This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles and four boxes approach.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize the four principles and four boxes approach and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

Assignment: Study Guide Forum

Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions, either pharmacological or nonpharmacological, while other disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.

For this Assignment, you will develop a study guide for an assigned disorder and share it with your colleagues. In sum, these study guides will be a powerful tool in preparing for your certification exam.

To Prepare

· Your Instructor will assign you to a specific neurodevelopmental disorder from the DSM-5.

· Research your assigned disorder using the Walden Library.

· Then, develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the disorder.

The Assignment

Create a study guide for your assigned disorder. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the DSM-5 but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources not more than 5 years.

Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:

· Signs and symptoms according to the DSM-5

· Differential diagnoses

· Incidence

· Development and course

· Prognosis

· Considerations related to culture, gender, age

· Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects

· Nonpharmacological treatments

· Diagnostics and labs

· Comorbidities

· Legal and ethical considerations

· Pertinent patient education considerations

By Week 8

Submit your Assignment to the forum as an attachment. Although no responses are required, collegial discussion is welcome. You are encouraged to utilize your peers’ submitted guides on their assigned neurodevelopmental disorders for study.

Two new associate-degree graduates were hired for the pediatric unit. Both worked three 12-hour

shifts a week, Jan in the day-to-evening shift and Ronnie at night.Whenever their shifts

connected, they would compare notes on their experience. Jan felt she was learning rapidly,

gaining clinical skills and beginning to feel at ease with her colleagues. Ronnie, however, still

felt unsure of herself and often isolated. “There have been times,” she told Jan, “that I am the

only registered nurse on the unit all night. The aides and LPNs are really experienced, but that’s

not enough. I wish I could work with an experienced nurse as you are doing.” “Ronnie, you are

not even finished with your 3-month orientation program,” said Jan. “You should never be left

alone with all these sick children. Neither of us is ready for that kind of responsibility. And how

will you get the experience you need with no experienced nurses to help you? You must speak to

our nurse manager about this.” “I know I should, but she’s so hard to reach. I’ve called several

times, and she’s never available. She leaves all the shift assignments to her assistant. I’m not sure

she even reviews the schedule before it’s posted.” “You will have to try harder to reach her.

Maybe you could stay past the end of your shift one morning and meet with her,” suggested Jan.

“If something happens when you are the only nurse on the unit, you will be held responsible.”

In what ways has Ronnie been an effective follower? In what ways has Ronnie not been so

effective as a follower?

The benchmark assesses the following competencies:

3.3 Provide individualized education to diverse patient populations in a variety of health care settings.

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses. These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.
