Thank you.

It will be graded for: 1-a clear thesis, 2-depth of analysis, and 3-grammatical accuracy.
For an answer in the A range:
Student answers all questions clearly and accurately; answers are well-developed and provide examples and appropriate analytical detail where necessary; answers are well-articulated, and are presented in full, grammatically correct sentences. Answers incorporate quotes and supporting material from text and includes parenthetical references to appropriate page numbers and documentation for outside sources.

Do not make any claim or argument without some supporting evidence based on quotations. You MUST cite the page numbers in parentheses after the citation from the book (whenever possible). Your answers should show your command of the text. Quotes should have relevance. Do not use quotes that are “toss-aways”-meaning you picked some quote, any quote, because you writing at the last minute.

Your grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph structure are part of your grade. I prefer you use 12 point font, 1″ margins, and single space to save paper. They MUST have an analytic component. No analysis means that your starting baseline is automatically 80 points, not 100.

I. Sites of Memory Prompt; Answer two questions.

3. Winter notes a number of artists and writers as carriers of the war’s “apocalyptic” vision. Which one of these artists or writers struck you the most, and why?

Case Study

Judie has been the nurse manager of her unit for the past ten years and is highly regarded by the hospital’s administration. For the past several months, however, she has been feeling more frustrated and less satisfied with her work because of staffing cuts and other institutional decisions related to managed care. Attending to patient needs has always been the most rewarding part of her job. However, recently she feels that she has been forced to overlook these needs and attend more to the needs of the organization. She considers leaving, but she has seniority, good benefits, and two children to support. She is also aware that her distress at work is affecting her family, because she carries a lot of the frustration home with her.

Respond with following headings:

1. Summarize the case and solution in the introduction and provided a conclusion.

Identify values evident in this situation.
Which of these reflect your personal values?
What conflicts might arise from these values?
If you were in Judie’s position, what beliefs, ideals, or goals would guide you in making the decision to stay or leave? Identify potential consequences of each choice.
What do you think Judie should do?

Until recently, the risk of criminal prosecution for nursing practice was nonexistent unless nursing action rose to the level of criminal intent, such as the case of euthanasia leading to murder charges. However, in April 1997, three nurses at the Centura St. Anthony Hospital, outside of Denver, were indicted by a Colorado grand jury for criminally negligent homicide in the death of a newborn. Public records show that one nurse was assigned to care for the baby. A second nurse offered to assist her colleague in caring for the baby. A third nurse was a nurse practitioner in the hospital nursery. Because the baby was at risk for congenital syphilis, the physician ordered that the nurses give 150,000 units of intramuscular penicillin, which would have required five separate injections.

In relation to other problems the same day, the baby was subjected to a lumbar puncture, which required six painful attempts. To avoid inflicting further pain, nurse two asked the nurse practitioner whether there was another route available for the administration of the penicillin. Nurse two and the nurse practitioner searched recognized pharmacology references and determined that intravenous administration would be acceptable. The nurse practitioner had the authority to change the route and directed nurse two to administer the medication intravenously rather than intramuscularly. Unrecognized by the nurses, the pharmacy erroneously delivered the medication, prepared and ready to administer, in a dose ten times greater than was ordered—1.5 million units. As nurse two was administering the medication intravenously, the baby died. The Colorado Board of Nursing initiated disciplinary proceedings against nurse two and the nurse practitioner, but not against nurse one. The grand jury indicted all three nurses on charges of criminally negligent homicide but did not indict the pharmacist (Calfee & Plum, 1997).

Respond to the following with these headings:

Identify what emotions are evoked as you consider the Colorado Board of Nursing case stated above?
Should the courts take into consideration the fact that the nurses’ error occurred because they wanted to avoid causing the baby unnecessary pain? Discuss your thinking.
Can you think of other occupations in which the consequences of unintentional errors have greater legal implications? Discuss your answer.
How should the nursing profession respond to this frightening new legal threat?
Which sections of the State Nurse Practice Act did the nurses violate

Ann is a seventy-seven-year-old grandmother. She has one daughter and three grandchildren. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with moderately advanced Alzheimer’s disease, which causes her to have periods of confusion, frustration, anger, and obsessive thinking. When speaking, she is uncertain and her speech patterns are choppy. Before her mental deterioration, Ann was a woman of love, intelligence, and patience. Realizing they were getting older, she and her husband, Frank, discussed their wishes should anything happen to them. She told Frank that if there was no chance of survival, she would not want to be hooked to a breathing machine. They never got around to filling any papers.

Frank is a sweet and sensitive man. His wife’s state frightens him. Ann’s love for him has been the focus of his life for sixty years. His urgent desire for the best care for Ann shows his devotion and love. Their daughter, Sarah, is a businesswoman. She is a hard worker and a good mother. She is forty-five, successful, and intelligent. Although she loves her parents dearly, she lives ten hours away. She regrets not seeing much of them, especially recently. Frank feels his role is to take care of Ann. He has spent the past year with her, watching after her, cooking for her, cleaning the home, and witnessing her deterioration. Finally, Ann is unable to walk alone safely and he finds he must have her admitted to a long-term care facility. He calls Sarah to come and help with the arrangements. After having Ann admitted to a local nursing home, both Frank and Sarah remember the pleading look in Ann’s eyes as they walk away.

After three weeks in the nursing home, Ann starts to cough and run a fever. She is seen by doctors and diagnosed as having pneumonia. She is transferred to a local hospital, where she is given intravenous antibiotics. Although the progress of her pneumonia is halted by the antibiotics, she stops talking and refuses to eat. The physician calls Frank to insert a feeding tube. Frank calls Sarah to ask what to do. They wonder, Is a feeding tube equivalent to a breathing machine? Would it be possible to allow Ann to lie there and die of starvation? Is that murder? What would she want? What is the right thing to do? (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2008).

Respond to the following with these headings:

Discuss the ethical decisions you would make.
Discuss the legal decisions you would make.
Explain, as a nurse, what advice would you give to Frank and Sarah.

Support your responses with examples.

Write a fully-developed essay based on your reading of In My Hands. The essay should include an introduction with a clearly defined thesis, three supporting paragraphs with specific examples from the text, and a strong conclusion. The essay should follow the conventions of Standard Written English and MLA format guidelines.

PROMPT:

Irene faces many obstacles throughout the book In My Hands, and yet she finds a way to overcome them and persevere. What is it about Irene’s character that enables her to survive? Choose three specific quotes from the book that reveal Irene’s personality and demonstrate the kind of person Irene was. Explain why each quote is especially significant or meaningful in the creation of her identity. Does the quote show a change in Irene from the beginning to the end of the book?

REMINDERS:

-Write in formal, academic prose! Meaning do not use “I” “me” or “you” in your writing (use “the reader” instead to refer to anyone who is reading the text)

-Do not use contractions in your writing! Don’t should be ‘do not’. Isn’t should be ‘is not’. Always spell things out – never abbreviate.

-Always stay in present tense when you are writing about literature. This is because works of literature are living texts, meaning the characters are always freshly doing the action of the story every time someone new reads the book. Even though we know the story took place a long time ago, we write about the story as if it is happening now.

-Check your formatting! There should be no extra space between paragraphs and you must have an MLA formatted header/heading/title

-You must follow the outline on the backside of this sheet to write your Writing Assessment 2. If your essay is not written following this outline, it will not pass

Create an engaging vocabulary game to be used to teach key vocabulary words to ELLs in your selected content area.
