  Plagiarism is when we are using another person’s thoughts, idea, work, and effort without acknowledging it. When we do not use the name of the author or use the resource and material but don’t cite the source or author. We are then using someone else work as our own and this is being dishonest and cheat. This discredits us not only personally but professionally also we lose trust.

  When we properly cite the name of the author, quotation and a source of the reference then it helps us to prove that our research is substantial and is based on some evidence. This gives credibility to our work and proves our viewpoint. In the nursing profession keeping the integrity, reliability, confidentiality, and trust is the key. In order to maintain the academic integrity, we should use the resource properly by providing the name of the author, publication, book or article and also mentioning it in our references. Also should not copy someone work. I will try to ensure that I use the resources properly and ask for help if I need to.

This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience.

Part I: Interview

Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview. Be sure  to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient, regardless of  whom you choose to interview.

Review The Joint Commission resource found in topic materials, which  provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for  evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and any  other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for  assessing the spiritual needs of patients.

Your spiritual needs assessment survey must include a minimum of five  questions that can be answered during the interview. During the  interview, document the interviewee’s responses.

The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers  provided. Be sure to record the responses during the interview by taking  detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information  through which the interviewee can be determined.

Part II: Analysis

Write a 500-750 word analysis of your interview experience. Be sure  to exclude specific names and other personal information from the  interview. Instead, provide demographics such as sex, age, ethnicity,  and religion. Include the following in your response:

1. What went well?
2. Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to  complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future  or change your assessment to better address these challenges?
3. How can this tool assist you in providing appropriate interventions to meet the needs of your patient?
4. Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the spiritual  concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with  examples.

Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis of your  results. This should be submitted as one document. The interview  transcript does not figure into the word count.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA  Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not  required.

Discussion 2         

Betty, the chief nursing officer, had to make a decision about buying 120 new hospital beds for patient rooms. After she interviewed nurse mangers at the units where the beds were going to be placed, Betty compiled her findings and decided to contact a well-known equipment company to obtain prices and contracts. The equipment company’s executive salesperson, Jim, discussed options at length with her and invited her and her significant other to an upcoming all-expenses-paid lavish retreat at a five-star hotel in Hawaii to see demonstrations of the beds and to hear a comprehensive sales pitch. Betty thought to herself, “We badly need some relaxation and stress relief. Hawaii would be so much fun. Would it be wrong for us to go?”

• If you were Betty, what would you do? Give your rationale. Justify your answer with an ethical framework—a theory, approach, or principle.
• Do you consider this situation a conflict of interest? Why or why not? Give your rationale.
• What policies, if any, should be in place regarding a scenario such as this one?  Do you have any such policies in place at work for similar situations? Do such policies impact day-to-day activities in any way?  Explain.
