Assignment: Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include title page, level headings, and a reference page. Case study #1  Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!” Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge? Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients? Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones. Discuss the strengths and limits to Leininger’s Theory. Case Study #2 Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff. Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role? How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment? How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment? Discuss the strengths and limits to Watson’s Theory. This paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1500 and 1750 words in length.

Hypothetical #1: You are the attorney for Good Asnew hospital. One day, the Compliance Officer for Good Asnew reveals to you that she has discovered the following facts about the hospital’s relationship with various members of the Starkla family: Pete Starkla, a physician, signed a six-month contract with Good Asnew to serve as a part-time medical director on an independent contractor basis. Pete’s contract specified the number of hours the physician was to work each week, and the fixed hourly rate to be paid to him, which the Compliance Officer confirmed was consistent with fair market value and was commercially reasonable.  During the six month term of his medical directorship, Pete routinely referred Medicare patients for inpatient services to Good Asnew.  Like her husband, Petra Starkla is also a physician.  Her only connection to Good Asnew was that sometimes she developed plans of care for Medicare patients admitted to Good Asnew.  Pete and Petra Starkla have a daughter, Patricia Starkla, who was one of five physician- owners of Good Asnew.  She did not refer patients for inpatient or outpatient services, but did periodically refer Medicare patients to Good Asnew’s emergency room for emergency services.  Finally, Patricia’s brother Patrick is the fourth physician in the Starkla family, and had been hired by Good Asnew as a part-time physician employee. Patrick’s employment contract with Good Asnew provided for Patrick to be paid 80 percent of the professional fee that Good Asnew received from Medicare for his services, plus a bonus equivalent to 40 percent of the professional fee for each procedure he performed in excess of 50 each month.  The employment contract further provided that the technical or facility fee portion of the outpatient services would be billed to Medicare by Good Asnew.  The Compliance Officer has again determined that the payments made to Patrick under the contract (including the bonus payment) were fair market value and commercially reasonable. The Compliance Officer now wants to know whether Good Asnew’s relationship with any of the Starklas violated the Stark Law. What is your conclusion and why?

Thomas Sowell, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, has stated that we “have difficulty understanding the strange way words are used by politicians and the media”.  We often think of a crisis in terms of an emergency, a situation of utmost urgency, maybe even life or death. According to Sowell, politicians use the term differently. They define a crisis as any situation they want to change. Discuss how you define a crisis. Is the United States having a health care crisis? Explain.

Remember to take into account their possible rationale for the practice.

For this week’s assignment, you will write a short paper that will eventually become the Introduction for Chapter 1 of your final proposal.  In this paper, your task is to explain your proposed research topic and develop the research question for your proposed study.  You also need to make it very clear what the purpose of your research is going to be. Your textbook readings will help you to get started, but additional research on your own may well be needed to learn more about how to develop the research question.  At a minimum, you must respond to the following questions within this paper: What is the problem and/or purpose of the research study? Does the problem or purpose statement express a relationship between two or more variables? If so, what is/are the relationship(s)?  Are they testable? Does the problem statement and/or purpose specify the nature of the population being studied? What is it? What significance of the problem, if any, has the investigator identified? This paper should be somewhat comprehensive (minimum 250-500 words, or 1-2 pages double-spaced, in length), supported and defended with references to academic sources, and formatted in accordance with APA requirements.  To assist you with getting started on this assignment, I have provided the attached documents. In addition,when submitting the paper for a review for plagiarism through Turnitin and no more than 20% of your paper should be directly quoted from an outside source.  I expect you to paraphrase, explaining what your sources had to say rather than quoting what they said.
