Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Journal

Point of View

You are a parent of a child who has a serious peanut allergy.  You are meeting with your child’s new teacher to explain this allergy and what specific needs your child has.  Your goal for this meeting is to ensure your child’s comfort and safety in the classroom by communicating your expectations to the teacher.  
 

For your journal entry, reflect on the following questions: How do you expect your child to be treated not only by      his teacher, but by the rest of the school staff?  How would you want the school staff to talk with the      other children about your child’s specific needs and accommodations?  In addition to the teacher, who else should be involved      in ensuring the safety of your child?  

Journal Options: Written reflection journal.  Jing      reflection with visuals, and paste the link into your discussion post.  Peer dialogue reflection (where you discuss the      questions above with a peer or colleague and write a reflection that      compares their peak experience with your own.)   Create a short video to relate your answer. 

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your journal entries.

1. Search the internet and learn about the cases of nurses Julie Thao and Kimberly Hiatt.
2. List and discuss lessons that you and all healthcare professionals can learn from these two cases.
3. Describe how the principle of beneficence and the virtue of benevolence could be applied to these cases. Do you think the hospital adminstrators handled the situations legally and ethically?
4. In addition to benevolence, which other virtues exhibited by their colleagues might have helped Thao and Hiatt?
5. Discuss personal virtues that might be helpful to second victims themselves to navigate the grieving process.

Module 7 Assignment Description

Recall from the chapter on the central nervous system (CNS) that the general senses detect such stimuli as touch, pain, and temperature. General senses refer to the fact that these receptors are relatively simple and located throughout the body in both the skin and internal organs. The special senses, in contrast, are so named because they convey a specific type of information from specialized sensory organs in discrete locations of the head. For this assignment you will;

Imagine you are driving or biking on a high-traffic road and you are approaching an intersection with a four-way stop and railroad train track. Additionally, there are three cars in the other lanes of the intersection and visibility is decreased because of foggy weather conditions.
Describe what special senses you will use to make the determination to safely proceed into the intersection.
Then, in a detailed summary, explain the pathways for each of the special senses involved.
Describe the pathways for the special senses not involved in this case and explain why they are not used.
Describe how the brain interprets information from each of those special senses.
Describe how the brain sends messages to the body to react to information from these special senses.
This assignment is a recorded presentation of 8 to 12 minutes. You should prepare a slide presentation and record your delivery of the presentation. This PowerPoint® (Microsoft Office) or Impress® (Open Office) presentation should be a minimum of 20 slides, including a title and reference slide, recorded audio and be sure to include a reference slide.
