Any medical professional faces numerous ethical dilemmas in the course of their career. Although nurses are obliged to follow the code of ethics when resolving such issues, it is no secret that they are frequently forced to compromise some ethical values in favor of others (Haahr et al., 2020). I have been in an ethically challenging situation that required me to weigh the pros and cons of every possible option before making a decision.

The experience involved one of my patients and her relatives. The patient comes from a community where it is considered normal for family members to intervene in the medical treatment of a relative because family bonds are vital. The relatives of my patient requested that I call the ARNP to prescribe drugs that they thought would prove helpful to her. They added that these exact pills were used by everyone in their community and that they proved effective. Moreover, the patient herself asked me if I can ask the Doctor to prescribe these pills, even though she was not quite sure if they would help address her condition; she said that she relied fully on her parents’ judgment. However, I was aware that the drugs would not be suitable for treating her – in fact, they might even worsen her condition. Thus, the situation was quite challenging.

The ethical dilemma required me to compromise some of my values. On the one hand, I am supposed to respect the wishes and beliefs of my patients. Cultural competence is, in fact, an essential part of the nursing code of ethics (Isaac et al., 2016). If I had asked the ARNP to prescribe the drugs as requested by the patient’s family, I might have been considered as a culturally competent nurse. On the other hand, I would have put the patient’s health at risk, as it was unknown how the drugs might have affected her. While protecting the patient from potential harm required me not to do what the family wishes, I would have disrespected the family’s traditions. Thus, I had to choose between two options, neither of which was perfect from an ethical perspective.

I chose to prioritize the health of my patient over her family’s beliefs. The nursing code of ethics requires that nurses adhere to the principle of nonmaleficence, which implies avoiding any actions that may cause harm to patients (Gaines, 2021). Upon weighing the pros and cons of every option, I concluded that it was unreasonable to risk the patient’s life just to please her family. I was aware that by doing this, I would break one of the ethical principles and offend the family. Nonetheless, the patient’s health was much more important to me. Hence, I refused to convince the ARNP to prescribe the drugs because I could not put my patient’s health at risk.

The study of environmental health is crucial to one’s understanding of the hazards and potential adverse effects posed by environmental agents and the extent to which environmental factors play a role in human disease. This foundation is essential for being an effective advocate for preventing environmentally caused diseases and for more advanced study of environmental health issues.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on the topic, “Health Hazards Caused Due to the Environment in the Recent Past.”

On the basis of your research and understanding of the topic, create a 3page (except the title and the reference pages) Microsoft Word document that addresses the following questions:

• Discuss one type of environmental health problem that you have in your own community.
• Explain how you can determine whether you are exposed to increased levels of environmental hazards in your home.
• Identify and explain the types of associations found between environmental hazards and health outcomes.
• Explain a relationship between exposure to a hazard in the environment and degenerative brain disease, such as Alzheimer.
• Explain why children are more vulnerable to environmental toxins than adults. What types of policies are needed to protect vulnerable populations from environmental hazards?

Support your responses with reasoning and examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.

While the implementation plan prepares students to apply their   research to the problem or issue they have identified for their   capstone change proposal project, the literature review enables   students to map out and move into the active planning and development   stages of the project.

A literature review analyzes how current research supports the   PICOT, as well as identifies what is known and what is not known in   the evidence. Students will use the information from the earlier PICOT   Statement Paper and Literature Evaluation Table assignments to develop   a 750-1,000 word review that includes the following sections:

1. Title page
2. Introduction section
3. A comparison     of research questions
4. A comparison of sample   populations
5. A comparison of the limitations of the study
6. A conclusion section, incorporating recommendations for further   research

Discussion: Gender Stereotypes, Sexism, and Sexual Violence

Gender stereotypes influence and perpetuate what is known as patriarchy. Patriarchy is a concept that considers men the holders of power and authority resulting in domination of all sectors throughout society. Men have held the most powerful positions in the world and have guided our laws, policies, and culture. Patriarchy not only impacts society on a global scale through structural oppression but also our daily lives. It influences individual relationships and the daily interactions amongst husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, and colleagues. Feminist theory posits that men use violence in attempt to maintain this power and privilege. Domestic abuse and sexual assault are forms of violence that clearly exert power and control over a person. While abuse can be demonstrated by both men and women and survivors of abuse could be of either gender, statistics show that women are the overwhelming victims of abuse and violence. Patriarchy and the sexist and misogynistic viewpoints propagate views of women as subordinates who are meant to be kept in “their place.” Violence is a form of managing and maintaining a male’s role in society. To prepare for this Discussion, review the Johnson case. Reflect on the gender and sexism stereotypes expressed and the essential skills for social work practice you have learned throughout the program.

To prepare: View Johnson (Episode 2) and consider the gender and sexist stereotypes made around sexual assault by the professional in the episode. These stereotypes may revolve around gender, life circumstances, socioeconomic status, and education level. Below is the transcript:

 Johnson Family Episode 2 Program Transcript [PHONE BUZZING]  SANDY HARRIS: Hello?  VICKI FRANCIS: Is this Sandy Harris?  SANDY HARRIS: Yes. Yes, it is.  VICKI FRANCIS: I’m Vicki Francis. I’m a nurse at City General. You’re with the  sexual assault response team, right?  SANDY HARRIS: Yes, I am.  VICKI FRANCIS: Sorry to wake you.  SANDY HARRIS: No, it’s fine. What is it?  VICKI FRANCIS: We have a young woman here who says she was raped earlier tonight. Anyway, she’s looking for someone to talk to before she goes through a rape kit. SANDY HARRIS: Yes, yes. Of course.  VICKI FRANCIS: She also says she was pretty intoxicated the time it supposedly  happened. SANDY HARRIS: Supposedly?  VICKI FRANCIS: Well, she had a pretty high BAC when she came in.  SANDY HARRIS: So it’s possible she was given a lot of alcohol to drink or GBH,  maybe? VICKI FRANCIS: Given, drank herself, who knows? You know how those frat  parties can get, the good ones anyway.  SANDY HARRIS: The good ones, huh? Where can I meet her?  VICKI FRANCIS: She’s in a room at the ER. Just check in at the desk. I’ll tell  them you’re coming SANDY HARRIS: Great. Thank you. Goodbye. Wow.

Post an explanation of gender and sexist stereotypes and assumptions around sexual assault made by a professional you observe in the case study episode. Explain how these stereotypes perpetuate violence against women. Apply social work skills for social change advocacy to address sexism. Explain how social workers can respond to the stereotypes and assumptions you have identified in the Johnson case and how you might advocate for social change related to sexism while working with families, clients, and groups and collaborating with other professionals. Be specific about the skills you would apply and the actions you would take.

Need 2 responses to the below question”

Respond to at least two colleagues by providing additional or alternative ways to respond to the stereotypes and assumptions identified by your colleagues in the Johnson case. Provide additional or alternative ways social workers can address these assumptions and advocate for social change related to sexism while collaborating with other professionals to address the needs of clients.

1) You can write a research paper 8 – 10 pages in length. In class on 6/1 our NSA+D writing tutor Wendy will share a presentation that will clarify what a research paper is (a document that identifies a problem and suggests creative solutions/original thought) AND what it is not, which is a report restating the work of others. This option is to be done alone, not in a group setting
