the Asian culture

In the Asian culture, there is often a belief that terminally ill patients should not be informed about their prognosis. Would you respect the cultural practice and not inform a patient about the prognosis? Is there a way for health care providers to balance the patient’s right to know with respect for the cultural practices and beliefs of the family? Is not fully disclosing information to the patient an ethical breach?

pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics processes of a patient

Analyze factors that may influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics processes of a patient and assess the details of a personalized plan of care that you develop based on influencing factors and patient history. You will also evaluate and analyze ethical and legal implications and practices related to prescribing drugs, including disclosure and nondisclosure, and analyze the process of writing prescriptions to avoid medication errors.

There are several readings and media that you will cover this week. You have a discussion that is due this week (Wednesday), and final posts are due by day 6 (Saturday). You also have a Assignment to complete this week.

The Topic for this weeks assignments is:

· You see another nurse practitioner writing a prescription for her husband, who is not a patient of the nurse practitioner. The prescription is for a narcotic. You can’t decide whether or not to report the incident.

health history interview

According to a 2011 Gallup poll, nurses are ranked as the most trusted professionals in the United States. One of the most admired nursing skills is the ability to put patients at ease. When patients enter into a healthcare setting, they are often apprehensive about sharing personal health information. Caring nurses can alleviate the hesitance of patients and encourage them to be forthcoming with this information.

The initial health history interview can be an excellent opportunity to develop supportive relationships between patients and nurses. Nurses may employ a variety of communication skills and interview techniques to foster strong bonds with patients. And to effectively facilitate the diagnostic process. In conducting interviews, advanced practice nurses must also take into account a range of patient-specific factors that may impact the questions they ask, how they ask those questions, and their complete assessment of the patient’s health.

This week, you will consider how social determinants of health such as age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental situation impact the health and risk assessment of the patients you serve. You will also consider how social determinants of health influence your interview and communication techniques as you work in partnership with a patient to gather data to build an accurate health history.

The Global Burden of Disease Study

“The Global Burden of Disease Study” is conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation and published in The Lancet journal. It captures and analyzes data on many major causes of mortality and morbidity from almost every country. The study allows researchers and practices to compare countries. And also help individual countries prioritize major health issues and risk factors with available resources. Review the background of the study by exploring the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation website as well as the various Global Burden of Disease (GBD) reports found in The Lancet journal. Create a PowerPoint presentation (five to seven slides, not including your title or references slide. That addresses one of the top five causes of mortality and morbidity from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD). Select the health issue based on a specific country of interest and include the following in your presentation

  1. Evidence and statistics supporting it as a major health issue. Such as the Disability Adjusted Life Years or other measures of mortality and morbidity. Indicate which country you selected.

2.   Four major risk factors related to the health issue.

3.   Potential gaps or limitations in the data

4.   Three social or economic opportunities to control or reduce the prevalence of this issue (reference the connection to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals).

5. Points of interest regarding this leading cause of mortality and morbidity related to the country you selected.

Include pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments, alternative therapies, and follow-up parameters for this patient , as well as a rationale for this treatment and management plan.

 

Very Important:  Reflection notes: What would you do differently in a similar patient evaluation?

Include the following in your paper: Describe the clinical situation concisely and descriptively. It can be an actual situation or a hypothetical one. Apply the Bioethical Decision Making Model Click for more options to the specific clinical ethical situation that you choose. Address each section of the model in your paper. Conclude with a discussion of nursing advocacy in the clinical setting and the nurse’s role as a patient advocate. Your paper should be 4-5 pages.

Identification Of Issue Significant To Nursing Practice

Identification Of Issue Significant To Nursing Practice

The Institute of Medicine has stated a goal that 90% of practice be evidence-based by 2020.  According to HealthyPeople.gov, the United States is currently at approximately 15%. Discuss two barriers that might hold nursing practice from achieving this goal and suggest ways in which identified barriers may be addressed.

 

Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years. There should be a mix between research and your reflections. Add critical thinking in the posts along with research. Apply the material in a substantial way.

the gastrointestinal (GI) system

The content covered so far includes the following:

Subjective, objective, assessment, and plan (SOAP) notes; physical examsS; history taking; head, eyes, ears, nose, and throat (HEENT); respiratory; and cardiovascular systems, in addition to the gastrointestinal (GI) system content that we are covering this week..

This GI system content this week will focus on the abdomen. The abdomen houses important organs such as the liver, spleen, intestines, pancreas, and the stomach. There are millions of office visits that abdominal complaints are responsible for each year. This week will look at common GI complaints related to the history, assessment findings, diagnostic testing, and differential diagnoses for the chief complaint.

key responsibilities of the nurse educator

Discussion Question:

Student assessment and evaluation are key responsibilities of the nurse educator. These processes provide students information for the student to improve and enhance performance. Evaluation of the student is often conducted at the end of a course, as an afterthought, and some consider this to be a less than ideal time for this to occur. Do you agree or disagree with that statement? Support your response from the textbook or scholarly literature.

the compensation of the chief executive of the health care organization

the compensation of the chief executive of the health care organization

Hospital executives often come under scrutiny for the salaries and benefits they receive. According to a recent IRS survey related to chief executive officer salaries, of more than 500 hospitals, the national average income was $490,000. In addition, the salaries of hospital and other health industry executives have come under scrutiny in Congress. For-profit hospitals, which make up about 30% of hospitals, do not have to publicly disclose how much the executives at each facility earn, but nonprofit hospitals must provide that information on the IRS form 990, which are public documents.

By law, hospitals are required to show that such compensation is “reasonable” when compared to pay at other similar institutions. If you were a board member of a healthcare organization, what other determinants besides the salary of other chief executives would you want information on before you determined the compensation of the chief executive of the health care organization whose board you are on? In addition, how do the responsibilities of chief executives compare to the responsibilities of other healthcare employees? Do these responsibilities warrant a substantially higher salary? Defend your answer.
