Health and Medica Ethical Issues in Nursing Report

We will be discussing ethical issues in your final assignment. Your paper is NOT in SOAP format. You will be discussing the issue and how you would address the issue as an advance practice nurse. Choose on of the scenarios below and provide detail on what information you would still need to know, and rationale on how you would handle the situation.

Scenario #1: The parents of a 5-year-old boy have accompanied their son for his required physical examination before starting kindergarten. His parents are opposed to him receiving any vaccines.

Scenario #2: A 49-year-old woman with advanced stage cancer has been admitted to the emergency room with cardiac arrest. Her husband and one of her children accompanied the ambulance.

Based on the scenarios provided:

• Select one scenario, and reflect on the material presented throughout this course.
• What necessary information would need to be obtained about the patient through health assessments and diagnostic tests?
• Consider how you would respond as an advanced practice nurse. Review evidence-based practice guidelines and ethical considerations applicable to the scenarios you selected.
