MN569 Advanced Practice Nursing: Written Patient Consult And Referral

/in /by

No Plegarism please, assignment will be checked with Turnitin. 

Will need minimum of 5 full pages, title, and reference page APA Style, double spaced, times new roman, font 12, and and (3 references within 5 years 2014-2018) with intext citations).

 

Patient care hinges in part on adequate and timely information exchange between treating providers. Referral and reply letters are common means by which doctors and nurse practitioners exchange information pertinent to patient care. Ensuring that letters meet the needs of letter recipients saves time for clinicians and patients, reduces unnecessary repetition of diagnostic investigations, and helps to avoid patient dissatisfaction and loss of confidence in medical practitioners.

As a Nurse Practitioner (NP) you will need to know the difference between a consultation and a referral for treatment, when ordering and when carrying out consultations or referrals.

Consultations

A consultation is a request for opinion or advice, so that the requestor can manage the patient. A consultation is billed under one of the consultation codes listed in Physicians’ Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) (99241-99245 for outpatient of office consultations). If the NP is the consultant, the NP should document the request for a consultation, the reason for the consult, and the NP’s evaluation and recommendations.

When an NP requests a consultation from another provider, the N P should request “consultation” on the referral form, rather than “referring.”

Referrals:

A referral is made when the referring provider wants to turn the management of the patient over to the referred-to provider, at least for the current complaint.

When a NP refers a patient, the NP should state on the referral form that the NP is “referring the patient for evaluation and treatment.” The referred-to provider will bill an evaluation and management code, rather than a consultation code.

Writing Assignment: Consult:

Write up a consult request and include all key elements.

Ms. Perez has been referred to Ms. Wilson FNP-C,APRN, MSN  for consultation regarding eczema unresponsive to treatment in the past six months.

Document the evaluation and recommendations for how Ms. Wilson FNP-C,APRN,MSN should deal with the consultation request and bill a consultation code.

Writing Assignment: Referral:

Write up a referral request and include all key elements.

As an NP and Ms. Perez primary care provider, you decide to refer her to Dr. Owens a dermatologist for evaluation and treatment regarding eczema unresponsive to treatment in the past six months.

1. Document your referral to Dr. Owens

2. Document the evaluation and recommendations for how Dr. Owens should deal with the referral and bill a referral code.

Written Paper (Microsoft Word doc): minimum 5 FULL PAGES, doubled spaced, words using 6th edition APA formatting

The Lotto Case (Hitting the Jackpot)

/in /by
Questions: 1. Is there necessarily one best decision for the group regarding the payout options? If so what is it and why?
Amount Of Jackpot $6,000,000
Option 1
A total $6,000,000 is paid over a period of 20 years through 20 equal installments.
Option 2
Lump-sum Jackpot Amount
Option 1 Annuity
Future Value (final balance) $6,000,000
Rate 3.00%
Nper 20
present value of Payment each year $216,790.53
Present Value of Total Amount paid at end of 20 years = $216,790.53 x 20 years $4,335,810.59
The group can choose the lump-sum option because its paying out more as compared to Annuity option in terms of time value of money concept.

THE LOTTO CASE (Hitting the Jackpot)

Questions:

1. Is there necessarily one best decision for the group regarding the payout options? If so, what is it and why?

The group can choose the lump-sum option because it is fair enough. They can get the advertised jackpot value if they wisely invest their proceeds. However the state lottery can invest the entire present cash value of the jackpot while the group will only be able to invest the after-tax amount. Therefore, to match the state lottery payment instalments, the group would have to earn a significantly higher investment return on their lump sum than the state would need to get.

2. What might be the reason(s) that Chad does not want to pay off his debt? Do you concur?

Chad’s decision why he does not want to pay off his mortgage is quite valid. His mortgage does not affect his home’s value. He thinks that his home will rise in value over time. His house value in the future will not be affected by his mortgage. In fact, he is going to build equity anyway.

Maybe Chad knows that the mortgage interest is tax-favorable. The mortgage is deductible at his top bracket, but the investments are taxed as low as 15%. Therefore, tax law makes it beneficial for him to maintain his mortgage.

3. Prepare a personal analysis of the pay out options for Bob, Chad and Dylan. Designate the preferred option for each individual and explain why.

For Bob, Chad and Dylan, though they all have different concerns and financial backgrounds, I would say that the three of them should take the Lump Sum option.

It is a smarter investment for them to take the lump sum option. The three of them will pay the income tax from their winning money. Putting that into a super conservative portfolio—without touching the principal amount—that returns around 3 percent would generate in a year. If they are going to die soon, their inheritors will still have the principal to play with.

Furthermore, they will have more control of their money. They can always make up for the difference by taking the lump sum and investing. So, there is no reason for them to wait for a yearly allowance from the lottery commission—which could go out of business theoretically—to spend or donate their money.

4. What non-financial factors might enter into the decision for the winners?

Other factors that impact the decision for the winners are whether they purchased their ticket on their individual selves or for the group, whether they are married, and whether they should do any estate planning before claiming the prize.

People have created general partnerships, limited partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, revocable trusts, and irrevocable trusts as the winner of a lottery prize. Whatever entity is created, it should be something that is justified under the facts and makes sense for the group. The three are unused to complexity as most lottery winners are. So, in this case, the group should not over-plan their situation and contribute to post-winning stress.

Academic Success And Professional Development Plan Part 4: Research Analysis

Architect Daniel Libeskind is credited with saying “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.” The suggestion is that his work does not copy the efforts of others but relies on it.

Understanding the work of others is critically important to new work. Contributions to the nursing body of knowledge can happen when you are able to analyze and articulate the efforts of previous research. Research analysis skills are therefore critical tools for your toolbox.

In this Assignment, you will locate relevant existing research. You also will analyze this research using a tool helpful for analysis.

To Prepare:

Reflect on the strategies presented in the Resources this Module’s Learning Resources in support of locating and analyzing research.
