Discussion 07: Tuskegee Experiment

In Week 1, you learned about the 1932-1972 Tuskegee Experiment, in which 399 black men were subject to medical research by the U.S. Public Health Services without their consent. Use what you’ve learned about this experiment, and your textbook, to answer these questions:

.Researchers used utilitarian ethics to support their actions. Do their actions make sense when viewed from a utilitarian perspective? Why or why not?

.Explain why and how Kantian ethics might have changed the researchers’ behavior.

Following discussion with my preceptor, there are different aspects that do need to be taken into account when proposing my education program to the OB clinic. The financial aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is how will the education program which is a pamphlet be printed and given to patients. The financial aspect would be a small portion of the clinic budget as the hospital has a print shop that allows for printing of educational papers to be done and ordered efficiently. One quality aspect that needs to be considered is increasing knowledge of parents. At the present moment there is a lack of retention of educational topics which leads to a lack of knowledge amongst parents on some areas of maternal child health. Increasing knowledge amongst parents depicts the need for having different methods of education to be successful with retention of knowledge. Also, clinically this education program will improve overall wellness for mother and baby following discharge from the hospital. The education pamphlet consists of tips to improve nipple pain and trauma during breastfeeding, ways to soothe a fussy baby, techniques to assist with knowing when a baby has had enough nutrition and when developing a sleep schedule is necessary. All of these aspects will improve the wellness of mom and baby following delivery. Overall, these aspects play a role in being successful with implementing an education initiative at the clinic.

Childhood psychosis is extremely rare; however, children that present with psychosis must be carefully assessed and evaluated with appropriate interviewing of parent, child, and use of assessment tools.

For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with early onset schizophrenia.

Learning Objectives

  • Which Decision did you select?
  • Why did you select this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #1 and the results of the Decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #2: Treatment Plan for Psychotherapy
  • Why did you select this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #2 and the results of the Decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #3: Treatment Plan for Psychopharmacology
  • Why did you select this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this Decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #3 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?
• Also include how ethical considerations might impact your treatment plan and communication with clients and their families.

Note: Support your rationale with a minimum of three academic resources. While you may use the course text to support your rationale, it will not count toward the resource requirement.

Please answer the following questions in 75-100 words using the APA-6th-Edition-Template-without-Abstract.dot template.

Discuss in 500 words or more the differences between and advantages of MAC, DAC, and RBAC.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google. Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased.

Literature Review Paper

A literature review aims to highlight the current state of knowledge regarding a topic under study. Literature reviews are comprised of secondary sources and as such do not report any new or original experimental work. The main purpose of a literature review is to situate the current study within the body of literature and to provide context for the reader. A literature review is not a summary but a synthesis of the material you have read. In this course the purpose of the literature review is to answer a significant clinical question.

Instructions:

Your paper needs to follow the following criteria:

1. Choose a problem faced by clients in your practice area that you think is important and would like to learn more about.
2. Use your knowledge of PICO to develop a well-build narrow clinical question. For example: In adult patients with total hip replacements (P), how effective is pain medication (I) compared to aerobic stretching (C) in controlling post-operative pain (O)? (the development of the PICO question should not be including in the paper).
3. Write a five (5) page literature review paper on the standing knowledge of the chosen question.
4. Include a minimum of five (5) journal articles, at least three (3) from nursing journals. However, make sure that the (5) journals are the one’s analyzed and synthesized in the results and discussion sections.
5. The body of the paper should be made of the following titled sections: Title (introduction), Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
6. Provide a specific and concise tentative title for your literature review paper (You may use the results or at least the variables in the title).
7. Abstract is not required
8. Include a 1-page introduction of your topic (background information), the focus/aim of your review. The introduction should include a statement of the problem, briefly explain the significance of your topic study, and act to introduce the reader to your definitions and background. Must include your main statement (i.e. the purpose of this review is…{PICO Question}).
9. The method section should include sources, databases, keywords, inclusion/exclusion criteria, and other information that establish credibility to your paper.
10. The results should summarize the findings of studies that have been conducted on your topic. For each study you should briefly explain its purpose, procedure for data collection and major findings. This is the section where you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of studies.
11. The discussion should be like a conclusion portion of an essay paper. It serves as a summary of the body of your literature review and should highlight the most important findings. Your analysis should help you to draw conclusions. In this section you would discussion any consensus or disagreement on the topic. It can also include any strengths and weaknesses in general of the research area. If you believe there is more to research, you may include that here.
12. Finally, you will need to conclude your paper. At this point you have put substantial effort into your paper. Close this chapter with a summary of the paper, major findings and any major recommendation for the profession.
13. In general, your paper should show a sense of direction and contain a definite central idea supported with evidence. The writing should be logical, and the ideas should be linked together in a logical sequence. The ideas need to be put together clearly to the writer and to the reader.
14. Papers will be graded by rubric. Please take time to review the rubric so that you are aware of the expectations for the review paper.
15. Format references and citations using APA guidelines.
