1. Discussion: Street drugs
Discussion: Street drugsDiscussion: Street drugsReview the following case study and
complete the questions that follow. Submit your completed paper to Blackboard using the
assignment link.As a public health nurse at a free clinic, you are assessing and interviewing
a 21-year-old woman who has come to the clinic because she doesn’t have any energy and
hasn’t felt good in weeks. During the interview, you learn that she averages one meal per
day, smokes up to two packs of cigarettes per day, and rummages through trash to find
items she can sell to purchase food, snacks, and cigarettes. She admits to using street drugs
every once in a while when she can find someone who will share with her. She admits her
life is a mess and she doesn’t know how to make it better.What data can you gather based
on available client information?What questions should you ask yourself while interviewing
this client?During planning, how can you, as the nurse, best assist this client?What are the
potential strategies that would assist the client to a “better” life?Your paper should be 2
pages in length, in APA format, typed in Times New Roman with 12-point font, and double-
spaced with 1” margins. If outside sources are used, they must be cited
appropriately.ORDER NOW FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread
your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker;
failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to
suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will
be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and
make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your
paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected
mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or
compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is
better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress
it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing,
increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any
other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable,
wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted,
double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When
submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to
read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
