Nursing Ethics Scholarly Paper
Purpose:
The purpose of this activity is to provide the student with the opportunity to develop skill in the preparation of a scholarly paper on a subject of personal interest related to the course content.
A paper about a legal/ethical issue that affects the advanced practice nurses role (if possible something that affects specifically the nurse administrator role). Also include the affect/effect that technology has on the issue. For example, the paper could be about the legal aspects of an issue that is affected by technology/informatics (futility of care due to the availability of ventilators) with a viewpoint of the ethical ramifications and how one might solve any conflicts that might occur for an advanced practice nurse (nurse administrator role).
Directions:
1. Select a subject of interest related to this course and write an 8 page paper. One of the purposes of this paper is to look at the issue from the effect/affect of technology/informatics.
-Ethical issue
-Technology/informatics implications on the issue
-Healthcares current state of dealing with the issue
-Suggestions for ways to deal with the situation in the future in light of technology/informatics
2. Review the literature on the subject so that there are ample references (at least 8) for the paper from the current nursing/professional literature (mostly US literature please).
3. APA format, title page and reference page.
