• Watch the video linked below and answer the following questions.

1. What was the ethical moment?
2. Do you agree with what he did?
3. What would you have done?

• Please read the two discussions (the discussion includes the following 3 questions) below and write a 100 to 150 words respond for each discussion.

• The first discussion (3 questions):

1. The ethical moment is when the soldiers were told to lie about the death of their fellow soldier by their captain instead of telling the truth that it was due to an accident.
2. I do not agree with the decision to lie because I imagine the soldiers would feel extremely guilty and eventually the truth would come out and when it did, it would make the captain look like a terrible person. The soldiers have a million other things they are worried about and the last thing they should have to stress about is lying.
3. I would have told the truth because the soldiers are already having to deal with the loss of their friend and to lie would feel like a dishonor to him.

• The second discussion (3 questions):

1. The ethical moment is when Captain Winters decides to tell his men that they do not need to do another patrol across the river into enemy territory again, despite direct orders from the Colonel. Although the first patrol was “successful” in recovering two prisoners to question, the mission took the life of one of Captain Winters’ young soldiers. Winters told his men to lie and say that they were able to get across the river into enemy territory a second time but were unable to capture anymore prisoners this time, when in reality they got a full nights sleep.
2. I agree with Captain Winters’ actions to spare his soldiers’ and friends’ lives by not having them do another mission that could cost them more than reward them. Captain Winters and the soldiers did not agree with Colonel Sink’s orders, so Winters decided to give his men a break from horrific war action. Although Captain Winters defied an order from a superior, I believe it was the right thing to do considering the losses all of the men have suffered already.
3. It is hard to say what I would have done because I could not even fathom the amount of courage and bravery to even fight in such a brutal war. I think that I would try to do what Captain Winters did to spare my friends’ lives, especially from a mission that nobody agrees with except the braggadocios command of the Colonel who likes the idea of commanding a “successful” infantry unit.

As an advanced practice nurse, it is your responsibility to recommend appropriate treatment options for patients with cardiovascular disorders. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug therapy, advanced practice nurses must consider aspects that might influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes such as medical history, other drugs currently prescribed, and individual patient factors.

To Prepare

• Review the Resources for this module and consider the impact of potential pharmacotherapeutics for cardiovascular disorders introduced in the media piece.
• Review the case study assigned by your Instructor for this Assignment.
• Select one the following factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior factors.
• Reflect on how the factor you selected might influence the patient’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.
• Consider how changes in the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy.
• Think about how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan based on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes. Reflect on whether you would modify the current drug treatment or provide an alternative treatment option for the patient.

you will examine how patient factors may influence pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes of pharmacotherapeutics used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.  You also explore ways to improve drug therapy plans for cardiovascular disorders based on patient factors and overall health needs.
When writing your Week 2 Assignment, consider the following scenario:
Patient CB has a history of strokes. The patient has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Drugs currently prescribed include the following:
•     Glipizide 10 mg op daily
•     HCTZ 25 mg daily
•     Atenolol 25 mg po daily
•     Hydralazine 25 mg QID
•     Simvastatin 80 mg daily   
•     Verapamil 180 mg CD daily
Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines are fundamental to clinical practice, as they assist providers with clinical decision making.  I have attached some applicable guidelines below for your reference.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Explain how the factor you selected might influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes in the patient from the case study you were assigned.
• Describe how changes in the processes might impact the patient’s recommended drug therapy. Be specific and provide examples.
• Explain how you might improve the patient’s drug therapy plan and explain why you would make these recommended improvements.
