Nursing homes ethical and policy factors Introduction Nursing homes in the United States engulf different care facilities, which includes Administration on Aging (AoA), National Audiovisual Center (NAC), and the American Health Care Association, to mention a few. Running such community and support facilities is not always a walk in the park since they work under the policy and ethical instructions that attract public concerns. Nursing homes require financial support that of late has been relatively high, making them be policymakers center of discussion. Limitation of Medicaid financed by the federal government may see the nursing homes’ operations eligibility cut and termination of long-term care services. Other than the financial constraints, there are other policy factors and ethical concerns that affect nursing home operations and their care continuum. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 statutory requirement defines the quality assurance of nursing homes. For a facility to be approved as a Medicare and Medicaid nursing home provider, it must comply with 42 CFR Part 483, Subpart B, which entails residential rights, the physical environment, and quality of care standards. The…

How would you justify the observation that two different patients possessing the same mutation in the PAH enzyme may exhibit very different phenotypes concerning PA metabolism?             Phenyl hydrolase (PAH), operates as metabolism in the order of phenylalanine. Withal, it is constituted in the diet of another diverse acid, for instance, tyrosine.1 Withal, the substance can be useful to the body in the production of melanin pigment. This results in a condition referred to as Phenylketonuria (PUK). Furthermore, the consolidation of phenylalanine could probably cause brain damage.1 On the same note, Kaufman came up with a model that analyzes the significant negative effect of phenylalanine metabolism and compared it with the dietary intake. Hence, two patients could be sharing the same PAH mutation that shows diverse outcome on the grounds of clearing rate and consumption of the substance (phenylalanine). Nevertheless, PAH possesses pleiotropic effects. Hence, pleiotropic effects may generate unstoppable output effects in every individual. Also, heterozygosity and pleiotropism of the allele that mutated establish the PAH amount that is given out in every individual.1 How can you explain the…

Article Analysis Article 1: Motivation I agree with the point that intrinsic rewards are the most motivating. Intrinsic rewards are those that cannot be quantified and encompass factors such as having total control over one’s work, appreciation of work done, providing a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. I agree with this point because I believe that these intrinsic motivations are sustainable and can be maintained regardless of the current economic well-being of a company or organization (HBS Press 21). I also agree that preserving the dignity of subordinates is one of the most effective ways of fostering motivation. The point states that subordinates should be respected, and mangers should desist from treating subordinates like objects. I am therefore of a similar opinion that subordinates should be treated with utmost respect and dignity since they are the backbone of every organization or company. Without the subordinates, a company cannot perform well, and they are as important as the management (HBS Press 29). I, however, disagree with the point that managers should always hire self-motivating people. The point suggests that one way…

Substantive Response to the Discussion Question Inequality in healthcare, unfortunately, means people affected by diseases in developing countries do not have the means to protect themselves. Such instances represent the burden of global diseases and how people with minimal resources succumb to them. The ability to control infections is determined by the ability of a country in terms of resources and preparedness. Your article Ruben is well researched and informative. I agree with your assessment that its available resources determine the ability of a country to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. You provide a perfect example since the U.S. was able to control the spread of Ebola. The same disease had killed many people in Africa since many countries there lack the skills, workforce, and resources to contain infectious diseases. All in all, I could not agree more with you that new policies need to be formed to help developing countries control the burden of global diseases. You mentioned a very crucial aspect, which is the importance of delivering health services that are aligned with the 2020 healthy people…

The Whistleblower There are instances where an employee will choose to report actions that threaten their life as well as that of other employees. In this case, the employee will alert the society about the potential danger of continuing a specific service or action highlighting the potential risks. There are arguments whether whistleblowing is ethical from both managerial and personal perspectives considering the effect it has on an organization. Brief Overview of Case Two decorated pilots who fly the F-22 military jet decided to speak about the dangers they experienced in the air. These military whistleblowers were protected by the U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger. The pilots claimed that they did not have enough oxygen while flying and experienced severe disorientation leading to hypoxia. Barriers and solutions to Whistleblowing Whistleblowing from a managerial perspective includes the reporting of miscellaneous activity of an organization that puts employees’ lives in danger. Barriers to whistleblowing from a managerial perspective include a lack of trust in the internal system, fear of retaliation, and fear of alienation. To overcome these barriers, leaders of the military base,…

The Elephant in the Room Post-its (Notes: The elephant in the room) On a dimly light stage, there sits a table and two chairs opposite to each other. On the table, there is a newspaper and two balls of knitting thread in a shallow basket and what seems to be some knitting work in progress. There is also a glass jug of water and two glasses. The flickering light above the stage comes to life, increasing its brightness gradually. A man and a woman (husband and wife) approach the stage from both sides and have a seat at the table. Actor: (staring at his wife whose head is buried in her hands deep in thought) so, are we going to talk about this or not? I am worried about the fact that it doesn’t seem to bother you at all. Actress: how many times do I have to tell you that nothing is going on between Joe and me? He is just a work colleague and nothing more than that (clicks and shakes her head angrily) Actor: (sarcastically), oh? (Next…

The Lifespan Theory in Nursing From a practical point of approach, it has been identified that nurses interact with individuals as well as patients at every point in their lives. Either in the administration of diagnostic care as well as patient-centered care, nurses have been observed to play a critical role in the healthcare setting. However, this has commonly been viewed from a cross-sectional as well as a process-oriented approach that has not attributed the nursing profession with the exact acknowledgment for the role that the group lays in the therapeutic health administration process. The life course health development theory, i.e., (LCHD) is a nursing theory that tries to look into the role that the nurses play in the healthy aspects of the life of an individual. The LCHD development theory focuses on the broader perspective of the life development process from pre-conception all the way through adulthood and into late adulthood. The life course health development theory got introduced for scholarly review by physician David Barker and sociologist Glen Elder, Jr. Barker’s who observed that low birth weight often…

Outsider Experience At one point or another, one feels to be incomplete or out of place at different times or locations. Thus, the idea makes one have a feeling of either staying away from others and workmates or in the environment he or she is. The feeling is often known as the outsider feeling. An outsider is someone who doesn’t fit in, and in most circumstances, they stay far away from the group he/ she is working with or assigned to work with at a given point in time. The feeling that accompanies the individual seeing himself or herself as an outsider is the outsider feeling idea. An outsider has a hard time with what they are working with, and most often, everything seems to be chaotic and out of order. In the health sector, new interns and workers mostly feel out of place in their sites and in handling patients, for instance, if they don’t have enough experience in the field. For the outsider, everything feels awkward in the sector and on the other hand, to the insider who…
