Addressing Ethical Conflict in Healthcare Healthcare providers get faced with ethical dilemmas in their respective practice settings. In the nursing profession, for instance, there arise many circumstances that prompt nurses to resort to nursing ethics to resolve the ethical conflicts they face in various healthcare departments (Wood, n.d.). This article entirely focusses on a case study presenting with a moral conflict a nurse practitioner faced while at work. Aspects of this case study will call for conducting an overview reviewing of the relevant ethical principles – non-maleficence and fidelity. In this paper, there is also a highlight of the risks involved for not reporting the incident, the proposed leadership approach to deal with the issue, and possible approaches to improve making the best of the situation. Nonmaleficence refers to the duty of a healthcare provider to cause no harm to others (Habib, 2019). In this case, the physician breached the ethical principle since he lied and left the nurse alone, thus putting the patients at risk to harm at the ED because no physician was left among the staff to…
SITTING IS THE NEW SMOKING HABIT The human body system is a resemblance of a machine, and throughout, it’s made to move. Research shows that sitting for long hours increases the likelihood of suffering from common chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and early death. In the current era, many professions involve sitting in front of a computer from morning to evening, from where they go and sleep. At home, we tent to play games, chat, and watch television. Truth be told that sitting for long hours is as dangerous as smoking. The question is how to avoid sitting for long and be active. Here is a clue about how to go about it. How to break dangerous sitting habits Walk during breaks Time is precious, but you don’t have to exchange your life with it. Sitting in front of your computer the whole day, take time to stretch up. Walk around and great your colleagues. Don’t be too bossy that everything has to be done for you. Dress for activity From my observation, many people tend to sit…
Interviewing Children It is worth indicating that the process engaged for children to expound on something they observe towards the interviewer is presented in a dynamic manner. Therefore, it can be developed that experiments indicating children’s experimental designs used to discover the ability to transmit the information given by the children. Therefore, the interviewer initiated in drawing the geometrical shapes. The instincts developed by children through the drawing designs of the shaped revealed diverse thoughts of the drawings (Poole, 2016). It is indicated interviewing of children reveals on the degree and capacity to expound on something they have heard or seen. The child and the interviewer are brought to have a specific relationship, especially in the process of getting information from them. The target experience is likely to have diverse changes and effects on the individuals as they develop information and communicate it to be transcribed. Cooperative behavior reveals the tendency of the children to respond to questions. In the dynamics of interviewing, it is worth associating children with the capacity to answer every question that is asked in the…
A lab report on Habituation in C. Elegans Nonassociative learning, which we employed, was advantageous to us since it can be just observed many animals across, it also requires less effort to implement since it automatically verifies the sensory input without the involvement of a supervisory signal. Nonassociative learning works in a way that students get to study the process to the point of obtaining results that will help in creating a formula for studying other organisms. These studies may lead to getting a new way of learning algorithms. Caenorhabditis Elegans is a nematode member of the family nematode. It is commonly used to study with its importance being highly versatile with its studies involved in radiobiology, genetics, development, aging, and muscle physiology. Its study helps to understand human physiology and medicine in general. A behavior C. Elegans has a short term associative memory, which is one that was used to study. There cannot be any other reason aside from learning and mind memory of the behavior of C Elegans. We see how genes can be altered to show…
The Power of Habit review The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg extensively elaborates on what causes the development of habits in humans. Duhigg, in the book, further explains the processes that are involved in converting a simple action into a frequent thing that becomes difficult to quit (Duhigg). Specifically, the book focuses on the development of gambling addiction, a process that he explains most people indulge in it involuntarily. According to Duhigg, gambling habit is adopted without the knowhow of the individual and eventually becomes a neurological issue that is difficult to overcome. However, further evidence from the book indicates that the addict, Angie Bachmann, is conscious concerning the addiction and understands the repercussions of engaging in the process. Angie Bachmann is fully responsible for her ultimate fall into debts as a result of indulgence in gambling. While various external factors play a significant role in putting Angie Bachmann into addiction, they are insufficient to exempt her from the indulgence. Analyzing the multiple reasons that support the argument that Angie Bachmann is guilty of her indulgences will open up…
Coyote Valley Early Settlement. Thomas G. Andrew begins by saying that no one really knows when and how humans started inhabiting the Coyote valley. Studying archaeological structures and ecological evidence is the only way to tell when the Valley was inhabited. This evidence say that the first people started life there at about 13,000 years ago. The coyote valley being a mountainous region, posed difficulty to those who settled there for it required them to be well suited and ready to adapt for them to be able to settle there. The early settlement of people began in a time that archaeologists call the Clovis period. This is a time that was marked by increase temperature that caused the glaciers in the area to melt, exposing some land. Many animals went ahead to colonize the newly exposed land as well as animals. The first people followed thereafter in groups of about fifty or less people. All the artifacts that have been collected about this people show that the Clovis people moved seasonally into the Colorado River from the winter camps…
Effects of Global Warming in the Ocean Institution Name Author Note Effects of Global Warming in the Ocean Introduction According to a myriad of studies carried out regarding the adverse changes in climate, global warming has been revealed as an extenuating effect that is slowly damaging the global environment daily. With the inimical forces it has on marine life, these ecosystems have been deemed endangered (Archer, Brodie & Rauscher, 2019). According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment reports, the extent of the damaging impact of global warming is increasing per decade despite the several measures adopted by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Besides that, global warming has resulted in the ocean warming effect, which has adversely affected aquatic life and their respective habitats (Bryndum‐Buchholz et al., 2019). Thesis: Global warming has significantly affected warmer ocean temperatures, rising sea levels, and marine life. Warmer Ocean Temperatures Laffoley & Baxter (2016) note that a consensus of many studies reveals an increase in the ocean heat content that…
Is Cohabitation the Replacement for Marriage? Cohabitation or marriage? This is a dilemma facing many couples today. And it seems like cohabitation may be winning. In the last 60 years, American families have demonstrated what researchers call a “retreat from marriage” (Lundberg, Pollak & Stearns, 2016). The decline in marriage has coincided with a rise in cohabitation. An increase in divorce and cohabitation have been identified as some of the most prominent behavioral changes in families over the past decades (Perelli‐Harris et al., 2017). These two behaviors have profoundly altered the institution of marriage. What was once a lifelong commitment has become something that can be potentially dissolved. And certain aspects of intimate relationships that were confined to marriage now take place outside of marriage. So, is cohabitation a replacement for marriage? This depends on an individual‘s perception of the institution of marriage. For some, cohabitating partnerships function as a transition into eventual marriage. They present an opportunity to learn more about their partners in order to decide if marriage is a viable option. For others, cohabitation is an alternative…
Cost of healthcare in the United States The US has one of the best healthcare systems among many developed nations. However, the cost of healthcare in the US is equally quite high. Dieleman et al. (2020) argue that healthcare spending in the US is continually increasing over the years. Today, such expenses constitute up to 18% of the US economy. The United States spends significantly more money per person on healthcare compared to similar industrialized nations. These expenses are both in terms of surgery costs and hospital operations costs. As a result, such payments translate into an overall costly healthcare system. Research Method and Design Appropriateness Observations, interviews, experiments, and archival studies are among the common examples of research methods. Each of these is used in different instances, depending on the nature and purpose of research (Jacobsen, 2020). For example, qualitative research deals with non-numeric data. This type of research is useful in understanding concepts and gathering in-depth insights. Quantitative methods explore numerical and statistical data. It is helpful in testing or confirming theories and establishing facts about given…
