Using the template below, write 3 NANDA-I approved nursing diagnoses in a proper format based on the client case provided below.  (NO RISK diagnosis).
Write one SMART client-centered goal for each nursing diagnosis.  (Total of 3)
Consider the clients medical history and medications.
Kacie Benson, a 19-year-old woman, is a client on your unit due to a skiing accident.  She is unconscious and may or may not regain consciousness.  She is on complete bedrest.  She requires frequent repositioning to maintain correct body alignment and attention to her ROM.  She responds to painful stimuli with slight non-purposeful withdrawal.  No spontaneous movements are noted.  The recent lower extremity ultrasound showed no evidence of venous thrombosis, and she continues on low molecular weight heparin injections.  Her fluid and electrolyte balance is being maintained by a tube feeding at 60 mL per hour continuously.  She is incontinent of stool and has an indwelling Foley catheter.  Her heels are reddened, but otherwise, her skin is intact.

Chosen character from novel is Nwoye.

Now that you have observed the attributes of the characters in the short stories A&P and Greasy Lake, compose 3-4 body paragraphs that could serve as a character analysis of your chosen character in Achebes novel.  
What type of character are you analyzing?  How are language and the style/tone of the story used to formulate the character?  Is the story reflective of the character, or the character of the story? How would a reader from another country or culture potential draw different conclusions about the characters in these stories?
Your response should mirror the format we used in Module 2, so:
Working thesis (revised)
Paragraph 1:
Topic sentence
Cited evidence
Analysis
and so on.
For a successful critical thinking assignment:

Have a strong thesis statement
Use specific textual support from the short story in the body of your paper.
Proofread for errors in spelling, grammar and writing mechanics. Vary sentence structure and sentence length to add interest.
Follow APA guidelines with regard to font style, size, margins and spacing. For specific information, go to the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
Use APA when citing the text; include a reference page citation at the end of the paper for the literary works you used. See the tutorial in Module 1 or consult the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.) (used for this class).
If you have questions about citing in APA, contact the CSU Global Librarian at [email protected]

Because this is a popular article, if you choose to analyze logos, you do not need to find information from an additional source about the type of evidence that a discipline values (as you will need to do in your rhetorical analysis essay). Instead, you will skip that step in your paragraph. Please follow the directions below to complete this discussion board. 

After reading Ten ethical flaws in the Caster Semenya decision on intersex in sport, do the following:  https://theconversation.com/ten-ethical-flaws-in-the-caster-semenya-decision-on-intersex-in-sport-116448 

1. Identify the overall argument and the intended audience, and state that first.  This is very importatnt because the last sentence of your paragraph will explain whether the appeal helps persuade the intended audience to believe the overall argument.
2. Write one paragraph analyzing ONE rhetorical appeal. After deciding the appeal you want to analyze, find that appeal in the criteria for success in the RHETORICALANALYSIS assignment sheet, and include all of the necessary paragraph components (excluding the writing convention for logos). 
3. Include a correct MLA 8th edition in-text citation after the example of the appeal and add the works cited citation after your paragraph. This is how to do a works cited citation for a page on a website: 

For an individual page on a Web site, list the author or alias if known, followed by an indication of the specific page or article being referenced. Usually, the title of the page or article appears in a header at the top of the page. Follow this with the information covered above for entire Web sites. If the publisher is the same as the website name, only list it once.

4. Respond to ONE other student’s posts by commenting on the strength of their analysis. This is a learning experience, so it’s okay to be constructively critical.

———————————————————————————————
RESPOND TO:
The author presents this overall argument:
It is unethical to require intersex athletes to adhere to surgery or to lower their testosterone levels to compete as women. The ruling is inconsistent with the values of sport and human rights and is also inconsistent with the treatment of other athletes. It can be discriminatory to some as it favors a specific type of person over the other. By requiring these changes, it abandons its previous ethics and morals to turn to a more unjust outlook of sex and gender. 

The intended audience:
The topic of transgender and intersex competitors in sports has been a long-discussed one. The intended audience would have to be the sports community, as this topic is constantly relevant and debated. This article aims to educate competitors, coaches, and fans about the unfair and unethical treatment of intersex people in the sports community.

Analyzing Ethos:
At the top of the article, the author’s credentials are stated to the right. Some of these credentials include Visiting Professor in Biomedical Ethics at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics at the University of Oxford. His credibility on the subject of ethical treatment allows the audience to trust his judgment when it comes to the ethics behind intersex peoples’ treatment in sports. Sex determination was abandoned in the 1990s in favor of gender. Many intersex athletes, including Semenya, have trained and competed fairly in competitions so to require intersex people to get surgery or to lower their testosterone levels, after not being forced to for years, would be highly unethical. The author argues that there are far safer alternatives to requiring intersex athletes to have surgery or to lower their testosterone. In paragraphs 47 and 48, the author states “Cisgender female athletes could take testosterone up to 5 nMol/L. This would reduce any advantage Semenya may have. It would also deal with the problem that up to 40% of elite athletes are currently doping anyway” (Savulescu, Ten ethical flaws in the Caster Semenya decision on intersex in sport). Savulescu also states “The CAS decision… does not cover a condition called congenital adrenal hyperplasia, which can cause elevated levels of testosterone in women with XX chromosomes. The implication is that XX females are real women, while those with XY chromosomes are not (Paragraph 18-20). This ideal that XX females and XY females are not equal would also lead to an unethical view about women and intersex people. 
The author also uses statistics in paragraph 22, to prove that Semenya is a fair competitor whose chromosomes don’t determine her ability to perform better than other competitors. “The difference testosterone makes between males and females in all events is estimated to be up to 12% (all other items being equal). But Semenya’s best time is only 2% faster than her competitors. It is not possible to determine how much of this 2% is due to testosterone, and how much due to other factors about her as an athlete, or her psychology” (Savulescu, Ten ethical flaws in the Caster Semenya decision on intersex in sport). Proving there is no advantage to being an intersex person in sports, will hopefully lead to fair and ethical treatment. There is no difference between being cisgender and intersex as long as they all play by the same rules and are given no advantages. If there is an unfair advantage, there are safer and more effective ways to allow equality rather than forcing intersex people to change who they are or not compete. The author was effective in his use of ethos to persuade the audience to believe the overall argument because of his knowledge of ethics and his credibility along with the statistics given to prove his knowledge on the subject.
