The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.

Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview.

Provide a 1,500-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the following questions:

1. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the world?
2. How would  George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?
3. As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?
4. What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
5. Given the above, what options would be morally justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?
6. Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you were in George’s situation?

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Please reply to this discussion with one reference.   

-The middle-range theory is a form of typical concepts which have been fixed on a limited scope of the reality of nursing. The theories are composed of different ideas along with an organized form among the ideas which could be related to the creation of a model. The middle range theories are normally progressed as well as advanced in the areas of practice and research so that they achieve the well-defined direction for the general practice as well as intellectual research which has been placed in the field of nursing (J.B., Rich, K.L, 2016).  The main purpose of the middle range theory is to define different conditions for both the objects as well as elements that are involved in the field of caring in nursing. Its main focus is on the outcome of several of the objects which are responsible for the performance of the patients and the assessments that are needed so that they can boost the health care performance.

This discussion will focus on the chronic sorrow theory which is a middle-range theory by Eakes, Burke, and Hainsworth (J.B., Rich, K.L, 2016). The main aim of the theory is to identify the typical experiences of the people when they come across continuous differences as a result of significant loss. The theory assumed that every human being is made of emotional reactions. The emotional nature is going to come to the picture as a result of the occurrence of various unusual events found in society. The basic understanding of the Chronic Sorrow will assist the nurses in gaining knowledge from their nursing practice research and later implement them in the field of caring to provide the patient with strong care.

Review Appendix A, Sections I–V in Finkelman (2016).

1. Select one of the sections and share how your chief nurse executive demonstrates expertise in these competencies.  Your comments should be about the “highest nursing leader” in your organization. Typically this is the leader who represents nurses and nursing to the governing board.
2. In your own words, explain the differences between a transactional nursing leader and a transformational nursing leader. What one is more like your Nurse Executive?
3. Describe how the Nurse Executive “leads the charge” for transformational leadership in an organization where you work or have done prelicensure clinical experiences.

Respond to this 

 PICOT Question  Can overweight and obesity among teenagers be prevented or managed successfully through physical activity programs after six months than no intervention at all?  Specific Research Approach  The main research method that will be used in this study is qualitative approach. Qualitative research can be described as a data gathering approach that entails in-depth inquiry of human perceptions, attitudes, and experiences. This research also seeks to examine associated processes within the contexts that certain phenomena take place (Langford, 2012). The utilization of qualitative research approach results in the development of value-based understanding of motivations and behaviors. There are various ways in which qualitative design will be implemented. This type of research approach is reliant on observations and assessments that subjectively measure the participants’ introspections, interpersonal interactions, as well as those who have relevant communities (Langford, 2012). The process of reporting this research is highly supported by verbal and visual descriptions, quotations, as well as interpretive coding.  The primary reason of which qualitative research has been selected is that it gives room for access to detailed feedback from the subjects and circumstances. In the past, the process of data gathering and analysis highly over depended on subjective evaluations (Langford, 2012). Moreover, qualitative approach provides insights into the attitudes, behaviors, and motivations on issues related to physical activity as a way of educing obesity prevalence among adolescents. This process will give room for in-depth evaluation of issues that are being researched. Moreover, qualitative approach enables the researcher to investigate highly-sensitive information. Further, qualitative design is a useful tool for undertaking comprehensive assessment on the basis of interpersonal interactions over an extended period of time.  Data Collection Method  Interviews will be used as the main data gathering methods for this study. In particular, the participants will be administered with structured interviews, which will have a list of questions read out and the responses noted down (Gratton & Jones, 2014). Structured interviews will ensure that the respondents complete the questionnaires on time and seek clarification over questions that may seem unclear or ambiguous. Structured interviews will enable the participants to express their experiences in their own words on what they feel about the efficacy of physical activities in reducing obesity prevalence. This process will enable them to explain and elaborate on any area of specific interest or significance (Gratton & Jones, 2014). Furthermore, the interview method will be insightful in many ways since it offers the researcher with perceived causal inferences from the respondents, as opposed to the researcher’s point of view. This process allows the respo0ndent to become more of an informant, who provides data from their own lived experiences and perspective. Further, the interview method will be used as a tool to provide avenues through which more important, yet unexpected data will emerge (Gratton & Jones, 2014). This is especially the case when it comes to face-to-face interviews, which enable the researcher to evaluate the respondent’s body language, facial expressions, and voice tonal variations.  Steps to Ensure Data Quality  Data quality is critical in realizing credibility of study. As such, there are various steps that will be taken to ensure quality of the data gathered. First, a data auditing process will be undertaken. The auditing process involves comparing samples of reported data for earlier time period with the source’s data records for the current period. The main assessment methods for data auditing will include triangulating with other data sources, conducting documentation reviews, and verifying and cross-checking (Radhakrishna et al. 2012). In addition, reliability will be ensured by conducting repeated measurements to ensure that they are consistent. Validity refers to the closeness between the values offered and the true values. Validity will be attained through careful designing of the structured interview questions, and conducting field tests.    References  Gratton, C., & Jones, I. (2014).
