Case Study: Healing and Autonomy

Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born eight years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection.

The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’ condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment. Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own, or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve.

The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God.

Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet Mike and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in hopes that James would be healed by then.

Two days later the family returned, and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? HEALING AND AUTONOMY

To make matters worse, James kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter, and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors. Over the next few weeks, amidst daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to donate a kidney to James. However, none of them were tissue matches.

James’ nephrologist called to schedule a private appointment with Mike and Joanne. James was stable, given the regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year. Given the desperate situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’ brother Samuel.

Mike vacillates and struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a kidney, or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his faith will come in? “This time around, it is a matter of life and death, what could require greater faith than that?” Mike reasons. HEALING AND AUTONOMY

Theory Research and Evidence Based Practice

As they explore the world around them, young children often want to know the “why” and “how” of the things they observe. This is similar to what researchers do when they approach a new problem. Researchers develop new theories or build on old ones to explain the “why” of the world around them.

They use models and conceptual frameworks to help explain “how” the processes and events they observe occur. Together, theories and models provide an understanding of the world and allow researchers to explore it in meaningful ways. Theory Research and Evidence Based Practice

Virtually all research questions can benefit from the use of an existing theory or model. Researchers should consider their research questions and select the most suitable theory or model, which then serves as a foundation for the research design. The selection of a theory or model is an important part of the research process.

Principles of Musculoskeletal Fitness

Principles of Musculoskeletal Fitness

“That which is used develops. That which is not used wastes away.”

—Hippocrates

usculoskeletal fitness is based on three pillars: muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. A musculoskeletal fitness program should be designed to improve all three pillars, though it may take many forms and utilize a variety of training modalities. Examples include, but are not limited to, free weights, elastic bands, isometrics, and yoga. Since the act of musculoskeletal fitness training itself does not ensure gains in performance or health, an effective training program needs to be based on sound training principles and must be carefully designed in order to maximize training outcomes. Although factors such as initial fitness level, nutritional status, and motivation influence the rate and magnitude of the adaption that occurs, there are four main principles that determine the effectiveness of all musculoskeletal fitness programs: overload, progression, regularity, and specificity. Principles of Musculoskeletal Fitness

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 4, “Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance.” Pay particular attention to the principles of musculoskeletal fitness and how they may be applied to your personal fitness program.
  • Review Chapter 5, “Improving Flexibility.” Consider how the principles of musculoskeletal fitness impact the implementation of your personal fitness program.
  • Review the article “Strength and Conditioning: The Basics of Starting and Progressing a Strength-Training Program” and think about the impact of different elements on musculoskeletal fitness.
  • Review the article “Physical Activity: Growing Stronger—Strength Training for Older Adults.” Consider how age impacts the implementation of a musculoskeletal fitness program.
  • Find a peer-reviewed journal article in the Walden Library relating to muscular strength, endurance, or flexibility. Review the article and think about how the principles discussed in the article might be applied to your personal fitness program. Principles of Musculoskeletal Fitness
  • Consider the benefits of specific activities to musculoskeletal fitness.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4

Post a brief description of the article you selected. Then explain how the principles of musculoskeletal fitness from the article can be applied to your personal fitness program. Describe three fitness activities you could incorporate into your personal fitness program, and explain two benefits they might have on musculoskeletal fitness.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the LearningResources.

Assignment: Developing Musculoskeletal Fitness

A key factor in the design of any musculoskeletal fitness training program is appropriate and specific design. No single test can assess musculoskeletal fitness. It is recommended that a battery of tests be used that includes measures for the upper body, torso, and lower body.

Your specific program needs to be individualized and based on your training history and personal goals. Your comprehensive musculoskeletal fitness program should include all F.I.T. principles as well as your choice of exercises, the order of the exercises, resistance used, volume (number of sets and repetitions), rest between sets, and training frequency.

ETHICAL HEALTH CARE

Scenario 1: Medical coding in a physician’s practice

Imagine you work in a high-pressure cardiology physician’s office and you are one of two medical coders. Your supervisor is very focused on the greatest reimbursement to satisfy revenue projections for the practice. As a result, you are asked to “up-code” billing. How can the pressure of acquiring the maximum repayment for services lead to manipulating or falsifying documentation?

Scenario 2: Administration of patient medications in the hospital setting

Imagine you are a new graduate nurse working nights on a busy medical unit. You just received a new patient who needs to be admitted to your unit and you just finished medicating a patient with a narcotic injection with a dose greater than ordered. Clearly understanding medication errors may lead to patient injury and even death, explain why a clinician may choose not to report the incident. ETHICAL HEALTH CARE

Scenario 3: Not hiring a qualified individual because of discrimination

Imagine you are a new human resources director in a nonprofit organization and have been pressured not to hire Middle Eastern candidates by the organization’s CEO. In the United States, discrimination against people based on their ethnicity, race, or cultural orientation is strictly forbidden under federal and state laws. Ethical discrimination may result in the breeding of ill feelings at work, as well as reduced productivity. To eliminate these ramifications, organizations need to put forth increased effort in curbing ethical discrimination in the employment sector.
