Discuss an ethical issue that you encountered in your practice area (either directly or you learned of it occurring) and explain how the issue was addressed. Was it addressed appropriately? How would you recommend that it would have been handled differently? If you have not encountered one, create a brief case study of an ethical issue. Then describe the scenario and how to best handle it. Please Do NOT provide the name of the agency or any other identifying information.

Post your initial discussion by 11:59 PM ET on Thursday. Posts are a minimum of 250 words, scholarly written, APA formatted (with some exceptions due to limitations in the D2L editor), and a minimum of 2 references (which may include the course textbook).

This week our focus will be on analyzing the evidence to create a 6- 7 slide PowerPoint.

Some recommendations on how to set up your PowerPoint slideshow to ensure I will be able to accurately identify and evaluate all rubric criteria.

Please include the following slides.
Note: The Title page slide and Reference page slide do not count in total number of slides.

Title page slide
Name first slide: Clinical issue
Name second slide: PICO(T) question & Four research databases
Name third slide: Description of the Level of Evidence for Article 1

Name fifth slide: Description of the Level of Evidence for Article 3
Name sixth slide: Description of the Level of Evidence for Article 4
Name seventh slide: Explanation of Strengths for using Systematic Reviews

Discussion Week 4

Professional nursing practice exists within a broader social and healthcare system context. Nurses have a social contract with society that includes providing safe, ethical, and culturally responsive care while advocating for patients and communities. Understanding cultural competence, access to care, and emerging societal trends allows nurses to address health disparities and promote equitable healthcare. In addition, knowledge of healthcare delivery systems and organizational theory helps nurses understand how healthcare institution’s function and how leadership, structure, and collaboration influence patient outcomes.

For this discussion, reflect on the role of nurses within the healthcare system and society and address the following questions:

1. Explain the concept of the social contract in nursing and discuss how it shapes the professional responsibilities of nurses to patients and society.
2. Discuss the importance of cultural competence and cultural humility in nursing practice. How do these concepts contribute to improving patient-centered care and reducing health disparities?
3. Analyze the issue of access to care and identify one societal factor that may influence healthcare access for certain populations.
4. Describe one societal trend (such as aging populations, technological advancements, or increasing chronic disease) that is currently influencing healthcare and nursing practice.
5. Explain how organizational theory can help nurses understand healthcare delivery systems and improve collaboration, leadership, and patient outcomes within healthcare organizations.

Please use the submission requirements for all the BSN classes discussions.

Submission Requirements:

• Your initial discussion post must be a minimum of 500 words.
