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 understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.

Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview.

Provide a 1,500-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the following questions:

1. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the world?
2. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?
3. As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?
4. What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
5. Given the above, what options would be morally justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?
6. Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you were in George’s situation?

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Hi Maria! Thank you for sharing your response. Reflecting on the organization in which you are currently employed, what evidence based interventions or changes has the organization undergone? At the time of implementation, did you observe barriers that prevented nurses from participating in the change process? What barriers were present, and what was done to effectively remove these barriers?

The definition of evidence-based practice is to ‘integrate best research with clinical expertise and patient values for optimum care, and participate in learning and research activities to the extent feasible” (Finkelman, 2019). The use of evidence-based practice is necessary in nursing care in order to provide patient-centered care that is effective and of good quality (Finkelman, 2019).

Warren et al. (2016) identify the main barriers to the implementation of evidence-based practice by nurses as a lack of organizational readiness to implement evidence-based practice, lack of fiscal resources to support evidence-based practice education, and age and work experience with younger, less experienced nurses lacking the confidence to implement evidence-based practice into their nursing practice.

I personally have little experience with evidence-based practice and research and believe that one of the most prominent barriers to implementing evidence-based practice I have seen is lack of knowledge about evidence-based practice and research and lack of experience in the use of evidence-based practice in nursing care. Strategies that can be used to remove these barriers are measures such as taking a course on evidence-based practice, consulting advance practice nurses on the use of evidence-based practice, attending a conference where the use of research in nursing practice is presented, volunteering to serve on committees to set policies and protocols, or by staring a program where experienced nurses can mentor newer, less experienced nurses (Finkelman, 2019).

Assignment: The “Haves” and “Have Nots”: Why Are There Disparities?

Earlier in the course, the different population health outcomes of two culturally and economically similar neighbors (the U.S. and Canada) were considered. This week, the focus shifts to the eastern hemisphere and an examination of health inequalities between and within nations with large, diverse populations.

Both India and China had similar health outcomes at the end of WWII. Unlike India, China’s health improved tremendously over the next 30 years. When it did not have a focus on economic growth, China’s health achievements surpassed India. Since the economic reforms 30 years ago, health progress in China has not been growing as much. Today, India is booming and is home to some of the richest people in the world, but it is also home to more food insecurities than anywhere else in the world.

To prepare for this Assignment, review your Learning Resources this week. Consider how certain large populations within a single political entity can still display disparate health outcomes. Think about how areas such as Kerala can have remarkably different health outcomes than the countries they are in. What makes those areas different from the rest of the country?

The Assignment (3–4 pages):

• Describe two health outcomes for which India and China have had different experiences in the last half century.
• Explain the reasons for the disparities noted.
• Describe the experience for those outcomes in Kerala and suggest reasons for why they are similar or different from the rest of India.
• Expand on your insights utilizing the Learning Resources.

Use APA formatting for your Assignment and to cite your resources.

Examine changes introduced to reform or restructure the U.S. health care delivery system. In a 1,000-1,250 word paper, discuss action taken for reform and restructuring and the role of the nurse within this changing environment.

Include the following:

1. Outline a current or emerging health care law or federal regulation introduced to reform or restructure some aspect of the health care delivery system. Describe the effect of this on nursing practice and the nurse’s role and responsibility.
2. Discuss how quality measures and pay for performance affect patient outcomes. Explain how these affect nursing practice and describe the expectations and responsibilities of the nursing role in these situations.
3. Discuss professional nursing leadership and management roles that have arisen and how they are important in responding to emerging trends and in the promotion of patient safety and quality care in diverse health care settings.
4. Research emerging trends. Predict two ways in which the practice of nursing and nursing roles will grow or transform within the next five years to respond to upcoming trends or predicted issues in health care.

You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice.
