...The topic that I am about to introduce is a health care and legal topic for hospitals / health organizations all around the globe. It is a current controversy that involves many people, especially if you are a patient or doctor at a hospital. The main topic I am talking about is, DNAR(Do Not Attempt Resuscitation) forms and how they help develop legal problems by; communication between patient and doctor, medical professionals not being able to do everything possible for a patient and to follow the patient’s wishes. The controversy is important because sometimes in medical cases there is a mistake in the communication process or someone does not follow the patient’s wishes. This can lead to many problems for medical professionals like being sued for following a DNAR order or family members being upset because this is not what they wanted to happen for the patient. Whatever the problem...

...Introduction of New Procedures A doctor asked me to come up with a procedure for the assessment and treatment of “Sleep Apnea in Adults”. There is wide variety of factors that I would have to consider in an attempt to write up and apply a new protocol or procedure: 1. Would this be within my scope of nursing? There are many resources to find information on my standards of practice. These resources include a variety of nursing organizations (including statewide, national and international), education institutions (including community colleges and universities), and my state’s Board of Nursing. Basically, I would ask myself if I have had the education, skills, and experience to properly assess and treat adults with Sleep Apnea. 2. How simple or complex should this procedure be? Will it be a simple questionnaire with a list of simple explanations of the treatments that I could give to my patients and let them fill (it) out or will it be a tool to be used by other medical professionals? This will determine how much and how thorough my research will be. Will I do comparative studies on other researcher’s work and studies, on the detection (screening with questionnaires and/or tools and procedures for diagnosing), and treatments (weight-loss programs, CPAP, MAD, surgery, etc…). Should I do studies of patient outcomes (short-term and/or long-term)? There is an abundance of educational resources to use for research. 3. How will I format it? Will it be something that I will want...

...to investigate a new procedure that physicians would like nurses to adopt in the hospital. Discuss the process you would apply to determine whether the procedure falls within the RN scope of practice and how you would go about introducing the new procedure with physicians and fellow nurses First, I would inform my direct supervisor about the request from the physician to implement a new procedure. If the request is approved by the nursing supervisor, I would further investigate the procedure in which the physician wants the nurses to adopt in the hospital, as it is imperative to determine whether the procedure is within the nursing scope of practice before deciding to adopt or implement it. I would do this by referring to my state board of nursing decision making flow chart. | 1. Is the function commonly recognized as nursing practice? NO YES ⇒ S.P. not required ⇓ | 2. Is it the standard of practice in the community that RNs perform this function in the clinical area for which it is being considered? NO YES ⇒ S.P. not required ⇓ | 3. Does the function require the nurse to: Diagnose disease, Prescribe medicine or treatment, or Penetrate or sever tissue? NO YES ⇒ S.P. required ⇓ | 4.

These customizations allow players to choose certain traits and create their ideal character with a desired physical appearance. But in few generations, this could happen in a fertility clinic, where young couples, future parents, are given the choice to tailor their babies from physical attributes to intelligence or athletic ability. A new genetic modification method enables researchers and doctors to modify DNA in order to change certain traits of the embryo; without doubts, there are many controversies over the ethnic of such technology, thus creating the term “designer...

...The medical liability system needs reform to promote better patient safety and lower health care costs. In this paper I plan to show different types of reform that are needed in the medical liability system and how those changes will impact patient safety and cost. Also discussed will be the governments backing (or not) of medical liability reform. The current medical liability system was designed to provide monetary compensation to patients who suffer injury due to medical negligence. The system also works to reduce the chances of future patients being harmed by preventable medical errors. However, most individuals in the healthcare industry do not believe it accomplishes any of these goals. The biggest issues, as reported by critics of the system, are the cost and access of liability coverage, impact on patients’ safety, and the administrative costs of lawsuits. To address the shortcomings of the system, some reform has been introduced to modify the current tort system. Included in these reforms are Full disclosure/early offer programs, Certificates of merit programs, Caps on damage awards, periodic interim payment rules, joint and several liability reform, collateral source rule reform, screening panels and health courts. All of these programs are designed to lower the costs of Medical Liability insurance for the health care provider as well as addressing the safety of patients in various ways. They also give both the patient and the health care provider peace of mind because...

...He believes that many women in New Brunswick would prefer to have the procedure in a more private space than a hospital due to the social stigma and ostracism. He states that, “There can be repercussion for families, relationships, even jobs. Many women travel to Maine in order to protect their privacy. I don’t know why the government isn’t listening to women on this, people want to have the procedure in an anonymous way, they don’t want to go to the hospital. It’s a small province. You go to the hospital and everyone knows, and everyone talks … and it’s on your medical record.” (Renzetti, 2015) The negative connotations and social stigma surrounding abortion can definitely bring stress and pressure upon women. Women who grew up in a restricted, and conservative culture can easily be ostracized by their community and family members, and not being able to access abortion within a private space can be aggravating. Some of these reserved cultures may disapprove of women having children before marriage. And not being able to provide privacy for...

I would start by introduce live procedures in explaining what is being done as the new equipment is demonstrating the procedure. As this healthcare marketing approach can effectively create excitement and raise public awareness for the healthcare organization. While most media is being done through social media networks; this will help reach more of the public to understand your organization and the changes you are doing. Setting up a site for live questions to be asked to insure the public is receiving the correct information to questions that they might want to ask. As for the staff; setting up training sessions will help with the training and being successful when the training is completed. Healthcare technology is developing rapidly; unfortunately, problems with equipment often arise due to mishandling by users or a failure to understand fully how the equipment works (Hounsell, 2014). In order to be able to use and maintain the equipment effectively, training must be seriously addressed; Specific training on equipment operation for medical and support staff. With the staff being trained properly they will be able to perform the procedures and answer questions from patients that might occur. How to integrate teams, planning, and training...
