Assignment #17

1.  I chose the Wikipedia stub article about holistic nursing because it relates to my intended career path.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holistic_nursing)

2.  According to the “talk” page, the article about holistic nursing has been rated as “stub-class” by the Nursing Wikiproject.

3.  The “Certification” and “Global Initiatives” sections of the Wikipedia stub article about holistic nursing are underdeveloped. These sections should contain more detail about the training process for holistic nurses and the variation in implementation and care standards for holistic nursing in different countries, respectively. The article could also benefit from having sections about the history, goals, origins, and potential challenges of holistic nursing. Including this type of information would add depth and context to the article, which it currently lacks.

4.  There are twenty-five references, all of which are either academic textbooks, articles published in academic journals, or the websites of professional organizations. The hyperlinks to these references are functional. However, the article is flagged as having “insufficient inline citations.”

5.  The Wikipedia stub on holistic nursing contains the sections “Core Values,” “Certification,” and “Global Initiatives.”  Well-developed articles about other nursing specialties contain sections about the individual specialty’s history, notable figures, specific roles and responsibilities, and barriers to care.

 * 1) Immunoreactive trypsinogen (Immunoreactive trypsinogen)
 * 2) Benign neonatal seizures (Benign neonatal seizures)
 * 3) Holistic nursing (Holistic nursing)

Assignment #19

1. Benign neonatal seizures

2. The “Editing Wikipedia Articles on Medicine” guide will probably be the most beneficial to me for this particular topic.

3. This stub article could be improved by adding information about signs, symptoms, and causes of benign neonatal seizures. There should also be more detail regarding the difference between the idiopathic and familial types of benign neonatal seizures.

Assignment #22

United States Testing Protocols
As of the year 2010, immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT)-based newborn screening programs for cystic fibrosis have been implemented across the country. However, the specific testing protocol varies by state. Certain states require only a single immunoreactive trypsinogen test to be performed within hours or days of birth before requiring additional diagnostic screenings for infants with elevated IRT levels. Of these, some follow up one elevated IRT result with DNA screening to identify cystic fibrosis-specific genetic mutations. Other states mandate two IRT blood tests to be performed (one immediately after birth and one after a period of two weeks) before requiring any further testing. Newborns found to have abnormally high levels of immunoreactive trypsinogen and/or positive DNA screening results are referred to specialized facilities that perform sweat chloride tests to either confirm or rule out a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
