Discussion: Changes in Sites of Care

Discussion: Changes in Sites of Care

Since the culture and practices of care settings are inherently different, changes in sites of care are often difficult for geriatric patients. Efforts should be made to limit changes to only those necessary; however, sometimes a patient’s situation might require multiple changes in sites of care. When selecting sites of care, such as home, assisted living, rehabilitation facilities, and hospitals, many factors must be considered by patients, their families, and their health care providers. Health status, ability to perform self-care, financial limitations, and patient preferences are all factors that might influence a patient’s site placement. As an advanced practice nurse who recommends sites of care and facilitates changes, you must evaluate factors and consider sites that limit the impact of these changes on geriatric patients.

To prepare:

    • Review this week’s media presentation, as well as Chapters 3 and 8 of the Resnick text.
    • Reflect on your personal experiences, observations, and/or clinical practices from the last 5 years. Select a case from the last 5 years that involves an elderly patient who has been in two different sites of care such as home, assisted living, hospital, etc.

Note: When referring to your patient, make sure to use a pseudonym or other false form of identification. This is to ensure the privacy and protection of the patient.

  • Reflect on issues that occurred because of the change in the patient’s sites of care. Think about the impact of differences in the settings themselves, inherent cultures of the settings, and ethical practices of these sites on the patient.
  • Consider whether the patient had an advanced directive in place at the time of the change in sites of care. Reflect on whether any difficult treatment decisions had to be made as a result.
  • Think about the impact of financial issues on site placement and treatment decisions.

Hey Robert you have to do this one for the other I’m going to post the questions go together. I’m also putting the scoring guide at the end of the question. You’re work is always awesome, but PLEASE follow the scoring the for “basic” or above. This lady is looking for anything to give a “nonperformance” on.

  • Create a 15–20-slide presentation or a 15–20-minute speech on either same-sex marriage or immigration policy.Note: You must complete this assessment before starting on Assessment 5.
    • Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
      • Discuss how sociological theory can be used to understand disparities in political power.
    • Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U.S. culture.
      • Describe the evolution of the social movements that have emerged as a result of a diversity issue.
    • Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
      • Address questions that reflect public perception using supporting data or research.
    • Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
      • Analyze the evolution of antidiscrimination law to give context to current law or policy.
    • Competency 5: Apply diversity strategies in professional, educational, and personal contexts.
      • Discuss tactics employed by activists to promote a cause.
    • Competency 6: Communicate effectively.
      • Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
    Context
  • Many of the current political, legal, and social debates in U.S. society center around diversity and its related issues. Two of those debates concern immigration policy and same-sex marriage. These debates involve not only arguments regarding discriminatory treatment of particular ethnic groups or sexual minorities but also legal, economic, and religious questions and concerns.Applying the sociological perspective to these debates is useful, because it requires researching these diverse perspectives and placing them in historical and contemporary contexts to gain a deeper understanding of the causes and consequences of the debate and current and proposed policy solutions. This also puts us in a position in which we can more accurately evaluate and critique the merits of comments made and policies suggested by politicians, leaders, and others with a stake in these debates.

  • Questions to Consider

    To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

    • How and why has U.S. immigration policy changed since the mid-20th century? What are the similarities and differences between current immigrant groups and patterns of immigration compared to historical trends?
    • What are the costs and benefits of immigration, whether legal or illegal, for the United States as a whole?
    • What are the key arguments of the stakeholders in the debate about the morality and legality of same-sex marriage rights?
    • How should disparities between state and federal policies regarding same-sex marriage be handled?

Same-Sex Marriage Debate discussion

Hey Robert, this is the second part of the question. I’m going to post the scoring guide at the bottom. Again, please follow that for me for “basic” or higher.

  • Write a 6–8-page essay comparing two U.S. states’ approaches to issues of same-sex marriage or immigration policy.Note: You must complete Assessment 4 before beginning this one.By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
    • Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
      • Discuss contrasts in how states approach a diversity issue, using theoretical ideas of power.
    • Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U.S. culture.
      • Discuss law, policy, or politics in states with varying approaches to a diversity issue.
    • Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
      • Analyze data to project how state policies might affect population migration.
    • Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
      • Discuss contrasts between two states in areas of law, politics, or policy as they apply to a diversity issue.
    • Competency 5: Apply diversity strategies in professional, educational, and personal contexts.
      • Apply historical solutions to an issue where there are discrepancies between state and federal diversity law.
    • Competency 6: Communicate effectively.
      • Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
    Context
  • How can sociological research help us understand how laws and policies are made and how they change over time? How might we use the sociological perspective to develop more effective solutions to political and social issues or create policies that are effective and based on sound research? These are questions to consider as you explore the connection between political and economic power and legislative decision making.Sociologists studying cultural diversity are also very much interested in how our beliefs about diversity are reflected in the law-making and policy-making process, including laws and policies that pertain to immigration and same-sex marriage. Something to think about is whether the policies and positions maintained by those in power actually reflect the research and data on the topic or issue they address. In other words, does the rhetoric match the evidence gathered through careful research?

  • Questions to Consider

    To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

    • Which sociological theory of power best explains the political decision-making process in today’s society?
    • How does cultural diversity influence policy making? For example, how do state policies pertaining to social issues like immigration and same-sex marriage differ depending on the cultural diversity and demographic and socioeconomic composition of that state?
    • Why is the sociological approach to cultural diversity useful for understanding how policy decisions are made and how political debates over social issues are articulated by key stakeholders?

  • Assessment Instructions

    Note: You must complete Assessment 4 before beginning this one.Building on your research and analysis of the immigration policy or same-sex marriage debates, this assessment asks you to more closely examine the connection between power and policy, and law making by comparing and contrasting how two states have handled these issues.In order to understand the link between power and political and legal decision making, you will place this process in each state in the appropriate context. That means that you need to assess the historical, demographic, cultural, and socioeconomic factors that have influenced each state’s different approach to immigration policy or same-sex marriage. You will also reflect on the consequences of state-to-state discrepancies in policies and laws regarding controversial social and political issues like these.This assessment combines the key components of studying cultural diversity from a sociological perspective: placing current social issues in historical context, understanding how demographic and cultural trends influence public opinion, and applying sociological theories to determine the role of power in shaping policy-making decisions.

Research studies are constantly being carried out in the field of medicine in a bid to determine and adopt the best evidenced based practices in the management of some of the conditions EATING DISORDERS 2 affecting human beings. Eating disorders can be defined as a collection of all the abnormal behaviors associated with poor eating habits and constant concerns about the body shape and size by the patients (Holland & Tiggemann, 2016). There are various research based studies which are being carried out so as to arrive at the most appropriate evidence-based treatment and management options for eating disorders. PICOT Statement on Eating Disorders Eating disorders pose a great health risk among teens all over the world. Salafia et al (2015) observe that eating disorders may result from environmental, physical, psychological or a combination of the three factors. Numerous studies are being carried out in a bid to find the best protocol in the management and control of this condition among teens. Both qualitative and quantitative research studies have been conducted in order to determine the effectiveness of the use of social networks and media in the management of eating disorder among teens. Thus this paper seeks to provide a brief overview of the issues on eating disorders using the PICOT question ‘Can social networks and the social media in general be excellently exploited to impact positive body image in dealing with the eating disorder condition? Qualitative Research Study, (Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison, 2016) Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison (2016) conducted a qualitative study that tries to determine the social behaviors among teens with eating disorders. The research was conducted among teens aged between twelve years and seventeen years. While conducting the research, a total of six core factors were being monitored. The six factors were; impact of hospitalization, social belonging of the affected individuals, self-monitoring among the teens, sensitivity of the teens to EATING DISORDERS 3 issues of social concern, restricted coping approaches as well as schemes for service delivery (Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison, 2016). The study sought to determine how teens with eating disorders were managing their anxiety. Additionally, the research monitored how the affected teens were building and developing their interpersonal skills as well as their social networks (Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison, 2016). The major finding of the study was that teens with eating disorders were having difficulties building proper social networks. The results also showed that most of the teens admitted to having lost friends upon diagnosis or admission; others patients reported to suffering interpersonal adversities. Female patients suffered severe interpersonal diversity as compared to male patients (Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison, 2016). Ethical Conditions Associated with the Study Ethics and ethical guidelines are of great importance when carrying out research studies, especially in the field of medicine. For the research by Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison (2016) to be conducted, the researchers were to obtain ethical consents from the responsible organizations. The study acquired ethical authorizations from City Road and Hampstead National Health Research Authority. Furthermore, the researchers were to conduct the research in accordance with the principles of Helsinki Declaration (Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison, 2016). Consent was also obtained from all the individuals who had agreed to take part in the study and detailed explanation given to all the participants before allowing them to make informed decisions on whether or not they would take part in the study (Patel, Tchanturia & Harrison, 2016) Use of the Findings in Nursing Practice EATING DISORDERS 4 The results from the study outlined the pressures and challenges affecting teens with eating disorders. The social pressures from other peers were sounded out as the major challenge which affected these patients (Fogelkvist et al., 2016). These findings are of great essence to the nursing practice since they provide ideas and suggest channels through which nursing practitioners can provide supportive information on various platforms in order to help eating disorder patients get the most out of their social lives. Social support is or great essence to all patients (Fogelkvist et al., 2016). Building better social networks reduces the social pressure on patients with eating disorders. Additionally, friends and other family members play a crucial role in supporting and encouraging teens with eating disorders to develop better and healthy social behaviors which are vital for their road to recovery (Boon, Zainal & Touyz, 2017). Quantitative Research Study, (Leonidas & dos Santos, 2014) Leonidas & dos Santos (2014) conducted a quantitative research through reviewing of various literature on the eating disorders condition. The aim of the study was to examine scientific works on social setups and social support among patients with eating disorders. The main process of conducting article search was through use of specific terms in various journal and academic sites; the literature obtained was for papers published between 2006 and 2013 (Leonidas & dos Santos, 2014) The literature searches by Leonidas & dos Santos (2014) returned six hundred and twenty articles. However, most of the articles were eliminated for failing to meet most of the requirements which had been set for the study. The final review only included twenty-four articles which had met and passed all the set standards. EATING DISORDERS 5 The study recognized that all the selected literatures review papers had established a number of issues which were related to the incorporation and advantages of social support mechanisms to teens found to be suffering from eating disorders. The four major points highlighted were; the family as the primary source of social support to the teens, good peer relations in support of the teens, websites and other online forums as well as spiritual guidance as other sources of social support to the teens (Leonidas & dos Santos, 2014). Ethical Conditions Associated with the Study The study considered articles which had ethically conducted the research prior to analysis and publication. All the articles obtained within the given time frame were supposed to have met all the ethical requirements before going on to conduct the research (Leonidas & dos Santos, 2014) The literature review articles were also required to have passed all the requirements before being considered for review. For instance, the articles were supposed to have conducted their research on the specified disease, in this case, eating disorders (Leonidas & dos Santos, 2014) Use of the Findings in Nursing Practice Nursing practitioners can incorporate the findings of these studies into helping teens and other patients suffering from eating disorders. Social media has been established as one of the best possible ways through which positive body image campaign among teens can be spread (Voelker, Reel & Greenleaf, 2015). Since teens form the bulk of the online population, it is important to avail various guidelines and support materials to teens through websites and other online media platforms in a bid to reach out to the them about some of the best ways to support their friends with such conditions as eating disorders (Voelker, Reel & Greenleaf, 2015). Additionally, nurses can be of great help in advising parents and guardians on the importance of EATING DISORDERS 6 providing social support to their teens in order to reduce and prevent the social burdens faced by these suffering from eating disorders.
