What type of drug should you prescribe based on your patient’s diagnosis? How much of the drug should the patient receive? How often should the drug be administered? When should the drug not be prescribed? Are there individual patient factors that could create complications when taking the drug? Should you be prescribing drugs to this patient? How might different state regulations affect the prescribing of this drug to this patient?

These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient.                  

As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for people’s lives every day. Patients and their families will often place trust in you because of your position. With this trust comes power and responsibility, as well as an ethical and legal obligation to “do no harm.” It is important that you are aware of current professional, legal, and ethical standards for advanced practice nurses with prescriptive authority. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the treatment plans and administration/prescribing of drugs is in accordance with the regulations of the state in which you practice. Understanding how these regulations may affect the prescribing of certain drugs in different states may have a significant impact on your patient’s treatment plan. In this Assignment, you explore ethical and legal implications of scenarios and consider how to appropriately respond.

To Prepare

• Review the Resources for this module and consider the legal and ethical implications of prescribing prescription drugs, disclosure, and nondisclosure.
• Review the scenario assigned by your Instructor for this Assignment.
• Search specific laws and standards for prescribing prescription drugs and for addressing medication errors for your state or region, and reflect on these as you review the scenario assigned by your Instructor.
• Consider the ethical and legal implications of the scenario for all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.
• Think about two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your ethically and legally responsible decision-making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose any medication errors.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario you selected on all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.
• Describe strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure as identified in the scenario you selected. Be sure to reference laws specific to your state.
• Explain two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your decision-making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose your error. Be sure to justify your explanation. 
• Explain the process of writing prescriptions, including strategies to minimize medication errors.

PLEASE SEE THE SCENARIO BELOW:

  Scenario:    

• A friend calls and asks you to prescribe a medication for her. You have this autonomy, but you don’t have your friend’s medical history. You write the prescription anyway.

 Discussion Question:  Identify three common and expected emotional reactions that a nurse might have when initially working with persons who manifest suicidal behavior disorder.  Discuss actions and interventions the nurse would need to take to keep the patient safe.  As the nurse working with this population, what are resources available to the nurse to assist in dealing with personal feelings about the event and obtain support? 

 Read the case study titled Revitalizing a Brand [PDF]. Use the Internet or Strayer Library to research the branding and communication strategies of one health services organization that is similar to the health services organizations mentioned in the case study.

Develop a PowerPoint Presentation with a minimum of 14 slides. The 14-slide minimum includes the title slides and sources slides. Please note that PowerPoint slides must include detailed speaker notes.

For more information on creating effective PowerPoint slides, please review this video: Five Essentials for Designing Effective Slides.

For more information on using speaker notes, please review this video: Use Speaker Notes in PowerPoint.

The PowerPoint slides should include the following information:

1. A description of current marketing communication, identity, and brand position of Plaza Home Health Services.
2. A detailed SWOT analysis associated with  current marketing communication, identity, and brand position of Plaza Home Health Services.
3. An assessment of  the importance of benchmarking in Plaza Home Health Services’ development and implementation of an effective brand strategy (marketing communication, identity, and brand position).
4. A comparison of branding and communication strategies of a similar health services organization with that of Plaza Home Health Services. Determine whether Plaza Home Health Services should apply additional best practices into its current branding and communication strategies. Provide a rationale and support for your response.
5. Use five sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source slide at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

Your submitted presentation should follow these formatting requirements:

• Include a cover slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover slide is included in the required number of slides.
• Sources slide(s) at the end of the presentation with five quality sources cited using the Strayer Writing Standards format.
• Speaker notes should be detailed and submitted with slides.
• Use clear bullet points with summary when needed. Presentation slides should be clear and concise about health services strategic marketing using proper writing mechanics.
• Use pictures, diagrams, and graphs where applicable to make your slides more appealing. Visit Pexels for free stock photos and videos you may use in your presentation
