DQ1    250 WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

Submit a summary of six of your articles on the discussion board. Discuss one strength and one weakness for each of these six articles on why the article may or may not provide sufficient evidence for your practice change.

DQ2.   250 WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

Name two different methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.

 

In dramatic movies and TV shows they will occasionally show an injured character flatlining. The doctors will then call for the “paddles” and shock the person to restart the heart. Is this the correct treatment protocol for asystole? Briefly explain your answer.

Please post your answer and also respond to the answers of at least two of your fellow students.

The purpose of this assignment is to stimulate reflection about an experience, rather than just documenting the experience.

First, complete the questionnaire portion of “What Is Your Role in Communicating Research Information? Part I Questionnaire and Scoring Guide” resource.

Score the questionnaire using the same resource.

One way to keep from simply documenting the event is to begin your answer to the above questions with one of the following phrases:

1. During my experience, I felt…
2. I learned… about myself.
3. The significance or meaning of my learning is…
4. I discovered I …

Refer to the “Feeling Words” resource. The list of feeling words may serve as an aid to identify feelings that may occur during health care professional-patient interactions.

Based on the questionnaire results, as well as the insights gained from the Topic 1 readings, write a 250- to 500-word reflection, addressing the following questions:

• How would you describe your success with communicating?
• What did you learn about your communication style that enables you to communicate effectively?
• How will you work to increase your communication ability with compassion and care for others?
• How will you use this research process to communicate what you have learned about your communication skills that will help you as a health care professional?

In natural law ethics, nature and the natural processes of life are good while going against nature and natural human inclinations is bad.

According to Aristotle and his great Catholic commentator, Thomas Aquinas, there are four very basic natural human inclinations which are the good desires to (1) stay alive; (2) produce and care for a child; (3) learn the truth; (4) live amicably with others.  In terms of morality, natural law says that our duties go along with these four natural inclinations.

In the late 1980s, a Long Island couple married and tried to have children but couldn’t so Maureen and Steven Kass turned to in vitro fertilization.  For something like 9 years they kept trying but none of the fertilized eggs from Steven and Maureen ever came to the successful birth of a child.  Finally, in their early 40s and still childless, Maureen and Steven decided to divorce.  But then they faced a problem: What to do with the fertilized eggs still frozen in storage.  Steven wanted the fertilized but frozen eggs destroyed as the contract they had signed said.  Maureen wanted them saved for possible future implantation because she still wanted children and these frozen fertilized eggs were her only chance.

For this week’s discussion, answer ONLY TWO of the following three questions.  Please answer the first question and then either one of the other following two:

[1] Do some research into the case of Maureen Kass vs. Steven Kass and answer the following (if you use a quote on the case, you must reference it and limit it to no more than 40 words and no more than one quote):  What was and what was not natural or in keeping with our natural inclinations in this case of Maureen and Steven Kass and what difference does that make in terms of the moral questions at issue here?  Who should have won this case and why based on natural law or natural inclinations?  Are frozen fertilized eggs the property of anyone and if so whose and if not why not?  How would the implantation of a fertilized egg in the womb change its status as property or person or what?

[2] Explain to a friend or someone you know the basics of natural law ethics as related to the four central natural inclinations of human beings.  Tell the person how natural law ethics via John Locke also influenced the claims and wording of the U.S.’s Declaration of Independence (as noted in the eText) and ask them to explain their feelings about natural law ethics and how they influence this Declaration.  What did they say?  And then tell the person also that the most common criticism of natural law ethics in philosophy is that what IS should not be confused with what OUGHT TO BE.  Ask them what does this mean and do they agree or disagree?  Why?  And what do you yourself think?

[3] Discuss the Heinz Dilemma (LINK (Links to an external site.)) with two different people (one male and one female) and, before discussing the feminist ethics of care, ask each of them separately how they’d resolve it.  Share their ideas with the class.  And, whatever the results, indicate also what you think about Gilligan’s ethics of care as a feminist moral theory (see the list on page 174 of the eText of traits generally associated with a male as compared to a female ethical perspective).

 

1. In the 1997 case of University and Community College System of Nevada v Farmer, Farmer was initially awarded $40K in damages for violation of the Equal Pay Act. The university won an appeal in front of the State of Nevada’s Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, leaving the lower court’s verdict in place. Defend or critique the finding of the Nevada Supreme Court using a deontological or teleological approach.
2. The WatchMark-Comnitel Corporation has undergone significant changes since their case of outsourcing. They were renamed Vallent Corporation, and later were acquired by IBM. This shows the competitive nature of the software industry. Based on this knowledge, examine the outsourcing actions taken by Watchmark-Comnitel from the deontological and teleological perspectives.
3. Present an argument that it is easier for employers to comply with diversity legislation in Canada than it is in the United States.
4. Select a source of media as outlined in Exercises in Media Diversity. Comment on the questions listed in the textbook for the media option you selected.

Part .1.

 In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Part 2. 

Work with your preceptor to assess the organization for the required resources needed for the strategic plan if the change proposal were to be implemented. Review your strategic plan and determine what resources would be needed if the change proposal were to be implemented. Write a list of at least four resources you will need in order to implement your change proposal.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.
