End-Of-Life Decisions Sample

End-Of-Life Decisions Sample

Write an article for a community newsletter for a local retirement  village that explains the laws, policies, and choices surrounding  end-of-life health care decisions. End-Of-Life Decisions Sample

Nurses are at the bedside during the dying process; they spend  entire shifts with patients and families; they develop trusting  relationships; and they are competent to assess patient and family  needs. Nurses gain a unique perspective that allows them to become aware  when a patient is not responding to treatment. This perspective places  nurses in a position to facilitate end-of-life decision making. (Adams,  Bailey. Anderson, & Docherty, 2011, para. 4) End-Of-Life Decisions Sample

Week 5: Ethical And Legal Implications

Week 5: Ethical And Legal Implications

Purpose

Discuss potential complications in a clinical scenario at an out-patient family practice. Students will explore potential effects on patient outcomes and implications for members of the heath care team as a result of conflict among the healthcare team.  Students will develop strategies that result in prevention of untoward outcomes that result in a positive practice culture. Week 5: Ethical And Legal Implications

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

Requirements:

You are a family nurse practitioner working in an outpatient primary care office of a large hospital system. The practice has been operating for over 15 years, and many of the administrative and clinical staff were hired when the practice opened. You have been in the practice for less than 3 months. In that short amount of time, you have witnessed several of the clinical staff engaging in heated arguments with each other, sometimes in patient areas. You overhear an argument occurring today between two staff. You pick up a patient’s chart and notice a very low blood pressure that the medical assistant failed to notify you about. When you confront the MA, she states that she was going to report the vital signs to you when she became engaged in the heated argument you overheard and forgot to notify you.

Unfortunately, this pattern of behavior is not unusual in this practice. Working with staff who cannot cooperate effectively can negatively influence your ability to spend time with patients, can impede the flow of patients through the office, and could impact patient safety. Week 5: Ethical And Legal Implications

Case Study Responses:

  1. Analyze the case study for potential issues for members of the healthcare team from office conflict. Contrast the potential effects for each member of the healthcare team based upon the required readings from the week. Discuss the potential ethical and legal implications for each of the following practice members:
    • Medical assistant
    • Nurse Practitioner
    • Medical Director
    • Practice
  2. What strategies would you implement to prevent further episodes of potentially dangerous patient outcomes?
  3. What leadership qualities would you apply to effect positive change in the practice? Focus on the culture of the practice.
  4. A scholarly resource must be used for EACH discussion question each week.
