  I NEED A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED IN THIS ARGUMENT..BETWEEN 150-200 WORDS.

 

Bioethics is the the study of the position of ethics in a world of progressive technology and medicine.  Bioethics is built upon four main principles which include: respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and justice. These four main principles create principlism. (Grand Canyon University, 2015). Every bioethical decision must be viewed through the light of these four principles along with the individual details of each case presented. The answers to these four principles will also be extremely different depending on the worldview of the investigator. A Christian responding to these questions would have a different approach than a Hindu. Although these principles outline an approach to solving ethical issues in medicine are they truly unbiased? Probably not.  As a Christian, we do all things and make all decisions based on the knowledge and authority of God. I would personally, as a Christian first and a nurse second, rank the importance of each of the four principles as stated below:

1. &  2. Nonmaleficence and beneficence − Do no harm and prevent harm are very similar and both rank as my number one priority. Mark 12:30-31 states one of the greatest commandments is to love your Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. The second greatest commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Based on these commandments is my decision to make nonmaleficence and beneficence the priority. 

3. Respect for autonomy – Respecting the choices of a competent person.  The definition of competent is at times hard to assume and can become a great legal debate I believe it is a high priority.  I do not believe a Jehovah’s witness is making the best medical decision to refuse blood, but I do respect their spiritual views and feel they have the right to make this decision.  Just as I feel I have the right to practice my faith according to the Bible, I believe they have the same rights to deny blood based on their faith.  I do not want to have the right of autonomy jeopardized as Christians fall into the minority, and an oppressive society is a majority. It is a right of free will. God gives us all free will to choose Him or not.  In Genesis 2:16-17 He gave Adam and Eve both free will to eat from any tree in the garden of Eden except the tree of good and evil.

4. Justice- Requires resources be given fairly and that all cases be treated similarly regardless of status, race or religion of the patient.  Psalms state “Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times” (Psalms 106:3, English Standard Version). As a Christian and nurse, I believe this to be true. 

In the ICU I have encountered many situations where these ethical principles are not followed.  One particular case I can think of was the treatment of a “confidential, high authority” patient.  Our hospital goes out of its way to cater to these individuals.  We had a member of the house of representatives as a patient.  Extra care was given, a one to one nurse was assigned, visitor rules were ignored, and an extra bedside sitter was ordered to be in the room while the nurse was not able to in order to avoid having to put restraints on the patient. Justice was not displayed in this case as we do not do this with all of our homeless, suicide attempts, alcoholics, or drug overdose patients, but we did for this member of Congress.

Per Course-notes.org the sampling theory is defined as a field of statistics that is involved with the collection, analysis and interpretation of data collected from random samples of a population. In other words, if we want to study all people with schizophrenia in Arizona, how would we do it? It is nearly impossible to study all of them- or the entire population that have schizophrenia, therefore, only a small part of the population is going to be studied, this is a sample.

Generality can be defined as the research findings and conclusions from a study conducted on a sample population applied to the population at large. In other words, generalizability depends on the degree to which the sample result can represent of the population. As an example, the researcher studies a sample of people with schizophrenia from Arizona than applies the results to a larger population with schizophrenia. Or a nurse studies a sample of population who had a fall in Progressive Care Unit in the last 5 years and applies the results to the entire population admitted to PCU.

Some requirements of generality are the need to have a study sample that represents some population of interest in our case people with schizophrenia, to understand the contexts in which the studies are done and how these studies influence the results. However, it does not matter how carefully researchers are during the research, there is no absolute guarantee that the results obtained in a study will occur in every situation outside the study.

Re:Topic 2 DQ 1

 

In an experiment or research where it is imposable or expensive to sample the entire population, a small sample is used to conduct the research. A sampling method is the process of selecting a small group that are representative of a larger population being studied. Samples can be made in different ways. All these ways are not equally good. Most studies a random sample is used for this reason. A random sample selected in such a way that every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected (Fraenkel & Wallen). A random sampling method is designed to select a representative sample by using chance selection so that biases will not systematically alter the sample (Fraenkel & Wallen). A true random sample, that is a small set of data can give insights which can be applied to a much larger group. Simple random sampling is achieved by random selection of members from the sampling frame(Grove & Cipher, 2017).

 

Example; When Joint commission come for inspection to the unit, they pick one RN to interview randomly. Every nurse who work on that floor has the same chance being selected for the interview.  

 

A sample group is used to conduct research or study there is always a chance for error because it can never fully match the entire population. It can be prevented by;

 

Researchers should strive to ensure that the sample population truly represents the total population. Statistical tests have built in checks to ensure true sample and the numbers can only be an estimate

I am very much enjoying the author’s voice in “Bioethics: A Primer for Christians.” I am probably one of the only non-Christians in this class, so I find Meilaender’s style approachable and his explanations of the Christian religion easy to follow and understand. I appreciate the preface where he says “all are welcome and invited to listen in.” I am grateful for this opportunity to learn more about the Christian religion, as the majority of my patients in west Michigan are of this faith! I like that he points out the revisions he has made over time as science has changed over the years. I think it is important to continually examine individual beliefs and be open to changes in perspective without compromising core values and beliefs. Healthy, respectful discussions with our peers are essential in these changing times.

 

“We need not, I think, fear that seeking medical help necessarily demonstrates lack of trust or faith on our part. Rather, it indicates only that we trust God to care for us mediately – through the love and concern of others” (Meilaender, 2013). I think this is a beautiful statement on the analysis of disease and healing. God can present Himself in indirect ways, such as through the healing hands of a doctor or nurse. If a patient is struggling with a diagnosis, going to the hospital for modern treatment does not mean they do not have faith in God. Just as people rely on their church communities for emotional and spiritual support, they can come to the hospital with physical symptoms and be treated without judgment from other people. As nurses, if we try to see each patient as God sees them, no matter who they are or what they may have done in life, we truly are serving these people and their families.

 

I’ve had people I just met hug me and thank me for what I do when they find out I’m an oncology nurse. This surprised me early on in my career, but then the person would go on to tell me a story of someone close to them who had cancer. People associate us with healing, and sometimes a hug from a stranger can be just the sign someone needs that God is watching over them.

Procreation is a biological occurrence that is endowed by our creator. Reproduction includes using scientific means to create a child or “product” such as artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and surrogacy. A child created bu procreation is begotten while a “product” that stems from artificial means is considered made. A child who is thus begotten, not made, embodies the union of his father and mother. They have not simply reproduced themselves, nor are they merely a cause of which the child is an effect. Rather, the power of their mutual love has given rise to another who, though different from them and equal in dignity to them, manifests in his person the love that unites them. Their love-giving has been life-giving; it is truly procreation (Meilander, 2003).

I find myself conflicted about this issue. I do not like the thought of any child being called a product and it just seems morally wrong. However, I do have my own opinions about how these alternative methods have provided people who are not married the opportunity to have children. I know that many don’t agree with my opinion but I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman and though I do not feel anyone should be crucified or bullied for making a choice to be in a same sex relationship, I do not believe that they should be able to adopt kids or parent kids by any other means. My sister married a woman after having three kids and I talk to them about how they feel often. Mostly, they are confused by it but the oldest one holds a lot of anger. Also, I don’t believe that single people should have children. Every child should be afforded the opportunity to have both a mother and a father. I think that is important for their development.

Week 4: Nurse/Patient Empowerment in Practice

Introduction

As a registered nurse, you have the power to influence change in patient outcomes. An important aspect of influencing change is identifying areas that need improvement. This is done primarily through measurement of data. There are several different measures to gather data within organizations as well as on a national scale. Some of these measurements include core measures, standards, best practices, evidence-based practices, and the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI). These support mechanisms have also been discussed as a means for helping nurses to deliver quality care and improve patient safety. Each measurement essentially focuses on providing care that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable. 

Although there are several different measurements, NDNQI data is used in the process of attaining Magnet Recognition. Magnet Recognition is the highest honor a health care organization can receive for nursing excellence and high-quality patient care. The nurse-specific measures presented in the NDNQI help inform nursing staffs and their organizations of areas where nursing practices can be improved and where nursing practice efforts are producing positive clinical outcomes. Nurses must be directly involved in developing and implementing action plans based on the data presented by the NDNQI.

This week, you will explore the importance of nurse empowerment in effecting change and how action plans are created based on the results of the NDNQI as presented on a dashboard. You will also consider how nurses advocate for patients’ rights, even when that means supporting a patient whose personal choices may have negative health outcomes. 

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Evaluate strategies to empower both the nurse and the patient to improve quality of care
  • Analyze the use of National Database of Nursing Quality Indictors for nurse empowerment in practice
  • Analyze nurse empowerment in relation to use of quality improvement data for practice 
  • Analyze practice experiences for patient or nurse empowerment
  • Analyze quality improvement dashboards for nursing plans 

Note: The Assignment related to these Learning Objectives is introduced this week and submitted in Week 5.

Discussion: Nurse/Patient Empowerment 

As a nurse, you are the individual who has the ability to empower patients in the decision-making process pertaining to their health care. In addition, you are in a unique position to empower your nursing colleagues to improve job satisfaction and use performance indicator data from dashboards to effect social change. 

In this week’s Learning Resources, you examined both the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) and the key role nurses play as advocates for patient rights. To assist nurses in being better prepared for this role, programs such as Patient Care Partnership provide guidance. 

For this Discussion, you will analyze the use of quality improvement data and discuss how this data can help empower both patients and nurses. Review the Patient Care Partnership information presented in this week’s Learning Resources. In addition, reflect on the media presentation and the information shared by Ms. Manna on patients’ rights. 

By Day 3

Respond to the following: 

  • What are the best strategies the nurse can employ to empower patients and support patients’ rights to improve quality of care? (Some considerations to keep in mind may include: providing information on effectiveness, risks, and benefits of alternative treatments.)
  • In what ways can NDNQI data from dashboards or quality improvement data be used to support nurse empowerment in practice? 
  • How has your institution empowered the nursing staff through the use of quality improvement data?
  • Provide an example of how you have personally empowered either a patient or a fellow nurse.

Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 250–350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing.

In today’s interconnected world, a disease threat anywhere is a disease threat everywhere. With the ease and speed of global travel and a rapidly expanding business network, it is very easy for diseases to spread within cities, nations and globally. It is with this need the United States department of Health and Human Services Office of Global Affairs is supporting implementation of global health security agenda to accelerate progress toward a world safe and secure from infectious disease threat.

 

A global issue that should deserves serious attention is HIV/AIDS. HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus. It weakens a person’s immune system by destroying important cells that fight disease and infection. While AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. This HIV/AIDS pandemic is the world’s leading infectious killer. Worldwide, there are 37 million people living with HIV. 1.2 of 10.4 million people with active TB each year also have HIV (CDC,2017).

 

Most states have now implemented HIV surveillance reports and thus, the prevalence estimates of HIV cases are more reliable, Nonetheless, these HIV surveillance reports may not reflect the true number of HIV-positive persons because many people do not want to know their HIV status and are not tested, while others use widely available home testing kits and do not share their HIV status with at-risk intimate partners. An estimated 21% of HIV-infected persons are unaware of their HIV status (CDC, 2010m).

 

The United States and other governmental agencies are coming together to work collaboratively to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Some agencies such as the Department of the State to provide essential leadership to interagency by providing human resource services, budget tracking, funds transfers to other agencies, and by providing office space and other important technologies.  The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) work to provide prevention, treatment and care programs to developing countries in conjunction with the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).  The HHS and PEPFAR work in conjunction with the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institute of Health (NIH), Office of Global Affairs (OGA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Department of Commerce (DOC), Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Labor (DOL), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and the Peace Corps all in the common tide to turn against HIV/AIDS. CDC in its fight against HIV/AIDS, provides antiretroviral treatment for men, women and children, antiretroviral treatment to prevent mother-to-child transmission, voluntary medical male circumcisions, Screenings of HIV-positive persons in care for TB and HIV counselling and testing.

 

It is evident that the United States in conjunction with other countries are taking necessary measures to fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Re:Topic 5 DQ 1

 

Assessment of the geriatric patient focuses on the promotion of quality of life, maintaining self-care, and preventing disease and its complications.    Often there are chronic diseases that need to be addressed.    Some of the major issues are weight and diet, activity, fall prevention and home safety.    Pneumococcal and seasonal influenza immunizations are important for this population  (Edelman, Mandle, & Kudzma, 2014, p. 616) .    The comprehensive assessment of the geriatric patient incorporates physical and mental assessments, functional status, social and economic status, pain, and safety of environment.    The goal is to identify the strengths and weaknesses to provide adequate interventions for promotion of independence and prevent  decline (Jarvis, 2016, p. 831) .      Functional status must be determined, it is one’s ability to live in society and function as they did in their younger years.    The nurse can observe functional ability or ask questions of the patient or the caregivers.    There are tools for assessing activities of daily living that can aid in this assessment.    In the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, contains assessment of eight items; use of telephone, shopping, meal preparation, housekeeping, laundry, transportation, self-medication, and management of finances.    Final scoring does not matter as much as identifying strengths and needs  (Jarvis, 2016, p. 833) .

 

The quality of life for an older person is closely linked to the social function.    Social assessment focus is on family relationships, social groups, and community support.    Is the person in pain?    Assess pain right from the start, address the pain with medication and then move on to the assessment.    Pain impairs the assessment.    The geriatric patient will need more time for their assessment.    Consider the feelings of the patient, they may be frightened if they cannot answer questions or perform physical function testing, they may be fearful of the consequences of the results of  assessment (Jarvis, 2016, p. 843) .    The assessment is multidimensional with many aspects to consider.    Knowing the normal aging process and results of chronic disease will aid the nurse in this assessment.
