Case Study: Fetal Abnormality

/in /by

Case Study: Fetal Abnormality

Case Study: Fetal Abnormality

Jessica is a 30-year-old immigrant from Mexico City. She and her husband Marco have been in the United States for the last three years and have finally earned enough money to move out of their Aunt Maria’s home and into an apartment of their own. They are both hard workers. Jessica works 50 hours a week at a local restaurant and Marco has been contracting side jobs in construction. Six months before their move to an apartment, Jessica finds out she is pregnant.

Four months later, Jessica and Marco arrive at the county hospital, a large, public, nonteaching hospital. A preliminary ultrasound indicates a possible abnormality with the fetus. Further scans are conducted, and it is determined that the fetus has a rare condition in which it has not developed any arms and will not likely develop them. There is also a 25% chance that the fetus may have Down syndrome.

Dr. Wilson, the primary attending physician, is seeing Jessica for the first time, since she and Marco did not receive earlier prenatal care over concerns about finances. Marco insists that Dr. Wilson refrain from telling Jessica the scan results, assuring him that he will tell his wife himself when she is emotionally ready for the news. While Marco and Dr. Wilson are talking in another room, Aunt Maria walks into the room with a distressed look on her face. She can tell that something is wrong and inquires of Dr. Wilson. After hearing of the diagnosis, she walks out of the room wailing loudly and praying aloud.

Marco and Dr. Wilson continue their discussion, and Dr. Wilson insists that he has an obligation to Jessica as his patient and that she has a right to know the diagnosis of the fetus. He furthermore is intent on discussing all relevant factors and options regarding the next step, including abortion. Marco insists on taking some time to think of how to break the news to Jessica, but Dr. Wilson, frustrated with the direction of the conversation, informs the husband that such a choice is not his to make. Dr. Wilson proceeds back across the hall, where he walks in on Aunt Maria awkwardly praying with Jessica and phoning the priest. At that point, Dr. Wilson gently but briefly informs Jessica of the diagnosis and lays out the option for abortion as a responsible medical alternative, given the quality of life such a child would have. Jessica looks at him and struggles to hold back her tears.

Jessica is torn between her hopes of a better socioeconomic position and increased independence, along with her conviction that all life is sacred. Marco will support Jessica in whatever decision she makes but is finding it difficult not to view the pregnancy and the prospects of a disabled child as a burden and a barrier to their economic security and plans. Dr. Wilson lays out all of the options but clearly makes his view known that abortion is “scientifically” and medically a wise choice in this situation. Aunt Maria pleads with Jessica to follow through with the pregnancy and allow what “God intends” to take place and urges Jessica to think of her responsibility as a mother.

Data Overview

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

Data Strengths Weaknesses
Boundaries The village is small and can be managed incase of an outbreak of a disease in the area. The proximity to the forest can lead to wild fires which can destroy most the property within the area.
Housing and Zoning The residential and commercial houses built in the 1940s and 1950s were build using modern architectural designs and materials and they exist for decades. The disrepair of St. Charles factory and other schools that were abandoned by the Jews shows that these resources are unutilized and they need to be repaired or demolished to give way to new facilities such as hospitals.
Signs of Decay The village is clean and there are no trash, rubble and large dumpster. Therefore, the environment is free from vectors that cause diseases from these sites. Abandoned cars, and bordered-up buildings are dangerous to people and they can easily cause harm.  
Parks and Recreation Areas Parks and recreation facilities in the village ensure that people live healthy lives by exercising in the parks, playgrounds and interacting with people from different cultures. During the COVID-19, these parks and recreation centers were dangerous because they could lead to direct contact between people which could transmit the disease.
Commons Skokie has fabulous grocery stores where the residents can visit and buy healthy, fresh foods that will ensure they live a healthy lifestyle. Some commons such as nightclubs and bars lead to unhealthy lifestyles and cause diseases such as Liver Cirrhosis from drinking and cancer from smoking cigarettes.
Stores Stores such as drug stores, provide residents with supplies on drugs when they are sick. Moreover, other stores such as laundry facilities ensure that people clean their clothes regularly. The availability of drug stores may lure the residents into drug abuse by buying drugs they are not prescribed. Moreover, home delivery for the grocery leads to sedentary lifestyle which cause chronic illnesses.  
Transportation Skokie embrace means of transport such as bicycle riding and walking which promote health and well being and conserve the environment because bicycles do not emit harmful gases. High percentage of people in Skokie use their cars to drive to work, to the stores and back home. Thus, people may not exercise adequately which may cause obesity
Service Centers Social agencies such as department of human services ensure that the elderly in the village is not abused and that they receive adequate care because they represent a significant number of the population. There is only one hospital in the village which provides general services and it can be difficult for a person to access it when they need it the most. Therefore, those living far form the facility may succumb to emergency diseases before they arrive in the hospital.
Street People (and Animals) Skokie is very busy village during the day and people are engaged in productive activities. Therefore, people can afford to live upper class lifestyle and ensure they eat healthy. Dogs and other pets have a strong connection with their owners and it is inappropriate to deny them a chance to be brought in the parks. The owner must be responsible if it defecates.
Protective Services Every community requires security and other services such as fire fighting in case of fire outbreaks. The village has enough personnel and companies to ensure that people are not hurt during fires and they are protected from criminals. Despite having police station and police officers patrolling the area. Skokie still experience moderate crime levels which threaten the peaceful co-existence of the people.
Race Skokie has diverse people with whites, Asians, African Americans and people from two or more races. This population embrace diversity and people interact and exchange cultures Skokie embraces diversity, however, these races may develop social tension which may lead to undesired outcome such as insecurity in the area.
Ethnicity People have the freedom to practice their faith without discrimination. Schools teach various cultural and religious differences depending on the nature of the school. Ethnic stores, churches and languages may result in barriers where other population cannot access these places because they are set aside for one population.
Religion Religious facilities provide services to the people. They ensure that everyone access education at a place they are most comfortable. The differences in religion and separate facilities for various activities such as education deny children the opportunity to interact and share their cultures.
Class Most people in Skokie are upper class. Therefore, they can afford to live healthy life because they can buy healthy foods. The low level of poverty-stricken residents who cannot afford upper class lifestyle are likely to suffer from nutritional deficiency diseases.  
Health Status The median age of the population is 44 years. Therefore, most residents are energetic and they can make good use of the resources in the village. One fifth of the population is made up of older population, this population is always at risk of chronic infections.
     

Data Summary

Please summarize your data by responding to the following:

  1. Describe the strengths of community as evidenced by Windshield Survey.

 

  1. Describe the weaknesses (gaps in service) as evidenced by Windshield Survey.

 

  1. Identify 1 problem based on the identified gap in community resources as an indicator of potential poor health outcomes

According to the gaps identified in the community, one potential indicator of poor health outcomes at Skokie is the high population of the elderly in the village. 20% of the population comprise of people above 65 years. This population is vulnerable to chronic diseases and they need immediate care. Therefore, the growing proportion of the elderly population is a potential indicator of poor health outcomes in the area.

All-Knowing- Dan 2:20-22, 1Ch 28:9

NIV  Daniel 2:14-23

When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with wisdom and tact. 15 He asked the king’s officer, “Why did the king issue such a harsh decree?” Arioch then explained the matter to Daniel. 16 At this, Daniel went in to the king and asked for time, so that he might interpret the dream for him.

17 ¶ Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said: “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. 21 He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. 23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

NIV  1 Chronicles 28:9-11 

9 ¶ “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. 10 Consider now, for the LORD has chosen you to build a temple as a sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.”

Compassion – Psa 103:13-14, Joh 3:16

NIV  Psalm 103:6-14

The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed. 7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel: 8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.

 

 

NIV  John 3:16-17

¶ “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Faithfulness – Jos 23:14, Deu 7:9; Psa 145:13

NIV  Joshua 23:14-16

¶ “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed. 15 But just as every good promise of the LORD your God has come true, so the LORD will bring on you all the evil he has threatened, until he has destroyed you from this good land he has given you. 16 If you violate the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them, the LORD’s anger will burn against you, and you will quickly perish from the good land he has given you.”

 

NIV  Deuteronomy 7:6-9

¶ For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. 7 The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8 But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.

NIV  Psalm 145:8-13

The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. 9 The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. 10 All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you. 11 They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, 12 so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. 13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.

Goodness – Psa 25:7-8, Rom 8:28; Jam 1:17

NIV  Psalm 25:4 Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. 6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.

10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant. 11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

NIV  Romans 8:26-30

¶ In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.   27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.

28 ¶ And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

NIV  James 1:17-18

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

Grace and Mercy – Psa 25:6-7, Eph 2:4-8

NIV  Psalm 25:4-11

Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; 5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. 6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. 9 He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. 10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of his covenant. 11 For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

NIV  Ephesians 2:1-10

¶ As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.     10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

NIV  Isaiah 6:1-4

¶ In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

NIV  1 Peter 1:13-16

¶ Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 14 As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 15 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

Justice – Psa 99:4, Psa 9:7-8, Rev 20:12-13

The LORD reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. 2 Great is the LORD in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name– he is holy. 4 The King is mighty, he loves justice– you have established equity; in Jacob you have done what is just and right. 5 Exalt the LORD our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.

NIV  Psalm 9:7-10

The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. 8 He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice. 9 The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.

NIV  Revelation 20:11-15

¶ Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 If anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. (Rev 20:11 NIV)

Love – Psa 86:5, Psa 106:1

NIV  Psalm 86:1-10

Hear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. 2 Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you. 3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long. 4 Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 5 You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you. 6 Hear my prayer, O LORD; listen to my cry for mercy. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me. 8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. 9 All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; they will bring glory to your name. 10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.

NIV  Psalm 106:1-3

Power – Jer 10:6, Job 42:2, Mk 10:27, Eph 1:18-21

NIV  Jeremiah 10:6-10

No one is like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is mighty in power. 7 Who should not revere you, O King of the nations? This is your due. Among all the wise men of the nations and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you. 8 They are all senseless and foolish; they are taught by worthless wooden idols. 9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz. What the craftsman and goldsmith have made is then dressed in blue and purple– all made by skilled workers. 10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King. When he is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure his wrath.

NIV  Job 42:2-6

“I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. 4 “You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ 5 My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. 6 Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”

 

NIV  Mark 10:23-27

¶ Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

NIV  Ephesians 1:15-23

¶ For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

He also says, “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. 11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”

 

 

 

 

Unchangeableness – Mal 3:6, Num 23:19, Ja 1:17, Heb 13:8

NIV  Malachi 3:1-6

¶ “See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty. 2 ¶ But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. 3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, 4 and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years.

 

5 ¶ “So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me,” says the LORD Almighty.

 

6 ¶ “I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.

NIV  James 1:17-18

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.

NIV  Psalm 139:7-12

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

 

 

 

NIV  Jeremiah 23:23-24

NIV  Psalm 34:15-18

The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry; 16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

 

NIV  Psalm 145:17-21

The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. 18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. 19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. 20 The LORD watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. 21 My mouth will speak in praise of the LORD. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.

NIV  Titus 2:11-14

¶ For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope–the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

 

NIV  Acts 5:1-6

¶ Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God.” 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

NIV  Hebrews 1:13 To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?

NIV  Luke 1:26 ¶ In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.” 34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 ¶ Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.” 38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.

 

NIV  Luke 2:1-52

¶ In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to his own town to register. 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

 

8 ¶ And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.”

 

15 ¶ When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” 16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

 

21 ¶ On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.

 

22 ¶ When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord 23 (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”), 24 and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.” 25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 29 “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. 30 For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31 which you have prepared in the sight of all people, 32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.”

33 ¶ The child’s father and mother marveled at what was said about him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his mother: “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, 35 so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.”

 

36 ¶ There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37 and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38 Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.

 

39 ¶ When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. 40 And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him.

 

41 ¶ Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom. 43 After the Feast was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.” 49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?” 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them. 51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

 

52 ¶ And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

 

NIV  Matthew 4:1-11

¶ Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: ” ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ ” 7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ ” 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

 

NIV  Hebrews 4:14-16

¶ Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are–yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

 

NIV  Matthew 4:23 ¶ Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.

NIV  Matthew 7:28 ¶ When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

NIV  Matthew 13:1-9

¶ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop–a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 He who has ears, let him hear.”

 

NIV  Matthew 13:10-13

¶ The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” 11 He replied, “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

 

NIV  John 20:30-31

¶ Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

NIV  John 16:7-14

But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. 12 ¶ “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.

 

NIV  Matthew 3:7-12

¶ But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. 9 And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

 

11 ¶ “I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry.

NIV  Acts 1:4-5

On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

 

NIV  Acts 2:1-21

¶ When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

 

5 ¶ Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.

6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in his own native language?

9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs–we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” 13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine. “

 

14 ¶ Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.

15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 ” ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’

Intervention Presentation and Capstone Video Reflection

            Good morning, my name is ………., and this is my capstone video reflection and intervention presentation. My intervention centers around teaching patients experiencing GERD about normal side effects, risk elements, and way of life changes they can use to deal with their side effects. Unmanaged GERD can have serious complexities and extraordinarily diminish an individual’s personal satisfaction. GERD is the most well-known gastrointestinal problem in The United States, brought about by stomach corrosive every now and again streaming once more into an individual’s throat. Most patients get a conclusion from their doctor just based on an evaluation and survey of side effects. Many patients start their psychological wellness ventures with unfortunate adapting abilities like drinking, and smoking. These unfortunate indecencies can additionally compound side effects of GERD, subsequently, I have seen this turmoil disturb the personal satisfaction commonly both in my expert and individual life.

The patient I teamed up with is a thirty-three-year-old Hispanic male determined to have GERD three years prior. Risk factors for GERD incorporate weight, pregnancy, hiatal hernias, connective tissue issues, deferred stomach purging, white race, male sex, old age, smoking, eating enormous suppers before bed, greasy or seared food varieties, liquor, espresso, and certain meds like ibuprofen (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2020). This patient has a few of these gamble factors including his sex, dietary propensities, way of life decisions, and being overweight. Right now, the patient encounters indigestion consistently and encounters spewing forth or retching a few times each week. He is conflicting with his prescription and misses the mark on inspiration to focus on long-haul way of life decisions that could work on his side effects.

Before I started gathering with the patient and presented my intervention, he had an ambiguous thought of what food varieties set off his side effects because of experimentation on his part, and not from his doctor appropriately instructing him. Prior to executing the intervention, my patient realized that his being overweight, drinking, and eating broiled food varieties exacerbated his indigestion, and didn’t understand how genuine the outcomes could be assuming he let his side effects control his life. My patient valued having a straightforward asset about his condition and learned new data to assist him with returning his GERD to normal. Each time we met, we reviewed what had been taught previously and then gradually introduced new knowledge to ensure that he retained everything I had taught him. He is committed to avoiding bad food choices, sleeping in the proper position, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, and taking his medication on a regular and timely basis.

Use of Evidence and Peer-Reviewed Literature to Plan and Implement the Project

I needed to guarantee the data I gave the patient was best-practice and proof-based. To do this, I used ……University’s Summons data set from their web-based library. From that point, I had the option to limit the web to just give assets that have been peer-looked into and distributed inside the most recent five years to ensure I was surveying the most exceptional data. Prior to choosing what sources to use I ensured they were applicable to my chosen medical care issue; GERD and the creators were believable in their field. I additionally ensured that every one of the assets didn’t contain clashing data. Every one of the articles I applied towards the making of the intervention through proof-based research established that way of life adjustments was the principal line of protection for overseeing GERD and accordingly was the focal point of the time enjoyed with my patient.

Health Care Technology to Improve Outcomes and Communication

E-prescriptions were the medical care innovation I focused on with the patient because it is generally useful and appropriate to him. Because they are convenient and provide patient security, e-prescriptions are becoming a more popular option in both in-patient and short-term settings. They guarantee error-free and elegant solutions sent directly to the patient’s pharmacy. This helps to eliminate the risk of polypharmacy, as well as the risk of the patient forgetting their drugs, which has previously been a problem for my patient, and to improve patient consistency in completing and taking their prescriptions. When compared to people who use traditional paper prescriptions, studies suggest that E-prescriptions increased the underlying solution fill rate by a small percentage. This could be due to the fact that these frameworks send a pre-programmed electronic message. My patient says that he much rather his doctor involves E-prescriptions as he frequently hesitates to get paper prescriptions filled.

In the future, the patient may benefit from telehealth services from his main health care provider to track his symptoms and the success of his present treatment regimen on a frequent basis. When there are convenient ways for my patient to monitor his healthcare, he is much more willing to do so. My patient has a busy lifestyle, having the option to speak with his doctor from the accommodation of his own home will be incredibly valuable to him. According to a McElroy article, telemedicine has become a viable option recently, with more payment from insurance companies and fewer appointment cancellations from patients in some offices.

Health Policy Influences

The Massachusetts BON portrays an enlisted proficient nurse as diagnosing and getting patients’ reactions to their medical conditions through persistent schooling, case finding, and wellbeing guiding. It is noticed that a nurse’s analytic honor is particular from a clinical conclusion in that it distinguishes and oversees physical and psychosocial side effects inside the nursing extent of training. As I and the patient are from Massachusetts, it was vital to remember the Massachusetts BON principles while making this intervention. The patient previously had a prior diagnosis of GERD from his doctor, as such it was my obligation to additionally teach him about his analysis and the administration of his side effects. The American Nurses Association (ANA) has fostered a nursing general set of rules that fills in as a bunch of guidelines and directions for medical caretakers to practice and settle on choices in light of their qualities while keeping inside their extent of training. I actively listened to all of the patient’s concerns with empathy and compassion, keeping the code of ethics in mind, and understood what they wanted out of this encounter. To effectively serve my patient, I conducted the necessary scholarly research to deliver data based on evidence-based resources. I also explained to the patient what the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is and how it protects his personal health information. I guaranteed the patient than anything he imparts to his doctor is safeguarded under HIPAA and can’t be revealed without his assent whether he has an in-person visit or through telehealth.

Project Predictions and Outcomes

I at first expected that the patient would acquire a more noteworthy understanding of side effect triggers and how to more readily deal with his GERD side effects. Luckily, the intervention results matched my forecasts, and the patient is currently more educated about his condition and how he really wants to fix his side effects. The patient expressed he gleaned tons of useful knowledge more than he was hoping to and is currently spurred to view his condition in a serious way as to not foster a portion of the extreme complications that can come from untreated GERD. He is committed to being more consistent with his prescriptions since it is now so obvious when to appropriately take them and that he will have a more prominent side effect help assuming he accepts them as recommended rather than just “depending on the situation” like he was doing before the meetings we spent together. He had the option to effectively “instruct back” the data I gave to him and give precise instances of food varieties and exercises he ought to stay away from to more readily deal with his GERD.

Personal and Professional Growth Throughout the Project

At first, I was concerned I wouldn’t find a sufficient measure of articles to put together assets with respect to the patient issue I picked. In spite of the fact that GERD is an exceptionally normal problem, it doesn’t have a high mortality or hospitalization rate as other patient issues do. In any case, after I started my inquiry and truly jumped into the Capstone project, I had the option to observe the data I wanted, and I am better for it. I learned things I for one knew nothing about and can now better instruct future patients on their sickness the regulations too. My patient was effectively connected all through the interaction and valued the work put into the intervention and learned a lot from it.

All through the RN-BSN program, I gained tons of useful knowledge about the worth of interdisciplinary joint effort, administration, and strategies influencing the results of top-notch medical care. Some of the program’s evaluations have taught me to hone my critical thinking abilities and evaluate the consequences of change implementation far more than I would have before. I am thankful for this program and am proud to be a BSN-prepared nurse from Capella.
