination of them. There are benefits and disadvantages to each of these state and local models.

Prepare for this assignment by reviewing the various organizational models, as described in your chapter, at the state and local levels. Consider these models in light of the principles of systems thinking.

SURPRISINGLY, MANY OF US MAY BE UNKNOWING VICTIMS OF BOTNETS. BECAUSE OF THE RISING SOPHISTICATION OF BOTNET SCHEMES, YOUR COMPUTER CAN BECOME A ZOMBIE ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPUTERS THAT FLOOD A VICTIM’S NETWORK AND BRING DOWN SERVERS.

WHILE THE ATTACK IS GOING ON, THE BOTNET INFECTS THE NETWORK WITH SPAM, VIRUSES, AND MALWARE. WHAT ARE THE FOUR SIMPLE RULES OF STOPPING BOTNETS ON YOUR PERSONAL PCS?

dq 1

Data Breaches (graded)

Use one of your favorite search engines (preferably www.google.com) and search world’s biggest data breaches.Select at least two of the major data breaches from the list you found and complete the following.

Explain how they impacted you.
Many of the breached companies had standard security controls like firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Discuss what was missing in their designs and processes.
Add other items that you believe organizations should improve on to avoid breaches.
dq 2

Data Integrity as Part of CIA Triad (graded)

Data integrity verifies that data remains unaltered in transit from creation to reception.

Explain what would happen if we were to remove Integrityfrom the CIA triad.
Discuss how integrity helps with confidentiality and access control.
Discuss the overall impact to digital communication without data integrity.

DeVry SEC280 Week 2 Discussion 1 & 2

dq 1

Symmetric Encryption (graded)

The initial encryption standard developed by NIST was called data encryption standard (DES). DES is too weak for modern applications since the key size is only 56-bit. It was replaced by advanced encryption standard (AES). AES has variable key sizes and can require a key size of 256-bit.

Discuss if you think AES key size has a direct relationship with algorithm strength.
Do you think that AES-256 is necessarily better than AES-128?
How long do you think it would take to launch a brute force attack on AES-128 using a standard computer?

dq 2

Asymmetric Encryption (graded)
Asymmetric encryption is based on the concept of a private key to decrypt and a public key to encrypt. RSA and Diffie-Hellman are two common algorithms used for asymmetric encryption, and they are extremely slow and can be used in limited applications. The key sizes are much larger than symmetric algorithms.

Explain why asymmetric algorithms, such as RSA and Duffie-Hellman, are relatively slow.
Discuss why asymmetric encryption algorithms require larger key sizes

DeVry SEC280 Week 3 Discussion 1 & 2

dq 1

Asymmetric Encryption—the RSA Algorithm (graded)

Asymmetrical encryption uses one key to encrypt and another key to decrypt. The most common algorithm used in applications is the RSAalgorithm. RSAis based on prime numbers.

Select two small prime numbers and compute Product = (p-1)(q-1)and select a number ebetween 1 and Product.The ethat you computed is a simplified example of a public key. Post your selection and computation.
The RSA algorithm and most asymmetric encryption are considered slow. Based on your computation, explain why the algorithm is slow.

dq 2

TLS/SSL (graded)

TLS/SSL is used to secure http traffic on networks. For this post, access a website requiring HTTPS.

Find and post all the protocols that the site is using (click on the lock on the right end side of your browser menu for IE).
Find the public key and paste it in your post.

DeVry SEC280 Week 4 Discussion 1 & 2

dq 1

Hashing Algorithms (graded)

Secure Hash Algorithm is the current hashing standard established by the National Institute for Standard and Technology. It uses a 160-bit hash but lately most organizations are moving toward a 256-bit hash.

Is a 128-bit hash no longer sufficient for integrity checks?
Explain the likelihood of a collision in a 128-bit hash. You do not need to explain the mathematics.

dq 2

Digital Signatures (graded)

A digital signature is a technique to validate the integrity and authenticity of a message. The signature provides assurance that the sender is the true sender, and the message has not been changed during transmission.

What are the similarities between a digital signature and a handwritten signature?
Differentiate among the three different classes of digital signatures.

DeVry SEC280 Week 5 Discussion 1 & 2

dq 1

Access Controls (graded)

There are two basic ways to tell if a network or system is under attack. These are with intrusion-detection systems (IDSs) and intrusion-protection systems (IPSs). Discuss how each of these approaches is different. Do not forget to include how network-based and hosted-based systems come into play.

You work for a small bank that has only 11 branches, and you must design a system that gives notice of a possible attack. Discuss what tools can be used, how they can be implemented to protect the bank, and how they can notify the appropriate people when the network comes under attack.
dq 2

Application Security (graded)
Testing for an unknown is a virtually impossible task. What makes it possible at all is the concept of testing for categories of previously determined errors. The different categories of errors are
1. buffer overflows (most common);
2. code injections;
3. privilege errors; and
