Describe why you have selected nursing as a career. How do your personal nursing career goals align with the school Mission and Values?
My answer- I was born and partly raised in west Africa Liberia. When the war started my family fled to the US in hopes for a better life. As a young woman I have always aspired to be in a position to help and care for people which lead my passion more towards a career in the medical field. I have been in the health field for many years. During High school I had my mind set on pursuing a career in medicine, but tragedy strike our family when my father the sole braid winner of our family was brutally murder Infront of me at the tender age of 16 years old in our family business. This set me on a path of confusion, hurt and brokenness for about 10 years. I couldn’t understand why another human could want to take an honest, good and hardworking family man’s life. While dealing with that I some how found myself in an abusive relationship at a young age but as God could have it I some up the courage to walk away from that relationship without being badly harm. Now that my father was no more I had to step up as the oldest child to help my mom care for my youngest sibling this lead me to working multiple jobs and doing my best to help be there for my family. I some how put my dreams aside taking parttime classes but barely making it through as I had so many other things impacting me at home. My mother is such an amazing woman to rise and stay strong for her family. She is part of the reason I’m still standing. A strong advocate for education and an amazing mother and friend to her kids. She really stood strong worked hard and provided for her children. As I got older, I made the decision to focus on my dreams and pursue my passion for medicine. I am more focus now, happily married with two beautiful stepchildren. With the strong support of my husband, I was encouraged to further my studies in nursing. The school mission and values align with mine because the school educate women to lead and influence. The school educate at all degree levels through valuing and integrating the liberal arts and professional education within the Catholic intellectual tradition, emphasizing scholarly inquiry and social justice teaching as lived by the Sisters of Saint schools. The welcome a rich diversity of students, with a baccalaureate college for women at the heart of the University and graduate and adult colleges for women and men. Committed to excellence and opportunity, the school develops leaders who act with integrity. I hope to be a managing director of the hospital I work at now one day and also travel back to Liberia to establish a small orphanage for kids who are in need of a safe place.

This week, you will present and defend your assigned stance (pro or con) and specific medication for your patient case study scenario with your peers. Within the debate, you will also share your perspective on why the alternative medication class would not be appropriate for the patient case scenario. Support your answers with evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly literature. Note: APA style format with citations and references will apply. As a reminder, these were the assigned medications: Pro Medication: Non-stimulant ( argue pro non-stimulant, the alternative is con non-stimulant) Scenario: Patient 2: Jessica is a 32-year-old female that was recently diagnosed with ADHD. She was referred to your office by the psychologist that completed the ADHD assessment. Jessica has always struggled in school and jobs. She is often “written up” at her job for not completing tasks that are assigned to her. She becomes easily distracted by her other co-workers. She finds herself spending a lot of time conversing with colleagues. Her colleagues are frequently annoyed with her for constantly talking to them and interrupting their work and tasks. Jessica is here to discuss medication options to treat ADHD. Below you will find your assigned Pro/Con stance, plus patient case for the Week-6 Discussion-Board Post. The core elements of your initial-post should contain the following: What is the proposed mechanism of action of the medication(s) – why might this be appropriate for the patient? What are the advantages or disadvantages to your class of medications? What are the advantages or disadvantages to other classes of medications? What possible side-effects or considerations need to be evaluated? Provide one example for each consideration: Legal Ethical Social implication Your response needs to be supported by three scholarly peer-reviewed resources

Overview The final case study for this course will require you to analyze a court decision in which a hospital was found vicariously liable on a theory of apparent authority for professional malpractice in the form of negligence of an independent contractor. You will focus on facts pertaining to the medical standard of care, breach of care, and causation, and you will explain how they were applied to law. You will then use the facts of the case to identify an ethics issue and determine an ethical theory that would help provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient. Next, you will apply a clinician–patient shared decision-making model to describe how the ethics issue could be resolved. You will also include a discussion about possible violations of the code of ethics in your given field. Lastly, you will augment or vary the facts of the case to create a hypothetical scenario that changes the outcome so that the hospital is no longer vicariously liable for professional malpractice in the form of negligence of an independent contractor. Prompt In this project, you will continue to analyze the Popovich v. Allina Health System court case involving professional malpractice. For this milestone, you will use the facts from the case to identify an ethics issue, determine an ethical theory that would help provide a safe and quality healthcare experience for the patient, and apply a clinician–patient shared decision-making model. Ethical Component: In this section, you will evaluate the case to identify the specific ethical issues and determine ethical theories and shared decision- making models that would help resolve the issue and provide a safe, quality healthcare experience. Then, you will propose and defend ethical guidelines for healthcare providers to follow in order to avoid future incidents. Describe the ethical issues that led to the malpractice case and explain why the issues are credited with causing the incident. Support your response with research and relevant examples from the case. Describe an ethical theory that would help resolve the issue and provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient. Support your response with research and relevant examples from the case. Select a physician–patient shared decision-making model and explain how it would provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient. Propose ethical guidelines that would have helped prevent the incident and would help the organization prevent future incidents. Defend how your proposed ethical guidelines will hold healthcare providers accountable to themselves, their profession, their patients, and the public. What to Submit Your paper should be a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, one-inch margins, and at least three sources cited in the most recent APA format. All references should be formatted according to the most recent APA guidelines.

Patient 1: Malcolm is a 9-year-old male in the 4th grade at the public elementary school. Malcolm has recently been diagnosed with ADHD, combined presentation. Malcolm struggles with being fidgety and hyperactive; he often gets into trouble at school for blurting out answers, getting out of his desk when he should not be, and hitting other children when upset. Malcolm also has a hard time focusing on anything other than video games at home. His parents report homework takes “all night” though it should only take 30 minutes. Malcolm has assigned chores but often gets distracted. For example, Malcolm was to take out the trash but got distracted in the driveway while taking out the trash and left the full bag in the driveway. He often misplaces the combination code for the lock on the house door. Patient 2: Jessica is a 32-year-old female that was recently diagnosed with ADHD. She was referred to your office by the psychologist that completed the ADHD assessment. Jessica has always struggled in school and jobs. She is often “written up” at her job for not completing tasks that are assigned to her. She becomes easily distracted by her other co-workers. She finds herself spending a lot of time conversing with colleagues. Her colleagues are frequently annoyed with her for constantly talking to them and interrupting their work and tasks.
