Reflection Paper For My Capstone

(Reflection Paper For My Capstone)

II need 2 and half or 3 pages reflection paper for my nursing capstone. It should be in APA format and reference page. These information should be address in the paper:

In the 6th week I thought I faced all possible accident or issue as a school nurse I supposed to know and how to handle any issue. It was interesting that every week I face new situation that needs different intervention. During my 6th week, a 3rd grade boy came to nursing office with his right hand in hard cast. He got broken bone during weekend as he was playing soccer with his dad. He complained of pain in his fingers that he can’t bend them. I looked at his fingers and the first thing that came to my mind was that he most likely suffering of possible ‘compartment syndrome”. After 4 days being in cast, he got severe pain , swelling fingers without any sensation and bluish color. I talked to my preceptor and immediately called his mom and informed her that this is emergency situation and immediately needs intervene to save his hands of getting permanent damage. Another new case I would like to talk about it is a 7th grade student just diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. My preceptor and I had meeting with his parents, school psychologist, and assistant principal to discuss his situation and come up with a care plan for him during remaining days of school year. I shared all my info about Crohn’s disease and how to help the patient based on what I learned in peds and medsurg class. It was really good experience since I noticed how the parents of the student was happy that their son would be supported and cared by the school staff and even considered extra tutoring for him in case he couldn’t attend all days at school. That diagnosis was new and he needed lots of labs and procedures like colonoscopy which may caused him to miss few schooldays. Even I felt good that I can help even very small and show my interest to care for their son as much as I can. Both those scenarios  were very good and positive experiences to me, it proved me that whatever I learned in nursing school I can use them in real patient and help them. My other intervention that at first I thought it was negative, but at the end I realized I did right thing and turned to be positive is about a fourth grade boy who needs straight cath every day 2 times. Finally he allowed me to supervise him in bathroom when he does straight cath for himself. He did it right, but after he finished it, he refused to flush the toilet and throw the tubes in garbage can. He said you have to do it. I did it, but kind of surprised why during 2 years he does this to himself with supervision of the nurse, never he did this simple thing by himself. I asked my preceptor about that and she told me because I always flush the toilet for him and throw the tube in garbage. I said respectfully to her that I think he should do it by himself , he is 10 years old and need to learn as much as independent as possible. Flushing the toilet is part of this process and when he does the harder part like self straight cath for himself , he can throw it in garbage can or flush the toilet. Of course I didn’t mean to be mean to a 10 years old boy, I just want to help him in a right way. When I brought this issue with the school nurse, I kind of regretted that I wish wouldn’t say that. My preceptor accept my suggestion and next time asked the boy to do those I noticed. Now it is a habit for him and after he is done , he flushes and throw the tube in garbage can. The nurse told me how she is happy that he is doing everything independently. So I felt I did something right by bringing this to her attention, even she is really experienced school nurse and has over a decade experience and also deeply cares for all students, but sometimes we forget something and a small respectful reminder would be beneficial. It is very important to not resist against the truth. I appreciate my preceptor for her great personality and being open mind. Those were my new experiences that should address them in my reflection paper.

Deontology Case Study Scenario Part 3

(Deontology Case Study Scenario)

Introduction

 

This media piece explains four ethical theories in order to prepare you for the Unit 3 assignment, Case Study Resolution. This media piece also includes parts 1 and 2 of the case study videos for your review.

 

Part 3

 

Deontology

 

The ethical position to do what is right out of duty or obligation. It is often called rule-based ethics.

 

Deontology has been described as “absolutist,” “universal,” and “impersonal” (Kant, 1785/1959). It prioritizes absolute obligations over consequences. In this moral framework, ethical decision making is the rational act of applying universal principles to all situations irrespective of specific relations, contexts, or consequences. This reflects Immanuel Kant’s conviction that ethical decisions cannot vary or be influenced by special circumstances or relationships. Rather, a decision is “moral” only if a rational person believes the act resulting from the decision should be universally followed in all situations. For Kant, respect for the worth of all persons was one such universal principle. A course of action that results in a person being used simply as a means for others’ gains would ethically unacceptable.

 

With respect to deception in research, from a deontological perspective, since we would not believe it moral to intentionally deceive individuals in some other context, neither potential benefits to society nor the effectiveness of participant debriefing for a particular deception study can morally justify intentionally deceiving persons about the purpose or nature of a research study. Further, deception in research would not be ethically permissible since intentionally disguising the nature of the study for the goals of research violates the moral obligation to respect each participant’s intrinsic worth by undermining individuals’ right to make rational and autonomous decisions regarding participation (Fisher & Fyrberg, 1994).

(Deontology Case Study Scenario)

Utilitarianism

 

The ethical position depends on the consequences of the action with the goal being producing the most good.

 

Utilitarian theory prioritizes the consequences (or utility) of an act over the application of universal principles (Mill, 1861/1957). From this perspective, an ethical decision is situation specific and must be governed by a risk-benefit calculus that determines which act will produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad consequences. An “act utilitarian” makes an ethical decision by evaluating the consequences of an act for a given situation. A “rule utilitarian” makes an ethical decision by evaluating whether following a general rule in all similar situation would create the greater good. Like deontology, utilitarianism is impersonal: It does not take into account interpersonal and relational features of ethical responsibility. From this perspective, psychologists’ obligations to those with whom they work can be superseded by an action that would produce a greater good for others (Fisher, 1999).

(Deontology Case Study Scenario)

A psychologist adhering to act utilitarianism might decide that the potential knowledge about social behavior generated by a specific deception study could produce benefits for many members of society, thereby justifying the minimal risk of harm and violation of autonomy rights for a few research participants. A rule utilitarian might decide against the use of deception in all research studies because the unknown benefits to society did not outweigh the potential harm to the discipline of psychology if society began to see it as an untrustworthy science.

 

Communitarianism

 

The ethical position in which the right action is derived from a community’s values and traditions.

 

Communitarian theory assumes that right actions derive from community values, goals, traditions, and cooperative virtues. Accordingly, different populations with whom a psychologist works may require different conceptualizations of what is ethically appropriate (MacIntyre 1989; Walzer, 1983). Unlike deontology, communitarianism rejects the elevation of individual over group rights. Whereas utilitarianism asks whether a policy will produce the greatest good for all individuals in society, communitarianism asks whether a policy will promote the kind of community we want to live in (Steinbock et al., 2003).

 

Scientists as member of a community of shared values have traditionally assumed that (a) the pursuit of knowledge is a universal good and that (b) consideration for the practical consequences of research will inhibit scientific progress (Fisher, 1999; Sarason, 1984; Scarr, 1988). From this “community of scientists” perspective, the results of deception research would deprive societ of this knowledge. Thes, communitarian theory may be implicitly feflected, at least in part, in the acceptance of deception research in the APA Ethics Code (Standard 8.07, Deception in Research) and in current federal rgulations (Department of Heath and Human Services [DHHS], 2009) as representing the values of the scientific community. At the same time little is known about the extent to which the “community of research participants” shares the scientific community’s valuing of deception methods (Fisher & Fyrberg, 1994).

(Deontology Case Study Scenario)

Feminism

 

The ethical position to act on behalf of persons with whom one has a significant relationship.

 

Feminist ethics, or an ethics of care, sees emotional commitment to act on behalf of persons with whom one has a significant relationship as central to ethical decision making. This moral theory rejects the primacy of universal and individual right in favor of relationally specific obligations (Baier, 1985; Brabeck, 2000; Fisher, 2000; Gilligan, 1982). Feminist ethics also focuses our attention on power imbalances and supports efforts to promote equality of power and opportunity. In evaluating the ethics of deception research, feminist psychologists might view intentional deception as a violation of interpersonal obligations of trust by investigators to participants and as reinforcing power inequities by permitting psychologist to deprive persons of information that might affect their decision to participate.(Deontology Case Study Scenario)

 

Review Part 1

 

Ben: Good Morning Jenny. Are you interruptible?

 

Jenny: Oh hi Ben. (friendly and teasing), nice surprise. Well, I was just prepping for my upcoming course, but for the department chair I am sure I can take a few minutes.

 

Ben: Well, I certainly appreciate the time, professor. I wish I had good news. Have you heard about Stan? His wife Julia just had a stroke yesterday.

 

Jenny: Oh my god, that is terrible!

 

Ben:I know. It truly is just awful. They think she will be okay but she is probably going to need lots of therapy. Stan is going to take the semester off to help out with her and the kids.

 

Jenny: Oh what a nightmare. Poor Julia, and Stan and the kids.

 

Ben: I know, that is why I am here. It leaves us shorthanded here too. Stan was going to teach biopsychology this semester and now he will not be able to. I was hoping you could step in and teach the course.

 

Jenny: (apprehensive) Oh my, well I do not know Ben, I am really not sure. I only had one biospych course myself as an undergrad…

 

Ben: No need to worry, we can get all the syllabus and all the material information from Stan and I bet you would do a great job. Listen, there we have got fifteen students who need to that course to graduate. We cannot let them down.

 

Jenny: That is a sticky situation, Ben but I am just not sure…

 

Ben: Oh you will be fine. You are still interested in that full-time position when Professor Lee retires, right? Oh by the way, I need to know your answer by 3:00 today whether or not you can teach the course. If not I need to find anotehr professor.

 

Jenny: Okay Ben. Let me think about it and I will get back to you today.

(Deontology Case Study Scenario)

Review Part 3

 

Jenny: I do not know Rhonda, something about this just does not seem right to me. Should I teach the biopsych course even though I have had almost no experience? I mean, why me?

 

Rhonda: Yeah, have you ever noticed how whenever a problem crops up at the last minute, it is always up to one of us to come in and save the day?

 

Jenny: I just do not get it. None of the full professors ever gets overloaded like this. Why did Ben not go to Alan? Do you think it is because we are not full professors yet or maybe it is because we are women?

 

Rhonda: I do not know. It seems like an old boys club to me. I bet if they asked Alan teach the class they would have offered to pay to pay him something extra. They did not offer to pay you something extra, did they?

 

Jenny: No, of course not.

 

Rhonda: See what I mean?

 

Jenny: Yeah, (sigh) something about it just is not right.

Ethics in Youth Interventions

/in , , /by

(Ethics in Youth Interventions)

(Ethics in Youth Interventions)

Short Paper: Ethical Issues Evaluate potential ethical issues that should be considered or guarded against when developing treatment interventions for children or adolescents.

Developing treatment interventions for children or adolescents requires careful consideration of ethical concerns to ensure their well-being. Privacy and confidentiality are paramount, demanding protection of sensitive information shared during therapy. Informed consent, crucial for minors, involves not only parents but also age-appropriate assent from the child. Balancing the child’s autonomy with parental involvement is delicate. Therapists must navigate cultural competence, respecting diverse backgrounds, and adapting interventions accordingly. Additionally, the potential power imbalance raises concerns about coercion and undue influence, emphasizing the need for vigilant ethical oversight.

Moreover, ongoing assessment and adjustment of interventions are essential, as children’s evolving capacities and preferences may require modifications. Addressing potential conflicts of interest, such as financial incentives for treatment providers, is crucial to maintain objectivity and prioritize the child’s welfare. Lastly, incorporating evidence-based practices while avoiding unnecessary experimentation is imperative to uphold ethical standards. In summary, ethical considerations in developing interventions for children and adolescents encompass privacy, consent, cultural sensitivity, power dynamics, ongoing assessment, and the use of evidence-based practices, ensuring the ethical compass guides every aspect of their therapeutic journey.

Short Paper: Ethical Issues(Ethics in Youth Interventions)

Evaluate potential ethical issues that should be considered or guarded against when developing treatment interventions for children or adolescents. Describe steps that should be followed to ensure that potential ethical issues are addressed properly as treatment options are determined and applied.

While the topics vary, your papers, at a minimum, should do the following:

·Answer the question or address the issue(s) described in the instructions.

·Include your perspective, when applicable, and share your opinion or explain your rationale for your position.

·Be sure to support your responses with scholarly research, and include references and citations for material presented that I not your own original work. You can use first person to indicate your opinion (I, my, etc.) in lieu of listing yourself as a source.

Format: Short papers should follow these formatting guidelines: 2–4 pages, double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA format.

People Of Japanese Heritage And People Of Jewish Heritage.

 

People of Japanese heritage and people of Jewish heritage have distinct cultural backgrounds, histories, and traditions that have shaped their identities and communities.

Japanese heritage is deeply rooted in a rich tapestry of traditions that reflect the country’s long history. Influenced by Shintoism and Buddhism, Japanese culture places great emphasis on harmony, respect, and balance with nature. The concept of “wa” or harmony is evident in various aspects of life, from traditional arts like tea ceremonies and ikebana (flower arranging) to the meticulous design of gardens and architecture. The Japanese value group harmony, community cohesion, and maintaining a sense of social order.

On the other hand, people of Jewish heritage share a history that spans millennia, with a strong emphasis on faith, community, and resilience. Judaism, the religion of the Jewish people, is characterized by a deep connection to God, adherence to ethical principles outlined in the Torah, and a sense of responsibility for one another. Jewish culture encompasses a rich literary and intellectual tradition, with a strong emphasis on education. The concept of Tikkun Olam, or repairing the world, underscores the importance of social justice and humanitarian efforts within the Jewish community.

Both communities have faced challenges and triumphs throughout history. Japanese Americans, for example, endured internment during World War II, while the Jewish diaspora has experienced periods of persecution and discrimination. Despite these adversities, both groups have demonstrated resilience and contributed significantly to global culture, science, technology, and the arts.

Today, individuals of Japanese and Jewish heritage continue to celebrate their unique identities while contributing to the multicultural fabric of the world. Their shared values of family, community, and cultural pride serve as pillars that uphold their respective communities and foster understanding and appreciation across diverse backgrounds.

Committee Dynamics in Healthcare

/in , , /by

Title: Committee Dynamics in Healthcare

(Committee Dynamics in Healthcare)

In a healthcare organization, attending a committee meeting provides a unique insight into organizational governance and decision-making processes. The committee observed for this assignment is crucial in facilitating collaboration and communication among various stakeholders, influencing organizational policies and practices. The four-word title encapsulating this experience could be:

“Healthcare Committee Decision Dynamics”

During the meeting, key roles became evident, including the committee chairperson, whose responsibility involved leading discussions, maintaining order, and ensuring adherence to the meeting agenda. The committee secretary documented proceedings and decisions, contributing to transparency and accountability. Additionally, members representing different departments or specialties brought diverse perspectives to the table, fostering a holistic approach to decision-making.

Observing the interactions revealed a collaborative atmosphere. Members actively engaged in discussions, expressing their viewpoints and raising pertinent issues. Respectful dialogue prevailed, creating an environment where each member felt comfortable contributing to the decision-making process. The utilization of evidence-based information and data in discussions further underscored the committee’s commitment to informed decision-making.

The decision-making process demonstrated characteristics of shared governance. Each member had the opportunity to voice concerns, offer suggestions, and participate in the consensus-building process. While the committee chair facilitated discussions, decisions were not unilateral; rather, they emerged through a collective effort. This collaborative approach aligns with the principles of shared governance, promoting transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in organizational decision-making.

The committee’s function encompassed policy review, development, and recommendation. Various subcommittees were responsible for specific areas, such as quality improvement, patient safety, and staff well-being. This structure allowed for a more in-depth exploration of complex issues and ensured that expertise from different domains was appropriately leveraged.

In conclusion, attending the healthcare committee meeting provided valuable insights into organizational dynamics and decision-making processes. The observed collaborative approach, diverse representation, and evidence-based discussions all contribute to a form of shared governance within the healthcare organization. This experience underscores the importance of inclusive and transparent decision-making in the complex landscape of healthcare management.

Attend a committee meeting in your health care organization. If you are not currently employed in a health care setting, you may elect to attend a committee meeting at another company, a community center, a local school, local chamber of commerce or other professional organization.

Observe the interactions between committee members and the process used by the committee to arrive at decisions.

In 500-750 words, describe the function of the committee and the roles of those in attendance. Describe your observations of the interactions between members of the committee and determine whether the process used to arrive at decisions is a form of shared governance.

A minimum of two academic references from credible sources are required for this assignment.

LASA 2- Critiquing An Article

Assignment 1: LASA 2—Critiquing an Article

(LASA 2- Critiquing An Article)

For this project, you will compose a researched response to Peter Singer’s article “America’s Shame.” In Module 4 Assignment 2, you were asked to provide your impressions of this article. In this assignment, you will take it a step further by constructing your own well-researched positions on the topic and offer thoughtful solutions to real-world problems. This assignment allows you to assess and defend the reasonableness of personal beliefs through critical assessment of Singer’s arguments and the presentation of your own, original arguments on the subject.

Review the following:

Develop a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation summarizing the main points of the article. Keep in mind that while bullet points are acceptable, complete sentences should be used throughout the presentation.

Complete the following:

  • Describe the portions of Singer’s article you seek to engage/critique.
  • Using the tools of evaluation you have learned throughout the course, create an original argument in response to Singer’s article that advances your own thesis in light of Singer’s argument. Clearly state your argument position, using complete sentences to do so.
    • Remember the nature of the stance is not important; you can agree or disagree with any point Singer makes within this article. The important thing is you construct a stance that clearly engages a portion of Singer’s text. Including properly cited examples from the article is suggested.
    • As you advance your own thesis, be sure to include your position on how to address the problems that Singer discusses in his article. Again, you may agree or disagree with Singer; however, be sure to offer your own solutions to the issue of world poverty, as discussed by Singer.
  • Support your argument with the use of original research. Use at least three credible, academic resources to support your positions. These should be sources other than Singer’s “America’s Shame” article.

Develop a 12–15-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint format. Be sure to include two additional slides—one for the title and the other for references. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.ppt.

By Saturday, July 12, 2014, deliver your assignment to the M5: Assignment 1 Dropbox.

Exploring Your Theoretical Perspectives

(Exploring Your Theoretical Perspectives)

Title: “Navigating Theoretical Vistas: Ethical Explorations in Youth Interventions”

Embarking on youth interventions demands a careful examination of theoretical perspectives, entailing ethical scrutiny. The choice of theoretical framework inherently shapes intervention strategies and ethical dilemmas. Humanistic approaches stress autonomy, demanding respect for the child’s agency and subjective experience. However, potential pitfalls arise in maintaining confidentiality while ensuring the child’s welfare. Cognitive-behavioral models emphasize measurable outcomes but warrant ethical attention in terms of potential undue pressure on youngsters. Psychoanalytic paradigms delve into unconscious processes, raising concerns about privacy and age-appropriate disclosure.

Furthermore, cultural competence within theoretical orientations is pivotal. Diverse ethical landscapes demand sensitivity, avoiding the imposition of Western-centric values. Power dynamics inherent in therapeutic relationships, accentuated in psychodynamic theories, necessitate vigilance against potential exploitation.

In conclusion, ethical considerations are integral when navigating theoretical perspectives in youth interventions. Striking a balance between theoretical fidelity and ethical responsibility is imperative to ensure the well-being of children and adolescents undergoing therapeutic processes(Exploring Your Theoretical Perspectives)

 

Understanding the way you view human behavior from a theoretical perspective is an important part of your professional development and global understanding of human behavior.

Tasks:

Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, conduct research to support your response.

In this 3- to 5-page paper, address the following:

  • On the basis of your understanding of the theoretical perspectives explored in this module, discuss what theoretical orientations you most closely align with and why.
  • Analyze and discuss whether you fall into the category of relying upon one theory, a few theories, or multiple theories to assist you in understanding human behavior.
  • Discuss how you think your theoretical preferences influence your view of human behavior.

Submission Details:

  • By the due date assigned, prepare a 3- to 5-page paper. Your response should rely upon at least five sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).
