Ethics in Healthcare

In this assignment, you will study the role of ethics in healthcare.Based on your research, respond to one of the following discussion questions.

Discussion Question 1

Read the following article:

Shelton, A., Freeman, B., Fish, A., Bachman, J., & Richardson, L. (2015). American Journal of Critical Care, 24(2), 148-155. doi: 10.4037/ajcc2015983

Ethics guidelines now require that individuals give informed consent to participate in research. Existing ethical guidelines do not help us decide how to seek consent and have allowed managerial experimentation to remain unchecked.

Based on your understanding of the topic and the article, answer the following question:

Do you think that alternative forms of community consent should be actively pursued? Why or why not? How would you feel if your medical records were examined and included in research without your consent based on an illness in the past?

Discussion Question 2

Scenario

Two nurse researchers are interested in studying whether a pain assessment tool for critical care patients is valid and reliable when applied to a group of patients who cannot communicate verbally due to mechanical ventilation. They design a validation study in which randomly selected patients will be assessed using the tool after a painful procedure (tracheal suctioning) and after a non-painful procedure (oral care). If patient responses result in higher scores after the painful procedure than after the non-painful one, then the researchers will conclude that the tool is effective for these patients in differentiating pain responses from responses to nursing procedures in general.

Using the checklist in the text, discuss and draw a conclusion as to whether this study will likely be exempt, expedited, or full review. Explain your rationale.

Mandatory Discussion Question

Use the image in “Discussion Question Resource: Chest X-Ray” to answer the following Critical Thinking Questions.

Examine the x-ray of a patient diagnosed with pneumonia due to infection with Mucor. Refer to the “Module 4 DQ Chest Xray” resource in order to complete the following questions.

Critical Thinking Questions

1. Explain what Mucor is and how a patient is likely to become infected with Mucor. Describe the pathophysiologic progression of the infection into pneumonia and at least two medical/nursing interventions that would be helpful in treating the patient.
2. Examine the laboratory blood test results and arterial blood gases provided in “Discussion Question Resource: Laboratory Blood Test Results.” What laboratory values are considered abnormal? Explain each abnormality and discuss the probable causes from a pathophysiologic perspective.
3. What medications and medical treatments are likely to be prescribed by the attending physician on this case? List at least three medications and three treatments. Provide rationale for each of the medications and treatments you suggest.

PLEASE REVIEW THESE LAB VALUES BEFORE REPLYING AND VIEW IMAGE IF YOU CAN

   1. What is the therapy?
   2. How is the therapy used for illness prevention, health promotion, and heath restoration?
   3. Give an example of how this therapy can empower patients?
   4. Identify the actions you can take to work with patients who use functional medicine and safeguard a patient’s rights that choose to use this therapy.
   5. What are some of the limitations of this therapy?
   6. Include any other pertinent information.

Your paper should be 3-4 pages, including:

• spacing and margin settings (APA Style)

My instructions

– This is a assignment I have to do for a Nursing class and is about functional Therapy. Down below I will give you some information about Functional Therapy so you can use these documents to support you paper but you MUST!  Find research articles in a peer-reviewed source about a successful functional therapy and summarize it and also answer all the question that the teacher wants.

Articles are attached use them to do the paper but you must research a peer-reviewed article and write about it.

**** The paper must be APA STYLE and must have a references page, no plagiarism and must be 15% or less in turnitin!!!!

Qualitative Research Designs

Qualitative Research Designs

For the past 2 weeks, you have focused on the features and considerations of quantitative research designs. However, quantitative designs are not appropriate for all research questions. Perhaps you are concerned with how patients react when confronted with negative test results, or you wish to study how views on a certain health topic change over time. In each of these cases, the emphasis is more on understanding the thinking and experiences of an individual or group than on numerical measurements. For these types of questions, a qualitative or mixed methods research design is the most appropriate.

For this Discussion, you focus on the different types of qualitative research designs, when they are used, and why they are important.

To prepare:

• Reflect on the comments made by Dr. Mauk in this week’s media presentation on the value of qualitative research in nursing.
• Locate the journal Qualitative Health Research in the Sage Premier database in the Walden Library.
• From this journal, select an article of interest to you that was published within the last 3 years.
• Review the information on different qualitative research designs in Chapter 21 of your course text.
• Determine what qualitative research design was used in your selected article and evaluate whether it was the best choice.
• Consider ethical issues involved in the study and how the researchers addressed them.
• Think about how using a quantitative design would have affected the type of data gathered.

Post an APA citation for the article that you selected and provide a brief summary of the content and the qualitative research design used. Evaluate the appropriateness of the design, and explain how ethical issues in the study were addressed. Analyze how the study would have been different if a quantitative design had been used.
