assignment week 5

 Details:

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2 of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.

In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research: How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?) In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS? What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia? Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why? Finally, present and defend your own view.

Support your position by referencing at least three academic resources (preferably from the GCU Library) in addition to the course readings, lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is required.

#3 Care Coordination Presentation

Develop a 20-minute presentation for nursing colleagues highlighting the fundamental principles of care coordination. Create a detailed narrative script for your presentation, approximately 4–5 pages in length, and record a video of your presentation.

Nurses have a powerful role in the coordination and continuum of care. All nurses must be cognizant of the care coordination process and how safety, ethics, policy, physiological, and cultural needs affect care and patient outcomes. As a nurse, care coordination is something that should always be considered. Nurses must be aware of factors that impact care coordination and of a continuum of care that utilizes community resources effectively and is part of an ethical framework that represents the professionalism of nurses. Understanding policy elements helps nurses coordinate care effectively.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to educate your peers on the care coordination process. The assessment also requires you to address change management issues. You are encouraged to complete the Managing Change activity.

Completing course activities before submitting your first attempt has been shown to make the difference between basic and proficient assessment. Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: Competency 2: Collaborate with patients and family to achieve desired outcomes.  Outline effective strategies for collaborating with patients and their families to achieve desired health outcomes. Competency 3: Create a satisfying patient experience.  Identify the aspects of change management that directly affect elements of the patient experience essential to the provision of high-quality, patient-centered care. Competency 4: Defend decisions based on the code of ethics for nursing.  Explain the rationale for coordinated care plans based on ethical decision making. Competency 5: Explain how health care policies affect patient-centered care.  Identify the potential impact of specific health care policy provisions on outcomes and patient experiences. Competency 6: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead patient-centered care.  Raise awareness of the nurse’s vital role in the coordination and continuum of care in a video-recorded presentation. Script and reference list are not submitted. Preparation

Your nurse manager has been observing your effectiveness as a care coordinator and recognizes the importance of educating other staff nurses in care coordination. Consequently, she has asked you to develop a presentation for your colleagues on care coordination basics. By providing them with basic information about the care coordination process, you will assist them in taking on an expanded role in helping to manage the care coordination process and improve patient outcomes in your community care center.

To prepare for this assessment, identify key factors nurses must consider to effectively participate in the care coordination process.

You may also wish to: Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure you understand the work you will be asked to complete. Allow plenty of time to rehearse your presentation.

Note: Remember that you can submit all, or a portion of, your draft presentation to Smarthinking Tutoring for feedback, before you submit the final version for this assessment. If you plan on using this free service, be mindful of the turnaround time of 24–48 hours for receiving feedback. Instructions

Response #2- 6050

at least 2 references in each peer responses! 

One opportunity for an RN or APRN to actively participate in policy-making would be to join an organization. This could be a state nursing association or a national one. For example, the American Nurses Association (ANA) is a solid national organization that unites nurses, from all backgrounds and specialties, and encourages us to be strong advocates for our patients and for our own roles in healthcare. This may mean on a smaller scale at our own facilities or on a larger scale on Capitol Hill. A challenge that I might face when joining one of these large-scale organizations is that it is not very personal. You would have to actively seek relationships with fellow colleagues to build beneficial relationships. If you’re able to do so, though, the benefit may be that you create many relationships in many different areas of the country so that you may learn from each other and create helpful contacts. 

A second opportunity might be to develop a mentor relationship with a member of the state legislation that is involved in health-care related policy-making. You would get a first-hand experience with how policy-making happens as it happens. It is one thing to read about it and another to experience it. This would be very beneficial to bring your experiences back to your local community or health-care facilities and to bring your personal experiences to the legislative floor. The biggest hurdle to do this would be actually meeting someone who would be willing to mentor you. This might be where a relationship developed with someone on the ANA or in the administration/board of your hospital might be able to assist. In both cases, developing contacts and networking is a must.

I had never thought about the need for nurse advocacy involved in direct legislation until this class and I am sure that I am not the only one. It might be advantageous to the entire nursing body to start teaching about nurse advocacy and legislation while in nursing school. It would give those who lean more towards this direction the ability to be familiar with the process from the beginning and direct their careers right from graduation. 

Lastly, I think that facilities should encourage their nurses to join nursing organizations or nursing boards/committees when they are hired and every year during their annual evaluations. Gathering personal stories and experiences from the beginning of their careers will allow nurses to show personal and professional growth over time that can put a face to situations that we encounter every day.

Chapter 5 – Ambulatory Care

Assigned Readings:  Chapter 5

Answer the following questions: Identify the major factors that have resulted in the shift in utilization from inpatient hospitalization to ambulatory care services. Describe the implications of this shift for hospitals, consumers, and the health care delivery system as a whole. In what ways have private practice physicians responded to the expansion of hospital, health plans’ and other organization-sponsored ambulatory services?  What are the implications of those responses for the patient, for the consumer, and for the health care industry as a whole? Hospital emergency departments continue to be used as an ever more important source of primary medical care by large numbers of the community’s medically underserved population. What are the implications of this practice for the patients, and on health care costs and quality of care? What would you propose as a means to change this situation?  Almost two-thirds of all surgical procedures are now performed in ambulatory surgery facilities. Discuss the reasons for this shift of surgery from the inpatient setting and its effect on hospitals and consumers. Some people support the role of public health departments in providing preventive and treatment services as necessary to fill gaps in the system for the medically needy. Others believe these services are more efficiently and effectively provided through private organizations. What is your position on this issue and why?
