NURSING

Assignment 1: Sociocultural Norms, Health, and Nursing.  The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered.  Post a response to one of the two discussion topics below, using information from the lectures, reading assignments, library resources, and Internet resources. All responses should be posted to the appropriate topic in the Discussion Area.  

Topic 1: Vulnerable Populations  As you discovered in this week’s lectures and textbook readings, numerous vulnerable populations exist in the community. Identify three local organizations in your community that deliver healthcare services to vulnerable populations. Based on your research findings, answer the following: 

•Which population does each organization serve? 

•What services does it provide? 

•Where does it get its funding (local, state, or federal sources)? 

•Evaluate the relative value of each organization’s services to individuals and families in the vulnerable population it serves.  

Topic 2: Stigma Associated with Disease  Some vulnerable populations may have diseases, health impairments, and pregnancy that bring humiliation and predisposed judgment. Unfortunately, these health conditions can cause vulnerable populations to become ostracized by the general public. 

•What ways would you choose to function as an advocate for vulnerable populations? 

•Discuss the types of assistance you might provide to each of the following clients: ◦A 24-year-old pregnant woman who is currently homeless and unmarried ◦A 16-year-old girl who has run away from her foster home and who has an IV drug habit ◦An immigrant worker whose TB skin test just came back positive ◦An employed, married man who contracted Hepatitis B through a blood transfusion 30 years ago  Citations should conform to APA guidelines. You may use this APA Citation Helper as a convenient reference for properly citing resources or connect to the APA Style website through the APA icon below.

 Part 1 – Contract Clauses  !!!!(SEE ATTACHMENTS FOR PART 1)!!!!
1. For the City of RPV, City of Bellevue, and Excerpts from a Typical Construction Contract:
Determine the standard of care (SOC) required by each contract.  Identify the section of the contract that defines the SOC. Is this standard of care heightened as compared to the ordinary professional standard of care?  Explain your response.
2. Identify the section(s) of the Bellevue Youth Center Expansion Professional Services Agreement that deal with the following contract terms and conditions and prepare an explanation on your understanding if this clause as written would be acceptable or unacceptable and why:

  1. Scope Changes
  2. Contract Termination
  3. Legal Action
  4. Personnel
  5. Negligence/Indemnification

————————————————————————-
Part 2 – In-Class Exercise Preparation
Read the scenario below and then study the contract.
You are the CEO for Inland Architects. You firm is well established in Southern California and has a reputation as providing high quality work.  Your rates reflect this high quality; they’re above the average rate in the area but they’re not exorbitant.
This is your first significant opportunity to work for a major telecom company.  You would really like to close this deal.  You believe that this contract could be a stepping stone to other lucrative telecom work.  You’ve heard Big Corp is a tough negotiator and seldom gives much on their end of negotiations.  You’re willing to accept more risk than you normally would to get this opportunity, but you’ll walk if Big Corp comes in and says “Take it or leave it,” you’ll leave it.  You’re not going to sign a bad contract just to get the work.
You’ve decided to focus on your top 3 to 4 concerns.  If you can get some movement from Big Corp on these concerns, you can make this contract work.  Bottom-line:  you don’t have to have it all your way, but you won’t mortgage the farm for this contract.
Read the contract and identify the 3 to 4 areas in which you most want changes from Big Corp.  For each area decide what changes would make the contract acceptable to you.  Come with written notes, or you won’t be effective in the negotiations.
1.      What clauses in the contracts deal with standard of care?  Is the required standard of care stated in the contract greater than the ordinary professional standard of care? Which statements from the contract support your view?
2.      If you were representing Inland Architects, would you sign this contract as written?  If not what paragraphs would you object to?
3.      For each paragraph you identified in (2), explain how much you would give up at the Big Corp representative in order to reach an agreement with Inland Architects.

 Please reply to the following student post adding some extra in=formation relate to this post
Less than 10 % similarity
APA
short answer.
 
To best understand the concepts of ethics, define the following terms:
Utilitarianism, Egoism, Relativism, and Absolutism and  write a hypothetical situation where each of the defined terms above is utilized.
Utilitarianism is a theory that focuses on the overall happiness of many. It encourages nurses to adopt actions that promote positive outcomes in healthcare (Baragona, 2016). Therefore nurses work towards minimizing the actions that prejudice the interest of the patients. A nurse working at an emergency setup will give care to a patient who has high chances of survival based on the severity of the injury.
Ethical egoism postulates that people act in furtherance of their self-interest about morality. Therefore, a nurse will push to get a study leave even if the department faces a shortage because they focus on achieving a certain goal based on their self-interest (Meyers, 2018). Relativist ideology argues that healthcare providers should offer passionate care to those professing morals and beliefs contrary to their own (Baragona, 2016). For instance, a nurse should take care of a female who has secured illegal abortion and is bleeding profusely despite believing that abortion is morally wrong.
Absolutism theorists postulate that God-given laws are the absolute truth. Nurses prescribing to this line of thought use the immutable truth to decide (Baragona, 2016). In the discussions regarding euthanasia, they do not agree to undertake procedures leading to a patient’s death because the holy scriptures prohibit them.

Over 60% of the patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in New York City were men. Researchers have speculated that women’s more robust immune system might put them at a lower risk and that biological factors drive men’s disadvantage to some extent. However, there are likely additional social factors that have contributed to men’s greater risk. Draw on at least two course materials assigned this week to speculate what social factors and gendered expectations might be contributing to men’s worse outcomes from COVID-19. A complete answer will clearly distinguish between sex and gender. Give specific examples whenever possible. Your answer should be between 450 and 550 words.
