I NEED A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED IN THIS ARGUMENT..BETWEEN 100-120 WORDS

Substantial evidence has now been provided that stakeholder involvement is essential for management effectiveness in clinical research and implementation of new proposals. Feedback from stakeholders has critical value for research managers in as much as it alerts them to the social, environmental, and ethical implications of research activities. Additionally, those who are directly affected by program development and clinical research, the patients, their families, and others, almost universally have a strong motivation to be involved in the planning and execution of new program changes. Stakeholders are the customers, suppliers, the general public, and any other group, which are likely to be affected by the organization’s ultimate decisions. The process of incorporating the ideas and input from these groups has been termed “stakeholder engagement.” It reflects an increasingly accepted attitude that organizations not only have an ethical obligation to involve the participation of stakeholders in their collective activity but also in so doing their overall organizational effectiveness will be enhanced (Pandi-Perumal, Akhter,  Zizi,  Jean-Louis,  Ramasubramanian, Freeman,  & Narasimhan, 2015).  The process of identifying, engaging stakeholders must begin well in advance so that dialog is seen to play an important part of project implementation; no decisions should be already made before commencing stakeholder engagement on project-related issues. Stakeholder engagement is intended to help administrators fully realize the benefits of applying community and patient interest in hospital programs, and to ensure that research and program changes benefit those who are most directly affected. The stakeholder focus group is a communication medium through which the opinions of individuals or groups of individuals who are impacted by the research can be elicited. Focus groups can also serve to clarify each stakeholder’s role and responsibilities, as well as promoting an overall understanding of the project requirements. Such processes also provide stakeholders with an environment in which they can express their opinions and feel that they have been heard (Pandi-Perumal, Akhter,  Zizi,  Jean-Louis,  Ramasubramanian, Freeman,  & Narasimhan, 2015).

The role of nationalism became a huge thing during the interwar period because of the growing feeling of a sense of independence wanted by many citizens.  There was a period of  “deglobalization” in which economic nationalism, or the belief that countries should be as self-supporting as possible, predominated (Shubert, A. & Goldstein, R.J. (2012)).  There was such a concern for famine that many governments imposed tariffs to prevent exports of food.  Nationalism is the belief that people were defined by their membership in a nation and owed that nation their primary loyalty. (Shubert, A. & Goldstein, R.J. (2012)).  “Nationalism is an ideology about individuated being. It is an ideology concerned with boundedness, continuity, and homogeneity encompassing diversity” (The Nationalism Project, Handler, R.).  A nationalist would argue that three basic requirements would constitute being a nationalist.  The first is that there exists a nation with an explicit and peculiar character.  Secondly, the interests and values of the nation take priority over all other interests and values.  Lastly, the nation must be as independent as possible (The Nationalism Project, Breuilly, J.).  Nationalism in the Allied countries was accepted for the most part, whereas nationalism in the Axis countries was not as accepting and nationalists were even punished.  Ernest Gellner explains that regardless of how individuals feel about their own nation they are only nationalists if they are of the same nation and share the same culture such as ideas and ways of behaving and communicating.  Additionally, they are of the same nation if they recognize each other as belonging to the same nation (The Nationalism Project, Gellner, E.).  There is much debate over the exact meaning of the word “nationalism” and whether or not it is a good thing or a bad thing and if it is better to be all in or only partially in.  “For our purposes, let us define it at the outset as a large social group integrated not by one but by a combination of several kinds of objective relationships (economic, political, linguistic, cultural, religious, geographical, historical), and their subjective reflection in collective consciousness” (The Nationalism Project, Miroslav, H.).

Please reply to this post with a minimum of two paragraphs with two references, APA Style, and no plagiarism. 

-The management of acute and chronic pain often includes opioid therapy. In both the acute and chronic pain settings, however, opioids have several disadvantages including risk of nausea and vomiting, somnolence, constipation, respiratory depression, androgen deficiency, physical dependence, and tolerance. Opioid medications also carry a risk of abuse or addiction by either the patient or non-medical users. For these reasons, consideration of non-opioid strategies for pain management is beneficial. While opioids will certainly continue to have a place in pain management despite their disadvantages, the use of non-opioid medication options may limit the amount of opioid necessary or even result in improved pain control. In fact, given that the majority of both acute and chronic pain is thought to be complex and multi factorial, a multi modal analgesic approach is ideal for management. Acetaminophen is typically considered first-line therapy for chronic pain conditions, including osteoarthritis (OA) and chronic pain associated with total knee arthroplasty. However, many times patients are treated inappropriately with opioids instead.

Acetaminophen is considered first-line treatment for many pain conditions because of its safety advantages. Compared with other analgesics available, acetaminophen is associated with very few adverse events and is considered safe to use chronically. Healthcare providers strive to “first do no harm.  Therefore, for most chronic pain conditions, a trial of acetaminophen should be used and monitored for effect before initiating other analgesics, including opioids. However, acetaminophen is not without risks. Safety concerns associated with acetaminophen include serious liver damage if ingestion is greater than the recommended total daily dose of 4,000 mg. Long-term high doses of acetaminophen and accidental overdose from inadvertently consuming multiple acetaminophen products are the leading causes of acute liver failure in the U. S. For this reason it is important that the patients who are utilizing acetaminophen chronically for pain are educated on proper dosing and administration, and are aware of any other acetaminophen-containing products they may use. The disadvantage of acetaminophen is that it often cannot provide a sufficient analgesic effect and does not exert a specific anti-inflammatory effect, causing many patients to discontinue or switch therapies.

Response to student 

One quote that stood out to me was in Chapter Six from Hershey, page 125, “Now even though party loyalties have regained much of their influence, candidates still tend to downplay their partisanship as a means of attracting voter support.”

This stood out to me because in a number of ways we as voters see candidates by their party and often times not as the individual. Although candidates might not reinforce or reiterate that they are a Democrat or Republic, we as voters are trained through the media and by our social relationships to see these individuals as a party. While candidates want there to be a strong following from the party that they are representing, they are wanting to downplay it in hopes of gaining undecided voters or turning voters from the other party.

Another way this stood out to me was in relation to the Si Se Puede article. In that article, the results found that in Latino communities they were more likely to vote for someone of the same ethnic background as them. Whereas, in white or black communities the vote for a Latino candidate was much lower. I found this interesting because of the party ties that it can have. According to the data, a Latino voter is more likely to vote for a Latino candidate regardless of party affiliation.

310 DB1 REP2 (75 WORDS)

There are a lot of natural resources in the world and the ocean is one of them.  Since the ocean covers 70 percent of the earth it is the largest natural resource for us.  When it comes to this natural resource it comes with direct and indirect environmental values, one main direct environmental value would be educational and scientific values, in our text the author states “if a scientist uses a particular mineral, body of water, or species for research that advances knowledge, we may attribute that to scientific value” (Dale, 2015).  This certain scientific value brings a lot of value to the ocean since about 91 percent of the species in the ocean still need to be identified (Mora, Tittensor, Adl, Simpson, & Worm, 2011).  As for indirect values there could be a lot as well, however one of the indirect values could come to pass in the future if the ocean begins to dry up, this would be a scarcity value which is a value that humans hold of a resource that eventual becomes rare (Dale, 2015).  As for putting a value on the ocean I think that we can not put a value on this natural resource since we can not put a market value on the ocean.

One threat to the ocean is oil pollution.  This has been seen a couple times the most recent was the Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010.  The events of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill were one of the largest oil spills in the history of the U.S. spewing over 4 million barrels of oil over the course of 87 days into the Gulf of Mexico (EPA, 2017).  Florida just passed an amendment that would ban offshore drilling in the election at the beginning of the month the amendment called for the banning of oil or natural gas drilling in state waters. This amendment will elevate the treat from oil pollution in the ocean for the coast of Florida.

When it comes to worldviews that influence the policy tension two of them come to mind, the first is anthropocentricism since this worldview means human centered, which in turn means that everything was put on earth to meet the demands of humans (Dale, 2015).  A lot of people believe that everything was put on this earth to make our lives easier.  The other worldview that I see is biocentrism which is self-centered, or humans are just one component of an associated natural framework (Dale, 2015).  The ocean is one natural resource that needs to be protected not just for us but for the living creatures that currently inhabit it as well.  The ocean provides us with air, food, and water so we need to do what we can to protect what is left.

Explain the implications of globalization.

With globalization being a process that allows the world to interact and get closer to each other without being close. Liberalism is explained to be the opinion which has a belief that an increasing level of globalization is not good for the economy. According to this perspective globalization implies that the richer become and continue to exploit the poor and get richer and on the other hand the poorer continues to being exploited and get even poorer than the normally are.

Identify at least two ethical issues that go along with the global societal topic you have chosen for your final essay.

Besides being that we humans and are made of 70% water, the global water shortage affects all whom populate the earth. Water is the foundation for many of our food and plant sources which makes water and water supplies valuable. This becomes a ethical issue when we do not have water to wash in, drink etc. Like Flint Michigan crisis when they switched water being pumped from Detroit to the Flint River with the rising levels of lead found in the water this wasn’t a global issues but a city issues at the same time it was seen around the world. The global water shortage is a worldwide, animal, and plant wide issue.

Explain how globalization contributes to or affects these ethical dilemmas.

Globalizations affects the production and consumption of items in our day to day lives, it also affects our culture and the environment. Which ties ins to climate change, pollution and our water resources.

Propose solutions to these ethical dilemmas that are feasible financially, socially, and culturally.

We have set goals to clean up sanitation and water ways however these goals are not being met and millions of people live without clean water. We should ensure that groups that do not have a voice are spoken for and provision are made to ensure that we can get water to them and the regions they live in. Create changes and strict dumping and pollution fines for companies and individual. To ensure what fresh water ways we have left stay fresh for generations to come.

COMMENT ZOE

I NEED A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED IN THIS ARGUMENT..BETWEEN 100-120 WORDS

A clinical problem I am seeing during my practicum is the readmission rates. These readmission rates could be due to a variety of underlying issues such as language barriers, failure to understand discharge teaching, insufficient time to adequately provide discharge instructions or noncompliance. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) have put fourth measurements to help decrease hospital readmission rates. The CMS defines readmission as “an admission to a subsection hospital with in 30 days of a discharge from the same or another subsection hospital” (CMS, 2017). Three main diagnosis that were identified by CMS for having high readmission rates are, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, and pneumonia (CMS, 2017). In my experience working on the cardiac unit there are many times we see patients readmitted for heart failure due to a failure to comply with their medication regimen. The increased readmission rates have an effect on nursing.     Two nursing implications of increased readmissions, specifically related to heart failure are improved knowledge and instruction about heart failure, and coordinating care after the patient has been discharged. Nurses must be further educated on the process of heart failure and how to better educate their patients prior to discharge. This can mean further education for nurses and increased time spent by the hospital to provide the education for the staff. The coordination of care post discharge is important to decrease the readmission rate for heart failure patients. A way to encourage patients to follow discharge instructions is to check in with them on a regular basis after discharge, this might be done through a phone call or a visit. I know that my hospital was trying to implement a process when an RN will call the patient at different intervals following discharge to check in with the patient. I think that both furthering an RN’s education about heart failure and implementing a system in which patients are checked in with after discharge could reduce the readmission rates of heart failure patients.       Reference:     Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).
