Cultural and Ethical Issues in Nursing

Topic will be provided and sourcess. See attachment for topic and resources already found.

An annotated bibliography provides a foundation for you to search and review pertinent literature that aligns with the content and concepts of this course. Through an organized and guided review of the literature, you will begin to develop an understanding of the various types of literature that is causal, biased, and/or peer reviewed. As you progress in your professional education, you will need to learn how to successfully identify peer-reviewed articles within scholarly journals.

Assignment For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography on a topic related to nursing.
Please locate and conduct a comprehensive search the scholarly literature for at least 3 peer-reviewed articles published within 5 years. This annotated bibliography should provide sufficient background on your topic with current relevance to nursing practice.
Each article in your annotated bibliography should be referenced according to current APA format. After the reference, you will include a summary, assessment, and a reflection.

Summary: Your summary should focus on an analysis of the information within the article. Please avoid simply repeating the article content. Question the main purpose of the article, main arguments, main points, and main focus. Include the type of research was used in the article and the findings or results.
Assessment: The next step after your summary will be your assessment or evaluation. Question the reliability of the information and if the delivery was objective or biased. Question any limitations, strengths, and weaknesses. How was this content relevant to your topic of interest?
Reflection: The last step is your reflection on how this article aligns with your topic interest. How can you use this article to support or show a contrast on your topic? Describe how the information in the article added to your understanding of your topic. Question if the article influenced your perspective on your topic.

Length: 3-4 pages, not including the Title Page. Include 3 scholarly, peer-reviewed resources.
Each annotated bibliography should be no longer than one page. Your submission should include a Title Page. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to CNI College Academic Integrity Policy. Upload your document and click the Submit to Dropbox button in Canvas on Week 6.

Theories Accounting for the Role, Composition and Evolution of powers of the European Union

Essay question to be answered: Does Neofunctionalism or Liberal Intergovernmentalism best account for the role, composition and evolution of powers of the European Union?

Thesis: Neofunctionalism and Liberal Intergovernmentalism work in unison to explain the contemporary European Union; its current role, composition and evolution of powers are due to a complex interaction and adoption of both schools of thought propagated by the two theories.

Provide a brief analysis of the two theories and how they compare and contrast.

Spend the majority of the essay applying the theories to the Role, composition and evolution of powers of the European Union and how each of these two theories can be used to explain how and why the role, composition and evolution of powers of the EU are as they are today.

Please use the sources listed below as a starting point for research. All sources must be academic-grade sources. Please use footnotes for citations; footnote every 100 words.

#GEA2 / Problem-Solving / Global Citizens

Students’ final GEA 2/Global Citizens Assignment is to engage in problem-solving for the purpose of getting more precise on what values, biases, and cultural systems may be contributing to rising patient dissatisfaction scores and increasing burnout in the Western healthcare context. Additionally, this
assignment requires students’ self-awareness as they explore their worldview and how their own spiritual/religious values complement or conflict with those exhibited by the authors in the primary reading for this assignment as well as other students in the course. (Students shall read Chapters 2 and 3 of Spiritual Caregiving: Healthcare as a MinistryLinks to an external site., which is provided in the Files section of Canvas).

The prompt for this assignment further requires students to engage in critical and analytical thinking about what Carson and Koenig refer to as the ‘Spiritual Crisis’ of Western healthcare by comparing and contrasting earlier versus modern relational dynamics between patients and providers. Students will be challenged to consider their own biases, those of the authors associated with the primary text for this assignment, as well as the potential biases of those who have been charged with bringing about this ‘Spiritual Crisis’ in Western healthcare, all in an effort to relate to the issues associated with this prompt more objectively. This assignment inherently incorporates the student learning outcomes and encourages students to think about civic engagement through a personal, spiritual, and moral lens – particularly by considering the prosocial mission and purpose of healthcare professionals. Finally, students are expected to synthesize this information succinctly and engage in an exchange about it with at least two of their peers in this class by replying to their GEA 2/GCP assignment within the course discussion board.

In light of all this, an exemplary assignment submission will provide substantive answers to the following questions:

(1) Within the second chapter of Spiritual Caregiving, what do Carson and Koenig mean when they discuss the crisis of healthcare in the West today as a spiritual crisis? Do you agree or disagree? Why?

(2) What other systems/issues do they associate with the crisis that they believe the field of healthcare presently faces, and how do these concerns about the Western healthcare system resonate or conflict with your own personal or spiritual convictions?

(3) How might their vision of a different motivational ideal for pursuing work as a healthcare professional in the third chapter practically address the concerns Carson and Koenig raise?

Please Note: This assignment must be 2-3 pages, Times New Roman, 1” margins, double-spaced, size 12
font, submitted on CANVAS.

Module 3: Individual Assignment: Case Analaysis

Assignment Overview

In this assignment, you will use a clinical case scenario to appraise risks and elements of malpractice in practice.

Esteban is a busy professional in his late thirties. Three years ago, at his last visit, the doctor recommended he quit smoking and lose weight. According to his doctor, his blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol were a little high and improving his diet would help improve his overall health. He has cut back on his smoking and has also gained a little weight, despite his efforts to lose. He was too busy to return to the clinic for 6 months follow-up labs or return for last year’s health maintenance. He returns to the office today, three years later, for another health maintenance visit.

Fasting Labs: 2021
A1c = 6.3%; Urinalysis – Glucose 280mg/dl; Cholesterol Total – 288mg/dl; Triglyceride – 420mg/dl; CMP Glucose – 235mg/dl
Fasting Labs: 2019
A1c = 6.3%; Urinalysis – Glucose 280mg/d; Cholesterol Total – 201mg/dl; Triglyceride – 230mg/dl; CMP Glucose – 134mg/dl

Guidelines

Prepare your response to the case about Esteban and post to the Discussion Forum to share with peers. Address the following in your response:

Identify practice-related (1) element/s of malpractice and (2) legal risks that have occurred in the case presented.
Describe possible legal and ethical implications associated with this case and propose sound decisions based on evidence-based standards to navigate and mitigate case appropriately as a provider.
Share a potentially risky practice or event with legal or ethical implications that you have encountered in your nursing practice experience. Reported practice or event must have relevance to primary care and advanced practice experience.
Explain how the competency of ethical practice aligns with your proposed EBP project and how information gained from this case analysis will help you improve your personal ethical practice standards as an APN.

Culture Paper on Islam culture

Cultural Diversity

Cultural and religious beliefs toward medical care can vary greatly from the traditional medical practices that are used predominantly in the United States. These beliefs can have a significant impact on a person’s ability to accept and benefit from medical treatment.

This assignment is to research the medical beliefs and practices of another culture. In class you will choose the culture you want to research. Each student can choose a culture that they would like to research. Students may choose a culture (other than the US) or a religion that has beliefs that may impact medical care (i.e. Scientology). Include the following information:

General information about the culture, attitudes towards health and illness with focus on mental health – notice that attitudes toward mental illness are worth 20% of the grade of this paper – be sure that it is covered thoroughly

Role of the family
How do the families of people in the selected culture treat someone who is ill? For example they may make certain foods, use specific ointments, or keep someone isolated.

Medical practices and remedies
For example in the US a typical medical practice is to prescribe medication. A common remedy for a sore throat is tea with honey.

Role of the health care practitioner
For example in the US we have many health care practitioners including: physician, nurse, psychologist, therapist (OT, PT, and SLP), and chiropractor – each one of these practitioners has a different role. In other cultures there may be some type of “healer” or a person who uses magic to cure illness.

Role of the OT practitioner
How should an OT practitioner in this country (the USA) approach a patient of the specified culture? This does not mean how OT would be practiced in that culture.

Prepare a 4 page, double-spaced, 12 font size, with a minimum of 2 references (must use APA format and site references within the text). It is acceptable to have an interview with a person from the culture as one of your references.

Grading Criteria
General information about and medical beliefs of culture 20%
Attitudes toward mental illness 20%
Medical practices and remedies and role of the family 20%
Role of OT practitioner (with a client of this culture, in the USA) 30%
Professionalism/presentation 10%
Total 100%
Please review the grading criteria closely. Consider how much each section is worth and plan to be thorough in each area. The information included must be specific to the culture you are researching. For example, consider the topic of the role of the OT practitioner – there are some things that should always be done regardless of culture, such as finding out about the culture, being sensitive to cultural preferences, ensuring the client can understand given directions, etc. Since this information is so general it does not provide any insight as to what the OT practitioner should do with someone from the specific culture being discussed – therefore, although this information is correct, it would not count as points in this area.

Do your own work. Papers will be submitted via turn-it-in.com. Reference any quotes. It is not acceptable to have >25% of your paper as direct quotes, even if they are referenced correctly. Any directly copied information that is not properly referenced will be considered plagiarism and the grade will be “O”.Cultural Diversity

Historical Counter narative

The counter-narrative is among the most important tools in critical theory and pedagogy. Standing in contrast to the dominant stories being used to explain the past, present, and future, the counter narrative suggests the key roles that privilege and oppression have played in the construction of reality. In a historical sense, the counter-narrative is a vitally important way of illuminating the experiences of marginalized or minoritized populations so that the written history of social phenomena (such as higher education) better reflects the lived experiences of all those that it claims to represent. This course was designed to focus on an emerging counter-narrative related to oppression and the historical and contemporary experiences of marginalized communities in higher education. However, as with all forms of storytelling, the view of the counter-narrative provided is incomplete and may also obscure our view of other vitally important counter-narratives. For this assignment, you will help to rectify this issue by either elaborating further a theme from this course or by proposing a theme that might be explored in a future iteration of this course.
Examples of possible expansions on the course theme include topics like: the experience of Latinx populations, the role of universities in the creation of White racial superiority mythos, and “philanthropy” and higher education for indigenous persons. Examples of potential new themes include: queer students and moral panics over student sexuality, the complex relationship between universities and student athletes, the experience of underprepared students in a consumption-oriented admissions marketplace, students with non-dominant forms of capital in a world where higher education serves as a status-marking good, and the climate for students identified as religiously non-conforming at faith based institutions.
