Drug-Facilitated Sexual Assault

/in /by

Sexual assault includes any type of sexual activity to which an individual does not agree. Because of the effects of some drugs, commonly called date rape drugs, victims may be physically helpless, unable to refuse, or even unable to remember what happened. Jessica, a 16-year-old high school sophomore, expresses concern to the school nurse practitioner that she knows someone who might have had sex “without knowing it.”

How can the nurse practitioner answer these common questions? Reflective Questions

1. What are date rape drugs and how can a person be unaware that such a drug has been ingested?

2. What can you do to protect yourself?

3. What do you do if you think you have been sexually assaulted?

4. What can you do when someone you care about has been sexually assaulted?

5. What role does a nurse practitioner play in the care of sexually assaulted patients, particularly in the adolescent age group?

history of vascular surgical procedures

/in /by

An elderly Arab American Muslim man who spoke little English was admitted to the hospital for increasing pain at rest in his left foot. His foot was cool and pale, and he had a history of vascular surgical procedures. He had many chronic health problems, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He also had had a myocardial infarction and several cerebral vascular accidents. While in the hospital, he developed abdominal pain and underwent a cholecystectomy. This elderly grandfather had a large family, including a wife, nine children, and many grandchildren. His wife insisted that all family members visit him daily while he was in the hospital. The family wanted the man’s face turned toward Mecca (toward the east) while they prayed with him. They brought audiotaped passages from the Koran, which they played at his bedside. Other families who were visiting their sick relatives complained to the nurses that the Arab family was taking up the entire waiting room, and there was no place for anyone else to sit.

Question:

As a transcultural nurse, how might you use the three modes of culture care decisions and actions from the theory of culture care diversity and universality to provide culturally congruent care for this elderly man and his family and for the other clients and their families in the critical care unit?

Who is in the Medicaid coverage gap? Of the 2.2 million people who do not have coverage in these states, 60% are people of color. 28% are Latino and 28% are Black. Refusal to expand is an issue of justice and equity.

 

The graphic is a blue background with large text that reads, Black, Latino adults represent more than half the coverage gap despite representing just over a third of all adults in non-expansion states. There are two pie charts: Pie chart on the left is labeled Coverage Gap, and the breakdown includes American Indian or Alaska Native (1%), Asian or Pacific Islander (1%), Other (2%), Latino (28%), Black (28%), White (40%). Pie chart on the right is labeled All Non Elderly Adults and includes White (59%), Black (19%), Latino (17%), Asian or Pacific Islander (3%), Other (2%).

Applications Of Epidemiology

Applications of Epidemiology—A Case Study
Scenario
The situation at the regional Good Health Hospital has become overwhelming since the outbreak of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Ward 10 on the second floor. It appears that there are six cases of the disease. To better understand the situation, communication with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has revealed that this particular bacterium can be found in many everyday items. The CDC recommends that investigation begin in the hospital kitchens because E. coli can be transmitted via contaminated vegetables, as well as delicatessen meats such as salami and other cold cuts. The following table shows the number of cases identified so far:
CaseAgeGender123M221F315M442FAfter a meeting yesterday with the chief administrator, Joe Wellborn, it has been decided that the litigation issues with one of the patients may need further information to determine whether the patient was already symptomatic with the bacteria before admission. Research has indicated that hospitals operating in the Tampa Bay area have been known to have cases of E. coli contamination. This substantiates the need for further investigations by the county health department. Due to the severity of the cases and the potential for further spread, it is recommended that the hospital seek alternative vending services because the present suppliers cannot verify sanitation protocols for their products. In conclusion, the study done at Good Health Hospital has indicated that the E. coli outbreak was in fact caused by spoiled food from the cafeteria.
As a social science researcher working for the regional hospital, you are placed in charge of contacting the department of health (DOH) from your home state, as well as the CDC for statistical data on nosocomial diseases (diseases starting in a hospital) that frequently cause illness at your health care facility. Using information from both agencies, evaluate the data on common nosocomial diseases and compile a treatment contingency plan for dealing with the hospital infections.
Assignment Instructions
Write a 5–6 page evaluation report in which you do the following:
Analyze Good Health Hospital’s records and itemize recent nosocomial infections that occurred within the past year. In your report, categorize the different parameters (that is, person, time, place, ethnicity, and gender) used in the compilation of data into the information summative.
Propose at least six questions for the health care administrator at Good Health Hospital regarding potential litigation issues with infections from the nosocomial diseases. In the report, rationalize the logic behind the six questions.
Identify a targeted audience within Good Health Hospital and prepare an implementation plan based on a hypothetical meeting with the hospital health care administrator. Propose four steps that will be useful in the final implementation plan.
Suggest at least five recommendations to the department head based on the steps taken in the implementation plan. Provide a rationale for suggestions.
Design a safety protocol itinerary that must be placed in public access areas of the hospital, using these approved recommendations.
Use at least four peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment. These must come from journal sources. Note: Fact Sheets, Wikipedia, and nonacademic websites do not qualify as academic resources.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your faculty for any additional instructions.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment:
Design a safety protocol itinerary based on an implementation plan for addressing nosocomial infections in a hospital.
