Does Steeple have a successful claim against Bond? On what basis? Would Steeple have a successful claim against Eagen? On what basis? Does Lark have any successful claims against Knight? Against Bond? Do any of the students who fled into corners have successful claims and against whom?

/in /by

Jack Bond, a renowned self-defense instructor working for a local community recreation center, wished to give a real life learning experience to his students. Unbeknownst to his class, Bond decided that he would surreptitiously pay an actor to come in to the middle of one of his classes and attack Bond. Then, Bond could show his class how to defend themselves in a real-world setting.

The actor, Christie Steeple, showed up one evening to class. She entered via the side door and immediately began screaming at Bond that he was a “no-good man” and that “he was going to get what he had coming to him.” She then charged at him and began to choke him.

As he was being choked and was about to demonstrate his self-defense tactics, one of his students, Kelly Knight, ran forward and attempted to stab Steeple with a pen in an effort to protect her teacher. Unfortunately, because Knight is new to class, she had bad aim and missed Steeple – striking another student, Larry Lark, in the leg. However, Bob Eagen has been a member of the class for months. He used a manipulative technique to throw Steeple down to the ground and while doing so broke her arm.

As Bond feared, several students did not know how to react to what they perceived as an actual attacker. They cowered in fear in corners screaming and sobbing and required months of intensive counseling after the incident in order to regain their confidence.

Sadly, one of the students, Sandy Slep, was so devastated after watching what she believed was an actual attack that she fled the building. She sprinted across the street and was struck by a car – killing her instantly.

Additionally, analyze the following scenarios:

  • Does Steeple have a successful claim against Bond? On what basis?
  • Would Steeple have a successful claim against Eagen? On what basis?
  • Does Lark have any successful claims against Knight? Against Bond?
  • Do any of the students who fled into corners have successful claims and against whom?
  • What claims revolve around Sandy Slep and against whom?

Lastly, be sure to analyze what types of damages would be awarded in successful claims and why those damages are appropriate.

Identify an outcome of nursing practice in your area of practice that can be improved. For example, if you work in home health, you may identify that throw rug use by fall risk patients is too prevalent. You may be able to use the problem that inspired the theory concepts that you developed in week two.

Identify the concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that could represent or include the outcome. In our example, the outcome would be the changes in self through the change in the patient’s floor covering practice. Identify a practice that can be changed or implemented that may influence the outcome. Identify the concept in Watson’s Theory of Caring that includes the practice.

In our example, the practice could be to improve the understanding of fall hazards through the engagement in a teaching-learning experience, one of Watson’s Caritas Processes. Identify exactly how these two concepts will be measured with their operational definitions. Develop a proposition between the two. Present your outcome in an APA formatted paper meeting the University’s standards for a written assignment.

Who owns the Ogallala Aquifer?
n Describe the Aquifer.
n Briefly highlight the depleting status of Ogallala Aquifer.
n Address some of the following questions in your write-up.
– Should we limit pumping?
– How should we set limits to how much can be pumped by each party?
– Should we estimate how much has been pumped in the past and assign responsibility for depletion, or should we start from a blank slate?

Describe relevant theories that support inter-professional collaborative practice. Examine a patient centered protocol/policy at the facility where you practice that incorporates evidence-based practice and possibly a theoretical framework (theory of nursing).

/in /by

The purpose of Module C-Part II is to allow students an opportunity to assess an existing hospital or clinical policy/protocol by using an existing nursing theory. This short assignment is completed using the Module C Part II template with an emphasis of incorporating nursing theory into protocols/policies existing within facilities.

Evaluate a patient-centered clinical protocol or policy using evidence-based practice and a nursing theory.
Describe relevant theories that support inter-professional collaborative practice.
Examine a patient centered protocol/policy at the facility where you practice that incorporates
evidence-based practice and possibly a theoretical framework (theory of nursing). This is an assignment that is contained within a template format( see red template attachment above).

 

We strongly discourage students from using Nightingale as well as Henderson’s theories for this assignment. For this to be meaningful and useful in your clinical settings, we want you to use a contemporary nursing theory. Your textbook has many to choose from!

Questions for Consideration: Answer these within the template in the designated columns of the assignment.

A. Does this sample policy incorporate a theoretical framework (nursing theory)?
B If so, which one? Is it appropriated applied? Could it be improved? 100 words minimum.These two questions are clearly answered: Why is this a good choice of theory? How does the theory apply to this policy?
C. If not, what ONE nursing theory could be incorporated and why? 100 words minimum. These two questions are clearly answered: Why is this a good choice of theory? How does the theory apply to this policy?
D. How would you re-write this policy/protocol using ONE nursing theory (either the same one only with stronger influence (if one is present), or a different one, if one is present) or the one suggested in part C if not present currently? Focus on incorporating 3 specific theory concepts/terms/phrases into the policy. Make changes directly into the policy as noted in the template. Any nursing theory concept/term/phrase added needs to be cited, briefly defined and clearly highlighted. To do this thoroughly, we are looking for 70 words minimum with rationale as to why you are adding this specific section. You will do this twice, in two different sections of the chosen policy, and as noted in the template.
