A contrary case is a well-defined instance that is not represented by the concept (Walker and Avant 2011). The example of such a concept is Mr. Lorenzo, 24-year-old who is being seen at the center after falling off a forklift at work. During the examination, he is happy and does not show any signs of pain. He never at any one time refers to broken hand that occurred after the fall, he is talking about the last night’s game and how his team lost by a few points. The characteristics from this case do not reflect any defining attributes of pain management.

Welcome to class
Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to
I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.
Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.
If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.
Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.
Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.
I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!

- Invented Case
Walker and Avant (2011) describe an invented case as a concept being taken out of context of our own experience. This case is an example of an invented case. Prostate is a 70year old male who lives in Testicles, Spanish territory. He is married to Urethra and they have a son Bladder. Prostate is a farmer by profession and has a BPH degree in Agriculture specializing in vegetables and fruits gardening and harvesting mostly sweet potatoes, Zucchini, cucumber and grapefruits. He made concentrated grapefruit juice from his grapefruits. A few months ago, he noticed that his grapefruits were getting bigger than usual even though it was not raining much.
He worried about his fruits. When it rained, he spent the nights hearing the rain dribbling on the roof and one day the rain went through the roof onto the bed leading to his wife Urethra’s horror Screams! He went to see his physician, Dr. Flomax who helped him
find a medication to relax the cloud muscles for good rain flow into his garden. Prostate was assured that his problem was benign; so, he was prescribed Avodart fertilizers to use daily to stimulate the rain flow and then follow up in three months. Mr. Prostate was warned not to mix the fertilizer with the grapefruit because this could cause toxicity to the entire garden. When he got home, though he told his wife that he hated that nurse Cystoscope. At his three months follow up, he showed up at the office, he reported no more dribbling on the roof, he sleeps better, and the fruits are close to a normal. He reported that though he misses the grapefruit juice he is happy without it. At his appointment Prostate reported only positive results about his garden and fruit. He acknowledged understanding his treatment regimen and precautions. He determined to continue the fertilization in order to live long and take care of his garden. This case meets criteria because it is made out of human experience.
- Antecedents and consequences
Walker and Avant (2011) explain Antecedents as a precursor that happens before the concept occurs. In reference to pain management, antecedents include an event or illness that causes pain on the patient. The patient recognizes the painful stimuli, then they physically or mentally feel pain. Consequences are described as instances that happen because of a concept (Walker and Avant, 2011). They are the outcome we see when a concept takes place. Consequences to follow pain management would be to consult a physician about the pain so that the right pain management regiment would be established. Consequences could bring about positive outcomes where the patient after they seek treatment, or it could be negative where the pain is not relieved.
- Empirical Referents
Empirical referents of the concept are a group of ideas that occur or represent the concept itself (Walker and Avant, 2011). Empirical referents are same as defining attributes. Looking back at defining attributes, we know that pain is subjective and also an emotion. The empirical referents for pain management would be monitoring for signs and symptoms of pain using the pain scale, moaning, grimacing, verbal complaint, facial expressions.
