Discussion: Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies   In the bes

Discussion: Ethical Dimensions of Research Studies   In the best-selling book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (Skloot, 2010), the author highlights the true story of an African-American woman who died in 1951 from cervical cancer. What makes her story unique is that prior to her death, cells from her tumor were removed and successfully grown in a petri dish. This was the first time scientists were able to successfully replicate cells outside the body, and it is estimated that billions of Lacks’ cells have been used in medical research. However, Henrietta Lacks was never asked for permission to take a sample and her family was never made aware of the widespread use of her cells. Although the culturing of her cells has been pivotal for advancing research, strong ethical concerns later arose about using these cells without patient or family approval.   This week’s readings describe historical examples of unethical research, such as a study of syphilis among African-American men in which treatment was withheld and a study in which live cancer cells were injected into elderly patients. Today, stricter controls that seek to protect study participants are placed on researchers, but breaches still occur. Careful attention must be given toward preventing unethical behavior. In this Discussion, you explore ethical considerations and issues in research.   To prepare:   Select a current health-related case involving research ethics. (If none come to mind, browse the Internet to familiarize yourself with recent cases.) As you review the case that you have selected, reflect on the ethical principles discussed in “What Are the Major Ethical Issues in Conducting Research?” article found in this week’s Learning Resources. Which principles were breached in the case you have identified?   Post a description of the case that you selected and the ethical issues involved. Analyze the ethical principles that were breached by the researchers or organizations in your selected case as well as the possible cause of the breach(es). Suggest how the research might have been conducted differently to avoid or minimize the ethical problems. Discuss how research can be done on sensitive issues while still protecting the rights of the research subjects.   Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses. Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches: Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, and evidence. Offer and support an alternative perspective using readings from the classroom or from your own review of the literature in the Walden Library. Make a suggestion based on additional evidence drawn from readings or after synthesizing multiple postings.   Required Readings   Polit, D. F., & Beck, C. T. (2017).

hi dear,  can help me to finish this assignment with good qualit

hi dear,  can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?  all the readings are attached, please have it with the correct APA citation.      Discussion 1 Part 1: Ask one good question from your readings.  The critical thinking question must be thoughtful, in depth, and based on information gathered from the readings. It should be clear that you have read the readings and thought about them. These questions are your own questions that you thought about during the readings (e.g. This week we read about poor access to water.) · There are various solutions through boreholes, water kiosks, and rock catchments, but what, in your opinion, do you think is the best solution? · How do we make these projects sustainable? Lastly, is there a specific region you would focus on? Part 2: Answer at least one question in Question 1; however, please respond to as many posts as you can! Let’s get a good discussion going! Discussion 2 What approach would you take in a low-income African country to enhance the access of the poor to better water supplies? Why? Discussion 3 Describe one disease in a country, an intervention that could be proposed and how culture could play a role in intervention adherence or acceptance. For example: Malaria, bed nets, and culture could play a negative role because people could use them for fishing instead of sleeping under them. In a low-SES community, populations would be more interested in food and less in malaria exposure. Discussion 4 Find 3 sources (most of these should be a peer reviewed journal paper) on your research topic. Please use National University library and/or Google Scholar to assist in your search. Mention how you plan to use the information from this paper in your research. You need a minimum of 5 sentences. Get +1 on your mid-term exam. MUST BE IN PROPER APA FORMAT! Respond to this post like this:     My topic: Understanding the health implications of water in Iraq. 1. Zolnikov, T. R. (2013). The maladies of water and war: Addressing poor water quality in Iraq. American Journal of Public Health, 103(6), 980-987. I have selected this paper to use because it provides information on waterborne diseases. While it focuses on Iraq, I believe I will be able to extend this information and use it in a broader context. 2. Hagopian, A., Flaxman, A. D., Takaro, T. K., Al Shatari, S. A. E., Rajaratnam, J., Becker, S., & Burnham, G. (2013). Mortality in Iraq Associated with the 2003–2011 War and Occupation: Findings from a National Cluster Sample Survey by the University Collaborative Iraq Mortality Study. PLoS Medicine,10(10), 2-15. I have selected this paper because I will be able to review mortality rates within Iraq. I can understand what health implications are taking place. Also, because this paper was printed in 2013, it is a valuable current source of data. 3. Alborz, A. (2013). Environmental characteristics and prevalence of birth defects among children in post-war Iraq: implications for policies on rebuilding the Iraqi education system. Medicine, Conflict and Survival, 29(1), 26-44. This paper focuses on the childhood aspect of disease. It will also allow further insight into war in Iraq and how that contributed to adverse health effects within the population. Thanks,

Assignment: Why is it important for the nurse leader to provide

Assignment: Why is it important for the nurse leader to provide a reasonable and fair operation budget? Although budget figures are estimates of future projections, why and how should nurse leaders be prepared to explain short-term variations? Nurse leaders have many responsibilities when it comes to the development of the budget. What issues would be considered most important for the nurse leader in this process? How should a nurse leader prepare to handle minimum staffing requirement costs in the budget process in case this is challenged? Besides a department budget approach, what other alternatives are available in the budgeting process? This APA essay will have 1200-1500 words with 4 supporting references. Make certain to include an introduction and conclusion paragraph, along a title and reference page.

Seventy-eight-year-old Mr. Harod has been a long-term resident of

Seventy-eight-year-old Mr. Harod has been a long-term resident of the retirement community. Although mentally sharp, his condition has declined in the past several months and he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He has declined treatment, stating that he understands his poor prognosis and would rather spend whatever life he has left unbothered by the stress and side effects of treatment, Last month Mr. Harod was transferred to the nursing home section of the retirement community. You have noticed several individuals regularly visiting him and learn from another resident that these people are part of a group who support assisted suicide, A few days later, when entering Mr. Harod’s room for morning rounds, you find him deceased. By his bed are several papers that describe who to contact and what plans to make. You are aware that the people who had been visiting had been there the night before and spent considerable time in a private meeting with Mr. Harod. One of the residents comments that Mr. Harod “went out on his own terms,” It appears several of the residents support his choice; it was, in fact, suicide. What should you do in this situation? *Please note that I live in Texas and assisted suicide is illegal and prohibited in Texas.  Please research nursing responsibilities related to this scenario APA Format and references must be within the past 5 years, no references earlier than 2015 should be used
