Rates of motor vehicle fatality and homicide peak during young adulthood, as do mental health problems, substance abuse, unintentional pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections. Describe how the advanced practice nurse can play a role in improving the health of young adults through preventive screening and intervention.

Legal and Ethical Issues Assignment

By Assignment Expert Blog

Legal and Ethical Issues Assignment

While you do have to share an article, I want this discussion to be relevant to the creation of your courses and that of your peers. Research articles are of no value if they don’t have a practical application.

There are many ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of technology in an educational setting. This week, you will discuss some of these issues and consider how they might impact the development of your online course. Find a recent article in a peer-reviewed nursing or educational journal that discusses potential legal and ethical issues relevant to the use of technology in nursing education (focus on education, not practice).

In one paragraph, describe a few highlights of the article, focusing on the most relevant information for you and your classmates to consider as you create your online courses.
Provide at least two ways that you will incorporate this information into your course design/content in a practical way. Be specific.

Complete Parts 1 and 2 of this form including references. Submit the completed form for your assignment.

Step 4: Determine Risk Level / Intervention
