Today’s health care environment gives nurses many reasons to be conflicted. Genetic testing, abortion, and end of life care are just some of the areas in which nurses may face ethical dilemmas. Consider how you feel about the following issues:

 

· Respecting the wishes of a suffering client that he is permitted to die with dignity,

· Respecting the health surrogate’s wishes regarding termination of life support,

· Or even observing another nurse take two tablets of oxycodone as ordered but keeping one for herself.

 

Then give an example of an ethical dilemma you may have confronted in your own clinical experience or workplace. How did you come to the decision you made? What feelings did you experience while coming to that choice? (If you have not yet faced an ethical dilemma, research one and comment on it, answering the same questions.)

Reasons why nurses may be conflicted

 

Please make an initial post by midweek, and respond to at least two other students’ posts with substantial details that demonstrate an understanding of the concepts, and critical thinking. Remember that your posts must exhibit appropriate writing mechanics including using proper language, cordiality, and proper grammar and punctuation. If you refer to any outside sources or reference materials be sure to provide proper attribution and/or citation.

Biology Pathology of Vitiligo

Topic is Pathology of Vitiligo. The major body system that must be discussed is the Integumentary system, specifically the skin.

Length: Between 4-6 full pages of content, double-spaced –
Title page and the Reference page (both on separate pages) do NOT contribute to page count.

Use of images/tables/diagrams will not count for total page number either.

APA 7 – REFERENCES MUST BE USED W/ IN TEXT CITATION.

RUBRIC FOCUSES ON SCIENTIFIC VOCAB BEING USED THROUGHOUT ASSIGNMENT

Biology Pathology of Vitiligo

Description of Pathology

  • In this section, you will describe the pathology (statistics about it, background information, etc.). Give as much information as you can about it but be sure it is relevant information and not just filler. It should be a comprehensive introductory section of the condition in one to two paragraphs.

Normal anatomy of the major body system affected: In this section, you will describe what is considered normal anatomy for your particular pathophysiology. For example, if you are discussing a disease related to the brain, explain what is normal for the brain from an anatomical standpoint. You should show comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental concepts and communicate information using scientific vocabulary. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section.

Normal physiology of the major body system affected: In this section, you will be discussing physiology. Keep in mind that when describing physiology, it isn’t enough to merely provide a list of functions of the body system (Ex: Neurons send signals throughout the body), instead, you need to be able to describe how it does it. The show is the physiology. There should be little to no discussion of the condition itself in this section

Biology Pathology of Vitiligo

Mechanism of Pathophysiology: This section is likely going to be the most in-depth and longest section. In this section, you will explain your particular pathophysiology from a scientific standpoint. In the previous two sections, you explained what is considered normal, in this section, you should describe what the pathophysiology is doing that is causing these issues, how the normal anatomy & physiology is affected/different in a person with your condition. You should show a thorough understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes contributing to the disease. Some good keywords to search for when doing your research might be “Pathology of __________”, Pathophysiology of __________.”

Prevention: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology could be prevented. This should outline possible prevention protocols, or clearly indicate if none is available based on the current scientific literature.

Treatment: In this section, you will explain how your pathophysiology is commonly treated. Provide possible treatment protocols for the condition based on current scientific literature. Be sure to bring in nursing relevant information and how you might be involved in the treatment of the condition.

Conclusion: Finally, you should summarize your findings. All good research papers should include a conclusion where you wrap up and summarize all of the important points made in your paper.

Biology Pathology of Vitiligo

References:

  • As with the Title page, this should be a separate page by itself.
  • All references should be included in correct and complete APA format.
  • All references must be cited appropriately in the paper using APA-style in-text citations.
  • A minimum of three reputable sources are required for this assignment.
  • Mechanisms of pathophysiology should be your longest and most detailed section. It should be the nuts and bolts of the paper. The second longest sections should be the normal anatomy and then the normal physiology.  Put the most time into these three sections! Each one of these should be at least 2/3’s of a page.
    Use APA referencing style.
