In my experience nurses are highly respected and the general public tends to think of nurses as people that they can

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

depend on to take care of them and their loved ones. In my opinion nurses are the face of healthcare. However, according to Dean, “the public perception of nursing varies depending upon the timeframe.” Nursing was first performed by men who magical healing powers (Dean). Nursing was also at one time performed by prostitutes. With the introduction of Florence Nightingale the nursing began to take on a more respected and well thought of profession (Dean). Nursing can be influenced by culture, the media, and Hollywood. Hollywood, for example, often show nurses, played by actors, as sex symbols or drug addicts (Dean). I feel that the media has the biggest impact on nurses. People tend to post everything about their lives on social media, even nurses. Sometimes this can have negative consequences depending on what is being posted. Posting negative comments about a work day can cost a person their job. In today’s day and age employers will look at a potential employee’s social media account before decided whether or not to hire that person.

According to Dean, “standards of professional performance are defined by nurses’ behavior in their nursing roll. Standards of professional performance include ethics, education, evidence-based practice and research, quality of practice, communication, leadership, collaboration, professional performance evaluation, resource utilization, and environmental health.” When following the standards of practice nurses can promote a positive opinion by the general public.

Moral Dilemmas and Ethical Decisions

Assessment Instructions

ORDER A PLAGIARISM FREE PAPER NOW

Your supervisor has asked you to do a 15-minute oral presentation at a staff meeting about a recent issue that occurred at another hospital in town. Following an industrial accident, two patients arrived at the emergency room of that hospital at the same time, presenting with very similar inhalation injuries. The hospital received a great deal of negative press due to how the patients were triaged in the ER. Your supervisor would like you to use the specifics of this case to review triage procedures and best practices at your facility. Here are the details:

One is a 32-year-old firefighter, Frank Jeffers, who is presenting with respiratory difficulties that he obtained while evacuating victims of an industrial accident. He is a married homeowner and father of two young boys. He has lived in the community all his life. He has full and comprehensive health insurance through his employer.
The other is Brent Damascus, a 58-year-old man. Brent is presenting with respiratory difficulties with the same intensity as Mr. Jeffers above. He is well known at the hospital emergency room, as he is a frequent visitor with various complaints, including asthma, headaches, and tremors. He is homeless, unemployed, and uninsured. He stays many nights at the YMCA and eats lunch at the soup kitchen. He has lived in the community for over 10 years and has been arrested several times for petty theft.
PREPARATION
Search the Capella library and the Internet for scholarly and professional peer-reviewed articles on best practices in triage nursing. You will need at least three articles to use as support for your work on this assessment.

DIRECTIONS
Create a 15-minute presentation (3–4 pages) that examines the moral and ethical issues that occurred when triaging these two patients and the best practices for managing this in the future.

Divide your draft into a number of talking points that you can summarize neatly. Keep in mind that an oral presentation requires slightly different language than an essay. The aim is to communicate your message so keep sentences simple and focus on the key points you want to deliver. Address the following in your presentation:

Explain the health care policies and protocols that are in place that direct triage care in an emergency situation.
Explain how health care disparities impact treatment decisions.
Identify the health care policies that are in place that direct care for uninsured individuals. Is there a difference in how these individuals are triaged?
Describe the moral and ethical challenges nurses can face when following hospital policies and protocols. Is there a conflict when a severely injured person is also uninsured?
Recommend evidence-based strategies that should be applied for managing the care of uninsured and indigent population.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
Your presentation should meet the following requirements:

Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
References: Include a reference section with a minimum of three references; a majority of these should be peer-reviewed sources. All resources should have been published within the last 5 years.
APA format: Resources and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting.
Length: 3–4 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding title page and reference page. Use Microsoft Word to complete the assessment.

This is with regard to the fact that by improving the health of all groups the country will end up having healthy individuals of different age groups thereby being able to eliminate high health care costs that are associated with a certain age group (Henderson, 2016). However, there are several concerns as well as key risks as per the statistical data presented above. The first concern is with regard to the low number of individuals having a college degree. This is so since those with a college degree by the year 2017 in the county of licking are only 30%, while in the state they are only 23.3% while in the whole nation only COMMUNITY HEALTH !5 26.7% have a college degree. According to van der Heide & Uiters, (2013), this clearly points to the fact that those who will be able to get a well-paying job based on their level of education will be less than 50 %. This implies that more than 50% of the American population at the national, state as well as county level will find it difficult to pay for health insurance coverage as a result of receiving low pay. The second key risk as per the statistical data presented above is with regard to the high percentage of mothers who are delivering infants but end up not receiving prenatal care in the 1st trimester. Even though the percentage of this population in the county of Licking is low in comparison to the percentage of this population in the State of Ohio, it is still very high in comparison to the percentage of this population nationwide. This high percentages of infants who did not receive prenatal care in the 1st trimester will make difficult not only for the country be able to realize its objective of achieving health equity but also for the county of Licking and State of Ohio. This is attributed to the fact that the blood tests, as well as physical exams carried out during the 1st trimester, play an essential role in ensuring that infants will end up being healthy in the latter stages of their lives (Schwennesen & Koch, 2012). The third key risk as per the statistical data presented above is the high number of individuals who are not engaging in sufficient physical activities in the county of Licking. This is a great risk since this individuals will end suffering from lifestyle diseases thereby becoming a burden to the county, state as well as the country with regard to needing healthcare services. The high percentages of individuals who engage in insufficient physical activities attribute this to the ever-rising number of desk jobs that require people to move less when executing their day to day duties. With licking county having higher percentages of these individuals who are not engaging COMMUNITY HEALTH !6 in sufficient physical in comparison to the total percentage nationwide, it may end up finding it difficult to deal with patients suffering from lifestyle diseases since budget allocations from the national government towards healthcare tend to reflect on national statistics and not county statistics (Hesse & Gaysynsky, 2014). Lastly, the high number of infant mortality per 1000 live births among people who belong to the African American race at the county level in comparison to the national statistics is a great cause for concern. This is so since, in order for the objective of eliminating disparities as well as achieving health equity to be achieved, there is need to ensure that the level of infant mortality among African Americans who are the minorities is reduced while still focusing on other races as well (Hesse & Gaysynsky, 2014).

The first requirement is to enroll and complete an accredited or approved registered nursing program by the Florida Board of Nursing. According to the authorities, the institutions offering these nursing programs must be certified by ACEN and CCNE as these agencies provide program level (nursing diplomas, associate degrees or bachelor’s degrees) accreditation. Next, one should take and pass the NCLEX-RN spell out acronyms per apa exam upon completion of their educational requirement. Before being authorized to take the licensing examination, the candidate must apply to the Florida Board to sign up for the exams. Last but not least, one will be involved in the figure printing process through the use of Live Scan service provider. Once Florida Board has evaluated the application, the instructions will be given about registering for the NCLEX exam by Pearson VUE which will cost $200 (“Nursing Licensure in Florida | FL Requirements” 2018).do not need quotes in reference I will seek an employment opportunity in four different cities including West Palm Beach, Port Saint Lucie, Orlando, and Jacksonville. Currently, I am a resident of Palm Beach, but if need be, I am flexible to relocate to the other three cities. Specifically, I hope to work in the Intensive Care Unit at JFK hospital. Out of the top two employment options, the requirements are similar as I prefer entering the specialty of ICU. The fact that the mentioned hospital offers new graduates the conducive environment to prepare themselves in different diverse settings within the hospital motivates me towards working at the facility. Need reference per apa Another motivator to work at the facility is JFK’s desire to employ new nurses after passing the NCLEX exam. The hospital also provides frequent training at the same time offer other certification which can are essential for career development. However, the night shifts are a possible detractor since I always want to have time with my family. Why is the font tone changing? Holistic life balance Many will agree that meeting work-life balance is essential for a productive personal and professional life. Without a holistic work-life balance, we risk long-term adverse impacts on the physical and mental health, family relationships as well as our work performance. Need reference per apa However, it is notable that the majority of nurses’ experience difficulty in meeting the balance because of the increasing job demands and erratic schedules of work. There are external and internal barriers which can influence the achievement of a balanced work and life. These include inadequate staffing, increasing expectation because of the ever-changing healthcare reforms and differences in generation among the healthcare providers. Need reference per apa Achieving a better work-life balance can help in eliminating the stressors. Effective time management is one of the most effective strategies for a sustainable, holistic life balance. I will ensure I schedule specific days – preferably Saturdays – for restorative breaks all through the day. I will enroll in yoga and mindfulness meditation classes which significantly help in the stress reduction. I will also take a ten-minute walk around the health facility. After work, I will always take some time to reflect and meditate on some of the positive parts of the day and life as it will also promote a good sleep at night. Nonetheless, I plan to spend some time with friends and family during my off days to avoid isolation which can contribute to stress. Between my second and fifth year, I will continue using the above techniques, while I practice evidence-base care to improve my skills on becoming a more mature and competent nurse. Stressors and Challenges It is notable that new graduate nurses experience a host of stressors or challenges during the transition to the workforce. Need reference per apa One of my major stressors is finding a placement in my preferred specialty. I have a passion for providing care for patients with more complex conditions along with several comorbidities. However, it is unlikely to get such a position because of my lack of experience in the industry. Manage the stressor; I will seek an opportunity for an organization with a high reputation for teamwork and a supportive working environment which enhance the employees’ growth. My second stressor or challenge is workplace bullying from senior and experienced staffs. It is indeed a pervasive challenge which obstructs the relevance and appropriate socialization of the new graduate nurses at the workplace (Hofler & Thomas 2016). Senior nurses may bully the new nurses to sustain control of their work environment. The stressor can only be managed through giving priority to an organization with not only a supportive culture but also one that provides a work environment which contributes to the health and well-being of both the staffs and patients. There is no doubt that time management will also be my challenge at the healthcare facility. As a new nurse at the facility, it is likely that I will be overwhelmed with the new roles of managing many patients. Other than being punctual at the workplace, there are other notable time management and organizational skills which I will adopt to manage this stressor. These include creating a ‘’to do’’ list; establishing deadlines for every task; avoiding multitasking; and rewarding myself. Lifelong Learning Since nursing is always diverse and constantly changing, there is the need for lifelong learning. In my first professional year, I anticipate enrolling and start my CCRN certification and expect the certificate in the coming year. Afterward, I will seek to acquire ANCC certification which ensures that my nursing certification is nationally recognized as this will help in promoting my competencies and relevance in the organization since the certification is considered as a measure of diligent and work (ANCC 2016). In my third and fourth year, I will be doing my Master of Science degree in nursing to advance my career and educational background. These developments will not only enhance my efficiency and competencies at my workplace but also play a significant role in improving the quality of healthcare service in the country. Professional Contributions Joining professional organizations and associations in nursing are essential for personal development since they equip one with relevant knowledge and energy to proactively provide quality healthcare services. These associations also play a critical role in advocating for the need of the stakeholders including patients, nurses and the overall society (Matthews, 2012). Since I also plan to play a role in the development of the nursing community, I plan to join the professional nursing associations such as the American Nurses Association (ANA). I plan to yearly attend the association’s event from the second year through year five. I also anticipate participating in the organization’s research with the aim of improving the healthcare industry. Conclusion In summary, during my transition period as a new nurse requires proper career planning to achieve the anticipated professional goals. There is a need to obtain a holistic work balance to enhance professional and personal development. Workplace bullying, anxiety and time management are common and likely stressors which every new graduate may experience in his or her transition period. It is also necessary to engage in different lifelong learning and professional associations to enhance efficiencies and competencies in the industry. References Matthews, J.
