Utilizing Solar Energy to Meet Future Energy Need Order Description The foundation of the research study begins with a review of theories, methodologies, and measurement considerations central to the research question. The review identifies gaps in the literature and how the proposed research adds to the knowledge base. Whether the research question focuses on theory development, theory extension, or theory application determines the appropriateness of the sources used. For instance, the sources may include government documents, databases, books, professional journals, refereed academic publications, and dissertations that form the rationale for the current undertaking. Based on the nature of the research, the literature could also be focused on similar contexts or practices to establish the importance of the project for particular audiences, address their shortcomings and advantages, and provide justification for the research project The literature must be evaluated and interpreted, properly referenced, and presented in a manner which develops an argument for the importance of the research and the appropriateness of the methods used in the research. The literature review must: be a selective and analytical summary of the documents essential to the research, be presented in a logical manner to support the candidate’s claim as to the merit of the inquiry, and provide all the substantiation necessary from the literature to proceed with the study. After completing the literature review section, the candidate should be confident that it: 1. Supports the existence of the problem. 2. Includes contrary or controversial opinions fairly and objectively. 3. Is well organized and written to provide a framework for the proposed study. 4. Is analytical, and not just a presentation of what has been done by others. 5. Discusses how the investigation fills a void in the literature.

Disorders of the Veins and Arteries Order Description Week 4 Assignment Application: Disorders of the Veins and Arteries Advanced practice nurses often treat patients with vein and artery disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While the symptoms of both disorders are noticeable, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other conditions, making the disorders difficult to diagnose. Nurses must examine all symptoms and rule out other potential disorders before diagnosing and prescribing treatment for patients. In this Assignment, you explore the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of CVI and DVT. To prepare: •Review the section “Diseases of the Veins” (pp. 585–587) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders. •Explore patient factor ethnicity, Think about how the factor might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected. •Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. To complete: Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: •Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis. •Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TOO: •CONSTRUCT TWO MIND MAPS—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper. This paper needs to explore more of the pathophysiology at the point of where the bacteria enters the body or when it begins. Also, MUST USE RESOURCES THAT ARE NO OLDER THAN 5 YEARS. HAS TO BE CURRENT ARTICLES. Required Resources Readings •Huether, S. E., & McCance, K. L. (2012). Understanding pathophysiology (Laureate custom ed.).
