FPX 4000 Assessment 3 Write a 4-6-page analysis of a current problem or issue in health care, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications

Question
Write a 4-6-page analysis of a current problem or issue in health care, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.
Introduction

In your health care career you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with a real world problem.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 1: Apply information literacy and library research skills to obtain scholarly information in the field of health care.
Use scholarly information to describe and explain a health care problem or issue and identify possible causes for it.
Competency 2: Apply scholarly information through critical thinking to solve problems in the field of health care.
Analyze a health care problem or issue by describing the context, explaining why it is important, and identifying populations affected by it.
Discuss potential solutions for a health care problem or issue and describe what would be required to implement a solution.
Competency 3: Apply ethical principles and academic standards to the study of health care.
Analyze the ethical implications if a potential solution to a health care problem or issue was implemented.
Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others, and that is consistent with expectations for health care professionals.
Write clearly and logically, with correct use of spelling, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.
Write following APA style for in-text citations, quotes, and references.
Instructions

Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

Describe the health care problem or issue you selected for use in Assessment 2 (from the Assessment Topic Areas | Transcript media piece) and provide details about it.
To explore your chosen topic, you should use the first four steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking. This approach was introduced in the second assessment.
Identify possible causes for the problem or issue.
Use scholarly information to explain the health care problem or issue.
Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic.
You may use articles you found while working on Assessment 2 or you may search the Capella Library for other articles.
You may find the applicable Undergraduate Library Research Guide helpful in your search.

Also Read:

Assess the credibility of the information sources.
Assess the relevance of the information sources.
Analyze the problem or issue.
Describe the setting or context for the problems or issues.
Describe why the problem or issue is important to you.
Identify groups of people affected by the problem or issue.
Discuss potential solutions for the problem or issue.
Compare your opinion with other opinions you find in sources from the Capella Library.
Provide the pros and cons for one of the solutions you are proposing.
Analyze the ethical implications if the potential solution (the one for which you provide pros and cons) were to be implemented.
Discuss the pros and cons of implementing the proposed solution from an ethical principle point of view.
Provide examples from the literature to support the points you are making.
Describe what would be necessary to implement the proposed solution.

Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like:

When the topics of nursing diagnosis and medical diagnosis are discussed, opposing viewpoints emerge. Medical diagnostics are based on the pathology of an injury or illness, as well as a remedy or method of treatment. The nursing diagnosis, which supports the medical diagnosis, is based on actions within the nurse’s area of expertise that she can perform on her own. A medical diagnostic is used to determine the cause of an illness or other health problem. A nursing diagnosis is concerned with a person’s reaction to actual or potential health problems and life processes (Nanda, n.d.).
Pneumonia is a medical diagnosis; some nursing diagnoses for pneumonia include impaired gas exchange, activity intolerance, changes in ADLs, and ineffective airway clearance, to name a few. The medical diagnosis focuses on invasive treatment measures that necessitate a high level of care in order to cure the illness or repair the injury. Because the ability to tolerate an activity can be a precursor to gaining the ability to perform activities of daily living, the nursing diagnosis supplements the medical diagnosis. Medical and nursing diagnoses are symbiotic, because in any patient care treatment scenario, nurses and physicians must collaborate to care for those in need. Nurses use evidence-based practice (EBP) to provide safe, high-quality care to patients and to improve outcomes. When developing EBP, one considers previous research (Helbig, 2018). The PICOT question must be used because it supports and provides relevance and validity for the care that will be provided.

Evidence-based practice is a conscientious, problem-solving approach to clinical practice that incorporates the best evidence from well-designed studies, patient values and preferences, and a clinician’s expertise in making clinical care decisions (Nurse.com,2022).

Nurses use EBP to provide safe, high-quality care to patients and to improve outcomes. When developing EBP, one considers previous research (Helbig,2018). It is critical that your PICOT is based on a nursing practice problem in order to provide quality patient care and improve patient outcomes.
A nursing practice practice problem is one that involves patient care, such as support, comfort, trauma prevention, any procedure, nursing intervention, recovery promotion, assessment, health screening, health education, and health care coordination. A medical practice problem is concerned with a medical condition or disease, whereas an example of using PICOT for evidence-based practice in a patient with sepsis and reduced level of consciousness would be studying the frequency of two hourly repositioning to prevent pressure ulcers. It identifies a condition, looks for causes, establishes a prognosis, and prescribes a treatment (Chiffi & Zanotti ,2015). One example of a medical practice problem is the administration of antibiotics to bedridden patients in order to destroy the causative organism.
