Ethical quandaries are common in health care. Because of the young mama’s age and the fact that she had just given birth to her fifth child, the ethical quandary in your post sounds horribly sad. In my area, the most common ethical quandaries in the adult ICU are related to elderly patients who are subjected to painful lifesaving procedures (intubation, CPR, continuous dialysis, etc.) because their families do not know what their wishes are and do not want to be the ones to make the fateful decision. It creates an ethical quandary for the nurse, who is responsible for carrying out all of the physician’s orders and subjecting the elderly patient to treatments they may not have wanted. Because of those sad situations, I’ve discovered that I ask the difficult questions like “would you like us to do compressions on you if your heart stops?” “Would you like a breathing tube if you can’t breathe properly on your own?” If they respond that they do not want any artificial, life-saving measures, I notify the physician and have them second that important conversation before any action is taken. The state of Arizona has a packet called “Life Care Planning Packet” that contains information on all of the important documents that the patient and their family must complete (Attorney General AZ, n.d.).

Nursing research advances knowledge about health and the promotion of health throughout the lifespan, as well as the care of people with health problems and disabilities, and nursing actions to improve individuals’ ability to respond effectively to actual or potential health problems (Institute of Medicine, 1983). In hospital settings, fall risk is and will always be a concern. “30-50% of falls result in some physical injury, and fractures occur in 1-3% of cases,” according to the National Library of Medicine. There is no such thing as a harmless fall, with psychological consequences leading to loss of confidence, delays in functional recovery, and prolonged hospitalization. However, falls are not true accidents, and there is evidence that a multidisciplinary clinical team approach can reduce their occurrence (Morris, 2017). My facility currently uses the “WAR” strategy, which stands for “within arm’s reach.” If a patient meets the fall risk criteria, we educate them that we must always be within arm’s reach of them when they are out of bed. Patients frequently express their dissatisfaction. However, we always explain that it is for their safety and benefit. If they have any intravenous lines, oxygen tubing, or connections that connect them to their bed. For example, they must contact continuous pulse oximetry before falling. Staff must supervise or stand by to ensure that they arrive at their destination safely. When patients get out of bed, they should wear double-sided skid-proof socks. Bed alarms are required. Patients can, of course, refuse to have better alarms installed, but this is documented. Since the WAR initiative was implemented last year, our fall rates have decreased. We had 16 falls on day and night shifts combined last year. We’re halfway through 2022 and have only had 5 so far. So far, so good!

Lopes Write Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.

Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.

Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?

Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.

Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.

If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.

I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.

As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:

Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.

Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

Important information for writing discussion questions and participation

Welcome to class

Hello class and welcome to the class and I will be your instructor for this course. This is a -week course and requires a lot of time commitment, organization, and a high level of dedication. Please use the class syllabus to guide you through all the assignments required for the course. I have also attached the classroom policies to this announcement to know your expectations for this course. Please review this document carefully and ask me any questions if you do. You could email me at any time or send me a message via the “message” icon in halo if you need to contact me. I check my email regularly, so you should get a response within 24 hours. If you have not heard from me within 24 hours and need to contact me urgently, please send a follow up text to

I strongly encourage that you do not wait until the very last minute to complete your assignments. Your assignments in weeks 4 and 5 require early planning as you would need to present a teaching plan and interview a community health provider. I advise you look at the requirements for these assignments at the beginning of the course and plan accordingly. I have posted the YouTube link that explains all the class assignments in detail. It is required that you watch this 32-minute video as the assignments from week 3 through 5 require that you follow the instructions to the letter to succeed. Failure to complete these assignments according to instructions might lead to a zero. After watching the video, please schedule a one-on-one with me to discuss your topic for your project by the second week of class. Use this link to schedule a 15-minute session. Please, call me at the time of your appointment on my number. Please note that I will NOT call you.

Please, be advised I do NOT accept any assignments by email. If you are having technical issues with uploading an assignment, contact the technical department and inform me of the issue. If you have any issues that would prevent you from getting your assignments to me by the deadline, please inform me to request a possible extension. Note that working fulltime or overtime is no excuse for late assignments. There is a 5%-point deduction for every day your assignment is late. This only applies to approved extensions. Late assignments will not be accepted.

If you think you would be needing accommodations due to any reasons, please contact the appropriate department to request accommodations.

Plagiarism is highly prohibited. Please ensure you are citing your sources correctly using APA 7th edition. All assignments including discussion posts should be formatted in APA with the appropriate spacing, font, margin, and indents. Any papers not well formatted would be returned back to you, hence, I advise you review APA formatting style. I have attached a sample paper in APA format and will also post sample discussion responses in subsequent announcements.

Your initial discussion post should be a minimum of 200 words and response posts should be a minimum of 150 words. Be advised that I grade based on quality and not necessarily the number of words you post. A minimum of TWO references should be used for your initial post. For your response post, you do not need references as personal experiences would count as response posts. If you however cite anything from the literature for your response post, it is required that you cite your reference. You should include a minimum of THREE references for papers in this course. Please note that references should be no more than 5 years old except recommended as a resource for the class. Furthermore, for each discussion board question, you need ONE initial substantive response and TWO substantive responses to either your classmates or your instructor for a total of THREE responses. There are TWO discussion questions each week, hence, you need a total minimum of SIX discussion posts for each week. I usually post a discussion question each week. You could also respond to these as it would count towards your required SIX discussion posts for the week.

I understand this is a lot of information to cover in 5 weeks, however, the Bible says in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ that strengthens us. Even in times like this, we are encouraged by God’s word that we have that ability in us to succeed with His strength. I pray that each and every one of you receives strength for this course and life generally as we navigate through this pandemic that is shaking our world today. Relax and enjoy the course!
