Re:Topic 4 DQ 2
The protection of human subject is the utmost necessity in research and must take precedence over all other contributing factors.  Children are a vulnerable group and legally, anyone under the age of 18 years must have guardian consent to take part in any research.  Furthermore, the IRB “must consider potential benefits, risks, and discomforts of the research of children- to assess justification and inclusion,” (HHS.gov, 2016).  Every circumstantial situation must be evaluated including: participant beneficence, potential risks, disease status and society as a whole (HHS.gov, 2016).

Guidelines set forward for minor individuals involved in a protocol must be determined by the IRB from 4 potential categories: (HHS.gov, 2016).

-Research not involving greater than minimal risk to the children.

-Research involving greater than minimal risk but presenting the prospect of direct benefit to the individual child subjects involved in the research.

–Research involving greater than minimal risk and no prospect of direct benefit to the individual child subjects involved in the research, but likely to yield generalizable knowledge about the subject’s disorder or condition.

–Research that the IRB believes does not meet the conditions of 45 CFR 46.404, 46.405, or 46.406,(listed above) but finds that the research presents a reasonable opportunity to further the understanding, prevention, or alleviation of a serious problem affecting the health or welfare of children.

In summary, while the parent or guardian obtains the consent of the child it is important to involve the child (depending on age and mental-status) in decision-making and obtain assent before moving forward.

 

Original Question: Conducting research projects while ensuring the protection of human subjects is necessary. What are some methods to protect personal rights of someone in one of the groups that is labeled as vulnerable? Justify your rationale

Social Justice Project, Part 3: Advocacy Plan/Presentation (20 percent of final grade)

Submit with your originality report from Turn-It-In

Assignment Information

You have made it to the final part of the social justice project. In this part of the project, you will present a plan to politically advocate on behalf of the population plagued with the health care problem you identified in part 1 of this project. You will be taking this opportunity to propose the evidence-based solutions that you identified in part two of the project.

Of the many possible ways to advocate, you will choose those strategies that you feel are most appropriate and that will be most effective. This is the most exciting part—very similar to developing a plan of care once you have assessed your patient and decided on which evidence-based interventions to deliver!

Completion of this assignment will demonstrate your achievement of the following course outcomes:

  • 5. evaluate the political advocacy process to identify opportunities for nursing professional involvement
  • 6. delineate strategies that nurses can use to engage in advocacy for health care policy to support equity, access, affordability, and social justice for consumers and in support of the nursing profession

Discussion: Foundational Pioneers in Informatics

The smartphone has become an increasingly valuable tool in the field of medicine. Because of the phone’s small size and powerful computing capabilities, doctors, nurses, and researchers use these smartphones in a wide range of areas. For example, smartphones can be used as an electrocardiogram, to perform ultrasound procedures, to track patient progress, and as a decision support tool for generating diagnoses (Ozdalga, Ozdalga & Ahuja, 2012). Like most innovative technologies, the smartphone and its applications are a result of many years of incremental research and development.

In this Discussion, you focus on those who set the stage for the field of informatics today. By Day 1, your Instructor will assign you one of the pioneers in the field of informatics to research.

Final Presentation: Part I

Look ahead at the Final Presentation directions in Week Five. The assignment this week is Part I of that presentation. For this assignment, Part 1, you will provide an overview of the U.S. healthcare system. Follow the instructions below to complete this part of your Final Presentation:

Introduction: Include a title slide. Next, include an introductory slide where you will identify yourself and describe the nature of this presentation.
Part I (of the Final Presentation): The U.S. healthcare system. Define the U.S. healthcare system by addressing the following:

    • Describe the history of the U.S. health care system. Include at least three of the revolutionary factors (e.g., the teacher’s union in Dallas, Texas; The American Medical Association; Civil War, first Marine Hospital, etc.). Chapter two in our textbook discusses the evolution of our healthcare system and is a good resource for this part of the presentation.

 

    • Identify at least one major development from each of the following: financial, legal, ethical, regulatory, and social [e.g., consumer demand] that transformed the system into what it is today. You may want to revisit the healthcare timeline.

 

  • Differentiate the stakeholders and their roles (e.g., healthcare professionals, clients [patients], health insurance organizations, government,colleges, and health care agencies
    • Include the positive and negative contributions of how they affect the health care system).

Creating Part 1 of the Final Presentation for the Week 3 Assignment
Part 1 of the Final Presentation must:

    • Be 5 to 7 slides (excludes the title slide and reference slides) and be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

 

    • Be presented using Microsoft PowerPoint slide presentation.  You have a choice of one of the following options for adding the narrative to your presentation. Option 1 is using voice or Option 2 is adding speaker notes to each slide.
        • Option 1: Recording your voice on each slide. You can view the tutorial using this link: adding and recording voice to each slide.You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement and Privacy Policy. If you choose this option, you must include your APA formatted citation in the speaker note section of the PPT as well.
          • Note: if you use the voice option, make sure your recordings are clear and concise. It is also important to know that adding voice narrations that are too lengthy and adding graphics may cause your PPT file to be very large (megabytes). You may have trouble loading it to Waypoint. Revisions may be necessary if this occurs.
        • Option 2: Using speaker notes for each slide in the PPT. You can review the tutorial using this link: adding speaker notes to your presentation. You can also click on the following links to view the Accessibility Statement , and thePrivacy Policy.
          • Speaker notes are the typed notes that appear below the slide that complement the presentation slides. Whereas the slides will have short bulleted items, the speaker notes will be more detailed. They are essentially what the presenter would say during the presentation to explain each of the bulleted points on the slide. Therefore, it is important that the speaker notes are concise and detailed when explaining the bullet points.

          insert notes

        • It is recommended that PowerPoint Slides contain no more than five bullet points and should not contain more than 5 – 7 words each. Do not type paragraphs or long sentences on the slide. The information that explains each bullet point is conveyed via speaker notes or by recording your voice to each slide.
      • It is required that the Microsoft PowerPoint presentation include the use of a voice or speaker notes. If you choose to use the voice capabilities within PowerPoint, you must include your citations in the speaker notes for each slide.

 

 

    • Include a title slide with the following:
      • Title of the presentation
      • Student name
      • Course name and number
      • Instructor name
      • Date submitted

 

    • Address the sections in the order outlined above (Introduction, Part I, II, III, and IV).

 

    • Present the issues with critical thought.

 

    • Use at least two scholarly sources (none of which should be media commentary, at least one should be from the Ashford University Library).

 

    • Document all sources in APA format (including graphics, charts and pictures that may be used within the presentation).Wikimedia Commons is a recommended source for creative commons images (to view the privacy policy, click here).

 

  • Include a separate reference slide formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
