Questions:

1 . Describe a time spirituality was important in your life or that of someone you love or cared for (e.g., family member, friend, patient). Why was it meaningful in that situation?

2.  What would you do if a patient asked you to pray with them or read the Bible or another holy book he/she might have at the bedside? How would this request make you feel? Would you experience any conflict if you were a different faith than the patient? Explain your answer.

3.  There is something called scripting which is having something written and memorized for difficult situations. Write a prayer or spiritual message you could use in the above situation. Explain why you chose those words.

Nursing work

In an essay of 1500 to 2000 words, using at least 2 APA style cited references, write an essay in APA style on:

1. A 10th grader is brought to you by a teacher. She whispers in your ear to please look at the forearms of the girl because she suspects cutting. What is cutting? Examine the different reasons for cutting. Who in the school could you collaborate with to help the adolescent? Would you call her parents? Her pediatrician? After you have taken care of the situation, the teacher comes back “wanting the scoop”. What do you tell the teacher? Support your answers with legal reasons for or against your answer.
2. You are a middle school nurse. One of the popular jocks on the basketball team committed suicide over the weekend. It is now Monday morning.  Review the mental health considerations of this issue. Synthesize the information and explain what you would do about the mental health issue, what may follow, and the crisis at school.
3. You are part of a committee to prepare a disaster plan for your elementary school. Review your textbook, synthesize the information, and report what your role would be. Of chief concern are your children with chronic illnesses.

Please review the substantive posting requirements posted in the forum and announcements: When you post responses to your peers the response needs to be “substantive” to receive credit. Substantive posting criteria includes: Acknowledge what your peer stated (agree or disagree). Include additional information. End the post with an open-ended follow up question. This is important to encourage further discussion.

1.  Identify and discuss disaster types.

2.  Explain the disaster planning process and nursing participation.

3.  Work on the following case studies;

A.  Case Study # 1

As a county health department nurse, your supervisor has informed you that the local Emergency Management Team is issuing a warning of impending disaster as an F3 tornado is expected to hit your large, metropolitan city within the hour. 

a.  Which emergency measures would you expect to have already been in place?

b.  What are your potential activities during each phase of the emergency management response?

B.  Case Study # 2

A plane crashed while landing on the runway during a snowstorm. The plane was not able to stop in time and slipped off the end of the runway onto a busy interstate highway. Public health nurses were expected to respond to this disaster as well as many first responders. (Learning Objectives: 1, 2, 5)

a.  What are the responsibilities of public health nurses in disaster management?

b.  Public health nurses have been requested to use the START model to assess the cars involved in the plane crash on the highway. What is the START MODEL, and how are numbers assigned to the individuals?

c.  The houses in a two-mile radius around the airport have been requested to evacuate the area because airplane fuel is leaking into the river located directly next to the airport. What guidelines should be considered for individuals requested to evacuate?

d.  When the public health nurses were color coding for prehospital triage, what do red and black color codes mean?

 APA format word document (in-text citations needed).

A minimum of 3 evidence-based references no older than 5 years must be used. 

  A minimum of 800 words not to exceed 1,000 are required without counting the first and last page.  

Select a research article, other than the articles from your assignments, from the GCU library. Provide an overview of the study and describe the strategy that was used to select the sample from the population. Evaluate the effectiveness of the sampling method selected. Provide support for your answer. Include the article title and permalink in your post.

Using the research article selected for DQ 1, identify three key questions you will ask and answer when reading the research study and why these questions are important. When responding to peers, provide other questions and answers that could be considered in relation to the peers’ studies.

Briefly reflect on your general education capstone experience and address the following questions:

• What are the key takeaways from this class that you will carry with you?  
• What did it take to bring your paper and presentation together, and how has that experience shaped your professional outlook?
• What recommendations or advice would you provide for students who will take this capstone course in the future?

Your paper should be 1/2–1 page in length. Adhere to APA Style throughout.

This is a description of what the capstone course is about.

* The capstone seminar is a culminating in-depth experience in which students formulate their integrated General Education learning experiences into a final oral and written research-based project, which comprehensively addresses a pressing issue in health care and advances a proposed defensible solution. The application of learned methods, concepts, and theories into the construction of this project serves as the culminating summative evaluation of General Education Program Learning Outcomes achievement following completion of the General Education courses. 

A 17 year old male client in an inpatient psychiatric unit is being uncooperative. The client is standing in front of the nursing station, where the nurse answers incoming phone calls and discusses patient care with the treatment team. The nurse kindly asks the client to return to the dayroom and join the rest of patients for group. However the client says, “No, I am perfectly fine where I am.” A staff member observes the situation and steps in and states, “you need to go to group now, or we will have to escort you to the quietroom.” The client looks at the staff member and says in a calm tone, “you can’t make me move, I am not doing anything wrong.” The nurse realizes this situation is escalating and is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Please consider all the details provided above and answer the following questions:

1. What does the principle of the least restrictive environment have to do with this situation?
2. What role does HIPAA play in this scenario and why does it make the situation more complicated?
3. Which nurse would be more likely to initiate a restrictive intervention for this client, a nurse with a utilitarianism view of ethics or a deontological view of ethics? And why?
4. Finally, how would you resolve this situation?
