Read the case, “Criminal Informants and the Prisoner’s Dilemma” (Box 6.2, pg. 105). Answer the questions and provide your reasoning.

To the best of your ability, indicate which of Kohlberg’s stages of moral development might best explain the moral reasoning involved in:
Executing convicted murders to serve vengeance
Executing convicted murders to protect the public from further harm.

To the best of your ability, indicate how the ethical dilemma of Speeding versus not speeding might be resolved based on each stage of Kohlberg’s model of moral development (use Table 7.1 on page 123 as a guide).

Have your personal beliefs on the death penalty and wrongful convictions change or been influenced by the video and websites? If so, how? If not, why not?

What is the role of physical activity in managing HF?

/in /by

In October 2012, changes were made in Medicare payment rules. Hospitals are now penalized when a patient returns within 30 days for treatment of the same problem. One of the targeted medical diagnoses for this payment change is heart failure (HF). Therefore, it is essential that the interdisciplinary team be utilized to ensure a safe transition between the acute care setting and home for the patient with HF.

Using APA format, write a six (6) to ten (10) page paper (excludes cover and reference page) that addresses the disease management needs of adult patients with HF for a safe transition between the acute care setting and home and the role of the interdisciplinary team in that transition.

A minimum of three (3) current professional references must be provided. Current references include professional publications or valid and current websites dated within five (5) years. Additionally, a textbook that is no more than one (1) edition old may be used.

 

The paper will consist of four (4) parts and must be submitted by the close of week 6.

Parts 1, 2, and 3 will focus on a disease management issue for the patient with HF and the role of the interdisciplinary team in this issue.

Part 4 is the evaluation of the effectiveness of the interdisciplinary team in this safe transition to home.

 

Part 1: Medication Adherence

Part 1 must include the following:

    1. Three (3) common classes of medications used to manage HF are beta adrenergic blockers, diuretics and ACE Inhibitors.  Why are these medications used to manage HF?
    2. What are some common side effects of these classes of medications?  Which of these side effects would be reported and why? Which side effects would not be reported and why?
    3. Describe any special instructions that would be included with each class of these medications.  For example, food-drug interactions and medications that should be avoided.
    4. Which health care discipline, in addition to the RN, is best suited to help with medication adherence?  How will this team member collaborate with the RN, the patient and the family to help promote medication adherence and a safe transition to home?

Part 2: Dietary Modifications

Part 2 must include the following:

    1. What is the role of diet in managing HF?  What changes need to be made to the present diet?  What role does culture play with diet?
    2. What obstacles might be encountered when informing the patient about the changes in diet?
    3. Which health care discipline, in addition to the RN, is best suited to help with dietary modifications?  How will this team member collaborate with the RN, the patient and the family to help promote healthy eating and a safe transition to home?

Part 3: Physical Activity

Part 3 must include the following:

    1. What is the role of physical activity in managing HF?
    2. How would the RN promote adherence to a daily physical activity routine?
    3. Which health care discipline, in addition to the RN, is best suited to help with physical activity? How will this team member collaborate with the RN, the patient and the family to help promote physical activity and a safe transition to home?
