If you summarize or paraphrase information in your own words, you must cite sources to provide credit for the ideas and concepts.

Arguments:

1. Although many societies have practiced human sacrifice, human sacrifice was not considered wrong, even though we believe it is wrong in our culture. Therefore, human sacrifice within those cultures was not really wrong.
2. Same-sex marriage is right because the Constitution offers equal protection under the law and society has agreed to follow the laws set forth in that document.
3. “And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.” (Leviticus 11:7–8)
4. Your neighbor runs into her house screaming, blood dripping down her arm. Five minutes later a man with a bloody machete comes running down the street and stops and asks you where she went. You answer honestly “in her house.”
5. Margarita spoke with her family and they all agreed that they would let her take the medication that would allow her to die peacefully instead of in pain.
6. Souerette watched over the children in the daycare meticulously. She knew which children she could trust alone because of their behaviors with each other.
7. He does not have the right character and temperament to be a state governor. He avoided service by faking a medical condition, he rarely tells the truth, he eats and drinks too much, and he has little patience with people.
8. Patient autonomy and free choice are morally correct.
9. I believe that it is perfectly fine to lie about some things.
10. Wearing a mask when engaging with the public is the right decision because it protects the welfare of those in your community.

Rubrics 

Description

Review the PICO / Levels of Research rubric (see rubric attached)

Identify a nursing EBP or Research resource found by searching the internet. This article should be applicable to informatics (telehealth, EMR, Smart Cards, any other topic). Summarize the research article and findings. Is this a practice issue that is evidence-based and should be analyzed using PICO? Is this a non-clinical or research-based topic that should be evaluated using levels of research? Provide an overview of PICO or Levels of Research (whichever is appropriate for your article) and explain why they are used. Discuss how you used information literacy skills (PICO or levels of research evidence) to evaluate the healthcare information that you found.

This 2-page assignment should be submitted following APA format including title and reference pages.

Older adults (OA) are at risk for potential hazards of hospitalization, these include: immobility, delirium, medication side effects, malnutrition, pressure ulcers, procedures, peri- and postoperative periods, and hospital-acquired infections and more. Discuss in detail three potential hazards for this population while in the hospital and identify potential prevention strategies for each hazard.

Your initial posting should be at least 400 words in length and utilize at least one scholarly source 

interviewing a nurse

 The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children.

When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.  

Children even respond differently during stages from infancy to adolescence. This poses potential safety concerns when prescribing drugs to pediatric patients. As an advanced practice nurse, you have to be aware of the safety implications of the off-label use of drugs with this patient group.

To Prepare

• Reflect on the types of drugs used to treat pediatric patients with mood disorders.
• Reflect on situations in which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use.
• Think about strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Consider specific off-label drugs that you think require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.

Write a 1-page narrative in APA format that addresses the following:

• Explain the circumstances under which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use. Be specific and provide examples.
• Describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Include descriptions and names of off-label drugs that require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.
