Essay: Assignment Instructions

Overview

This essay requires you to demonstrate an understanding of jurisdiction that is consistent with a biblical worldview. The civil government does not have authority to govern over all the affairs of man. It is critical that we understand that the government does not have jurisdiction to punish everything that is “wrong.” In other words, all sins are not crimes. For example. James Madison believed that religious liberty exists because the government does not have the authority to punish citizens for their beliefs. This principle of limited jurisdiction is consistent with a biblical worldview because it recognizes that God has instituted government. And He has given it authority to accomplish a particular, and limited mission on the earth, which is to punish those who do evil and reward those who do good (See Romans 13:1-4).

Instructions

In response to a rise in violence, the state of Wisconsin passes a law that enhances the penalty for any offense committed against a victim where the crime is committed “because of hatred for the victim’s race, sex, or religion.” Taking into consideration that hating your brother is prohibited in both the Old and New Testaments, explain whether this “hate crimes” enhancement is a proper exercise of the civil government’s jurisdiction according to the biblical worldview discussed in the course materials. Fully explain your position.

You will write a 3–5-page (double spaced) research-based paper in current Bluebook format that fully analyzes the essay prompt. In your essay, you must include citations to at least 3 scholarly sources in addition to the course textbook and the Bible. Your citations should be placed in footnotes and you do not need a reference or bibliography page. You also do not need a cover page.

Section 16. Free exercise of religion; no establishment of religion
That religion or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and, therefore, all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other.

No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced. Restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief.

And the General Assembly shall not prescribe any religious test whatever, or confer any peculiar privileges or advantages on any sect or denomination, or pass any law requiring or authorizing any religious society. Or the people of any district within this Commonwealth. To levy on themselves or others, any tax for the erection or repair of any house of public worship, or for the support of any church or ministry; but it shall be left free to every person to select his religious instructor, and to make for his support such private contract as he shall please.

The doctrine of sovereign immunity

The doctrine of sovereign immunity

PAPER#1(KJ):

It was not until recent years that state and local governments could be sued due to the doctrine of sovereign immunity. The doctrine of sovereign immunity stated that a governing body of its representatives could not be sued because it made the laws in the first place (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020). Even while confined in prison, inmates still have civil rights. Federal and state prisoners can file lawsuits with the federal courts stating that their civil rights have been violated by correction officials (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020). However, not all cases brought to court by inmates are a violation against their rights and at the end of the Prisoners’ Rights Era, courts had become less sympathetic to prisoners’ claims, as many were frivolous lawsuits (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020). In order to protect correctional officers changes were made at the state and federal level which have slowed the number of case prisoners have brought against officers (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020). The Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act was changed in 1980 which forces a prisoner to use all means necessary at the state level before a writ of habeas corpus can be filed at the state level (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020). It can be challenging to sue government officials for allege misconduct and one hurdle that must overcome in order to do so is the qualified immunity doctrine that shields the government official from lawsuits unless the defendant’s conduct violated a right constitutional, or the right was clearly established at the time the misconduct took place (Lass, 2018).

PAPER#2(PR):

Classmates,

Sovereign immunity is an English law based on a common law principle that the King could not do any wrongdoing, and this law applies to state and federal governments (“Sovereign Immunity,” n. d.). Therefore, sovereign immunity says that the federal and state government cannot be sued without their permission (“Sovereign Immunity,” n. d.). The reasoning behind this law was that if the individuals who made these laws should not be compelled by it (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020). The federal and state governments can waive their right to sovereign immunity through the Federal Tort Claims Act, which put aside federal immunity for certain wrong claims (“Sovereign Immunity,” n. d.). The Westfall Act says that a feral worker cannot be prosecuted while employed. Some states have complicated laws that have prohibited immunity through governmental action.

Inmates can sue correctional officers. However, the inmate must prove lawsuit. The correctional officer and the correctional institute must prove that they followed proper procedures and obeyed to policies, and that each staff member was well supervised and prepared (Cornelius, 2016). In addition, sovereign immunity does not preclude an injured private citizen from suing a state officer and acquiring an order that the officer stop conduct that breaks federal law (“Sovereign Immunity,” n. d.). In 2016, President Barack Obama signed a law to protect federal correctional officers, which is called the Eric Williams Correctional Officers Protection Act, which says that Bureau of Prisons must give non-lethal pepper spray to guards in medium to high security prisons, so they have a way to defend themselves (“Obama Signs,” 2016). In addition, some states have adopted federal liberty practices such as good faith and reasonable belief principles to protect specific officers (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020).). There was a short case of Ali v. Federal Bureau of Prisons where Ali sued the prison and the correctional officers; However, the courts held that the correctional officers are federal employees and are immune from that type of lawsuit (Schmalleger and Smykla, 2020)

Cultural Considerations In Mental Health Nursing

/in /by

Cultural Considerations In Mental Health Nursing

Submit an evidence-based practice paper about cultural competency in mental health nursing. An evidence-based practice paper allows you to explore best practices and help improve client outcomes on a psychiatric unit. Your paper should describe how you, as a nurse, will include – or have included – cultural awareness in a client diagnosed with a mental illness. The person you describe could be someone in your clinical setting. Someone you have worked with in the past, or a theoretical client.

Remember that culture can also include gender equality. Sexual orientation, and other cultures besides race and religion – including cultures unique to one particular family. Your paper should be at least 3 pages. (double-spaced, not including the title or reference pages) in APA format and include:

conflicts with religious practices

  • Assessment: Discuss what you would assess in regard to a client’s culture. For example. Are there specific dietary requirements? Are schedule changes necessary to avoid conflicts with religious practices. Who is the spokesperson for the family? What would you assess?
  • Diagnosis: List any mental health nursing diagnoses this person has or may be at risk for. Include at least one cultural diagnosis.
  • Planning: What planning needs to be done to ensure the cultural and emotional safety of the client?
  • Implementation: What are interventions that would ensure the safety of your client in regard to culture? Include at least two interventions. For example, if your client has religious beliefs that affect the ability to take medications. What interventions would you create to ensure the client’s safety? What can you do to make sure the client’s cultural needs are met?
  • Evaluation: How will you evaluate whether your implementation was effective? Make sure the parameters are objective and measurable.
  • In your summary. Discuss whether any completed interventions were successful. What could be done differently in the future.If the interventions have not yet been carried out. You might discuss some institutional changes that could be made to ensure cultural safety for all clients in that setting.

Your paper should utilize proper APA guidelines. And include at least three scholarly sources to support your paper. A scholarly source is a source that has been peer-reviewed and has appropriate authors that are credentialed.

Strategies to Collect & Share Evidence 

/in /by

Strategies to Collect & Share Evidence

What strategies can staff nurses use to share evidence that could impact health policy decisions?

The benefits of data sharing have been publicly recognized over the last few decades. Nurses form an integral part of the healthcare community. They must therefore be aware of the strategies to employ and to communicate with other professionals within the working environment. What triggers the development of evidence sharing techniques, is the demand to manage public health emergencies. The research nurses conduct is essential when it comes to creating a sound public health policy. After conducting their research, nurses can employ various strategies to share the evidence collected for it to be used in developing public health policies (Sherner, 2016). These strategies include the use of mass media strategies such as radio, televisions, newspapers, flyers, the internet, and social media. Nursing professionals can also employ interpersonal and organizational, or community communication. Furthermore, Nurses can also publish the evidence in journals and periodicals such as nursing newsletters.

          Strategies to Collect & Share Evidence

The use of social media to share the evidence is effective because it continues to multiply the number of users. The aim of sharing evidence aims to enable policymakers to arrive at an informed decision.  For instance, nurses can publish messages about the effects of tobacco smoking on social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to reach out to as many people as possible. Policymakers can also cite the evidence provided when making decisions. Besides social media, professional nurses can also utilize mass media platforms such as radio and televisions to communicate vital information.

The aim is to ensure that policymakers base their decisions on the most trusted sources before making vital decisions.  Currently, policymakers worldwide are relying on what is broadcasted on national televisions concerning Covid-19 to make decisions.  For instance, the government relies on what professional healthcare workers announce on national and international TVs to institute appropriate measures (Ivey, 2018).

Another essential component of the mass media is the use of newspapers to share health information. For the longest time, newspapers such as New York Times and others have been reliable sources of vital information, including healthcare information (WHO, 2021). The good thing with using newspapers to share the evidence is that they can preserve it for future references. This is the same case when flayers are used. Another reliable strategy professional nurses can use is to publish the information in their periodic journals.  Journals are not only used by policymakers but can provide reference to other researchers in the same field (Mason et al., 2020). Nurses can also utilize their newsletters. A newsletter is also considered a trusted source by policymakers and other interested parties.

strategy nursing professionals can use the community

Another influential strategy nursing professionals can use the community or organizations. This strategy involves educating organizations such as schools on one on one basis. Nurses can also target specific groups based on their geographies, such as a specific village or town. This strategy is also very effective because professionals can speak directly to policymakers.  They can also focus on a particular class of people, such as people of a specific occupation. The channels employed can include community-based media such as local radio shows, organization newsletters, workplaces, health fairs, community-based activities, school meetings, and worship places (WHO, 2021). Another essential strategy is the use of interpersonal communication. Policymakers seeking informed and professional advice can approach healthcare professionals for interviews to derive direct evidence necessary for decision making. One on one discussion with such professionals is considered the most trusted healthcare communication strategy.

microbe type Bacteria

microbe type Bacteria

This project is all about communicating information about microbes to a lay audience, an audience with no extensive knowledge of a specific topic. Anytime you present information, whether in a formal presentation or a conversation with one of your patients, it is important to consider who you are talking to. Your explanation of complex material will need to be adjusted to fit your audience. While you may be able to talk to your colleagues in abbreviations and jargon specific to your job, talking to patients or your family and friends requires a different approach.

For this part of the project, you’ll be adding information about your microbes to your existing projects from part 1. You need to explain all of the required concepts (included in the rubric) clearly to your audience of non-microbiologists. If you say, Bacteria X is a facultative anaerobic mesophile that replicates through binary fission to someone who has never taken a microbiology class, they are probably going to be confused and overwhelmed by what you are saying, so keep this in mind when working on your project. Use analogies or illustrations to help you communicate information about your chosen microbes.

Step 1: Gathering Information 

You need to make sure you are including all of the relevant information per the rubric (found on the Communicating Microbiology Project Part 2 assignment submission page). A successful project will cover all of the following information. To receive full credit, you will need to explain what the information you are including means, rather than listing terms like facultative anaerobe and mesophile that aren’t common knowledge. You should certainly use these terms, but they will require an explanation.  

Required information for each microbe type Bacteria/Eukaryotes/Viruses
