Metaparadigm is a term that distinguishes a discipline and gives that discipline an abstract view. It distinguishes one field of study from another. Metaparadigm is a combination of two words, Meta and paradigm. Fawcett defined metaparadigm of discipline as groups of statements that identify its phenomena in a global way and not specific. Fawcett explained the concepts that define the discipline. Fawcett identified four concepts of nursing as environment, health, nursing and human beings (Fawcett, 2005). The nursing discipline development has seen many challenges over the past century. Fawcett formulated that nursing is a distinct discipline composed of structural holarchies, which are integrated to ...

QUALITY INDICATORS

Extensively describe nurse sensitive indicators your employer is tracking

All health facilities take prime on the welfare of their patients and the quality of the services they provide. As such, hospitals hire only highly-qualified nurses and staff to ensure that no patient would fall prey to malpractice and unethical treatment. The Nursing-Sensitive Indicators developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) gauges the efficiency of nurses in the facility. Idzior (2014) explains that these indicators provide information and understanding on the range of the services and care the facility delivers.

Hospital administrators measure Nursing-Sensitive Indicators such as: the patient-focused outcomes, ...

Over the last couple of years a trend has emerged of drug companies in America testing their drugs on people from other countries. The main cause s of this trend has been said to be the consumer protection and liability laws in our country that make it difficult for these companies to try these drugs within the country (Shaw, Barry, 2005). This practice has raised a lot of concerns lately with many saying it is an unethical activity that should stop. According to the food and drug administration of the country, over 80% of the drug applications approved by them in ...

Similarly, the site provides all of the patient information that a healthcare professional would need to know. In addition, the system logs the user’s activities within the system, which make it easier to ensure accountability. As well, the ...

In carrying out a patient assessment, important components such as patient health history and physical health should be examined using a holistic approach. A nurse would require information from the patient, friends and family, diagnostic tests and patient medical records (Jarvis, 2004). A comprehensive assessment should include a detailed survey of physical signs such as weight and height, an assessment of the patient’s body systems and organs. On the other hand, a priority assessment is a short evaluation, normally completed within 5 minutes, which gives an overall evaluation of the patient. However, a more in-depth assessment of the patient is required to make a diagnosis.

Within practical contexts, ethical conduct of employees is as important in nursing as it is within any other professional field. Nurses are required by occupational guidelines to provide care towards patients in the most ethical manner possible. The basic precepts of nursing ethics emphasize that nurses should not employ actions that will inflict either physical or emotional injury to their patients. This means that employees within a healthcare facility, which include the nursing fraternity, are obliged to uphold high level of standards in creating sustainable relationships with patients. According to Perron and Pronsati (2012), those high standards should be guided ...

Theory, Research and Evidence Based Practice

Evidence based Practice (EBP) is the practice of using evidence drawn from scientifically rigorous studies to make decisions. There are various theories and models used in research for EBP. The most interesting theory to me is the Self-care Deficit Nursing Theory. This is because the theory recognizes the need for self-care and treats patients as equal partners in the delivery of quality health services.

Self-care is important in the management of chronic diseases and in disease prevention in primary care and therefore plays central role in modern day nursing practice. The self-care deficit theory was advanced by Dorothea Orem ...

Ethical problems abound in the health care environment. Health care administrators often encounter a dilemma when working in an environment which may not be favorable to the full practice of ethical decision making (Malloch & Porter-O’Grady, 2009). Issues relating to cost-cutting, patient safety, quality care and employee welfare also highlight dilemmas involving the ethical principles of autonomy, justice, beneficence and nonmaleficence (Morrison, 2011). The ACHE code of ethics is a standard which advocates a systematic process for self reflection founded on theory with the goal of assisting health care administrators in making the right decisions (Ethics self-assessment, 2012).

A memorable case written upon the pages of medical history books is Karen Quilain whose parents went to court in order for doctors to remove her ventilator. She lived nine years after this health care intervention, dying from pneumonia (Quinlan, 1977). The health care practice here relates to removing life support. There have been countless research studies showing where blood transfusion practices have been detrimental to patients because either the blood was old or contaminated. Also, organ donation policies regarding the non-heart beating donor often resulted in patients’ relatives opting for donation without prior consent of the unconscious patient ...

Historically, civil engineering is one of the oldest practices in engineering, and still remains the broadest professional field combined with scientific principles. Many early structures, facilities, and transportation aspects were the result of the greatest engineering minds, then branching out into materials science, soil mechanics, waterworks, environment, mechanics and other subgenre fields. However, a particular discipline thriving in one geographical area may not necessarily thrive in another. This explains why sustainable design in the United Kingdom prefers to keep its design sustainability a step ahead for all aspects of civil engineering design (Sherwin, 2012). Since civil engineering umbrellas a multitude of engineering ...

Hypothetically, evidence and theory are alike. However, they are not the same in practice. Evidence-based practice has acquired eminence over most theoretical techniques in a number of fields, particularly in the sphere of health care. Both practices share the mutual objective of making the correct decisions and finding the most efficient solution for an identified difficulty. However, the two practices posses some underlying philosophical distinctions (Gilles, 1998).

Features

The distinction between the two practices can be traced to an ancient rift frequently found in philosophy and science, rationalism versus empiricism. Rationalists claimed that their senses are limited and that they place ...

There is usually a thin line when determining between legal and ethical issues. In marketing, the strategies used are mostly informed by legal and ethical considerations. The same is true when considering product safety and intellectual property. This means that there is a close relationship between law and ethics; however, it is the existence of the law that makes ethical values enforceable. In general, therefore, ethics are those values or rules of conduct that are created so as to guide a particular group of people while legality is something that pertains to the law.

Events that led to the separation of consulting firms from auditing firms

The widespread concerns over the practice of providing auditing and consulting services by a firm to the same client are largely due to the need to curb conflict of interest among other reasons. Audit independence is apparently a necessity that defines the integrity of financial reporting. This and other factors have led to the split of consulting firms from auditing firms into two independent businesses operating in separate business environments. This is evidenced by the Enron case, and the general trend being experienced in the industry as observed in recent practices by the major players (Matthews, 2002). The separation of consulting ...
