Clinical Development

The post contains two assignments

1: Practice Development Clinical Project

Discuss each of the following 5 points and critically analyse the topic using evidence-based literature within the last 10 years:

o A description of the topic presentation (Topic chosen: Accurately complete patients’ pre-op checklists before taking patients into their operating theatres – Anaesthetic nurse) and its clinical consequences (This point can be written in first person)

o Biopsychosocial consequences that may arise in the clinical topic including the impact/s it may have on the patient and their family

o Discuss the therapeutic relationship between nurses and patients/families in the context of care related to the topic

o Discuss the cultural issues that may be associated with the topic

o Depict the ethical legal and policy issues that may arise during the process of care for your specific topic.

2:The relationship between characters in the play “Big Night” written by Dawn Powell

Topic: Big Night is a play concerned with ? among other things ? a mid-twentieth-century America where all values are being overtaken by business values. A useful distinction when analyzing this play may be that between seeing someone as a means to an end and seeing someone as an end-in-themselves. Assume for the purpose of argument that the more ethical position is to treat others ? especially intimates like friends or (especially) spouses ? as ends-in-themselves, meaning you respect and love that person for who they are, not for what he or she could do for you. Now analyze the relationships between the characters of Powell?s play and show us whether anyone treats anyone else as an end-in-themselves, or whether all these relationships are built on utility ? that is, where everyone treats everyone else as a means to an end (a means to make money, or to make better social contacts ? whatever). Once you?ve established the nature of relationships in the play, focus on the character of Myra. Look at the choice she makes at the end of the play, and at the action and conversation leading up to it. Decide based on the evidence what sort of choice Myra has made. Is there a difference between the way she was used by Ed and the way she will likely be used by Jones? If there is, explain that difference. Finally, is Myra?s choice to go with Jones tragic, heroic, pragmatic, some combination of these things, or something else?
