Legal and Ethical ConductLegal and Ethical ConductAs emphasized in this week’s media presentation, all nurses need to be familiar with the laws and regulations that govern their practice: their state’s Nurse Practice Act, ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, specialty group standards of practice, etc. In addition, basic ethical principles guide nurses’ decision-making process every day. ANA’s Code of Ethics and ANA’s Social Policy Statement are two important documents that outline nurses’ ethical responsibilities to their patients, themselves, and their profession. This said, there is a dilemma: The laws are not always compatible with the ethical positions nurses sometimes take. This week’s Discussion focuses on such a dilemma.To prepare:Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the information in the media presentation about the relationship between the law and ethics.Consider the ethical responsibility of nurses in ensuring patient autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and justice.Read the following scenario:Lena is a community health care nurse who works exclusively with HIV-positive and AIDS patients. As a part of her job, she evaluates new cases and reviews confidential information about these patients. In the course of one of these reviews, Lena learns that her sister’s boyfriend has tested HIV positive. Lena would like to protect her sister from harm and begins to consider how her sister can find out about her boyfriend’s health status.Consult at least two resources to help you establish Lena’s legal and ethical position. These resources might include your state’s Nurse Practice Act (I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA), the ANA’s Code of Ethics, ANA’s Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, and internal or external standards of care.Consider what action you would take if you were Lena and why.Determine whether the law and the ANA’s standards support or conflict with that action.Post by Day 3 a description of the actions you would take in this situation, and why. Justify these actions by referencing appropriate laws, ethical standards, and professional guidelines.Required ResourcesNote: To access this week’s required library resources, please click on the link to the Course Readings List, found in the Course Materials section of your Syllabus.ReadingsMilstead, J.

The predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling constructs in educational diagnosis and evaluation (PRECEDE), along with the policy, regulatory, and organizational constructs in educational and environmental development (PROCEED) form the PRECEDE-PROCEED model. This is the most widely used planning model in health promotion and health education. The model has grown from the original five-phase planning model to a comprehensive planning and evaluation process.For this assignment, you will focus on a single phase of the model: the educational and ecological assessment.From among the following health behaviors, select one that you would like to focus on:Unprotected intercourse among teensPoor medication complianceOverexposure to the sunUsing the readings for this week and the Internet, write a 2–3-page paper.Cover the following:Describe, in brief, the health behavior you selected.Discuss why this behavior is problematic.Identify two to three predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling (PRE) factors for the health behavior using empirical support. Explain how you derived these factors.Discuss possible interventions based on the PRE factors.Submit your response in a 2–3-page Microsoft Word documentUtilize at least three scholarly journal articles for examples and support. Cite all sources using the APA format. Make sure all references are cited in APA format. References should be current at least within the last 5 years. Remember that references should be used to support your peer responses.Evaluation Criteria:The students should have:Selected and described a health behavior from the options given.Explained why this health behavior is problematic.Identified two to three predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors (PRE) for the health behavior, using empirical support. Explained how they derived these factors.Discussed possible interventions based on the PRE factors selected.Justified their answers with appropriate research and reasoning.
