The practice of an advanced nurse practitioner involves complex ethical and legal challenges, which should be properly addressed. The statistics reveal that 7,000 to 9,000 Americans die each year from the consequences of medication errors (Tariq et al., 2021). The following paper will review the selected scenario to identify ethical and legal implications, relevant approaches to disclosure and nondisclosure, and appropriate decision-making strategies. The process of writing prescriptions and minimizing medication errors will also be discussed in the essay. Safe and competent advanced nursing practice should be based on the awareness of ethical and legal implications. Prescriptive authority refers to the legal right defined by state law that requires the practitioner to properly choose, prescribe, and manage prescription drugs (Rosenthal & Burchum, 2021). In the scenario, ethical implications for the prescriber are the breach of the non-maleficence principle, the decrease in the quality of patient care, and the erosion of trust. Legal implications may involve license withdrawal or lawsuits initiated by the family. The main consequence for the patient is the potential adverse drug event (morbidity, mortality) from the mistakenly prescribed medication (Tariq et al., 2021). The family may experience psychological issues following the event compromising the child’s welfare and initiate a lawsuit against the hospital or the practitioner. Ethical and legal implications for the pharmacist would only occur if there was a dispensing error. However, the scenario suggests that the wrong dosage was prescribed by the practitioner, and the pharmacist is not ethically/legally responsible for the mistake. Healthcare practitioners may be reluctant to disclose medication errors due to possible malpractice lawsuits. However, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (2019) recommends that all potentially harmful errors should be disclosed and explained to patients. Furthermore, the New York State Senate (n.d.) informs that Bill S2533 excludes a practitioner’s apology statement as a liability admission, which means that it cannot be used in medical malpractice lawsuits. Thus, a non-disclosure strategy is inappropriate in the scenario because it would decrease the patient’s or family’s satisfaction with the treatment and increase the risk of harm due to an unidentified dosage error. The first strategy I would employ is full disclosure of the medication error in a timely manner to prevent an overdose in the pediatric patient. As a practiti
Among all the diversity of things which give pleasure to people, art can be regarded as one of the most popular. Art has been already developing for many centuries and year after year people can observe the appearance of new art directions. These directions are conditioned by the social, economic and cultural provisions, which greatly affect the initial meaning and the nature of art. But still, art masterpieces from different eras preserved savagery and exclusiveness of certain historical periods. In general, the world of art is presented by different eras and époques and each of these periods has its own peculiarities and amenities, as they are connected with certain historical events and changes in life of society. Actually, these events and some social conditions predetermined the alteration in the meaning and value of art. Baroque is one of the most interesting and beautiful art styles. There are a lot of works devoted to this style: “This mode of architecture was rooted from Renaissance architecture in Italy in the 1600’s when the creators got bored of the similar proportion and forms that were used during the past two centuries” (Snodin & Llewellyn, 2009). This style found its reflection in luxurious and impressive churches and castles with asymmetrical shapes and excessive decoration. Looking at works created in this style it is impossible to stay indifferent, as this luxury remains those far times when the beauty and turgidity were so popular among kings and representatives of king power. The Baroque movement fashioned architecture which applied classical ideas in a free-for-all abundance. “Another significant aspect of baroque planning and movement was devil open under Sixtus, the introduction of long vistas against obelisks” (Martin, 2003). But by the end of the third decade of the XVIII century the luxurious cascades of decorative elements of this style put the beginning for the vigilant and sometimes even strict meaning of proportion of this art period. It is the brightest example of how some political events can alter the nature and the main features of a certain art style. One more significant era in art is Rococo. Compared with Baroque, this style is not connected with religion or any dramatic expression. “The main characteristic of Rococo style is paintings of untroubled aristocrats” (Schonberger, 2003). For example, they depict beautiful aristocrats decorated with velvet, stylish laces and different golden embroideries. They are depicted as high and fashionable, attractive and luxuries. The faces are always blushing and malleable, so effeminate and unendingly young. Moreover, the noblemen, as usual, are depicted in clothes like female coiffeurs, their lips are rouged and cheeks are blushing, habitually they are on very high heels. This movement depicts the life or aristocracy, free from routine problems, giving the preference to romance and mythology. The works of this style are characterized by playful lines and delicate colors. This demonstrates the way of life of the aristocracy, its indifference to problems and immense
Feasibility involves checking the various elements that indicate the success of a system. It is important to carry out feasibility before rolling out a system because it helps to identify the problems that lie ahead and hence prepare solutions before hand. It is important to observe the environment where the system is to be introduced and verify whether new system is needed. Systems are usually introduced as solutions to a problem thus there should be diversity in the system, that is, there should be optional systems. The choice of a system is determined by its appropriateness and convenience. Operational feasibility gauges the suitability of a system towards its intended purpose. It’s important to check whether the system fully addresses the needs of its users. This involves checking its accuracy and making changes where necessary. The operational study should describe how the system will be run and the expected results and explain how the system will benefit the organization (Berrie 1). Technical feasibility addresses the way the system will be operated such as what will be computed and the sequence of tasks that will be handled by the system. It considers the potential of the organization in embracing the system. This is because an organization may be willing to roll out a new system but because it does not have the appropriate mechanisms and expertise. What matters most is the availability of materials that are necessary in developing the system because if they are inadequate the system will halt before it’s completed. There should be professionals who are solely designated to developing the system but then they should posses the relevant skills in system design because they need to be sure of what they are doing. These are the people who should be called upon incase the system does not perform as expected. They may be people who are team members in an organization or simply people from outside the organization. Bentley and Whitten argue that the system should have a communication channel that is friendly to the users but it can have a separate inter-phase for professionals who designed it which can be used to troubleshoot problems whenever they occur (417). In most systems the user can not encode the system because they don’t know how it was developed hence the expert who develops a system in any organization should be accessible. It is also important to establish the maximum capacity of a system. This is because if the system is forced to perform tasks beyond its maximum capacity it may crush and the consequences may be fatal. Thus the system developer should include other systems that can be used just incase the main system fails. For instance if elevators are out of service, people can use the stairs. If there are no other options incase the system fails, then the risks are too much because the activities of that organization will be brought to a standstill which will lead to decline in productivity.

Job Analysis and its role in Human Resource Management Job analysis, defined as the process of determining the skills, duties, and knowledge for performing work in an organization is an essential component in human resource management. In the case of veteran health administration (VHA), the set of activities performed by the employees to achieve organizational goals defines the job for its workers. According to Richard G. Best, Hysong, Pugh, and Ghosh (2006), job analysis techniques incorporate detailed examination of activities of organizational objectives, goals, and purposes. In addition, it provides a detailed analysis of the functions of the workers in relation to their experiences, educational level, the kind of training undergone relevant to the job description and specification, and the capacity or abilities of the worker. Job analysis entails collection of data for evaluating and selecting qualified personnel. The collected data, according to Richard (2006) incorporates essential components such as, work activities, human oriented work activities such as social behaviors, actions, tools such as machines, tangible and intangible work related activities, performance levels that include standards and other measures of efficiency, context of the job, and personal attributes such as attitude to the job. On the other hand, functional job analysis, which is a quantitative technique, waters down to task specific, occupation and standards of efficiency in the performance of the task. The assignment of primary care tasks stems from successful job analysis techniques to ensure personal decisions meet organizational needs and requirements. This provides sound basis for decision making at the human resource level. Job analysis is vital in human resource management by defining how strategic planning is done, provides a statements of work, clearly expounds on work content, identifies employee qualifications, organizational structure, and the flow of work within an organization. Job analysis enables human resource persons to make decisions according to the law. This incorporates Acts suc
Extreme racism groups including “The White Supremacy” affect the life of the society and create tension and social disobedience. Be that as it may, in a racist community, it stands to reason that every African-American person is bombarded with cultural affronts and indignities regardless of whether or not she or he is involved in actual interaction with other races. In terms of secular perspective, people engage in violence because of strong personal beliefs and the inability to accept other religions and views. They suppose that their religion is the only one, so other beliefs and traditions are morally and socially wrong. After all, extreme racism attraction may be either direct (e.g., verbal and physical abuse) or indirect (e.g., the virtual absence of racial history prior to slavery). The ideology and beliefs of “The White Supremacy” are based on supremacist beliefs that white people are a dominant social class of people while other races and nationalities are non-humans. In terms of psychological perspective, “The White Supremacy” members identify themselves with a certain race or culture and try to devastate other cultures. What is more relevant here is that the racist person from “The White supremacy” expends considerable energy in rationalizing such occurrences and pretending that they have no implications for the well-being of African-American people in general and himself in particular; that is, attributions of task and causation are internal, as required for membership in the white community (The White Supremacy 2009). “The White Supremacy” follows policies of racial hatred and rejection of colored people. The group believes that the civilization perspective states that the violence and racial envy is a result of conflicts between civilizations and their desire for dominance in the world. Thus, although such an individual evaluates African-Americans according to White standard (e.g., physical appearance, standardized tests, etc.), does so mechanically without awareness that other standards are possible, and that he might be as legitimately evaluated according to other racial/ cultural standards. Diverse world views cause individuals to selectively attend to info
Introduction There has been a growing appeal for blockbuster films especially for those featuring youths not just from America, but also from many other parts across the world. These films are interesting to the youths from diverse background mainly because they portray their experience (Driscoll 1980). In fact, the producers of films recognized the import of teenage experience as one of the biggest tools of marketing films to young people globally. This paper explores the extent to which representations of young people in American cinema has changed since the 1980s. Specifically, the paper is divided into three parts that describe representation of the youth in different decades: in the 1980s, in the 1990s and finally in 2000s. In the 1980’s In the 1980s, the major feature that defined youths was financial stability. In fact, producers of films focused on the economic aspects of youths, while representing their experience in films. This was a stark contrast from what was depicted in the 1970’s. In the 1970s, producers concentrated on the fictional part and not on the real representation of the American youth (Shary 2014). To adopt some element of newness and modernity, wealth and desire for leisure were highly popular themes in teen movies in the 1980s (Kendrick 2009). A good example of a film that embodies the culture of the youths of that time is Fast Times at Ridgemont High. In this film, nearly all young characters socialize or work at such places as shopping malls. Actually, the film not just starts, but also finishes at such places. The Fast Times at Ridgemont High film depicted a realistic outlook of the experience of young people. In the 1980s, the blockbuster films especially those focusing on youths seemed to emphasize certain styles of the behavior of young people that defined their day-to-day experiences. The popularity of youth films continued in the 1990s (Jamieson & Romer 2008). This time, these films gave youths an opportunity to reflect on their changing way of life. That is, the films served as a collection of the bad things that had been done by the youths. Most movies and films in the 1980s, as well as in the1990s focused on the five themes of school life, namely, delinquency, dismay, science, and sexuality (Jamieson & Romer 2008). Most of the films featured different aspects of brutality and sex decadence; other films explored an increasing diversity of the experiences faced by adolescents. In the 1970s, there was an economic recession that had cost people their jobs and ways of livelihood (Shary & Seibel 2007). In the 1980s, however, the economy was recovering with
Introduction Operations decision-making is one of the major functions carried out by company’s management. Most of the decisions determine on whether a company should stop producing a certain product, increase production of a certain product, maintain the current level of production or reduce the current level of production (McGuigan, 2008). The process of productivity involves conversion of raw materials into the outputs that are desired by the consumers based on their specified quality. In this paper, the main aim is analyzing whether our company should continue with its operations or pull out of the operations through calculations and analysis the market trends (Frankel, 2008). Details of the Company This is small company less than 5 years old with a total of 100 casual laborers employed in the production units. The company is engaged in the production of paper and paper related products like books, envelopes, box files, cartons among other products. The company raw materials come from old and used papers with heavy reliance on wood for its production. The company faced by tough competition from the other growing and established manufacturers in the same region. Environment Scanning Environment scanning is the possession and application of information concerning proceedings, trends, and interaction in an entity’s external environment, the understanding of which would help management in forecasting the organization’s upcoming course of action. Entities scan the environment in order to understand the exterior forces of adjustments so that they can develop effectual responses which safe guard or improve their current position in the coming future. These environmental factors include their competitors, customers, political governance that is political stability and laws governing trade, technology, suppliers, their employees, company image and products quality, and the company’s financial position. Financial Position The company’s financial position as at the moment (as stated in the financial summary given in the question) is poor since the total costs of production exceeds the total revenue. When the total costs exceed the total revenue then the company is operating at a loss and cannot finance its operation due to its debts. For a company to be in a sober financial position, its total revenue must overweigh the total cost arising from its operations. Total Revenue 6,000* $32= $ 192,000 Less: Wage Cost per Month 100* $70* 20 = $ 140,000 Variable Cost per Month $2,000* 20 = $ 40,000 Gross Revenue $ 12,000 Recommendation on Improving Profitability This company may improve its profitability through reimbursing employees for mileage, provision of insurance allowances for employees, dropping non-performing units, expanding the product line, updating the client’s base and diversifying their products. Reimbursing employees for mileage instead of providing them with company cars w
Introduction The fourth estate refers to the press and this includes the radio broadcaster, journalists, photographers and TV broadcasters among others. Most people in general terms come to an agreement that the fourth estate possess great social power as well as political power. The press can be made use of in shaping the societies. Since there is recognition of the fourth estate as being an important body, many countries have put in place laws that are used to offer protection to the rights of the press, making sure that people in the nation are allowed to give reports on those issues of interest. Basing on the significance that is attached on the role that is played by journalism in the society, many of the fourth estate members abide by particular ethics (both professional and personal). A large number of journalists make attempts to create an environment of impartiality, putting their focus on reporting matters the way they are and allowing people to make judgment for themselves concerning these matters that are reported. At the same time other journalists put their focus on giving out analysis and commentary from a particular stand. In general terms, journalists take caution to ensure that the integrity of the press is protected, offering protection of the sources of information, and also carrying out verification of the information before it is published, and employing other methods and techniques to make sure they win the confidence of the public thus giving encouragement to the people to build up faith in the press (Smith, 2003). However, in the modern times, the commercial pressures have caused the forth estate model to lose its true meaning. This paper is going to argue that the commercial pressures rendered the forth estate model less meaningful. The fourth estate model of journalism and commercial pressures Attention has been drawn by Schultz to the hardships involved to boosting the ideals of the fourth estate within the context of a principally commercial media system, making an observation that journalism has been increasingly bound by the “paradox of holding its head in politics while its feet are grounded in commerce” (Schultz 1998: 45). ICON Group International (2008), taking the case in the United States of America, points out that commercial pressures as well as political pressures on this country’s media have brought about a decline in hard-hitting journalism that is able to focus bright light on those people who are in power. This decline comes at the same time as the occurrence of a critical moment in history; this nation at the present stands out as the only superpower, and the only reasonable check on the abuse of that power is the vibrancy of the democratic process” (ICON Group International, 2008: 552).It is not only the welfare of the American people that lies at stake but the security of the whole world as well. According to Pr
The game “Operations Practice” allows you to feel like a manager of an enterprise, contributing to developing specific skills. For example, thanks to this application, an individual can analyze the interaction with the staff. It is important to note that employees, in this case, are a resource that must be spent, recovered, and provided to increase the efficiency of work. Another factor that makes this helpful game is learning how to use the room properly. This can be a challenge in many businesses, as this aspect is closely related to the quantity and quality of the products produced. Finally, the most significant advantage of the game is proper allocation of human and material resources. This is one of the most challenging issues in business management, and the game shows that the meaning of using resources is to reach a balance. In other words, use of an insufficient amount of available raw materials and excessive lead to negative economic consequences. Thus, this application performs two critical functions, teaching the basics of management and improving the understanding of the interaction of all spheres of business with each other. It should be noted that the primary purpose of this application is to teach the individual to control the supply of raw materials and their use. The essence of the game is that the individual is the manager of the manufactory, which develops in the course of making certain decisions. There is also a designed economic component, allowing you to control the profitability of the industry and the profitability of possible choices. The detail of interaction with raw materials is impressive; a competent manager must produce a particular product and analyze how many conditional units of goods need to be created at a certain point. This makes the game considerably more complicated and shows the correlation between the competent allocation of opportunities and efficient production. The main message of the app is for the player to learn how surpluses and deficits of both goods and resources work.
