Guidelines:

Give appropriate background to the site of Olympia. Where is it? How is the site controlled as the venue for one of the Crown Games? (Think: who controls Olympia?) When did religious activities start at the site—and what did that entail? Are there important myths that are connected to the site that add to its history?
Explore the site, with a brief overview of important elements that illustrate that this is not only a religious sanctuary—but also a site for athletic competitions. Choose at least three of the following structures to describe and briefly explain their cultural and historical significance at the site of Olympia:
Temple of Hera
Temple of Zeus and its architectural decoration
Stadium
Treasuries
Bouleuterion
Leonidaion
Nymphaeum of Herodes Atticus and Regilla
When concluding your paper, consider thinking about: why is Olympia, the site and the games that occurred there, so important for Greek society and culture?

NASW Code of Ethics and one standard from the CSWE Educational Policy

Former president of the American Association of Social Workers (now the NASW), Benjamin Youngdahl,
stated in his 1953 farewell address: “Is our function as social workers limited to the treatment of
pathologies, or do we have a positive or preventive function to perform as well?”
Please reflect on and respond to Youngdahl’s question, and support your position by invoking one core
value from the NASW Code of Ethics and one standard from the CSWE Educational Policy and
Accreditation Standards.

The Nursing Dilemma

Posted on | by

 

 

Using a Microsoft Word document, record your responses to the critical thinking questions based on the scenario provided. Each response should be original (in your own words) and a minimum of 2–3 sentences in length.

 

Scenario

A military RN is ordered to force-feed a terrorist prisoner while they are undergoing interrogation. The prisoner is on a hunger strike protesting their capture and highlighting his cause. The nurse is to ensure the prisoner remains hydrated and fed so they can provide information and do not starve. The nurse is torn. On the one hand, the nurse has a strong loyalty to the military objective of ensuring public safety by uncovering terrorist plots and fear of reprisal if orders are disobeyed. Yet, the nurse is appalled at overriding a patient’s wishes by force-feeding him.

Critical Thinking Questions

Is this an ethical dilemma or a moral dilemma?

What ethical principles are in contention? How?

Are there any virtues at risk? Whose? Why?

What justifies overriding an individual’s autonomy to make his own choices?

How does the Code of Ethics guide the nurse in invoking conscientious objection?

What lessons can be learned from this nurse’s dilemma?

Posted on | by

 

Post an explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned. Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.

 

John Green, 33 year-old Caucasian male, presents to the office to establish as a new patient. John’s natal sex is female but he identifies as a male. He transitioned from female to male 2 years ago. He has made a full transition with family and socially last year. He just moved back home and is unemployed at this time. He has been obtaining testosterone from the internet to give to himself. He has not had any health care since he decided to change other than getting his suppression medications through Telehealth 3 months ago. His past medical history includes smoking 2 packages of cigarettes per day for the last 10 years, smokes 3-6 marijuana joints every weekend (has an active green card), and does suffer from depression episodes. He is HIV positive for the last 3 years but remains virally suppressed at his last blood draw 6 months ago. He has been feeling very weak over the last few weeks which prompted him to move back home with his parents. He takes Biktarvy once daily that comes in the mail for free, tolerates it well, and 100 mg Testosterone IM every 7 days. His PMH is non-contributory. No past medical history. He has never been married. No significant family history. He is worried since moving back home and unemployed he will be a burden on his family, and he thinks his health may be declining.
