Description The purpose of this assignment is to encourage analysis of one patient beginning with the history and progressing to the physical examination. Go over the pathophysiological processes and mechanisms of human disease, clinical signs and symptoms, and diagnostic data consistent with the pathology of common health problems. Determine appropriate medical treatment and nursing care based on best practices found in the literature. This assignment emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving through the correlation of cellular and multi-system pathology with related assessment and diagnostic data, medical treatment, and nursing management. Directions Complete a comprehensive history and physical case study analysis incorporating topics presented in the course. You should include at least five current references less than five years old (of which three must be journal articles, not nursing textbooks). The paper is in APA, 6th edition, format. APA 6 format requires that you use correct grammar and spelling and double-space your entire paper. Average length of paper: 10 to 12 pages.

Should We Withhold Life Support?

Write a 2-3 page paper that examines the moral and ethical issues involved in making a decision regarding limiting life support.End-of-Life IssuesWith our framework of ethical theories and principles in hand, we begin our look at some of the critical ethical issues in our contemporary world, starting with end-of-life issues. This assessment covers ethical questions related to end-of-life care. Passive euthanasia is the removal or refusal of life-sustaining treatment. Examples of passive euthanasia include removal of a feeding tube or a ventilator, or forgoing a life-prolonging surgery. Passive euthanasia is legal in all 50 states, and the principle of autonomy gives informed patients the right to refuse any and all treatments. Patients who are unable to make such decisions in the moment (because they are unconscious, for example) might have made their intentions clear beforehand with an advance directive or similar document. Things become more complicated, however, when a patient who is unable to make treatment choices has not made his or her wishes clear, either formally in a written document, or informally in conversations with family members or friends. Another problem concerns cases in which there is disagreement about whether the treatment is sustaining the life of a person in the full sense or merely as a body that, because of severe and irreversible brain trauma, is no longer truly a living person.Active euthanasia, or assisted suicide, introduces further difficult moral questions. A patient who has a terminal illness and who has refused treatments that would merely prolong a potentially very painful and debilitating death might want the process of dying to be hastened and made less painful. The patient might want to take his or her own life before the disease reaches its horrible final stages. Should patients be legally allowed to have help in this endeavor? If suicide itself is not morally wrong, at least in cases like these, is it wrong for another person to directly help bring about the patient’s death? Is it wrong for doctors, a role we naturally associate with healing and the promotion of life, to use their medical expertise to deliberately end a patient’s life if the patient wants this?Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1: Articulate ethical issues in health care.Articulate the moral issues associated with limiting life support.Competency 2: Apply sound ethical thinking related to a health care issue.Demonstrate sound ethical thinking and relevant ethical principles when considering limiting life support.Explain important considerations that arise when contemplating limiting life support.Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals.Exhibit proficiency in clear and effective academic writing skills.PreparationCase Study: Mr. Martinez.

Description

To the writer. Just write the paper and I will do the video. Thanks Create a 5-10 minute-video in which you will propose an evidence-based plan to improve the outcomes for a patient and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care. As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration.

It may be something that affects the entire country, a specific region, or a community (such as rural or urban communities). You may choose a problem within your own community. It may be something that affects a particular profession or field in health care. Your paper can focus on something you have read about or a firsthand experience as a health care professional or consumer.

Retrieved from https://www.jointcommission.org/ Review the general information on the scope and purpose of this accrediting organization. The Role of Ethics Committees Most health care organizations today have an ethics committee comprising various staff members and community members. The committee consults with staff and administrators on cases posing particularly challenging ethical dilemmas, but it has other functions as well.

Consider the following: What are the primary duties of an ethics committee? On what types of cases does the committee consult? Does the committee simply determine what should be done in such cases? What kinds of professional roles are represented on ethics committees? What is the value of ethics committees to your professional role? If you have direct experience with ethics committees, what have you observed? Preparation Identify a current issue in health care ethics that you consider urgent. This may be an issue at the national level, in your own community, or anywhere in between. You may focus on something you have read about or know from firsthand experience as a health care professional or consumer. Instructions Write an analysis of a selected ethical problem in health care. You must respond to each of the following criteria. You may choose to respond to any or all of the prompts below each criterion. Effectively summarize ethical issues surrounding a health care problem. What is the problem? Which communities and populations does it affect? What are the ethical issues raised by the problem? Demonstrate sound ethical thinking in applying ethical principles and moral theories to a specific problem. What are the reasons you consider it the most important (or among the most important problems)? What is the cause or causes of this problem? Why does it persist? Apply ethical theories and principles to the selected ethical problem. Which ethical principles (and perhaps moral theories) are most relevant to understanding this problem as an ethical issue? Analyze the ethical problem from the perspectives of various stakeholders. Who are the key stakeholders regarding this problem: the affected health care consumers (patients or clients) and health care professionals (such as doctors, nurses, administrators)? Are there other stakeholders, such as community or government groups? Are there any institutional policies or legal or regulatory considerations that affect the problem? Is there a conflict of interest at the heart of this problem? If so, what is the conflict and who are the stakeholders with competing interests? Assess the policy, legal, and regulatory components to the ethical problem. Which communities or regions does it affect most? Is this a localized problem or a national problem? What legal and regulatory issues have an influence on this problem? Which institutional policies affect this problem? Develop a solution to the ethical problem based on ethical theories and principles. What is the best solution to this problem and why? What are the best resources for solving this problem? How did you make this determination? Submission Requirements
