Ethic roots

I would like for you to look at your past and your family members and think about which half of your family is closest to their ethnic roots (MY MOTHER’S SIDE). Once decided you can start down the road of discovery.

This work should portray your experiences along with the group that you identify with, and the comfort level and possible deviation to that grand scheme you or your family has experienced, when dealing with death or dying.

 COVID-19 Testing Mandate

Consider the following scenario:

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, state Governors took significant steps to protect residents, including the most vulnerable populations, nursing home residents. In Oklahoma, Governor Kevin Stitt issued a policy that required any “staffer” entering a nursing home to produce a negative COVID-19 test result.

Place yourself in the role of a nursing home administrator in this situation, and respond to the following:

1. What are the gaps in this policy? (Policy is italicized above).
2. Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not?
3. Because this is mandated by the state, your facility must comply. Briefly explain how you will ensure compliance while maintaining the integrity of evidence-based practice.
4. How is the relationship between science and politics investigated?
5. Review an evidence-based article that speaks on how scientific research has been used for political gain or advancement of policy creation and implementation.
