An Experimental Study in the Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes

PUBLIC HEALTH
Ethics in Epidemiological Research
An Experimental Study in the Primary Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes
Imagine that researchers are conducting a randomized controlled trial of a high-fiber supplement as a preventive measure in persons at increased risk of type 2 diabetes. People enrolled in the study are disease-free at the time they agree to participate in the trial, but they all have a family history of type 2 diabetes and are considered at high-risk (80%) to develop the disease during their lifetime. The 10,000 participants who start the trial are healthy individuals who are randomly allocated to receive either high-fiber supplements or placebo for several years. As you can imagine, this study will be quite expensive and will require a large infrastructure of personnel and materials to carry it out successfully.
Because type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, the potential benefits of this research are important at a population level. Unfortunately, high-fiber supplements have also been shown in a few studies to be associated with gastrointestinal blockage (which can be life-threatening) and reduced nutrient absorption, which may lead to anemia, osteoporosis, and other debilitating chronic diseases. The supplements may also reduce absorption of certain medications and cause gastrointestinal distress. The potential side effects of continuous high-fiber supplementation are only partially understood, and long-term effects are unknown.
Post your initial response to at least two of the following questions:
1. What are the potential risks and benefits to be considered when designing this study?
2. When the side effects and long-term effects of a potential preventive measure are largely unknown, is it ethical to expose participants to these risks? Why or why not?
3. Is it ethical to deny the possible prevention benefits of high-fiber supplements to persons in the placebo group? Why or why not?
4. Do the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the participants and to society? Why or why not?

Explain Joyce's behavior.

Nursing

Joyce is a 65-year-old school nurse who has recently retired from an elementary school. She is beginning to feel rather lonely now that she is no longer working. She is a widow with adult children living out of the area. Her children have suggested that she may want to move to their city and to be closer to her grandchildren. She has been avoiding these discussions with her family and tells them all is fine. Moving seems like a major upheaval to her. Although she has been in fair health physically, at her last visit to the health care provider, she had lost 10 pounds and is just below her desired weight.

See the link to the Overview of the Nursing Process document to assist with this assignment.

Initial Discussion Post:

Select a developmental theory presented in this module and apply it to the scenario above. Use the chosen theory to address the following:

  • Explain Joyce’s behavior.
  • State two (2) priority nursing concerns and related nursing interventions for her.

Base your initial post on your readings and research of this topic. Your initial post must contain a minimum of 250 words. References, citations, and repeating the question do not count towards the 250 word minimum.

Discuss how the theoretical concepts and assumptions of the Theory of Power as Knowing Participation in Change apply to this specific case scenario. Identify one MSN Essential that most relates to the application of this theory in clinical practice.

Gloria is a 71-year-old retired married woman who would like to work part-time and remain active in her grandchildren’s lives, but she is constrained by pain in her lower back, knee, and foot. She sees herself as fortunate in many regards; she has maintained a healthy weight, has a comfortable home, and is financially stable. She also is very involved in her church and local community. She lives with her husband, who is a war veteran and retired police officer. Her two daughters and most of her grandchildren live in Florida. She enters the hospital for left hip replacement; the knee has bothered her for many years and its condition recently has worsened. She is reluctant to use traditional pain treatments, and believes that prayer is the more important source of her healing and pain relief. She now is willing to consider surgery and a combination of traditional and non-traditional treatments so she can return to her family roles, church volunteerism, teaching classes, and working at a local craft store.

Discuss how the theoretical concepts and assumptions of the Theory of Power as Knowing Participation in Change apply to this specific case scenario. Identify one MSN Essential that most relates to the application of this theory in clinical practice.

**As a reminder, all questions must be answered to receive full credit for this discussion. please include your name in the title bar of the discussion. Also, make sure to use scholarly sources to support your discussion.**

EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANT CONNECTION BETWEEN HONEYBEES AND THE HEALTH OF THE ECOSYSTEMS

 The Buzz About Bees Hide Folder Information

When you look at your garden, everything seems fine — but everything is not as it seems. The honeybees are missing or in short supply worldwide due to colony collapse disorder, and the whole biosphere is affected. Cut and paste the URL below into your browser to watch the PBS Nature special “Silence of the Bees” at:

click here for more information on this paper

View comments on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIUo3STj6tw or do a search for updates on the Colony Collapse disorder (CCD). Then, answer the following questions (you may type the question number and then just the answer, but please use complete sentences, correct grammar and spelling.)

1. Outline what scientists have discovered so far that has shed light on the problem?

2. Explain the important connection between honeybees and the health of the ecosystems.

3. Think about the 6 principles of sustainable thinking, and then select two of the principles to come up with solutions to the problems of colony collapse disorder. (Hint — some examples are found in the video. Since everything is connected, the relationship between pesticides sprayed on the plants visited by the insects and the honeybees is an obvious connection to be investigated — and is the subject of current research).
