Answer the Discussion Board board questions in paragraph form

Joan Leikvold was hired by Valley View Community Hospital as an operating room supervisor in 1972. She did not have a contract for a specific duration, nor was she told that the hospital would not discharge her except for cause. She was provided with a policy manual and told that the policies were to be followed in her employment relationship with the hospital. In 1978, she became the director of nursing. In October 1979, she requested a transfer back to her former position in the operating room. The chief executive officer (CEO) felt that it was inadvisable for someone who had been in a managerial position to take a subordinate position. Leikvold withdrew the transfer request but was subsequently fired. Her personnel record indicated “insubordination” as the reason for discharge. Leikvold was an at-will employee. At-will means that there is a contract made for an indefinite duration and either party, employer or employee, may terminate the contract at any time for any reason, or without reason, provided the reason is not discriminatory. Can the CEO fire Leikvold?

1) Your response should be in depth (3-4 paragraphs for the initial post. Defend your position with concrete examples from the weekly content.

2) APA citation is required.

Chapter Overview

Because state and federal laws closely regulate medicine, students will need to know the laws and regulations that govern the practice of medicine and the procedures they are permitted to perform.

This chapter explains the many laws that students will encounter in the workplace. Discrimination is a prominent issue in the hiring and promotion of employees that your students will want to know about. This chapter also addresses sexual harassment, a serious problem in the workforce. Students will learn how the ADA regulates the hiring and promotion of physically and mentally disabled individuals; the FADA protects the rights of older workers; the Equal Pay Act prevents the practice of paying women less than men for the same job; the FLSA establishes a federal minimum wage, mandates extra pay for overtime work, and regulates the employment of children; the ERISA involves pensions; and, the OSHA affects health care workers, particularly with regulations involving right-to-know laws and blood-borne pathogens.

Other issues discussed in this chapter are workers’ compensation and social security, which affect every employer and employee. The chapter also explains that Medicare and Medicaid are government-sponsored health care delivery and compensation systems.

And, finally, this chapter makes clear that procedures manuals, job descriptions, and employee handbooks are all part of the business side of a medical practice, as are laws affecting collection procedures.

I need about 100 words for each question and each question with its own references. Please, no Plagiarized work

Topic 1: Genomics

DQ 1

Name three essential structural elements of a functional eukaryotic chromosome and describe their functions. Discuss the implications related to research, health, and life span in terms of one of the structural elements.

DQ 2

Describe the difference among replication, transcription, and translation for both DNA and RNA.

Topic 2: Genetics I

DQ 1

Describe at least four factors that can be associated in a complex inheritance health issue.

DQ 2

Compare two genomic tests used for screening, diagnosis, and management of a disease. Describe whether outcome data exists related to the utility of these tests and what the data shows, if available.

Topic 3: Genetics 2

DQ 1

Contrast two models used for multigenerational family health histories. Which do you prefer and why?

DQ 2

Describe the importance of a comprehensive health and physical assessment that includes information on environment, and genomic influences. Frame this answer through your current role, whether as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP) with a practice, or a nurse executive overseeing nursing practice in an organization.

Topic 4: Personalized Genetic Medicine

DQ 1

Genetics testing is viewed as either positive or negative. When used to detect the genes for breast cancer, health insurance companies deny care based on genetics. Why? Describe one genetic test and its impact on health, prevention, screening, diagnostics, treatment selection, and treatment effectiveness.

DQ 2

Evidence-based practice and standardized clinical guidelines have improved organizations and the ability of providers to provide the care with the highest level of evidence to each patient. Describe one pharmacological agent with a protocol/clinical guideline that is used. Discuss how this protocol may not take into consideration genetic variations. What can be done to tailor care to each patient while providing standardized treatments?

Topic 5: Nutrition

DQ 1

Describe one health issue and discuss how nutrition can impact this health issue positively and negatively.

DQ 2

Choose one disorder of malnutrition. Discuss the genetic and environmental influences on this disorder, including prevalence rates, testing, treatment, and prognosis.

Topic 6: Aging

DQ 1

Discuss how genetic and genomics can play a role in a demand for new health services and how it may impact health care expenditures in the aging population. Give one example.

DQ 2

Describe one method that includes using evidence-based data to support a new or innovative ways to care for the aging now or in the future. How will it impact care and what are the anticipated outcomes?

Topic 7: Chronic Disease

DQ 1

Discuss how genetic and genomics can play a role in a demand for new health services and how it may impact health care expenditures in the chronic disease population. Give one example.

DQ 2

Describe one method that includes using evidence-based data to support a new or innovative way to care for those with chronic disease now or in the future. How will it impact care and what are the anticipated outcomes?

Topic 8: Ethical and Legal Considerations

DQ 1

Choose one recent (within last 2 years) news story about genetic or genomic technology. Describe the issue presented. From the perspective as an RN or APRN, describe the ethical, cultural, religious, legal, fiscal, and societal implication.

 S.T. is a 40-year-old female weighing 120 lbs. and lives with her family in a single home. Today she is admitted complaining of left-sided severe abdominal pain which is relieved at the hospital with medications. She reports, “My pain level is much better! 2/10 now. It was 10/10.” S.T. states she has lost weight over the last two months. She was 160 lbs. S.T. says she makes herself eat but just isn’t hungry. Complains of being “tired all the time” and feels nauseous when she smells food. The morning tray is at the bedside an ¼ is eaten. Her stools are dark and soft. Urine output is 1500 mL/day clear yellow. Her vital signs are Heart Rate (HR) 88(high) regular Respiratory Rate (RR) 18 Blood pressure (Bp) 110/86 Temperature 99.6F(high) Oxygen saturation 99% Her family is at the bedside (husband, daughter (13), and son (11). They appear concerned but conversational. 

I have 2 assignments. The 1st one is write a post between 250-350 words (excluding APA citations in word count) detailing how health care is delivered in the United States. Please use reference material in your post and responses with in-text citations and references in APA format. The 2nd assignment is a one page report summarizing the evolution of U.S. health care delivery. APA format. I need this by Friday night

Week 2 Discussion

Tasks:

1. The “theory-practice gap,” as some have called it, has prevented our profession from full utilization of its knowledge base in practice, and has impeded the view of nursing as a theoretically based discipline, to its detriment. There are distinctly different viewpoints to this argument, based on the different perspectives of academics and theoreticians on the one hand and that of practitioners on the other. Being honest about your reaction, and applying critical thinking skills to the question, where do you stand on the issue, and why?

2. The development of the discipline of nursing has gone through many stages of philosophical debates. Justify the relevance and utility of the knowledge of theory development to your practice.

Directions:

Guidelines: Support your responses with scholarly academic references using APA style format. Assigned course readings and online library resources are preferred. Weekly lecture notes are designed as overviews to the topic for the respective week and should not serve as a citation or reference.

In your discussion question response, provide a substantive response that illustrates a well-reasoned and thoughtful response; it is factually correct with relevant scholarly citations, references, and examples that demonstrate a clear connection to the readings.
