Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario you selected on all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.

As a nurse practitioner, you prescribe medications for your patients. You make an error when prescribing medication to a 5-year-old patient. Rather than dosing him appropriately, you prescribe a dose suitable for an adult.

  • Consider the legal and ethical implications of prescribing prescription drugs, disclosure, and nondisclosure.
  • Review the scenario assigned by your Instructor for this Assignment.
  • Search specific laws and standards for prescribing prescription drugs and for addressing medication errors for your state or region, and reflect on these as you review the scenario.
  • Consider the ethical and legal implications of the scenario for all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.
  • Think about two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your ethically and legally responsible decision-making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose any medication errors.

what role might culture play in types of myths about sex?

 

  • Definition & Discussion of Motivation: (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
    1. Complete the “Sex Quiz” which is linked on the main page of the module. This survey assesses individual awareness of sexual myths common in Western cultures.
    2. Keeping in mind that all items are actually false, how might the culture which you are from affect one’s reaction and subscription (i.e. belief in) to the myths assessed in this survey.
    3. Were there specific items which you were surprised are considered false? Which ones? Why?
  • Cultural Elements & Motivation: (this criterion should take approximately 1-2 paragraphs to address)
    1. Briefly discuss and define sexual motivation and sex culture.
    2. Again, what role might culture play in types of myths about sex? Clearly define, explain, and discuss all terms.
    3. Clearly link and explain the cultural elements of individualistic vs. collectivist societies which may accommodate the perpetuation of sexual myths.
    4. Are certain cultures more or less vulnerable to holding inaccurate views about the sexual behaviors assessed in the survey.
