Minimum 6 sources on Ethical Theory NOT the “topic” (DO NOT USE Pp slides or videos).

Ethical arguments included in any chapter can be used in your papers. I am not looking for your opinion; I am looking for an ethical viewpoint. You can include any relevant personal experiences, graphs, charts, and any other information that may help you describe your moral dilemma. Be sure to include a minimum of 6 total sources using APA guidelines and include them in your references and citations to help you highlight your ethical theory application. Writing is expected to include critical thinking about how ethical theory and information from your references relate to each assignment topic.

A Professional Code of Conduct

This paper will include a set of five to ten principles (that you create) that, combined together, provide a code of conduct for YOU in the role YOU plan to fulfill in your professional life. You may focus on a code of conduct as the professional you will be or you may address a code of conduct you will share with your staff or co-workers in your professional role, i.e. owning a retail company, managing a veterinary clinic, etc. You should begin by researching codes of conduct that exist for people in your position, either by personally inquiring or by doing online research. You may use some of these in your code of conduct but you must add your own to put your stamp on it. The sources you find and use should be referenced appropriately.

Once you have established the codes of conduct, you must discuss what ethical theory (or theories) apply or reject each code. This should be the main focus of the paper. You must discuss at least 3 separate ethical theories. This means thoroughly defining each theory with at least 2 separate, credible sources and then step by step explaining how the codes apply or rejects an ethical theory.

Within the paper, you may also discuss the reasons for your code of conduct choices indicating the overall intent of your code in its entirety.

Summarize

Research today on nursing turnover rates are focused on the causes and prevention, but not many studies are geared towards hospitals dealing with the results of nursing turnover rates and shortages. (Havens et al., 2013, 928) Researchers Havens et al argue that increasing work engagement (vigor, dedication, and absorption) can help improve the quality of patient care which can be greatly impacted by nursing shortages. In addition, nurses in the workforce today can be categorized by generation which can help administrations design strategy for enhancement of work engagement. (Havens et al., 2013, 928-929)

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

Researchers Havens et al. conducted a descriptive, correlational quantitative study. Non-experimental, cross-sectional surveys were distributed to 747 nurses from 5 rural hospitals in Pennsylvania. Each participant was grouped according to their generational cohort (e.g. Veterans, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Generation Y). (Havens et al., 2013, 929-930) The results showed that work engagement differed throughout cohorts with Veterans as the most engaged and Generation X as the least engaged. (Havens et al., 2013, 935-936). NURS 389 Nursing Research and Evidence-based Practice Annotated Bibliography

Assess

Little research is done on nurse work engagement and how it may vary across generations, and this study adds knowledge to the existing literature on turnover rates and how to manage with it. In addition, more knowledge on dealing with work engagement in different generations provides a strategy to improve the practice environments at an administrative level. (Havens et al., 2013, 928) The tools that were used in this study included Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), Decisional Involvement Scale (DIS), Relational Coordination Scale (RCS), and Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index were used, and the Cronbach’s alpha showed they were valid; these tools were also used in previous studies by other researchers. (Havens et al., 2013, 930-931) The researchers all had PhDs which meant they knew how to conduct research. In addition, it included the common elements of a research article such as an introduction, methods, design, results, discussion and conclusion.

Unfortunately, research was conducted on only one state, which makes generalizing the evidence difficult; this is a limitation of the study. And, the level of education of the participants were not tested as well, which can be considered an extraneous variable. (Havens et al., 2013, 936) Overall, the researchers described and compared work engagement at a generational level, provided predictors of work engagement (e.g. tenure, practice environment, relational coordination), and advised on approaches to improve practice environment which is the main predictor across all generations.

The research article on work-to-family conflict by Chen et al. is very different from this article written by Havens et al. The previous article addressed the cause of turnover intention (job satisfaction, conflict at home), while the latter study focused on the solution (increase work engagement) in the presence of such an issue as high turnover rates. Nonetheless, both studies were conducted by respectable individuals, and their efforts provide more understanding on turnover rates that can be used in clinical practice.

Reflect

More perspective was gained by reading this article. Turnover rates seemed like an impossible issue, but with more engaged nurses the issue doesn’t seem as grave and this study helped me to understand that. Also, I was planning on discussing the different causes of turnover rates, but with more evidence I will be able to share the effect and possible interventions to high turnover rates; my project will be altogether more well-rounded. Overall, the direction of my project is slightly changed but nonetheless the same.

Previously, you proposed a Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation (FFDE) for a police department. In this assignment, you are to create a comprehensive, well-researched FFDE proposal based on the following scenario.

/in /by

Previously, you proposed a Fitness-for-Duty Evaluation (FFDE) for a police department. In this assignment, you are to create a comprehensive, well-researched FFDE proposal based on the following scenario.

Scenario:

A midwestern state police department recently responded to a barricaded active shooter incident where the shooter had confined himself and his family to their home. The negotiator was able to persuade the shooter to release his four young children but was unable to persuade the shooter to release his wife or surrender. The scenario resulted in the suicide of the active shooter in front of his spouse, who remained unharmed.

You are the mental health consultant for the police department. You have been assigned to conduct an FFDE on the negotiator, a thirty-five-year-old white male. The negotiator is a seven-year veteran of the force who has three small children and is going through a divorce. Although the officer appears to be handling the stress well, a closer examination reveals that the negotiator shows signs of depression and anxiety, which were not present prior to the incident.

Tasks:

Using at least two scholarly resources from the professional literature, investigate methods for developing FFDEs. The literature may include online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, and .gov).

Create a 6- to 8-page Microsoft Word document by addressing the following:

  • Design an appropriate fitness-for-duty assessment for the negotiator, which will be submitted to your client and the police department. The plan should, at a minimum, include the following:
    • Paperwork: You should review before you commence your evaluation. Remember that you may want to consider who is making the referral and why.
    • Psychometric instruments and a justification for using them.
    • Clinical semistructured interview questions that are sensitive to issues of culture and ethics. Consider developing rapport with the officer before you lead into the sensitive questions pertaining to the referral.
    • Effects of symptoms of depression and anxiety on an officer’s ability to perform his or her duties.
    • Any treatment, if recommended, for symptoms of depression and anxiety in a law enforcement officer.
  • Create a clinical fitness-for-duty written evaluation outline. Include aspects of cultural and ethical standards, valid and reliable instruments, and the recommendations of your evaluation, including, but not limited to, treatment recommendations and firearm retention.
  • Provide an introduction paragraph to the client and use section headers.

Apply APA standards to cite sources.
