The nursing code of ethics

Final Ethics Discussion Board

I have chosen an article about immunizations and health disparities as our final ethical discussion board.  This is the link to the article:  http://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/ethical-issues-and-vaccines

This is full of ethical concerns, and I do not want to limit you, so please choose something from the article to discuss, identify an appropriate provision from the nursing code of ethics, and what you think should or could be done to address it.  I think this topic has many personal opinions to it, and you can mention these because the public can have the same and naming helps us figure out how to address those concerns.  Please remember to cite both the article and the book.

You are the public health officer or health care administrator in charge of finding a prevention and intervention program to address public health issues in your community. You have been asked by your supervisor to create a report on the public health issue that you will be working for.

Based on your findings, express your views on the following in regards to Community is Hampton Roads Area or Virginia

What are the health problems or issues currently impacting your community?
What is the demographic data of your community as given on the U.S. Census Bureau website?

How do you plan to assist in the prevention and intervention programs of your community?

 

 

The purpose of the aseptic technique

The purpose of the aseptic technique is to control the conditions of the work environment so that sterile media remain that way until inoculated deliberately by the lab worker (you). The two tubes represent the "before" and “after" results when this is accomplished — a sterile medium is inoculated and grows to produce a pure culture of the unknown organism. List three precautions taken in the wet lab to reduce accidental and unwanted inoculation (also known as “contamination") of sterile media.

How has the replacement of bison with cattle on the prairie impacted the ecosystem? 

How has the replacement of bison with cattle on the prairie impacted the ecosystem? Prairie chicken habitat has been reduced and the species is considered endangered. There has not been an impact because bison and cattle both graze on grass. Cattle have encouraged wolves and grizzlies to return to the prairie. Cattle graze on less grass and prairie grass growth has therefore increased. The loss of bison has increased the eagle population.

Exposure therapy for behavioral treatment of phobia

Thinking about exposure therapy for behavioral treatment of phobia, first, select a phobia, second, indicate whether you are doing in vivo, imaginal, or virtual reality exposure and third,  create a hierarchy for exposure with at least 5 entries.

How would you use the hierarchy in treatment and how would you know when treatment was working?

Use the process of exposure therapy treatment to explain the mechanism of change in behavior therapy.

What are the three types of exposure therapy?
Exposure simply means facing or confronting one’s fears repeatedly until the fear subsides (called habituation, see below). Response prevention means refraining from compulsions, avoidance, or escape behaviors. For example, suppose a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has germ contamination phobia.
These include:
  • In vivo exposure: Directly facing a feared object, situation or activity in real life. …
  • Imaginal exposure: Vividly imagining the feared object, situation or activity. …
  • Virtual reality exposure: In some cases, virtual reality technology can be used when in vivo exposure is not practical
  • What is the key procedure in exposure therapy for phobia?
    Exposure therapy focuses on changing your response to the object or situation that you fear. Gradual, repeated exposure to the source of your specific phobia and the related thoughts, feelings and sensations may help you learn to manage your anxiety.
