A)Stem cells have two important properties. First, they are able to reproduce themselves many times.

In your own words.Please give a response to each statement one for statement A and one for statement B. A response can be agree-disagree (why or why not). Or maybe anything you would like to add.

A)Stem cells have two important properties. First, they are able to reproduce themselves many times. Second, they can produce all the different cell types needed to make a human being, for instance heart cells, skin cells, nerve cells and so on. Stem cells can grow into brain cells, and as a result, have the potential to repair brain damage caused by neurological conditions, such as dementia (Alzheimer’s Society, 2020). Stem cell therapy for Alzheimer’s may be able to improve functional memory, regenerate neurons, improve overall functional recovery, and replace damaged cells with healthy cells (Cona, 2020). This would then potentially benefit the Alzheimer’s patient and their families by delaying the onset of the disease. Therefore, the patient wouldn’t lose their cognitive function and the family will be able to spend more time with their loved one and still remember them as how they were, not by their Alzheimer’s. While I see the ethical issues with this, I believe it is worth a shot. Why not try a therapy that can benefit the patient and their family.

B)The difference between disposing of embryos and other tissues is that embryos may one day become a life. Scott Gatz described it to NPR as feeling “as if our future children are showing up once a year to confront us” (Fraga, 2016). This is because they receive a letter from their IVF clinic once a year asking them to decide if the embryos should be stored, destroyed, donated to research, or donated to another couple. This is a hard choice to make for people in this situation. Destroying them is like killing future kids and donating them would mean that they no longer have access to embryos should they decide to have more kids later on. The same NPR article reports that many of these families come to see the embryos as human life, and some go so far as to have funerals for the embryos (Fraga, 2016). This is a complex issue that should be discussed more, it is hard to for these couples to decide what to do with the left over embryos and they should be better educated on what their options are in regard to this decision.

A hospital is an acute care short-term stay and emergency medical center that also includes medical departments such as, surgical, obstetrics, infectious disease, radiology, laboratory and mental health.

Scenario

You are the administrator of a medium-sized hospital. The Director of Human Resources has been summoned to an executive team meeting in an effort determine why an unusual number of nursing staff leaving for other employment. During the discussions, the Director of Nursing provides her thoughts re- garding why the nurses may be less productive and why some are departing. She states that the primary reason is salaries/benefits. A charge nurse thinks the reason might be working conditions, especially involving patient load in the various nursing units. Overall morale is low, which is adversely affecting pro- ductivity. This has also resulted in some patient quality outcomes discovered by the Continuous Quality Improvement team.

During the discussion, the Senior Director of Admissions shares some experiences she had with a for- mer employer--that the nursing staff tended to remain longer with the employer based on good working conditions, specifically in the area of learning new skills, obtaining additional certifications, licensure, and cross-training for other areas not usually assigned. She feels that these measures result in higher reten- tion and patient quality outcomes.

After the meeting, you meet with the Director of Nursing and Human Resources Director, who is also in charge of all training and development for the hospital. As the administrator, you consider developing
a small group to explore the feasibility of providing more skills development and training to your current nursing staff. Before implementing this directive, consider the following:

Question 1

How would you determine which skills, certifications, and licensure would be effective in retaining the current nurses?

Question 2

Is there a direct correlation between additional skills and retention and motivation of the nurses?

Question 3

How would you determine who would be provided the skills development? Are all skills for all nurses feasible?

Question 4

How would you determine if additional compensation would be required for trained nurses?

Question 5

How would you quantitatively determine the cost of this initiative?

Many families choose to place their elderly loved ones in this assisted living facility because it has a reputation as a caring and passionate provider of care throughout the United States. The facility has 225 efficiency apartments, furnished and equipped with the latest technology, in this segment of the health care industry. The assisted living facility administrator has provided some thoughts regarding the future of the facility, especially regarding some recently acquired survey results. Although most scores were very good, there seems to be a trend of some scores actually dropping, which causes concern. These lower scores seem to be associated with issues related to communications between the assisted living staff and resident family members, specifically among the Nursing Assistants, Registered Nurses, Social Services, and family members. Although the patients are providing high scores for their experiences, the families are more critical and thorough with the surveys.The assisted living administrator has done some research regarding the Arizona Health Care Assisted Living Accreditation Agency and discovered that the agency possesses a very highly touted program that will provide postmodern systems, processes, and procedures to ensure that the assisted living facility complies with the very highest standards, including refreshed criteria for caregivers, especially in the areas of communication and effective patient-family-caregiver protocols. The administrator also found the agency has an initial accreditation process that involves a comprehensive internal audit of all facility functions. Every department, including executive management, human resources, accounting, nursing, social services, dietary, grounds/maintenance, and others will be thoroughly inventoried, including their policies, procedures, and the review of all employee records. Once approved, the assisted living facility will be provided an initial accreditation. After one year, the assisted living facility will apply for reaccreditation on an annual basis. The executive staff, upon the assisted living administrator’s recommendation, has approved the initiative of gaining this high level of accreditation. The Vice President of Human Resources has been given the directive of pursing the accreditation. What type of accreditation does an assisted living facility need? What are the pros and cons for accreditation? What tools would you use to evaluate the and cons? What stakeholders would you include? How would you ensure your primary, secondary, tertiary stakeholders are informed?
