Case Study- Mrs. Smith is an incapacitated patient admitted to the hospital with confusion and weakness. Her diagnosis is pneumonia, complicated by end stage cirrhosis and an elevated ammonia level. She has one daughter named Sandra, who lives locally and visits almost daily but cannot stay overnight. During the previous shift, Mrs. Smith became physically aggressive, confused, and uncooperative. She fell but had no injury. Staff was not able to console or manage her behavior and obtained orders to sedate her. After multiple doses of sedation, Mrs. Smith is resting but heavily sedated. It is a growing concern as to how the client will obtain nourishment. Now some nurses’ advocate for continued sedation throughout the night for behavioral control. Others advocate for continued sedation to prevent another fall. On your morning shift, Mrs. Smith does not exhibit the same behavior that she did earlier but is confused at times and prone to getting up by herself. You are not sure that she needs sedation. A sitter would be beneficial, but none is available. If you sedate her and she cannot take her medication, the condition will worsen and the incapacitation will increase. As her nurse, you feel the appropriate goal is to keep her safe from falls, harm, and her symptoms. You want to also make sure she is receiving adequate nutrition. Using your assigned theorist, how can the nurse care for this client (which includes family) holistically ? Please include references. 1. How the nurse can be authentically present in the nurse-client relationship) 2. How is caring viewed by your assigned theorist 3. How is the person(human) viewed? 4. Please use three of your theorist’s main concepts to explain how this theory would guide the nurse in caring for this client. . Spelling and grammar must be checked prior to submission. Assigned theorist: Joanne Duffy-Quality-Care Model

Karl Marx, James Mill, and Martin Luther King Jr focus attention on the economic, political, and racial injustice. Analyze how each author’s arguments relate to extending civil rights in a democracy by highlighting how divisions of class, ideology, and race prevent full participation in a just and representative democracy.
For this paper and presentation you must begin by completing all assigned readings and observing the impact of technology on topics relevant to our course as you go about your life and recording these observations in your journal. For example, we have readings about dating and relationships in the 21st Century, sexting, online dating, impact of media, impact of social media, use of online communities to explore sexuality, pornography and more. You should choose a focal point and spend several weeks making observations about it. For example, suppose you were interested in assessing the role mobile technology plays in relationships. You might make observations about how many couples you see publicly occupying the same space, yet each transfixed with their phone simultaneously. You might consider how many times you overhear someone complain about technology being burdensome in their relationship, or how many people you know who have made such claims. Yet another way to approach this could include asking friends some questions about whether or not they have had issues related to technology and dating or relationships or sex. Obviously, you might also choose to look for positive impacts of technology. There are a variety of possibilities of themes of inquiry and our readings offer many different ideas that you can use as starting points for your project. Once you have settled on a focal point, you need to think about how and where you can observe it, who you can talk to about and what it means for us today. How does this behavior compare to the past? What implications does it have for the future? Be careful to not jump to conclusions! Your analysis must be based on your observations.
The assignment has eight components. Here are some suggestions for each: • Career Plan – Each student must develop and submit his/her written career plan addressing the next twenty years. This plan should address goals, objectives, target positions, phases, milestones, target timing and timelines, and the like. Note that one’s career plans might need to be correlated against one’s life plan. For example, by what life age do you wish to achieve what career milestones? How might marriage, children, elderly parents, your own energy level, etc. affect your career plan? How might the different domains of your existence, such as career vs. family vs. leisure, compete for your resources of time, money, and energy? Your career plan should at least recognize and account for their reality since they run concurrently and in many ways, are interactive. • Career related issues list – Each student must identify, think through and make a list of career related issues, together with strategies to resolve them, or at least, cope with them. Examples include issues such as: self-esteem and self-image; balancing home and career; relating personal and work lives; personhood at work, e.g., how much “guff” to tolerate; reconciling race/ethnicity/gender/etc. at work; dealing with “isms”, racism, sexism, nepotism, favoritism, classism, etc., career self-sabotage; politics of the workplace; labor market changes and requirements; competition; work place behavior and etiquette; career transitions; ethics; recovery from setbacks; life stage as related to career stage; personal relationships and careers; mentorship; image and perception; etc. These are examples to stimulate student discussion and thinking and to which students will surely add others. • Career skills self-assessment – Based on the career plan, students must identity the skills necessary to achieve at least the first phase of their career plans. Students must then develop and complete a self-assessment of at least these first phase skills. • Career skills development plan – This activity calls for the identification of critical career skills as least through the second phase of the career plan, together with actions and means by which to develop these skills. • Cover letter and resume – Based on the career plan, self-assessment and development plan, students will develop an appropriate and acceptable resume and cover letter by which to pursue appropriate opportunities with appropriate prospective employers. For those whose immediate career plans exclude employment by others, the cover letter and resume should target someone from whom your plan requires support, such as a prospective investor or prospective board member. • Graduate study – Based on the career plan, the skills assessment and the skills development plan, each student must obtain and satisfactorily complete at least one approved application for graduate programs of higher education institutions appropriate to the career plan and the skills development plan. Bowie State may be included as a second application. For applications which do not require at least four/five essays, you must include all five of the following essays with your application. 1. Essay 1 – Write an autobiographical statement 2. Essay 2 – What are your short term and long-term career plans? Why those vs. others you have considered and rejected? 3. Describe a societal or organizational situation requiring leadership. How would you resolve it, using what you have learned from your academic studies and/or your career to date. 4. Describe an ethical dilemma, conflict, or failure in which you were involved. How did you deal with and resolve the situation? What did you learn from the situation and what would you do differently now?) 5. Describe your three most substantial accomplishments and why you view them as such
