microbial growth

 

You will be the expert: Imagine you are teaching a class on controlling microbial growth in the environment. To test your students, you will present them with a scenario including a site and some probable microbes present. They must design a strategy to eliminate harmful microbes from the area.

In this discussion, each student should present a scenario for analysis by his or her classmates, and propose an answer to another classmate’s scenario. Be as creative as you can!

Himan Subjects protection

This course is designed to prepare investigators involved in the design and/or conduct of research involving human subjects to understand their obligations to protect the rights and welfare of subjects in research. The course material presents basic concepts, principles, and issues related to the protection of research participants. 

Evidence based research involving human subjects requires that researchers be cognizant of and adhere to the important tenets necessary to protect subjects from abuse, harm, injury, and/or other undesirable outcomes resulting from the research process.  Based on this fact, write a minimum of 2 pages (Title page and Reference not included in page count) of an APA formatted paper answering the following questions with a minimum of 3 “short” sentences for each question: 

  1. Historical background of human subjects protection? (10 points)
  2. Find and discuss at least one historical incident of human subjects abuse in research and what human right was violated. (10 points)
  3. What steps will you take to minimize risks on human subjects? (10 points)
  4. What populations are considered vulnerable populations and why? (10 points)
  5. What are appropriate ways to recruit subjects? (10 points)
  6. How would you properly obtain consent? (10 points)
  7. What are the elements of a properly executed consent? (10 points) 
  8. What committees are responsible for monitoring the protection of human subjects? (10 points) the above are also the RUBRIC.

Scoring Scheme:

  • Total points for questions/content: 80 points
  • Title page and a minimum of 2 References: 10 points
  • Minimum of 3 “short” sentences to answer each question: 10 points
  • TOTAL POINTS: 100 (the gradebook will re-weight this total as 50 points or 5% of the course grade)

NOTE: This is a written APA formatted assignment and “NOT” a YES or NO answer assignment. You are expected to answer each question with at least 3 short sentences, points will be deducted for using a single sentence. Title and Reference pages are required.

Expectations

  • Length: a minimum of 2 pages, title page and references not included in page count
  • Citations: a minimum of 2

DB second part RNP and end of life care

 

Choose 1 focal point from each subcategory of practice, education, research and administration and describe how the APRN can provide effective care in end of life management

Using the American nurses association position statement, recommendations for improvement in end of life management focuses on practice, education, research and administration. Listed below are steps that nurses can take to overcome barriers in healthcare practice.

Practice 

1. Strive to attain a standard of primary palliative care so that all health care providers have basic knowledge of palliative nursing to improve the care of patients and families. 

2. All nurses will have basic skills in recognizing and managing symptoms, including pain, dyspnea, nausea, constipation, and others. 

3. Nurses will be comfortable having discussions about death, and will collaborate with the care teams to ensure that patients and families have current and accurate information about the possibility or probability of a patient’s impending death. 

4. Encourage patient and family participation in health care decision-making, including the use of advance directives in which both patient preferences and surrogates are identified. 

Education 

1. Those who practice in secondary or tertiary palliative care will have specialist education and certification. 

2. Institutions and schools of nursing will integrate precepts of primary palliative care into curricula. 

3. Basic and specialist End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) resources will be available. 

4. Advocate for additional education in academic programs and work settings related to palliative care, including symptom management, supported decision-making, and end-of-life care, focusing on patients and families. 

Research 

1. Increase the integration of evidence-based care across the dimensions of end-of-life care. 

2. Develop best practices for quality care across the dimensions of end-of-life care, including the physical, psychological, spiritual, and interpersonal. 

3. Support the use of evidence-based and ethical care, and support decision-making for care at the end of life. 

4. Develop best practices to measure the quality and effectiveness of the counseling and interdisciplinary care patients and families receive regarding end-of-life decision-making and treatments. 

5. Support research that examines the relationship of patient and family satisfaction and their utilization of health care resources in end-of-life care choices. 

Administration 

1. Promote work environments in which the standards for excellent care extend through the patient’s death and into post-death care for families. 

2. Encourage facilities and institutions to support the clinical competence and professional development that will help nurses provide excellent, dignified, and compassionate end-of-life care. 

3. Work toward a standard of palliative care available to patients and families from the time of diagnosis of a serious illness or an injury. 

4. Support the development and integration of palliative care services for all in- and outpatients and their families. 

Study worksheet questions

I have completed my study worksheet with the answers.  I would like someone to check for the answers to make sure it is corrected.  It weights heavy on the grade.  I really want to have someone to assist me to make sure all the answers are corrected.  

Thanks.
