Client Questions

For this critical thinking assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation. Choose three different cities within the KSA. Choose a city of large, medium and small population. Research the population census (age, gender, etc.) and income statistics of each city. Next investigate the health status statistics of the city’s population (% of chronic disease) and provide data on the available healthcare services/settings in each city.  Analyze and interpret your findings on the impact of income, health outcomes, and distribution of healthcare services. Your submission should meet the following structural requirements: Develop a PowerPoint presentation that include all elements detailed above (professional design). Include 2 presentation slides per city, for 6 slides and a total of 8 minimum slides (Add introduction and conclusion slides). Include detailed presentation notes for each slide (minimum 100 words). Include title and reference slides with your presentation. Include 4 – 5 academic and/or government sources to support your analysis and discussion. Use available cited tables or figures to support and present your data findings. Conform to  APA writing standards; be sure to cite any statistics or other information, as appropriate. Add cited images to the presentation and then add the references of those images in the references slide. No plagiarism. References not less than 5 years back.

Reply1 Ethical dilemma is a decision-making problem between two possible moral imperatives,neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable .One action must be chosen, thereby generating a quandary for the person or group who is burdened with the choice. Example,the ethical dilemma which was encountered is in line of patient autonomy.The patient relatives were refusing to have blood transfusion for their child post operatively, despite the possible consequences ,but blood transfusion was necessary for saving the life of the child.With their refusal almost they created the end of life issue situation.  In the above scenario the other nurse was trying to leave the case by mentioning that patient and relatives are not willing  and are not consenting for blood transfusion.  I was not against the patient autonomy,but  my intention was to save the life of the child by explaining the consequences of refusal of blood transfusion.At last, they understood the importance of it ,they have been convinced for the blood transfusion and the child was out of danger. Reply2 Nurses face variety of ethical issues while dealing with patients, colleagues, or other health care personnel. Nurses, as a human being, differ from one another and possess their own intellectual and moral values. The ethical dilemmas vary in different situations depending upon the way we address it. Some nurses deal with the situation easily while it would create a dilemma for others. One of the examples of an ethical dilemma that can occur in our nursing practice is when nurses themselves are not properly equipped to complete their duties like nurses who notice their coworker’s lack of knowledge face an ethical dilemma of whether they should bring the issue to their nurse manager (Duquesne University, n.d.).  For some nurses, it would not be a problem and whistle blow right away, whereas, for other, it would be dilemma between patient care and the loyalty to colleagues and employer. One of my colleagues had a patient who had Ventricular Tachycardia then CODED at the beginning of the shift soon after taking the report. It was found that patient’s potassium and magnesium level been low for the last 12hrs and EKG showing frequent PVCs which was not addressed. The patient was on Lasix injection and the potassium level was not monitored. In my opinion, it happened because of a delay in patent management due to incompetency. My colleague had a dilemma about whether to report it or not because the nurse who gave a report to her was her best friend.  Personally, when I notice the incompetency among peers, I critically analyze the situation and if it is a threat to patient safety, I would report because as per the code of ethics as a patient advocator we are obliged to take action when a patient’s right or safety is endangered (Mansbach.,Kushnir., Ziedenberg., & Bachner, 2014). If it is something, we can help our colleague improve incompetency, I privately talk and advice the best way so that the nurse’s license as well as patient’s safety would not be affected.  In that case, I talked to and assessed the knowledge of the nurse who gave the report. She said that she was not so confident to analyze the EKG rhythms and not aware of the protocols of managing patients on Lasix. So, I brought this issue and requested the management for the Inservice education which keeps us up to date in knowledge and skill helping to manage promptly and prevent from reoccurrence of the situation.

To Prepare: Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources. Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap. Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

Discussion Question: Consider your learning in the course. How have you met the course objectives listed in the syllabus? Has the material in the course changed your professional practice?

Assume your nursing leader has decided that the department needs to better incorporate these Standards of Practice for Culturally Competent Nursing Care into the nursing care delivery model at your organization. There are 12 Standards. Download and read the Executive Summary, and select one of the 12 standards as the basis for the discussion. Think about the standards as they relate to culturally sensitive care. Explain how your department or organization currently gives credence to this standard. If it does not, from your newfound knowledge, offer suggestions of how the standard can be incorporated into patient care in your department or organization.

Assessing Website For Credibility And ReliabilityPerform an Internet search for 2 medical web sites resources – try to stay away from database searches if possible but 1 or your 2 searches may be a database search if you wish but it should be one that a patient is able to access on the Internet.You can start by choosing a topic (ie. aortic valve disease), and narrow your focus using the Limits option.Be sure to include the topic you chose and the process you used (describe your limits and the number of “hits”), and the final number your search resulted in.Choose 2 sites to evaluate.Use the above criteria to evaluate the sites For reliability and credibility.Identify the reason you choose the 2 sites and if you would recommen
