You are the Chief Nursing Officer of a regional acute care facility in the Midwest. You have just been notified that one of your senior nurses with 16 years of experience provided a 2-year-old with the incorrect medication causing the child’s death. The parents of the child are non-English speaking immigrants unfamiliar with American law. 

Upon learning that a medication error occurred resulting in a child’s death, the Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) of a regional acute care facility held a press conference to announce the mistake. The conference centered on reporter questions about why the nurse was not fired. The CNO explained that the nurse was highly regarded and that the problem was a “system” problem, not simply a problem of an incompetent nurse. The CNO also explained that an examination of the medication administration procedures was ordered and that an electronic medication error avoidance system would be implemented to ensure that such an error would not happen again. Consider this scenario to address the following.

• As the CNO in the scenario, defend your decision to disclose the incident to the media. How does this decision influence value-based healthcare? What risks might you encounter? What impact might this decision have on you personally and professionally?
• At a regional health consortium, fellow CNOs remark that they would not disclose such an incident to the media. Provide two justifications for withholding disclosure of the error to the public. How does this decision influence value-based healthcare?
• Imagine you are the patient’s family. How would you want the issue to be handled by the CNO? Explain your rationale.

In addition to the topic study materials, use the chart you completed and questions you answered in the Topic 3 about “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” as the basis for your responses in this assignment.

1.  In 200-250 words, respond to the following: Should the physician allow Mike to continue making decisions that seem to him to be irrational and harmful to James, or would that mean a disrespect of a patient’s autonomy? Explain your rationale.

2.  In 400-500 words, respond to the following: How ought the Christian think about sickness and health? How should a Christian think about medical intervention? What should Mike as a Christian do? How should he reason about trusting God and treating James in relation to what is truly honoring the principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence in James’s care?

3.  In 200-250 words, respond to the following: How would a spiritual needs assessment help the physician assist Mike determine appropriate interventions for James and for his family or others involved in his care?

Technology played a vital role in promoting the efficiency and availability of affordable healthcare. Various components of technology such as social media, internet, and other online platforms have facilitated bridging of the gap between the patients and the healthcare providers (Abbasi et al., 2018). However, there are multiple factors that nurses and other healthcare providers should consider before using social media as a core communication and teaching tool. Firstly, it is critical to consider the essence of privacy between the doctor and the patient. Other significant considerations include security, accessibility, and cost of using social media.

Multiple types of social media are beneficial to patients and healthcare providers. The virtual networks or online community is one of the beneficial social media platforms. The network not only enables the patient to access information but also facilitates the acquisition of critical health data by doctors and nurses (Kotsenas et al., 2018).  Some examples of virtual networks include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, among others. Most of the social networks possess a provision for direct and social messages (Abbasi et al., 2018). Hence, nurses can choose to either communicate privately or publicly to the patients.

Although social media possesses various benefits, it also attracts multiple challenges to the patients and the healthcare providers. Firstly, social media, as a communication tool, limits the nurse’s ability to examine the patients before prescribing the medication or advice. Besides, the use of social media limit’s the patient’s ability to distinguish between professional and fraudulent doctors.
