Scenario for Assignment:
AC is a 72-year-old male who is admitted to your ICU after suffering a massive stroke that has left him unresponsive and unable to communicate. He is currently on a ventilator. His wife of 48 years is available along with their one adult daughter. The wife informs you that they don’t have any advanced directives, but she is “pretty sure her husband would not want to live like this.” However, their daughter is adamant her dad would want to be kept alive in case there is any chance to come out of this.
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses ALL of the following:
Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario you selected on all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.
Describe strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure as identified in the scenario you selected. Be sure to reference laws specific to your state.
Explain two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your decision-making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose your error. Be sure to justify your explanation. The case does not present a specific medication error but an ethical dilemma; please include a detailed explanation of two strategies that you would use as an advanced practice nurse to guide your decision-making in this scenario. How would you handle this ethical dilemma? Be sure to justify your explanation.
Explain the process of writing prescriptions, including strategies to minimize medication errors
WRITING STYLE AND FORMAT
Please write the assignment in APA format
Use subheadings to indicate which part of the Question is being answered.
Include an introduction (with the thesis statement and the purpose of the paper), plus a conclusion.
Make sure to use a minimum of five current (less than 5 years old) resources: at least 3 from the school materials and 2 from outside.
APA style headings are to be used appropriately to separate and organize sections of the paper.
Direct quotes are discouraged and should only be used when the source material uses particularly striking or notable language.
The introduction should provide an overview of the topic, the purpose of the paper, and the topics that will be addressed.
The body of the paper needs to address all required topics.
The conclusion should provide closure for the reader, synthesize the content, and tie everything together to help clarify the paper’s main points.
The reference page should include all references cited in the assignment in the correct APA format.
Some course assignments may require the use of more than two credible outside resources.
Credible sources include scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles, evidence-based resources, and professional (.org), educational (.edu), and government websites (.gov). Assignments and discussion SHOULD NOT only include patient-facing websites (for example, CDC, MayoClinic, Statpearls, MERCK, etc.). Commercial websites (.com) are not considered credible sources. Please note: When selecting articles for course assignments, you are advised (unless you are referencing seminal information) to focus on work published within the past five years.
