The culminating argument paper is a restructuring of the first two papers with the addition of an abstract, introduction, and conclusion.

• This paper should include a newly composed introductory section and a new final conclusion section that presents your discussion of (and argument for) the solution. Your argument, or rationale, for the solution that you propose is the focus of this paper.

Your paper must:

• Be 15–20 pages in length
  • Title page (1 page)
  • Introduction (1–2 pages)
  • Reworked informative papers (10–15 pages)
  • Conclusion (1–2 pages)
  • References (1–2 pages)
• Reference 12–15 scholarly, peer-reviewed resources (compiled by combining all of the references from your Perspective of Inquiry papers and any additional resources you use in this final paper.)
• Follow all APA Style guidelines.
• Is over the two papers I’m uploading that you make into one big paper of the four perspectives of the topic of patient satisfaction in the ED.

 

This week we look at moral relativism, or the belief that morals are individual and/or cultural and not something shared by all people.

Here’s a one-minute video giving a quick but accurate explanation of individual and cultural moral relativism: LINK (Links to an external site.).

And here is a quick video by Audiopedia that accurately explains moral absolutism as compared to moral relativism and moral objectivism: LINK (Links to an external site.).

In 2013, Pope Francis said that moral relativism “endangers the coexistence of peoples.”  He said what we need for peaceful coexistence is “a common ethics based on human nature.”  He called moral relativism a kind of “dictatorship” that endangers the world (Catherine Harmon, 2013; for source click link (Links to an external site.)).

In her 2014 book called Plato at the Googleplex, Rebecca Goldstien wrote: “There used to be things that everybody thought were okay, and then just about everybody changed their minds about them, and could see that they were flat-out wrong.”  And then she asked: “So how did that happen?” (Goldstein, Pantheon Books, NY, p.113).

So, let’s talk about it.  Answer the first question and then your choice of either question 2 or question 3:

1.  Speak with a friend, fellow worker, or family member about today’s moral values.  Do they think we have a problem with moral decay today and what examples would they give to show it’s a fact?  Explain what moral relativism is and ask them if they see it as dangerous, beneficial, or neither and why.

2.  Consider the quote above from Rebecca Goldstein and answer the following: What would you give as an example of what she says everyone used to think was okay but now we don’t?  Does this view of moral history support the idea of moral relativism or not?  In other words, if we believe we’ve made some moral progress in history, would that suggest we are moral relativists or that we believe in some objective moral values?

3. Without getting into politics and without being disrespectful of others, would you describe President Donald Trump as a moral relativist, moral absolutist, or something else morally?  And why?  This is simply trying to describe what we see as factual and not trying to judge whether it’s good or bad at this point.

 

To Prepare:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources concerning treating patients with anxiety disorders.
• Reflect on a child or adolescent client you are currently counseling or have previously counseled at your practicum site who has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.

 

Post a 3- to 5-minute Kaltura video in which you do the following:

• Describe the client who has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. Note: Do not use the client’s actual name.

• Explain your therapeutic approach with the client, including the perceived effectiveness of your approach.

• Identify any additional information about this client that may potentially impact expected outcomes.

 

Provide a minimum of three academic references no more than five years old . 

Support your approach with evidence-based literature in APA Format and proper citation, including introduction and conclusion.

Module 1 Assignment: Case Study Analysis

An understanding of cells and cell behavior is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. But some diseases can be complex in nature, with a variety of factors and circumstances impacting their emergence and severity.

Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond isolated cell behavior. Genes, the environments in which cell processes operate, the impact of patient characteristics, and racial and ethnic variables all can have an important impact.

An understanding of the signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
 

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify cell, gene, and/or process elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

To prepare:

By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.

The Assignment (1- to 2-page case study analysis)

Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in which you:

• Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described.
• Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease.
• Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.

Case study; Week 2

Scenario 4: A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HCP with crampy left lower quadrant pain, constipation, and fevers to 101˚ F. He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. Colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon. 

Reminder: The College of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The sample paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/templates). All papers submitted must use this formatting.
