Write a 4–6 page analysis of your previously selected current problem or issue in healthcare, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.

Expand All

Introduction

In your healthcare career, you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills, you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then, you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can also examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with the real-world problem you’ve selected.

Prepare

For this assessment, you will analyze the same current healthcare problem or issue topic area you selected for Assessments 2 and 3. To explore the chosen topic, use the first four topics of the 
Socratic Problem-Solving Approach for critical thinking.

1. Start by defining the healthcare problem or issue based on the selected healthcare topic.

2. Provide details about the problems or issues that are part of the chosen topic, and identify causes for the problems or issues.

3. Identify at least three scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles about the topic you are discussing by using articles you found for Assessment 2 or by searching the Capella library using the 
BSN Program Library Research Guide.

Write Your Paper

1. Use scholarly information to explain a healthcare problem or issue related to your selected topic.

· Cite credible, relevant sources to validate and reinforce the information used to explain the healthcare topic.

2. Analyze the problem or issue.

· Describe the setting or context for the problem or issue.

· Describe the reasons that make the problem or issue important to you.

· Identify groups of people affected by the problem or issue.

3. Compare and contrast potential solutions for the problem or issue.

· Describe potential solutions.

· Compare and contrast your opinion with other opinions you find in sources from the Capella library.

· Provide the pros and cons for one of the solutions you are proposing.

4. Explain how the ethical principles (beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice) apply if your potential solution were implemented.

· Describe what would be necessary to implement the proposed solution.

· Explain what ethical principles need to be considered (beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice) and how they apply if your potential solution were implemented. How would bias need to be considered?

· Provide examples from the literature to support the points you are making.

5. Explain how the solution you present will benefit or help to improve your selected topic as it relates to at least one of the Four Spheres of Care:

5. Wellness, Disease Prevention.

5. Chronic Disease Management.

5. Regenerative/Restorative Care.

5. Hospice and Palliative Care.

Organize your paper using the following structure and headings:

· Title page. (A separate page.)

· Introduction. (A one-paragraph statement about the purpose of the paper.)

· Identify the elements of the problem, issue, or question.

· Analyze, define, and frame the problem, issue, or question.

· Consider solutions, responses, or answers.

· Choose a solution, response, or answer.

· Implementation of the potential solution.

· Conclusion. (One paragraph.)

Academic Requirements

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

· Length: Include at least 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages, in addition to the title page and reference page.

· Font and font size: Use Times New Roman, 12 point.

· Writing:
 Produce text with minimal grammar, usage, spelling, and mechanical errors.

· Sources: Integrate into text appropriate use of scholarly sources, evidence, and citation style.

BSN Program Library Research Guide for help with research.
