Require tutor to do 2000 words as a start for me see the tutor is qualified as my whole project is 15000 words so I will make sure the tutor is suitable to complete my whole assignment. I will upload the remaining in a new question.

I will send the details to the tutor once confirmed.

In this scenario, your organization has struggled during the past year with hiring qualified radiologic technologists (X-ray techs, radiographers, or rad techs) in your state and two neighboring states. After reading an Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) scope of practice case, your supervisor has become concerned about whether your radiologic technologists can legally administer contrast media, or dye, under the supervision of a physician. If the state allows radiologic technologists to administer contrast media, the organization wants to invest in training radiologic technologists to administer the contrast media rather than hiring additional personnel.

Locate and evaluate the scope of practice information for radiologic technologists for your state and two neighboring states.

Create a 10-minute, 7- to 9-slide voice-over presentation using either Microsoft® PowerPoint® or websites like Google Slides™, Adobe® Slate, or Prezi that examines the following:

• What information does each state include regarding scope of practice for radiologic technologists?
• How does the scope of practice for radiologic technologists vary for each state (e.g., administration, certification,regulation, etc.)?
• Can radiologic technologists in the three states administer contrast media or dye under the supervision of a physician?
• In the absence of clarity from the state, discuss options where you might be able to turn to in order to justify practice guidelines for your organization. (What are other similar organizations doing? How do they justify it?)
• Recommend action items to your supervisor.
• Training in contrast administration?
• Hire additional personnel?
• Cost?

Consider the case, Nurses caught between a rock and a hard place.

Nurses at Memorial Hospital, a 40 bed rural community hospital, are faced with what seems an impossible dilemma. Their best efforts to advocate for patients are routinely blocked by the hospital’s physicians and senior leadership. Two recent examples: When Mr. Rodriguez, a seasoned surgical nurse, requested time to administer an analgesic before a patient’s painful wound debridement, he was told by the surgeon that no pain medication was necessary. The patient was clearly in distress while the debridement was performed and so was his nurse. When Mr. Rodriguez reported this experience to the supervisor he was told that the nurse’s job is to do what the physician orders.

On another occasion, a woman presented to the emergency room with a fractured distal radius. Because a family member with a similar injury had unsatisfactory results (deformity and pain with movement) when treated by the doctor on call that evening, the woman and her husband requested transport to a larger hospital. The doctor on call insisted that it was important to set the fracture as soon as possible and convinced the couple that he could competently perform the procedure. The nurse had reservations about the doctor’s competence and wanted to counsel the couple to be persistent in seeking transport to another facility, but knew that her job was on the line if she did. When she reports this to her supervisor she is told that her job is not to advocate for patients but to be a loyal employee.

Repeated efforts by nurses to address these sorts of challenges have resulted in the persistent message that they can accept the status quo or leave. The nursing supervisor is tightly allied with medical director and Chief of ED (CEP). The problem for the nurses is that it is a 2 hour drive over the mountain to the nearest hospital and there are no other employment options.

Answer the following questions: 1) Which ethical principles are being violated in this scenario according to the ANA Ethics Definitions? 2) Which Code of Ethics provision best describes the nurse’s dilemma in this situation? 3) Where might the nurses at Memorial Hospital find resources to help in intervening to resolve their moral dilemma?

Key Points:

Ethical principles identified.
Use of the Code of Ethics
Resources to help in intervening to resolve a moral dilemma.
