You are approached by a 3^rd year health sciences student who is trying to recruit you to participate in a study of student mental health.  You are told that it involves an online survey, and covers topics like your current mental health, whether or not you access campus resources for mental health care, past experiences that may have been involved in the determination of your mental health experiences, and how your mental health relates to your academic outcomes during first year.

The 3rd year student is a research assistant on this project that is led by a new faculty member.  He is being paid to recruit students, and he tells you that he gets $25 for each successful recruit.

He explains the survey protocol in detail to you.  The protocol involves having you sign in to a web-based survey platform, provide a bit of information about yourself and your background, then answer questions about your mental health.  You will fill out the survey and provide your student ID number which will be linked with your academic record over first year (provided by the University Registrar), and also your health care visits to Student Health Services over the year (provided by Student Health and Wellness Services).  

Once the survey is completed you will receive a coupon for Tim Hortons, and also be eligible to enter a draw for a new iPad.  The study data will be kept by the student on his laptop, as well as the faculty members’ server.  Your name will be provided as part of the survey, but will never be used in any reporting.

In a one page response (maximum), please describe the types of questions you would ask the person recruiting you for study, in order to determine whether this research meets ethical standards.

consider You are a registered nurse (RN) in the intensive care unit (ICU) at your facility. The ICU has 24 beds, 1 nurse manager, 4 clinical nurse specialists (on a rotating schedule), and 6 charge nurses (on a rotating schedule). Typically, your unit has anywhere from 18-24 patients per shift. In order to climb the clinical ladder, you have been asked to create a new policy for your unit that will improve patient outcomes related to Readmissions.

1. Research best practices for improving Readmissions healthcare outcome.
2. Identify the best methods for implementing the best practices for Readmissions healthcare outcome
3. discuss the need for policy creation
4. elaborate on the role of the nurse manager, nurse leader and patient in the implementation process of this policy

A 54-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of intermittent, burning epigastric abdominal pain that was moderately severe in intensity. Her pain radiated toward her back in a band-like fashion. She also noted nausea and vomited once, with the vomit consisting of food particles. The patient denied having signs and symptoms of melena, hematochezia, or hematemesis. Her medical history was significant for peptic ulcer disease, and the patient had had multiple endoscopies in the past 6 years. It was learned that she had 2 clean-based antral ulcers 5 years prior and was started on lansoprazole, which she could not afford and so was switched to omeprazole, which she used intermittently. She also admitted to past use of an over-the-counter analgesic consisting of acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine. This patient should be discharged on what medication? Explain why you are choosing them. What would be Non Pharmacological approach for the treatment of this patient ?
