Case Study: A 25-year-old presented to the labor and delivery unit with complaints of uterine cramping and lower back pain. The client denied any vaginal bleeding and had a history of preterm birth at 32 weeks (about 7 and a half months) gestation with her last pregnancy. The baby from that pregnancy is three years old has no developmental issues. The client’s gestational age is 30 weeks (about 7 months). She is O+, and all other lab values are normal. No evidence of sexually transmitted infections (STI’s).

(Group Beta Strep is missing from the labs and most often is obtained at 35 – 37 weeks (about 8 and a half months) gestation. Without this information, it is often determined to treat the patient anyway, to protect a premature baby from the risk.)

  • What additional information should the nurse obtain from the client?
  • What nursing intervention is most appropriate in this situation?
  • What screening tests should be obtained to determine the risk for preterm labor?
  • If the client is in preterm labor, what medications would the nurse expect to be ordered, and what are the priorities for the nurse to assess post-administration? (Include dose, side effects and expected outcomes of the medication).

Your Executive Brief will demonstrate your leadership in initiating a quality improvement plan. Your Brief will contain a scorecard featuring the four key areas of organizational performance into which you have assigned the six Quality Aims into one of the four key areas. Your scorecard is available for download in your Weekly Resources.

In your written Executive Brief, be sure to address the following:

 Provide an overview of the value of using scorecards in assessing organizational performance. Be sure to cite your references.

 Insert your completed scorecard that contains the six (6) quality aims.

 Indicate how you propose to measure future performance for each of the 6 quality aims.

 “Stem cells are undifferentiated, primitive cells with the ability both to multiply and to differentiate into specific kinds of cells. Stem cells hold the promise of allowing researchers to grow specialized cells or tissue, which could be used to treat injuries or disease (e.g., spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes, strokes, burns).” (Slevin, 2010) 

 Choose ONE of the following issues and post to its thread with supporting evidence. 

1) Discuss what you feel are the potential benefits of stem cell research for Alzheimer’s patients and their families.

2) Share your perspective on the stem cell debate regarding the donation of surplus embryos to couples for “embryo adoption.”

3) Why is the task of disposing of unused frozen human embryos different from disposing of other medical tissue?

4) Discuss why you think embryonic stem cell research “crosses a moral boundary.”

5) Please cite the textbook and any other source used in APA format.

moral and ethical dialog

/in /by

It is challenging to engage in meaningful discussions with patients when moral and ethical dilemmas present themselves.

How we engage with our patients can have a profound impact on the care they receive and the decisions they make.

The following exercise will present you with moral and ethical dilemmas common to many clinical practices.  The moral and ethical challenges here are often ones the practitioner will have strong, personal feelings about.

Your task in this exercise is to serve as the practitioner advocate for the patient by engaging in dialog that does not project personal bias or prejudice while also providing the patient with the medical information needed to make an informed, personal decision.  As you choose your responses, try to use one of the ethical decision-making models we’ve explored to systematically evaluate each dilemma and choose the best way to engage the patient in dialog.

The following questions refer to your experience in this week’s exercise, Conducting Moral and Ethical Dialog in Clinical Practice. Describe your overall experience with the moral and ethical dialog exercise, and address at least three (3) of the following:

  • Did you find any of the scenarios more difficult to deal with than others? 
  • Did you feel any internal conflict with any of the scenarios? 
  • How did your personal and professional background impact how you decided to interact with the patient? 
  • Do you feel the responses the patient gave to the practitioner’s response were reasonable or typical? 
  • Were you taken aback by any of the patient reactions? 
  • How might this activity contribute to your role as a nurse advocate in a moral and ethical practice? 
  • Did you utilize an ethical decision making model to explore a systematic way to evaluate any of these ethical dilemmas? If so, describe the effectiveness.
