The introductory use of medication resources

Week 13 &14: The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize the student with their responsibility to provide safe medication administration. This exercise includes the introductory use of medication resources such as a nursing drug handbook, reputable online medication resources, CPS, etc. The student will identify a beginner’s knowledge of the drug’s generic and trade name, indications for use, therapeutic actions, and nursing considerations. Future levels of study will include drug classifications, appropriateness of use, preparation, and adverse effects/interactions. This assignment will be part of your clinical workbook and will be included for assessment in your final evaluation. List the selected medication(s) to be researched: __________________________________________________________

Drug Name Generic and TradeIndications for Use (Why is your client taking this medication)?Therapeutic Actions (What are the effects of the medication)?Nursing Considerations (What special actions must the nurse monitor for or perform when administering this medication)?
Dalteparin 5,000 Unit=0.2ml Pls 5,000 Anti-Xa Units/0.2ml syrg
Docusate Sodium U.D. 100 mg capsule
Domperidone Maleate 10 mg tablet
Enoxaparin Sodium 30 mg/0.3 mL syrg

NOTE: Please help me to do this assignment i already have the medication and they are under Drug Name Generic and Trade i just need to help me fill out the other boxes with information .Thank You

Environmental influences

Discussion: The research study I chose is about the ophthalmic experiments conducted by Josef Mengele. He was known as the Angel of Death and was a German Schutzstaffel officer and doctor during World War II. Although Mengele was not an ophthalmologist, the objective of this study was to find a cure for heterochromia. Mengele had multiple heterochromatic prisoners at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1943 who were used as his test subjects. He would send their eyes to another researcher, Magnussen, in Berlin for examination. Mengele administered adrenaline drops into children inmates’ eyes in an attempt to change eye color and to study environmental influences (Halioua, 2020).

No change of eye color ever took place during this experiment. This experiment caused inflamed eyes that diminished sight, created fear and distress, and even death of a newborn baby (Richard, 2020). The ethical principles violated were informed consent, autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. I believe every provision of the ANA Code of Ethics was violated but the main provisions violated were 1.1, 1.2, and 1.4. Mengele had no respect for human dignity regarding the prisoners of the Holocaust. The relationship with the patients was also not respected and bias and prejudice were not set aside. Human dignity was not recognized among the patients, and they did not have the legal right to determine what will be done to themselves since they were prisoners (American Nurses Association, 2017). The researchers could have avoided this violation by understanding there is no scientific benefit that could have been derived from this procedure. This procedure should have never occurred, and it is disturbing to know this experiment and hundreds of others happened during the Holocaust.

Medication order for morphine

You are the lead Pharmacy Technician at your local trauma center. You are training a new Pharmacy Technician in your unit and have created a scenario to share with them as part of the training strategy. An RN from the Emergency Room (ER) provides a medication order for morphine and states that she needs the medication urgently. Due to the urgency, the attending physician was unable to sign off on the prescription order. The RN says that the patient weighs 60 kg; she also asks if this is a medication that could be dispensed from the ER’s Pyxis machine.

Principles of informed consent and non-maleficence

Discussion: I chose to look into the hepatitis study done between the years of 1956 and 1970 at the Willowbrook School for Mentally Retarded Children. During this study, experimental vaccines for hepatitis were administered to students of the school without a full explanation of the risks included in the study. New students admitted to the school were purposefully infected with viral hepatitis A and B and parental consent was obtained in a group method (da Gloria et al., 2015).  Ethical principles that were violated in this study include the principles of informed consent and non-maleficence. The parents of this study were not fully told the risks of participating in the study and consent was obtained in a group setting which could influence one’s decision.

Also, the principle of nonmaleficence is tied to the idea of doing no harm to our patients, when clearly, harm was inflicted on these children with the injections of a virus. As for the Code of Ethics, there are a number of provisions that were violated in this study. Some of these violations include provisions 1.1, 3.2, and 5.5. The researchers of this study lacked respect for human dignity and failed to protect the human rights of the students at this school (American Nurses Association, 2017). The researchers could have avoided these violations by taking a step back and realizing that they were exploiting the rights of children who were unable to speak for themselves. Also, the researchers could have worked harder to provide informed consent to the parents of the children with an explicit explanation of the research going to be conducted and what the benefits/risks would be. It is upsetting to look back on this study and see how long these experiments were conducted.

 

Surgical nursing experience

You are part of a team gathered to plan for the growing needs of the hospital surgery department. The hospital you work for is a large non-profit healthcare system in several communities in your state and the system has a good reputation.  Your role is a surgery nurse and you have worked in the surgery department of this hospital for 5 years.  You are an RN, and you have over 10 years of surgical nursing experience.  Consider the following and discuss with your peers:

  1. Who should the members of the team include besides yourself and why?
  2. There is an option to expand the current surgery wing in the current hospital, there is an option to lease or purchase land about 15 miles away and build a new surgery center, and there is an option to collaborate with a private surgery group that has several for-profit stand-alone surgery centers in the same area which perform more services than your hospital currently supports. How would you decide which option to recommend and what information would you prepare for your presentation?
  3. What risks and challenges could be barriers and how would you plan for risk assessment?
  4. Discuss the budget planning and estimation process and key factors to include in your recommendations.
