Question: In the Visual Ability test a split-brain patient was shown an image inthe left visual field but could not name the object. Explain why andidentify the specialized functions that were discovered with regard tohemispheric lateralization. Consider some of the difficulties thesplit-brain operation causes and the strategies you would recommend tohelp a patient manage them. Was it ethical to do this study? Was itright to trade the suffering experienced by participants for theknowledge gained by the research?
The split-brain is a condition that results after the communicationbetween the two hemispheres of the brain has been hindered. The primarypathway through which to transfer information in our brains is thecorpus callosum. Severing the corpus callosumis referred to as a callosotomy and is a last resort to treat severeforms of epilepsy. The right and left hemispheres of our brain arespecialized to carry out different tasks. The left hemisphere is ableto process one channel of information at a timebut is used to put things in sequence. This allows us to do thingssuch as use language. The right hemisphere on the other hand canprocess multiple channels simultaneously allowing us to do a number ofthings such as process visual information. Whenthese two sides cannot communicate a number of problems may result.Be sure to address all aspects of the assignment in your initial post.

Issues in Neuroscience

In the 1940s it was established that disconnecting the two hemisphere of cerebral through dividingcorpus callosum reduced the effects of epilepsy among theepileptic patients. This was because the sectioning of the nerve fibresbridge which connected the two hemispheres did not interfere with theinterhemispheric processing. However tests carriedout on patients who had been operated reveal that there are dramaticeffects brought about by the disconnection. This problem is known as thesplit-brain brain syndrome and has some effects on the patientscognitive skills.
Patients suffering from this syndrome are unable to verbally name anobject that is placed on their left hand side if their eyes are closed.This is despite the fact that they can tell an object placed on theirright when their eyes are closed. However if the object is placed amongmany items and placed on the patients left hand he or she can easilyselect the item from the other objects. Thisproblem is brought about by the fact that the left hemisphere hasaccess to speech something that the right hemisphere does not haveaccess to. This syndrome is caused by the fact the splitting of thebrain makes it unable to coordinate its activities. Theright hand part of the brain is unable to know what its left part isdoing whereas the left part is unable to know what the right hand partof the brain is doing (Plotnik & Kouyoumjian 2011).
To control this condition patients should pay a lot of attention towhat they do. This stems from the fact that the two parts of the braindo not coordinate in their operations which makes it hard for one partof the brain to understand what the other part is doing. In this casethrough paying attention the patient will be able to coordinate theactivities of both parts of the brain.
Doing this experience was ethically right if the identity of the personthe experiment was conducted on was not revealed. This is becausethe experiment was aimed to find out ways of helping the other patientssuffering from this problem and not for the benefit of the peopleconducting the experiment.

Hi June
You provide useful information about the limitations of the split brainindividual. Could you talk more specifically about how you would assistthis person? Also aside from maintaining confidentiality are thereany other potential ethical issues?

Amanda-
First of all I hope you are doing better! I’m so sorry to hear that you have walking pneunomia. It can
be so tricky because you don’t think that your that sick until you go to the doctor and he orders
you to stay home from work for the next 3 weeks!
I really enjoyed reading your posting and wanted to ask you about your statement;
To control this condition the patient should pay attention towhat they do. This stems from the fact that the two parts of the braindo not coordinate in their operations which makes it hard for one partof the brain to understand what the other partis doing. In this case through paying attention the patient will beable to coordinate the activities of both parts of the brain.
Would you please explain what you meant by through paying attention.If a patient has a split-brain procedure and it is an acutedisconnection the patient is going to be struggling with many differenttypes of coordination;
When the corpus callosum of a right-handed left-hemispheredominate patient is sectioned there often follow mild akinesiaimperviousness and mutism as well as competitive movements between twohands. There are left-hand apraxia to verbal command left-armhypotonia well coordinated but repetitive reaching groping orgrasping with the left hand and
bilateral Babinski responses. Symptoms vary across patients and reflectedema from retraction (of one hemisphere to allow surgical approach) aswell as diaschistic shock to both hemispheres due to the radicaldisconnection. It is suggested by some that completecallosotomy (section of the corpus callosum alone) in cases wherespeech and manual dominance are in opposite hemispheres may result inprolonged loss of spontaneous speech (Bogen Zaidel & Zaidel 2014)
What would be your suggestion to the patient about how to best work withtheir new set of symptoms (post-op) so they can better understand howto achieve this control?
Please take good care of yourself!

Application 1: Nursing Informatics Pioneers
One of the major drivers in recent health care reform legislation is the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act’s (ARRA) HiTech Incentive. This act, passed in 2009, earmarked $22 billion for the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), with a goal of 100% adoption in all practice settings by the year 2014. The HiTech Act provides an example of the pivotal role that health information technology plays in the delivery of quality health care services. Yet, health information technology is a relatively new field. This Application Assignment provides an opportunity for you to examine the contributions of pioneers in this arena and consider how their contributions have influenced health informatics and nursing practice today.
To prepare:
• Visit the AMIA Video Library 1: Nursing Informatics Pioneers webpage listed in the Learning Resources.
• Review the biographies and video presentations of pioneers who are of interest to you, or may hold a position that you aspire to achieve.
• Select two nursing informatics pioneers and conduct further research on their contributions.
• Consider how their contributions have influenced health information technology and nursing practice today.
Write a scholarly 3- to 4-page paper comparing two nursing informatics pioneers in APA format with a minimum of 4 references from the list below which include the level one headings as numbered below:
1) What are the professional accomplishments of each individual?
2) How have their contributions influenced nursing practice?
3) How have their contributions shaped the field of nursing informatics?
4) What lessons can you take away from their experiences?
5) What skills or ideas demonstrated by these leaders might you apply to your professional practice?

Hi Everyone!
Joey Sanchez-
a. Being that Joey is four years of age, born testing positive for crack cocaine, he should be receiving some sort of support from state aide. Social services are aware of his mother’s addiction and have placed him in the custody of his grandparents who are Mexican natives. If Joey is not exceeding in the norm of his developmental stages, I feel that it would be social services to keep up on Joey’s developmental progression. In my opinion, Joey should be in a pre-school program. The developmental milestone for Joey’s age are that he should be able to know all the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make. He should be able to identify the difference between and word and a sentence and know that you read from left to right, and be able to pay attention to detail and retell stories, but every child, especially Joey, develops in their own unique ways.
b. Being born with an addiction to crack cocaine, could definitely delay his physical, emotional and intellectual development. Joey has experienced so much for a child of his age. The loss of his mother, growing up in an environment where there is a language barrier, the effects of his addition as an infant; these factor can all have an effect on Joey’s wellbeing. It would be normal for Joey to have a stronger attachment towards the family in which he is living with.
c. As a social worker, I would consider all that Joey has been through since infantry. I would definitely be want to know if he is /or may be experiencing developmental delays. I would first have him tested by a neurologist. This would be the only concrete way I would know if there is any damage to the brain due to his mother’s addition. I would also make sure that his grandparents, Uncle Alejandro, as well as his mother, were included in the initial consultation. This would further me to understand the current wellbeing of Joey.
d. Alejandro is a definite strength I see as a positive influence in little Joey’s life. Beside his grandparents, Joey spends a lot of quality time with his uncle. Alejandro is very intelligent, and he may be able to pick up on certain developmental concerns with Joey that his parents cannot comprehend due to their different cultural backgrounds.
Thank you for listening. ~Renée
