As a nurse, ensuring proper identification of your clients is a top priority safety issue. QSEN and the National Patient Safety goals put client identification high on the list of safety precautions. Using appropriate strategies, such as evidence-based tools and checklists, can add to the value of measurement of certain client conditions that will lead to quality care. Nurses play a role as a change agent when necessary, to improve nursing outcomes and increase job satisfaction.
Post an example of RN experience(s) with safety issues, using checklists, and being a change agent. This can either be from a healthcare perspective, or in everyday life.

Summarize the case scenario in short form.
Amira is driving on a highway with her male partner, Charlie,
and their three-year-old daughter, Samantha. They are hit by a
drunk driver in a multi-vehicle accident. Ambulances quickly arrive
on the scene, and Amira and Charlie, both seriously injured, are
rushed to a nearby hospital in separate ambulances. Samantha, with
minor injuries, is taken in another ambulance to a children’s
hospital 10 KM away.
In the hospital emergency room Charlie’s vital signs are absent.
The trauma team tries to resuscitate him, but their efforts fail.
Amira, awake in the same hospital’s trauma room, is not aware of
her partner’s death. She asks about her family. At the same time,
her vital signs deteriorate because she has lost a lot of blood.
Her colour is pale and her lips are cyanotic. As a result of the
crash, one lung has collapsed, her breathing is labored, and she
also has sustained kidney damage. She urgently needs to have
surgery. Whether she will survive the surgery is uncertain. If she
does survive, she will be in an induced coma for a week to allow
her body to heal. Her physical status is unstable, and the nurses
and their colleagues fear that any further stress might seriously
impair her capacity to survive. She loses consciousness briefly and
then suddenly awakes and asks, “How is Charlie?” and “Where is
Samantha?” The nurses tell her that Samantha is well and at another
hospital. No one on the team wants to answer her Amira’s question
about Charlie. They are aware of the risks of telling her now. But
they are also afraid that she might die in the operating room
without knowing the truth about Charlie.

As a Department of Health and Social Services employee, draft a brief on the ethical issues related to statewide stay-at-home order and shut-down of all public activities. Research in retrospect what NYS has done in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Compare and contrast with approaches taken by other states, as well as the federal government.
*Address as many ethical considerations as you can think of. Address them from a pro and con perspective – in other words what ethical arguments favor or oppose each measure?
What are the ethical arguments in favor of and against state governments taking the lead in public health crises vs. some other entity, such as individuals, hospitals, or the federal government?

QUESTION 2
If you set up your initial review of the literature using the Matrix Method, you already have a start on the Matrix Indexing System. However, the indexing system differs from the Matrix Method. The Matrix Method is a strategy for acquiring, analyzing, and writing a synthesis of a review of the scientific literature. In contrast, the Matrix Indexing System provides a way of coping with all the information and documents that you use or create as a result of a review of the literature. In other words, the Matrix Indexing System gives you a way to create a manageable system in the afterlife of each review of the literature. This chapter explains how to create and use the Matrix Indexing System.
True
False
QUESTION 3
In preparing a manuscript to be submitted to a journal or for a report or thesis, there is an enormous savings in time and effort in being able to switch from one bibliographic style, such as the style for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in the medical field, to another style, such as that for American Psychologist. This capability alone is reason enough to put a reference management software package on your computer. Over time, however, these packages have developed additional features that are now put to use in the Matrix Indexing System.
True
False
QUESTION 4
Reference management software packages provide a link between electronic bibliographic databases, located in places like a biomedical library or on the Internet, and a reference library on your own computer. Reference management software such as EndNote or RefWorks uses the term reference library. In the Matrix Method, this is the same as the Documents folder.
True
False
QUESTION 5
Location labels describe where you keep your reprints or other source documents. These location labels provide a link between the references in your reference management software and the reprints in the Documents folders in one or more Lit Review master folders. In creating a standard list of location labels, the most efficient strategy is to make this list before you do a review of the literature or accumulate reprints in the Documents folder.
True
False
QUESTION 6
Location labels, together with reference management software, are the keys to managing an overwhelming amount of detail about pdf files, printed documents, or other materials accumulated in a literature review.
True
False
QUESTION 7
The advantage of storing all your reprints chronologically in a Documents folder within a Lit Review master folder and then keeping track of the references in your reference library using location labels is that you will be able to find these materials when you need them. Thus, you create an organized storage and filing system for your reprints, rather than a random collection of articles that you cannot access because you cannot remember what is there or how to locate the materials you need.
True
False
QUESTION 8
A typical scenario for an experienced scientist is when an extensive review of the literature is prepared as part of a grant proposal, and the Lit Review master folder is set aside during the period when the grant is reviewed. After the grant is awarded, the research begins, with new references identified and new source documents added in the Documents folder as they become available. Later, in preparing scientific papers about the results of the study, another thorough review of the literature is needed, probably with a more specific focus than for the grant proposal. The same Lit Review master folder can be used for these purposes: generation of the initial literature review for the proposal, a Documents folder for storing and adding reprints of source documents over time, an update of the Review Matrix, and the preparation of a new Synthesis for the literature review for the manuscript describing the results of a completed study. Over the same period of time, from grant proposal to publication of research results, this Lit Review master folder has kept pace with the researcher.
True
False
QUESTION 9
You need four tools to create a Matrix Indexing System: electronic bibliographic databases, reference management software, source documents downloaded in the Documents folder, and location labels.
True
False
QUESTION 10
Software packages designed to format references in research papers and reports have been available for approximately 15–20 years, and they can be used with a variety of computer platforms, such as Mac, PC, and Unix. They are also known as bibliographic management or citation management software. You can organize references to scientific papers, books, and other source documents cited in scientific or other academic publications and arrange them in the references section of a scientific paper according to your choice of bibliographic style—this is the reference management part of these software packages.
True
False
