Scenario 1  Post Partum Haemorrhage

Mrs P is critically ill after delivering her first baby. She has had uncontrolled bleeding post-partum. Her severe blood loss is putting her at risk of dying. Doctors wish to transfuse 4 Units of packed red blood cells as her Haemoglobin level has now dropped to dangerously low. The midwife estimates Mrs P’s blood loss to be approximately 1200 mls since the birth of the child 6 hours previously.

Mrs P is now showing signs of hypovolaemic shock, medical staff are concerned she is a risk of cardiac arrest. Her blood pressure is low; her oxygen saturations are falling despite oxygen administration. She is tachycardic at 112 beats per minute but the pulse is weak….

Scenario 2  Right to Die

Mrs Joan White, aged 45, was diagnosed with the rare Pick’s dementia 2 years ago. Since then she has rapidly deteriorated, and now requires artificial nutritional support to sustain life. Doctors have inserted a nasogastric tube, and the dietician has started a regime of enteral feeds to maintain her body weight and meet the right nutritional needs. Mrs White has strongly voiced her disapproval to this intervention, but the doctors gained consent from her husband Mr White who she had earlier appointed as her Enduring Power of Attorney (Medical Treatment)….

Scenario 3 Individuals right to…….

Mr Jack Green is 68, single, and living in the supported accommodation facility where you work. Jack’s only known relative is a distant cousin, and he looks upon the staff of this facility as his family.Jack has a couple of hobbies that you are increasingly uncomfortable with. The first is his involvement with mail order companies. Every week several parcels arrive with products Jack has ordered. Quite often, he also receives a free product as part of a customer appreciation deal. Inevitably, Jack gives these freebies to individual staff members. Although this practice started quite innocently (with a bar of chocolate or a packet of lollies, of late Jack has been giving away gifts such as watches, fancy pens, diaries or similar items. You are concerned that accepting such gifts is unethical. You want to ask Jack to stop giving these goods to staff, but you are not sure of whether you would be breaching any policies, or rights, or law…..

 First, refer to the Tracks and Topics for the Final Project document and select a track and a topic within that track that you would like to focus your final project on. (Note: In this document, you are provided with three articles for each topic, but you will need to find two additional articles in Module Three to use for your final project.)Choose your track and topic thoughtfully as you will not be able to switch your track and topic once chosen. Do not worry if you are not familiar with the tracks or topics at this point in the course; you will be learning much more about them throughout the term. Please be sure to contact your instructor if you are having any trouble choosing your track.Next, analyze one of the articles within the tracks, which will provide practice for your literature review. When you complete your literature review, you will be addressing more specific elements. These questions are the first thing to think about when beginning a literature review. Keep in mind that these questions are practice and preparation for the more detailed literature review elements to come.

  • What is the title of the article? Provide a citation for the article in APA format.
  • What is the purpose of the article?
  • What is the hypothesis of the study? In other words, what claims do the authors make in the article?
  • What variables (factors) are being looked at as an influence on social thinking?
  • If these variables or the relationship between these variables have been studied before, what does the article indicate about the findings of previous studies? This shows historical significance.
  • Describe the research design that was used in the study.
  • Do you think the research in this article was conducted in an ethical manner? Why or why not?

Each question requires an answer in one to three sentences, although you can write more if needed. This should result in a journal assignment that is around one page in length. Be sure to cite directly from the sample article to support your answers.

Read the Hospital scenario, located in the Allied Health Community. Be sure to review the Instructions and Legend information.
In a total of 250-500 words, respond to the questions located in the Hospital scenario. 
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA  Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not  required.

 
Type of care provided
Scenario
Question 1
Question 2
Question 3
A hospital is an acute care short-term stay and emergency medical center that also includes medical 
departments such as, surgical, obstetrics, infectious disease, radiology, laboratory and mental health.
How would you determine which skills, certifications, and licensur
e would be effective in retaining the 
current nurses?
Is there a direct correlation between additional skills and retention and motivation of the nurses?
How would you determine who would be provided the skills development? Are all skills for all nurses 
feasible?
You are the administrator of a medium-sized hospital. The Director of Human Resources has been 
summoned to an executive team meeting in an effort determine why an unusual number of nursing staff 
leaving for other employment. During the discussions, the Director of Nursing provides her thoughts re

garding why the nurses may be less productive and why some are departing. She states that the primary 
reason is salaries/benefits. A charge nurse thinks the reason might be working conditions, especially 
involving patient load in the various nursing units. Overall morale is low
, which is adversely affecting pro

ductivity. This has also resulted in some patient quality outcomes discovered by the Continuous Quality 
Improvement team.
During the discussion, the Senior Director of Admissions shares some experiences she had with a for

mer employer–that the nursing staff tended to remain longer with the employer based on good working 
conditions, specifically in the area of learning new skills, obtaining additional certifications, licensure, and 
cross-training for other areas not usually assigned. She feels that these measures result in higher reten

tion and patient quality outcomes.
After the meeting, you meet with the Director of Nursing and Human Resources Director, who is also in 
charge of all training and development for the hospital. As the administrator
, you consider developing 
a small group to explore the feasibility of providing more skills development and training to your current 
nursing staff. Before implementing this directive, consider the following:
Question 4
Question 5
How would you determine if additional compensation would be required for trained nurses?
How would you quantitatively determine the cost of this initiative?

Question Description

The purpose of this Assignment is to explore how a theorist explicates his or her philosophy and thoughts behind a theoretical field. As in other fields of study, nursing has a plethora of theorists and theories. These theorists have developed their paradigm over time enriching it with research and dialogue with other theorists.

Directions

You are going to explore how a theorist of your choice created his or her theory. Did it develop as an acorn becoming a mighty oak over the decades? Did it arrive as a burst of light like the big bang as some believe created our universe? Was it developed from a blueprint like a spaceship where thousands of scholars worked together to create a rocket to the moon? In point of fact, how is a theory developed? This is what we are exploring.

You will pick a theorist who interests you, it does not have to be a nurse theorist. You may also choose from other disciplines such as: behavioral, leadership, business, education, technology.

You will become the theorist immersing yourself in the writings from the earliest mentioned to the most current.

As you read, look at how you (taking on the persona of the theorist) developed the theory.

In the first stage, theorizing occurs. This is where you, as the theorist, identify the concepts of what nursing is and is not. Perhaps you questioned what concepts were guiding those in nursing practice and then started to question your role. You started asking yourself, “Where am I in nursing, and where the profession is going? Is there some overarching concept that guides the professional in his or her practice?” This is where you recognize that a theory is needed.

In the second stage, syntax is developed. This is where you will define the terms. Look for changing definitions of terms. Consider, for example, Jean Watson. She starts by defining the word “caring.” Within the last ten years she has refined her terminology changing the term caring to caritas. This demonstrates a growth and maturation from decades of research she and other scholars did to produce the theory of caring.

The third stage is theory testing. Defined as the phenomena behind the theory that are exposed through research. The definitions of terms are refined. The theorists and other researchers consider whether this theory helps answer questions that arise in practice. This is where your theory is used in by a widening group of researchers. For example, graduate nursing students request the tool you developed while testing your theory.

The fourth and last stage is evaluation. This is where philosophical debate occurs as the concepts are applied through evidenced based practice in the act of providing nursing care.

Assignment Details

For this Assignment, you are going to write an article for a nursing journal explaining how you developed your theory through the four stages (theorizing, syntax, theory testing, and evaluation). Your paper must be 3 to 5 pages, not including the title and reference pages.

Using Natural Medicine To Treat Cirrhosis
For this project, you will take the role of a nurse practitioner treating a patient with a chronic condition( CIRRHOSIS). Your patient is not completely satisfied with the treatments you’ve tried and asks about a specific alternative therapy (**natural medicine to treat cirrhosis). Unfamiliar with these sorts of therapies, you decide to do some research before making recommendation. Your objective is to determine whether or not you would recommend regular treatment( which one as per CDC’S guideline recommendations)  either alone or in combination with alternative treatment. The paper should be 4 pages excluding the title page and references. Is required a professional APA format , with scholarly journals  citations no older than 5 years.  Paper will be checked in turnitin for similarity ,more than 15 percent will be consider plagiarism.

You will include your overall strategy in the ACF negotiation towards your position and what flows you will find acceptable and unacceptable.  Please see the examples in Module 12 Supplemental section to guide you and give you inspiration.  You do not have to be verbose or poetic in words, but this document will serve as your own guide to further negotiations.  Please provide references where possible since other negotiators will ask you about your numbers anyway.
In addition, please provide two control panels (use the Contract spreadsheet, not the huge calculation one) to show two different flow sets.  The first set of flows and reservoir operations should give you the BEST situation for your group.  The second control panel should give the LEAST ACCEPTABLE situation for your group.  That is, this deal is what you would still accept, but only barely…  It is like buying a used car.. you would LOVE to pay Zero or 5 bucks (the Best situation…),  but… if push came to shove you would pay up to $3500 bucks  (Least Acceptable level).
My intent is that you know what flow and reservoir conditions will give you (and your constituency) the best results and minimally good results.  Thus, it should help you to identify good deals and alterations that benefit your group.  Because when you will be negotiating with 9 other people (with some people on your side and others diametrically opposed to you), you need to know what is a good deal for you and what is not.  Else, you will be taken for a ride and your negotiating grade (Phase II) will suffer significantly.
Please attached a Word or PDF file, along with the control panels of your BEST and LEAST ACCEPTABLE DEALS.  Also please give me some sentences on why each of the two deals are good for your negotiating position….  Remember to alter BOTH the reservoir management settings (the level and release) as well as the consumptive demands.
