Focus on the comprehensive topic:

“Breastfeeding: Importance, Challenges, and the Nurse’s Role in Support and Advocacy”

This topic will cover the physiological process of breastfeeding, its benefits, challenges, the nurse’s role, a comparison with formula feeding, and the public health aspect. You may narrow down certain points for a more in-depth discussion if needed.

Research:

Utilize the librarys databases (e.g., PubMed, CINAHL, Medline) to find at least 5 peer-reviewed journal articles, books, or other credible sources. Use government and health organization websites (e.g., WHO, CDC) for supplementary information. All sources should be current (published within the last 5 years), unless you are using a foundational or landmark study in the field.

Tip: Use specific keywords or Boolean operators to refine your search and locate relevant studies.

Report Structure:

Write a 3-5 page report (excluding references) with the following sections:

1. Introduction:
2. Introduce breastfeeding and its significance.
3. Body:

• Physiology and Benefits: Describe the physiological process of breastfeeding and its benefits for both the infant and mother.
• Challenges and Barriers: Identify common challenges and suggest strategies to overcome them.
• Nurses Role in Breastfeeding Support: Explain the nurse’s role in promoting and supporting breastfeeding in various healthcare settings.
• Breastfeeding vs. Formula Feeding: Compare the nutritional content, health benefits, economic factors, and convenience of each feeding method.
• Public Health Aspect (Optional): Discuss how public health programs influence breastfeeding rates and outcomes, and how nurses contribute to these initiatives.

1. Note: Each section should be proportionately balanced in length. You may include or omit the “Public Health Aspect” section based on your chosen focus.
2. Conclusion:
3. Summarize key points and emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices.
4. Citations:
5. Follow APA format for in-text citations and the reference page.

Additional Notes:

• In-text citations: Ensure that in-text citations follow the APA format with the authors last name and year of publication (e.g., Smith, 2023). For direct quotes, include the page number (e.g., Smith, 2023, p. 45).
• Reference page: List all sources alphabetically by authors last name. Ensure the reference list follows APA format, including the author(s), year of publication, title, journal/book title, volume/issue (if applicable), and DOI or URL for online sources.
• Tip: For additional help with APA style, visit or consult your universitys writing center resources https://www.fnu.edu/write-right/.

Case box example 3.3 (page 57) of your ‘Leading and Managing in Nursing’ eBook:

In Estate of Travaglini v. Ingalls Health (2009), an 84-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with general complaints of not feeling well. At the time of his admission, the physician told the admitting nurse that the patient had dysphagia and must be observed whenever he was eating or trying to swallow liquids. At 10:00 that evening, an aide came to the patients room and left a sandwich for him to eat. Shortly afterward, the patients roommate heard the patient choking and summoned help.

At autopsy, it was confirmed that he had aspirated the turkey sandwich, and that this was the cause of the cardiopulmonary arrest that killed the patient. Though liability was found against the aide and her supervisor, the court also upheld a verdict of $500,000 against the hospital.

In your eBook, this client care scenario is viewed from a legal lens and how the UAP, the supervisor, and the hospital were found negligent. Because ethics and legal principles often overlap, consider the same scenario from an ethical standpoint. Answer the following questions, record your answers on a Word document, and upload it below. Be clear and concise in your responses. Your submission should be 1-2 pages in length.

1. In your own words, define beneficence and nonmaleficence. Discuss how they are similar, yet different, and give examples of each.
2. How were both of these ethical principles not upheld in the given scenario?
3. Rewrite the scenario of this client with dysphagia to uphold these ethical principles. Consider the rights of delegation. What could the provider, admitting nurse, and the UAP do differently to do good while also doing no harm? What provider orders should be included?

• Start your scenario with the same opening sentence: An 84-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital with general complaints of not feeling well.
