Description
This assignment have 2 discussions with specific instructions. They should include 250-300 words and 1 reference each one and they both need 2 peer responses of 150 words and 1 reference.
Discussion 1: Select a state or federal law or regulation related to patient safety that has been implemented within the last five years requiring hospitals or any other health care organizations to change the way they manage the delivery of care. Discuss the changes that have occurred because of this law or regulation.
Additionally, discuss the technology associated with either your selected law/regulation or a similar one. Are there ethical dilemmas that have resulted from technology changes when delivering care to patients or patient safety? Explain the dilemmas and how they might be resolved.
Please keep in mind that the law or regulation mentioned has been implemented in the last 5 years. All instructions needs to be addressed.
Discussion 2: Evidence-based practice is extremely important in nursing. Throughout your master’s program, you will complete research on various topics. Knowing how to construct a strong problem statement and complete a critical analysis of the available information to write a literature review is essential.
This week, you will write a problem statement and perform a literature review in preparation for your ethical issues debate presentation. Share your problem statement in this discussion so that you can review each other’s work and provide peer-to-peer feedback. Also, describe what you think are the most important learning takeaways from the literature review resources you reviewed.

Week 5 Discussion Question 2 Sample
Class,
I know you do not see each other’s discussion question until you post your own. Therefore, I am providing a sample and would like you to follow this format when answering.
You may ask yourself why is a problem statement so important. Well, “A problem statement is a statement of a current issue or problem that requires timely action to improve the situation. This statement explains the barrier the current problem places between a functional process and/or product and the current (problematic) state of affairs. This statement is completely objective, focusing only on the facts of the problem and leaving out any subjective opinions. To make this easier, it’s recommended that you ask who, what, when, where and why to create the structure for your problem statement. This will also make it easier to create and read, and makes the problem at hand more comprehensible and therefore solvable. The problem statement, in addition to defining a pressing issue, is a lead-in to a proposal of a timely, effective solution.
Here is an example of how I would like your discussion question # 2 to be completed:
Carey, You are in luck, I am using your topic as the example so you just need to copy and paste to this week’s discussion question 2
Debate Assignment:
1 Should Healthcare be a right? For
So lets break it down: Let’s see how we use the 5 w’s : who, what, when, where and why to create the structure for your problem statement.
Literature review:
The “right” to healthcare, particularly in America (USA), is hotly debated and poorly understood because distinct arguments against are often seen as mutually exclusive of healthcare rights. Those arguments against are most often driven by economic concerns (and profit margins). Therein, the “right to healthcare” idea remains in a sort of political and economic limbo due to positions established outside of the philosophical and practical history of the human condition. In fact, in one point of view, it is the human condition of birth, life, sickness, and death that forms the requirement for healthcare and the power of a profitable healthcare delivery industry. Separate from this societal fact, the human condition is the characteristics, experiences, actions, and results from the fact of being alive, from simply being human. The argument against healthcare as a right because of economic proliferation is not altogether cruel or shallow but instead is not aligned with ethical distinctions that have long served humanity. Therefore, it is the intent of this treatment to provide an understanding of the depth of human ethics and what it is to be human in the light of Martha Rogers’s theory of the “Unitary and Irreducible Human” presenting a formidable albeit complex but well-defined settlement that healthcare is a right.
Additional insight:
“The right to health care has long been recognized internationally. Ironically, the origins of this right are here in the United States. Health care was listed in the Second Bill of Rights drafted by Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR). Sadly, FDR’s death kept this Second Bill of Rights from being implemented. Eleanor Roosevelt, however, took his work to the United Nations (UN), where it was expanded and clarified. She became the drafting chairperson for the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). That committee codified our human rights, including, at Article 25 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., the essential right to health. The United States, together with all other nations of the UN, adopted these international standards. ”
“Article 12 goes on to require that “states must protect this right by ensuring that everyone within their jurisdiction has access to the underlying determinants of health, such as clean water, sanitation, food, nutrition, and housing, and through a comprehensive system of health care, which is available to everyone without discrimination, and economically accessible to all.”
