Health & medical question

In a piece of sentinel research Hambrick (1982) tested empirically the relationships between the environmental scanning activities of upper-level executives and their organizations’ strategic decision-making based on the premise that the scanning activity would support their strategic plans. The findings reflected that there were differences in the strategy–scanning link between the three industries studied and that the “differences may have been attributable to different dominant environmental requirements existing in each industry” (Hambrick, 1982, pg.159). More recently, another group of researchers discussed the merits of environmental scanning relating to strategic analysis for public hospital care with findings reflecting that scanning is essential to identify political, economic, social, technological, legal and environmental factors impacting strategic planning (Pourmohammadi et al, 2020). Each of these areas should be reflected in the organizational environmental scan and SWOT analysis if the goal is to comprehensively analyze the setting of care delivery and the community needs.

It has been implied that testing and validating of the scanning information is necessary to inform a strategic decision-making. What factors (listed above) would you think might be most important or essential to scan for the acute care hospital system within the current climate for healthcare delivery?

How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views?

Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease

Case Study Module 8
Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide evidence–based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.

CASE STUDY: Active Labor: Susan Wong
Mrs. Wong, a first–time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of abnormal alpha–fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy.
She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect or Down syndrome, but never followed through. Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal problem, so they felt they did not want this information.

Reflective Questions
1. As the nurse, what priority data would you collect from this couple to help define relevant interventions to meet their needs?
2. How can you help this couple if they experience a negative outcome in the birthing suite? What are your personal views on terminating or continuing a pregnancy with a risk of a potential anomaly? What factors may influence your views?
3. With the influence of the recent Human Genome Project and the possibility of predicting open spinal defects earlier in pregnancy, how will maternity care change in the future?
