Question 1
A. The question of whether abortion is is ethical or not primarily pertains to how a person views abortion according to their own believes. Abortion clinics are not illegal as long as they comply with standards set forth by the state such as providing the necessary area and equipment for interventions, to have these performed by a licensed physician and to be able to transfer a patient to a hospital facility should they need emergency services following an abortion or complications (The Florida Statutes, 2019).
b. Patients must be allowed to exercise autonomy whenever possible. This is legal and ethical. Many patients have advance directives stating what interventions they want for their health. It is the nurse’s duty to respect these wishes regardless of their own views. This is ethical because you are respecting the patient’s autonomy and legal because there may be a document that states such decisions (Weiss, Tappen Grimley, 2019).
c. A health surrogate is legally appointed to make decisions for the patient. However, the issue of ethics may arise when some people think it’s too soon to remove life support or when the possibility of recovery has not been ruled out. As nurses we provide care  to maintain a patient’s optimal level of functioning and to allow for dignified death when there is no other option. The concept of end of life however poses many ethical dilemmas in some nurses as they become more knowledgeable in this area (Weiss et al., 2019).
d. Diverting drugs is both unethical and illegal. The nurse that participates in this is incurring in medication error by administering less than the prescribed dose and stealing. These are both reportable issues because they put both the nurse and the patient’s life at risk. Impaired coworkers need to be reported and explore the possibility of rehabilitation (Weiss et al., 2019).
Question 2
Deontological theory is based on the idea that a person is performing an action based on good intentions and what they believe is ethical based on their rules. However, the breaking of these rules even if with justifiable motives is considered wrong (Weiss et al., 2019). Utilitarianism argues that the most correct approach is the one that will generate the best outcome for the most amount of people. It takes into account the interests of others and not solely that of one person (Driver, 2014). Principlism is a relatively newer approach that combines other principles in order to address dilemmas while making emphasis on autonomy, non-maleficence, beneficence and justice (Weiss et al., 2019).
Question 3
It is the responsibility of all healthcare professionals involved in patient’s care to provide accurate and reliable information regarding prognosis, treatments and medications. Some of this information may be distressful for some to hear however, knowing the truth can assists in properly managing conditions and preventing complications and ultimately it allows the person to make decisions on their own care. Not being honest violates the principle of veracity (Weiss et al., 2019). If you anticipate that the information that will be provided may cause distress it may be wise to ask for assistance from other members of the interdisciplinary group such as social workers, doctors or chaplains, also when starting this conversation make sure there are no interruptions and allow ample time for patient to ask questions and discuss concerns.
Question 4
The nurse-patient relationship has its foundation in trust. Patients rely on nurses and other healthcare professionals for information and guidance regarding their health. Withholding health information can create ethical dilemmas between nurses and family members and violates the principle of veracity as well as the nature of the relationship (Weiss et al., 2019). If the family wishes to not disclose information to the patient the nurse can assist by discussing with the family their concerns and fears regarding the information and explore alternatives that ease the family’s concerns and allows the patient to be in control of their health and decisions (Weiss et al., 2019).
Question 5
The code of ethics is one of the most fundamental aspects of any job. It provides a description of what is expected of a professional while at the workplace and provides a framework for nursing to function accordingly (Weiss et al., 2019). If a behavior is witnessed that does not align with the code of ethics it must be reported to the appropriate entity. Passwords must remain private as sharing them can lead to confidentiality breach and patient information is at risk. Every action carries a consequence therefore the person witnessing an unethical act can be held as responsible for the consequence as the person who initiated the act. Moral courage means bypassing the fear and holding true to your values and ideas of what is right and wrong (Schmidt, 2015).
Question 6
Confronting colleagues can be difficult especially when friendships arise from the daily routine of working together. This can impair the judgement and affect the way a situation is viewed. Rather than assume she is taking the supplies I would talk to her regarding the child’s situation and how she is dealing with it and try to gain some insight as to not jump to conclusions. Offer support if necessary. Taking supplies is stealing and that is dishonest. The inappropriate handling of supplies can be costly to the unit. If I witness a nurse stealing and do nothing about it, I become an accomplice, and if I do say something and in fact, she needs those supplies for her daughter then I would be interfering with her daughter’s recovery. This type of dilemma is usually what causes moral distress in nurses, knowing what the right action is but not being able to take it (Weiss et al., 2019).
Question 7
There are many aspects of end of life care that create dilemmas in nurses. A nurse needs to examine her own views and feelings before acting as to not project her own perspectives. A terminal disease as the word implies is one with no cure. However, two people may run different courses even with the same disease therefore estimating the time someone has left is difficult and often creates more anxiety in the patient. As a nurse I would explain to the patient that while it is unfortunate that his disease has no cure, he should take comfort in knowing we can work toward making the rest of his time valuable, meaningful and with dignity. We can use the time to reflect on his life, his achievements, happy moments and even not so happy ones. I would take time to discuss fears such as painful death, dying alone and feeling isolated. Patients wit terminal disease fear this more than the actual death itself and by exploring those feelings we can help them process the situation more effectively and find coping mechanisms (Trivate et al., 2019). Grieving is a normal part of the process and not being honest for fear of mentioning the word death can affect this.
Question 8
The patient has the right to know what he is taking. As a nurse I would explain what it is for, what to expect and possible side effects. The nurse has the duty to provide this information and accept that the patient has the right to refuse this medication as well.

Assignment 2: LASA 1 Assignment—The Leader as a Strategist Report
For this assignment, you will choose an organization to analyze. This organization can be one you are personally familiar with, or one you have observed to be an effective organization, You now become a newly appointed senior leader in that organization.
As a new leader, you must prepare a report for the CEO that assesses the organization’s overall alignment between its vision, mission, values, and strategy. This report should consist of the following sections:

An analysis of the strategic cascade of the organization This includes assessing the organization’s strategy and market position. Use the framework implied in Michael Porter’s (1997) article “What is Strategy.” When describing the business strategy of your organization, consider the following questions:

What is the target market (target customer)?
What is your organizations value proposition (How does it deliver value that satisfies the target’s wants and needs?)?
How is your product or service positioned in the market (What specific features and attributes define the product/service and how is its value reflected in its pricing, distribution, marketing communications, etc.?)?
How is your organization sustainably different from your competitors (What is the source of uniqueness and how sustainable is it from being diminished by competitors?)? 

A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis A SWOT analysis is a strategy planning tool that examines both internal and external environments for factors and trends that should shape planning and operations over the next five years. Environmental factors internal to the company are classified as strengths (to be leveraged) or weaknesses (to be mitigated), while external factors are classified as either opportunities (to be pursued) or threats (to be monitored and responded to). 
Some primer questions for the SWOT analysis include the following:Strengths

What advantages does your organization have?
What do you do better than anyone else?
What unique or lowest-cost resources can you draw upon that others cannot?
What do people in your market see as your strengths?
What factors mean that you get the sale?
What is your organizations unique selling proposition (USP)?

Weaknesses

What aspects of your product or service could you improve?
What market segments or competitive areas should you avoid?
What are people in your market likely to see as weaknesses?
What factors can make you lose sales?

Opportunities
Threats

What obstacles do you face?
What are your competitors doing?
Are quality standards or specifications for your job, products, or services changing?
Is changing technology threatening your position?
Do you have bad debt or cash-flow problems?
Could any of your weaknesses seriously threaten your business? 

A summary of the internal environment, including the organization’s values and the key elements of the organization architecture that influence worker behavior. 
Include the following characteristics when analyzing the internal environment:

Structure: This includes the ways the organization assigns formal roles and responsibilities, decision-making authority, expertise and skills, and work tasks. Think of the organization chart and how its implied structure directs the decision making, resource allocation, and workflow of the organization. Is it consistent with the strategy?
Systems: This comprises the information flows that coordinate activities between groups and across the organization structure while helping direct worker behavior, including performance management, financial management, operating, forecasting and planning, and other regulating mechanisms. How do these systems help align workers and their actions with the strategy?
Culture: This consists of the unwritten rules and norms that govern worker behavior and help coordinate the activities across structural boundaries. Is the organization culture an enabler or impediment to the corporate strategy? What specific behaviors embedded in the culture support the strategy? What specific behaviors block the strategy? 

A synthesis of the information evaluating the ability of the organization to implement the strategy using Kouzes and Posner’s Five Practices (for example, modeling the way) as a framework. 
Include answers to the following:

Company Culture

Describe the values and culture of your organization.
What are the values of your organization?
How are they reflected in the behaviors you see at work?

Employee Behaviors

Describe the behaviors in your organization.
Are these behaviors consistent with the business strategy?
Where do they conflict with the strategy?
What new behaviors are required to align with the strategy?

Leadership

How might you and other leaders create new behaviors to support the strategy?
What specific actions would you implement to communicate, motivate, model the way, coach, inspire the vision, challenge the process, and encourage the heart?

Your response to each part of the assignment should be approximately three pages.
Your final product will be in a word document and be approximately 6–8 pages in length and utilize 4–7 scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

There are many interesting areas in the field of social psychology,

There are many interesting areas in the field of social psychology, so I had to come up with an activity to focus us in on just a handful of the many fascinating concepts related to the social dynamics of human interaction.  I have settled on Attribution theory and the Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.
1.  First, we need to become familiar with the concept of the self-fulfilling prophecy.  You will find this topic mentioned on pages 563-564 of the 11th edition of the Myers in Modules textbook.   I have also prepared a pdf from the Psychology Today website which provides additional clarification of the social dynamics which create the self-fulfilling prophecy. 
View the article here:  Using Self-Fulfilling Prophecies to your Advantage (Psychology Today) 
2.  Next, view the 15-minute video I’ve prepared which overviews the concepts of attribution theory, the fundamental attribution error, and the self-fulfilling prophecy.  (the link should open; I’ll also add the links for this assignment to the Assignment area in our Blackboard). 
3.  You are also advised to view the Power of the Situation video.  (The link should open if you click here; you will also find the link in our Course Resources area in Blackboard.) 
For your assignment, Iwant you to reflect upon your own experience with attributions and the self-fulfilling prophecy by writing a 1-page narrative demonstrating your understanding of one or both of these concepts, and providing specific examples of both the positive as well as negative effects of our expectations about others, or what they believe about us.  You can discuss how you have developed certain attitudes or beliefs about various groups of people (some might call these stereotypes) which influence how you react to these persons, treat them, etc.  What effect might your treatment of them have on their own attitudes and behavior?  You may also discuss how you have been the recipient of someone else’s attitudes toward you (for good or bad) which has affected you in some way.  The goal is for you to explore the social aspects of human interaction, and reflect upon how our social experiences affect how we feel about ourselves, how we act in social situations, advantages and disadvantages we’ve received as a result, and so on.   You may want to read the short articles I‘ve attached with this assignment and included here:
·       Good Looking Longer Life(1).pdf
·       lehmiller.com-Dressing_Sexy_Hurts_Women_In_High_But_Not_LowStatus_Jobs.pdf
You might also want to include a brief discussion of what we as perceivers of others can do to AVOID creating negative self-fulfilling prophecies, as well as what we as targets of others perceptions can do to avoid negative self-fulfilling prophecies.  Sometimes it’s important to take a look at ourselves to see why others may be reacting to or treating us in ways we may not understand at first.  This assignment is simply an attempt to open our eyes a bit and see how we are both creators of our social reality as well as the recipients of it. 

Case study, mohr chapter 10, the interview and assessment process

Case Study, Mohr
CHAPTER 10, the Interview and Assessment Process
In completing the case study, students will be addressing the following learning objective:
Describe essential elements to include in psychiatric interviews and the assessment process.

The student nurse is accompanying the psychiatric nurse during the nursing interview and assessment of a newly admitted patient.  The psychiatric nurse told the student that preparation with subjective and objective data collection is an important part of the process.  The nurse explains that assessment has reference to the interviewer’s interpretation and prioritization of all data for the client.  The nurse must have self-awareness and self-knowledge to be objective and avoid influencing the responses of the client.  Anxiety on the part of the nurse may limit the ability for thorough data collection and interpretation.  Anxiety in the nurse may evoke anxiety on the part of the client. The psychiatric nurse stressed that a process recording, or written analysis of the interaction between the client and nurse, is essential for nurses to recognize the effects of their communication style in the assessment process.  A review of the client’s history is important, and a private setting for the interview is necessary.  The content of the nursing assessment should include the ability and reliability of the client’s response to questions of the interviewer and the skill of the nurse in identification of relevant facts.  The nurse should discuss with the client prior health history, any present illness, and the reason for seeking healthcare at this time.  Medication history with compliance and allergies of the client require investigation.   Substance use by the client, past illnesses, and family history need exploration.

(Learning Objective: 2)
a   The student nurse asked the clinical psychiatric nurse practitioner to explain what she considered the most essential part of the assessment process. How should the psychiatric nurse respond to the student’s question? Explain your answer.

The pre-proposal | Psychology homework help

The Pre-Proposal
 
The intent behind this assignment is for you to demonstrate mastery of the course learning goals, especially your understanding of qualitative and quantitative research found in the literature which is used to address issues within the counseling discipline. Since each of you face unique situations in your professional work, and likely hold different academic and professional goals, you may research a topic of your choosing within the discipline of counseling.
For this assignment, you will develop an original research pre-proposal. A research pre-proposal is a concise description of a research project created to gain approval either from funding sources or academic officers before they begin more in-depth work on a research project. If their pre-proposal is acceptable, they write a full research proposal, which typically consists of the first three chapters of a dissertation. Writing an effective research pre-proposal will demonstrate your knowledge of basic research concepts and your ability to apply the existing literature to the field of counseling. Please see The Pre-Proposal Annotated Template for more information.
Choose a specific research site so your research pre-proposal will be as realistic as possible. If the site you have in mind actually exists, use a pseudonym to avoid any ethical breaches. For example, if the research site you have in mind is a counseling clinic, you could refer to it as Clinic XYZ. If your research site is a university, you could call it University XYZ.
Use the annotated template to guide the writing of your paper. In the paper, you will:

Explain the significance of a research problem.
Develop a literature review that contains themes and demonstrates synthesis of sources.
Select an appropriate research design and develop a research purpose statement and research question.
Design an effective data collection plan.
Design an effective data analysis plan.
Demonstrate how to apply ethical and culturally relevant strategies to research design.

Written Requirements

Length of paper: 10–12 pages, excluding title and reference pages.
Number of References: Minimum of eight peer-reviewed empirical journal articles which are no more than seven years old.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

ethics and social justice

Assignment 1: Discussion—The Future of Social Security
In the last few years, the fate of the Social Security administration has come into question. The system faces various challenges like the growing number of retirees and the shrinking number of workers paying into the system. In this module, you will look at possible solutions to such problems. You will also examine the political and economic consequences of implementing changes in public policy.
Your textbook proposes several solutions for maintaining the solvency of the Social Security administration.

Select one solution from the textbook that you believe might be effective.
Using the Social Security Administration Web site (www.ssa.gov) and the Argosy University online library, research the arguments made in support of this solution.

Social Security in the United States averages to about 40 percent of the citizens’ wages. This is two-thirds of the international average, which is about 60 percent (Macionis, 2009). In addition, politicians in the United States want to cut benefits further. Keeping this in mind, respond to the following:

Explain reasons for the disparity in Social Security between the United States and other industrialized countries.
Discuss whether cutting benefits is a good policy decision for the United States.
Give examples and reasons in support of your response.

Provide appropriate justification for your analysis.
Write your initial response in 200­–300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
By Saturday, August 27, 2016, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, August 31, 2016, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Cover the following items in your posts:

Provide a statement of clarification.
Provide a point of view with rationale.
Challenge a point of discussion, or draw a relationship between one or more points of the discussion.
