1- In our video this week, Dr. Michael Rabow stated that we don’t think of spirituality as a medical intervention.  In fact, spirituality in the healthcare setting is a philosophical discourse about ultimate human concerns between friends, between people who care…not a technique between friends.
When you are dealing with patients who are not friendly and seemingly do not care how can you and do you let your spirituality show through?  How can you and do you infuse your wisdom into this ultimate philosophical discourse about ultimate human concerns without becoming cold and simply making your interaction a technique?

2-The nursing relationship:  How much of it is an I -it rather than an I-thou proposed by Buber.  Is it possible to sustain an I-thou relationship in your everyday responsibilities as a nurse?  Is it just as important to be in the I – it relationship?  Is it a matter of balance? What might that balance be?
You are the authors of this week’s discussion questions.  After reading I and Thou and watching the videos on Buber, you are to post a discussion question pertaining to some part of Buber’s philosophy and how it pertains to the nursing practice.
3-What was the main takeaway you received from watching the two videos?

Select one of the health care problems or issues presented in the Assessment 02 Supplement: Applying Research Skills [PDF] Download Assessment 02 Supplement: Applying Research Skills [PDF]resource. Write a brief overview of the selected health care problem or issue. In your overview:
Summarize the health care problem or issue.
Describe the professional relevance of this topic.
Describe any professional experience you have with this topic.
Identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to this health care issue or problem.
Conduct a search for scholarly or academic peer-reviewed literature related to the topic and describe the criteria you used to search for articles, including the names of the databases you used. You will select four current scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles published during the past 3–5 years that relate to your topic.

Analyze academic peer-reviewed journal articles using the annotated bibliography organizational format. Provide a rationale for inclusion of each selected article. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to document a list of references along with key information about each one. The detail about the reference is the annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge about the selected topic. In your annotated bibliography:
Identify the purpose of the article.
Summarize the information.
Provide rationale for inclusion of each article.
Include the conclusions and findings of the article.
Write your annotated bibliography in a paragraph form. The annotated bibliography should be approximately 150 words (1–3 paragraphs) in length.

Make sure the references are listed in alphabetical order, are double-spaced, and use hanging indents.
Summarize what you have learned while developing an annotated bibliography.
Summarize what you learned from your research in a separate paragraph or two at the end of the paper.
List the main points you learned from your research.
Summarize the main contributions of the sources you chose and how they enhanced your knowledge about the topic.

Your Field Essay will then combine certain elements of both the traditional White Paper and Ethnographic Map of Field Essay. It is meant to provide a thorough understanding of your field, examine the issues currently in the field, and explore the culture, sociology, and practices of the people involved in this field. This paper will view your field as its own culture–how do people behave in this field? What are the “cultural” expectations and adaptations? How does location or region affect these cultures? Examine how your field of study is developed into a means of study, while also being a collective group of people who engage and further the field.
