     Change is a challenging phase to adapt and overcome. Change comes with perseverance, dedication and persistence. Nursing continues to evolve and change over time. “Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a life-long problem-solving approach to the delivery of health care” and improving patient outcomes and work environment (Melnyk, Gallagher-Ford, Long & Fineout-Overholt, 2014). Effectively disseminating my evidence-based change proposal would be to use both internal and external methods. One internal method would be to use the Emergency Department Management Team, including my manager, assistant manager, director and nursing educator to promote my idea of improving policies and practices in place for workplace violence. The use of effective leaders can lead a project proposal to success and with the support and the best intentions of staff to create a healthy and safe emergency department.

     External methods would include presenting to the Emergency Nurses Association to gain their support and enhance ideas of improving workplace violence. Using an organization that is specific to the Emergency Department can help promote ideas of change and can help facilitate changes within a department. 

     Both internal and external methods provide support and guidance to such an important topic. Having both internal and external support will help facilitate the best patient outcomes and the safest environment for employees. These methods also allow the spreading of evidence, information and presenting information to both groups will help facilitate an increase in interest.

     Communication strategies will be different because internal groups will be more patient and employee based where external will include state and regional levels of data to determine the need for change among different facilities. The internal board of the Emergency Department and the hospital will be more interested in its employees and safety whereas an external board like a national organization (ENA) will want to know if this is a facility problem or a national problem.

Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative

 

This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles and four boxes approach.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize the four principles and four boxes approach and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance.

Reality, Art, and Truth

This 6-8 page essay assignment will be completed in three parts. You may want to use section headers to organize your paper. Remember to explain the theories you reference with supporting citations to the textbook and online lectures in correct APA format.  Use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources.

Part I. The Self

Discuss the avocado idea of the self and explain at least one version of the idea that human beings have a shared essential nature (such as Cartesian rationalism or Greek philosophy). Contrast this account with the artichoke idea of the self (drawing upon existentialism to develop your account) and a discussion of how the modern/avocado and postmodern/artichoke ideas of the self differ. You may use your analysis from the Week 2 assignments to develop your account in Part I. 

Part II. The Avocado Self and Art as Representation

Explain the idea that art is mimesis (Plato and/or Aristotle) and how this is like the avocado idea of the self. Discuss a character/narrator/subject in a work of art (novel, poem, film, graphic novel, short story, television show, song, painting, etc.) who you think captures the avocado/art as mimesis idea that we have an essential, shared human nature and that art reflects this reality for us.

Part III. The Artichoke Self and Art as Transformation

Explain the idea that art is transformative/how artistic creation expresses the unity of subject and object (Nietzsche, Schelling, and/or Heidegger). Discuss how this reflects the artichoke idea of the self. Discuss a character/narrator/subject in a work of art (novel, poem, film, graphic novel, short story, television show, song, painting, etc.) who you think captures the artichoke/post-modern idea of the self and the idea that art creates truth.

Part IV. Art and Philosophy

Finally, reflect upon the relationship between art and philosophy by considering some of the following questions:

  1. Are the self and the material world distinct entities, as Descartes thinks? What are some examples of representative art that illustrate the idea that the subject/mind and the object/world/body are distinct? Alternatively, are the self and the world organic unities, as Schelling argues? How might artistic creation express this unity of subject and object?
  2. Is art mimesis/representation (as in Platonism and Aristotelian aesthetics) or is it a means of transforming the self and reality? Might it be aspirational, allowing us to achieve catharsis, as Aristotle suggests? Consider, too, how the idea of art as representation is akin to the avocado view while the idea of art as transformative is more like the artichoke view.
  3. What is the relationship between art and philosophy? Do you agree with Descartes that logic and critical thinking are the best means of achieving certainty about reality and existence, or is your view more akin to the perspective of Keats, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and/or Heidegger that art is the ultimate expression of truth? How are these views a rejection of the natural standpoint we see adopted by empiricism and rationalism and rejected by phenomenology?
  4. Do some kinds of art (music, for example) express the truth more fully than others? How so? How does the idea and purpose of art differ across cultures?
