Case Scenario:

Identify the ethical dilemma, legal violation, and moral issue in the scenario from an APN perspective as an educator, administrator, or a practitioner

Assignment Guidelines:

Using the options below based on your specialization, create an ethical and legal decision-making dilemma involving an advanced practice nurse in the field of administration, education, or a nurse practitioner: 

• Administration Dilemma – Healthcare Needs versus Resource Allocation
• Education Dilemma – Nursing Student’s Religious Beliefs versus Provision of Care
• Practice Dilemma – Honesty versus Withholding Information 

Apply relevant codes of conduct that apply to the practice of nursing and your chosen field. 

Describe one ethical principle and one law that could be violated and whether the violation would constitute a civil or criminal act based on facts. 

Construct a decision that demonstrates integrity and that would prevent violation of the ethical principle and prevent the law from being violated. 

List three recommendations that will resolve advanced practice nurses’ moral distress in the dilemma you have presented. Support your paper with a minimum of three scholarly references. 

This Assignment should be 3–4 pages in length, exclusive of cover page and references.

1. Go to https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives. “Healthy People 2030 objectives are organized into intuitive topics so you can easily find the information and data you’re looking for. Pick a topic you’re interested in and explore the relevant objectives.” (Healthy People 2020).

2. From any of the health conditions, health behaviors, populations, settings and systems and social determinants of health, choose three conditions or problems that are affecting our community and present a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation must include the following.

a. Mention and discuss “The Healthy People 2030” goals for the conditions, objectives to control or eradicate the conditions, the emergency preparedness and the role of our health care system in the prevention,  control and/or eradication of the conditions chosen. 

3. Identify the epidemiologic principles that were applied based on what you studied on the lecture.

4. The application of the three levels of prevention to each one of the conditions identified. 

5. Mention and discuss how the three conditions affect your community.

The presentation must be in APA PowerPoint format with a minimum of 15 slides (excluding first and references page). A minimum of 4 evidence-based references including the “Healthy People 2030” must be used. You must use the required APA font. 

Case Study: A 65-year-old woman was just been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was informed of this diagnosis in her primary care physician’s office. She leaves her physician’s office and goes home to review all of her tests and lab results with her family. She goes home and logs into her PHR. She is only able to pull up a portion of her test results. She calls her physician’s office with this concern. The office staff discussed that she had part of her lab work completed at a lab not connected to the organization, part was completed at the emergency room, and part was completed in the lab that is part of the doctor’s office organization.

The above scenario might be a scenario that you have commonly worked with in clinical practice. For many reasons, patients often receive healthcare from multiple organizations that might have different systems.

As you review this scenario, reflect and answer these questions for this discussion.

• What are the pros and cons of the situation in the case study?
• What safeguards are included in patient portals and PHRs to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety?
• Do you agree or disagree with the way that a patient obtains Personal Health Records (PHRs)?
• What are challenges for patients that do not have access to all of the PHRs? Remember, only portions of the EHRs are typically included in the PHRs.

 Week 6 A Comprehensive Health Education Program Presentation on a Specific Vulnerable Population                         

Your presentation should be at least 15–20 slides, not including your cover slide or reference slides. Your reference slides should cite at least seven references. Your presentation should, at the minimum, include the following topics regarding your chosen vulnerable population and related health education program/plan:Clearly states population chosenDescribes the vulnerable populationStates the current population demographicsDiscusses background of the problem, and its effect on public healthDiscusses the cultural background of the selected population and any relevant history pertaining to the populationDiscusses the psychosocial concerns and/or norms of the populationDiscusses the economic concerns of the population including, but not limited to, income levels, educational levels and occupationDiscusses specific health concerns of the populationInformation on specific risk factors for target population is presented concisely and accuratelyDiscusses prevention and control of health concerns and risk factors (primary, secondary and tertiary)Discusses the role of the public health nurse in caring for vulnerable populationsStates the core functions of public health and applies it to the care of the specific populationThree local agencies/facilities delivering services to the target population are identified and accessibility and service rendered are fully describedAdditional resources needed in the community are identified.Information discussed is current, within the last 5 years.

PD: The vulnerable population I choose was low income and homeless families, I attached the work I Did before for you to know better what I wrote.You can write about the vulnerable population following the question the professor ask and do it in slices(Power point)

Vulnerable populations face many healthcare issues that are mainly exacerbated by social factors. My chosen vulnerable population is low income and homeless families. This group of people is considered medically vulnerable because they are susceptible to chronic illnesses and do not have the financial capability to access quality healthcare. These people are also more prone to behavioral health issues and mental illnesses. The impact of these chronic illnesses tends to be more severe because of the low income and homeless families do not have adequate access to quality healthcare. Their healthcare options are limited by their economic status. Other issues faced by these populations include stigmatization and discrimination. A big percentage of them are uninsured. This increases their morbidity and mortality rates compared to other populations. 

I chose this population because I believe that with the right strategies and policies in place, they can be helped to achieve positive health outcomes. Due to their low income, this population also has a very low literacy level which means that they have trouble understanding basic healthcare concepts. I believe that by empowering this population and facilitating healthcare education, a positive outcome can be achieved. 

By addressing the issues faced by this population, healthcare disparities will be reduced or totally eliminated. Quality healthcare should be made accessible to all people regardless of the socio-economic status of the individuals. Patient advocacy is also something that is very crucial for this population due to their minimal understanding of healthcare issues and how the healthcare system operates. As Richard, et.al, state, this population may be “subjected to coercion or may be compromised in their ability to give informed consent to receive medical or surgical treatments or to participate in research” (Richard, et.al, 2016). Patient advocacy is therefore crucial when handling low-income families and the homeless.

Choose a current issue/trend topic from the following list:

1. Technology in health care
2. Collective bargaining
3. The impaired nurse
4. The global nurse workforce
5. Mentoring and coaching in nursing
6. The trimodal model of 21st-century effective nurse leaders

Create a 6- to 8-page paper in APA format including a minimum of 4 to 5 scholarly references (most recent 2015+). Explain how you would lobby your legislators or local government for funds to support your issue or trend. Include the following elements in your paper: share why you chose the specific topic, the current relevance of material, how it is integrated into clinical practice, and how the information is used in clinical setting.

 Why is the concept of family health important? Consider the various strategies for health promotion. How does a nurse determine which strategy would best enable the targeted individuals to gain more control over, and improve, their health?

For this Discussion, you create and post a graphic model depicting your theoretical foundation for research. Your colleagues will offer interpretations of your model to help you identify sources of confusion that need to be addressed.

To prepare

• Review the elements you have been developing throughout this course. Consider the following:
  • How would you show the relationships between and among major concepts? For example, how would you illustrate antecedents and consequences?
  • Is there some aspect of the existing framework/theory you selected in Week 6 that you would like to incorporate in your graphic model? If so, what modifications would you make for it to be appropriate for your research purposes?
  • How would you use your graphic model to support and/or express your research questions or hypotheses?
• Create a graphic model of the theoretical foundation for your research. Your model may include pictures, symbols, and words or short phrases.

Note: Per the Assignment instructions, you may include narrative to accompany your graphic model in your Theoretical Foundation for Research Paper (which is due by Day 7 of Week 10). However, for this Discussion, share only your graphic representation. Your colleagues should view your graphic model without the narrative and share their interpretations of your visual representation to help you identify potential sources of confusion.

By Day 3

Post your graphic model.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

By Day 5

Respond to at least two of your colleagues, conveying your interpretation of each colleague’s model. (Respond to at least one colleague who has not yet received a response.)

By Day 7

Respond to each interpretation of your model by clarifying misconceptions and expanding upon the graphic presented. (For the Assignment, you should make adjustments to your model to address these misconceptions.)
