Promotion Of School Violence :: School Violence Essays

I go to gross movies and listen to heavy metal and rap music and I haven't killed anybody, does that make me a potential killer?† These things provoke anger, temper, and crummy attitudes. Gross visuals and music dull sensitivities. They teach the wrong way to handle problems. Make no mistake about this. No matter what defenders of this junk may say, violent movies, video games, and gross music have consequences that include more arguing, hitting, abuse, and other violent behavior; sometimes even killings like happened in Littleton. However, instead of focusing on the real problem, most of the attention has been focused on guns. Yes, these boys used guns. They also made and used bombs. Obviously, kids can't have guns at school. But weak solutions about controlling gun sales would not have stopped these kids from getting guns-or from buying nails, propane and other things they used to make the bombs. These kids broke a dozen laws in doing what they did. Another law or two on the books would not have prevented the massacre in Littleton. Common threads in this and other episodes of school violence have been that the kids have watched lots of violent movies and videos, listened to gross music, and played violent video games. I'm more worried about filling kids minds with gross violence in videos, movies, and video games than I am about guns. I'm also very concerned about the disconnect from parents and the lack of respect for authority. Parents need to take charge. Obviously this needs to be with love, but parents need to be in charge and know what is going on. Other than guns being the quick diagnosis and thing to fix, all this awful violence seems to be a big mystery to so many. This isn't a mystery. There's no mystery about it. If there's no respect and if kids' heads are filled with evil, violence, and sex--which is what has been happening, why is anyone surprised about this horrific behavior? A large part of the responsibility for the violence that happen ed in Littleton must be placed on the producers of increasingly gross and violent movies, music, and video games. When kids go to a movie, watch television, or play video games, they become part of what they see and hear. Soak this stuff in their heads long enough and it becomes a part of the way they think, act, and live.

Prejudice and Discrimination

Prejudice: The dictionary defines prejudice as an unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling, especially when formed without enough thought or knowledge. This means that a person may form an opinion on a person or a particular group of people without having any facts or knowledge about that person or group. Prejudice is normally perceived as being bad but there are some instances where prejudice is an aid to survival for example if you see several scruffy men parked in a van in a dark alley, you will form a pre judgment that they must be up to no good so you choose to not walk down the alley. They could simply be movers, but healthy prejudice tells you not to take the chance. Discrimination Direct discrimination is defined as treating one particular group of people less favourably than others because of their race, colour, nationality, or ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation or religious beliefs. There is also positive discrimination in which an individual is allowed to advance themselves because of their gender, race, sexually orientation, age etc. Example if an Asian person is hired simply because they are Asian due to the stereotype that Asians are smart and good students that’s a positive discrimination. Indirect discrimination is defined as an apparently neutral specification, criteria or practice that would disadvantage people on the grounds of racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation unless the practice can be objectively justified. For example a department store prohibits its employees from wearing hats when serving customers. This rule means that people whose religious beliefs require them to cover their heads, such as Muslim women, are discriminated against and cannot carry out their job. The store is indirectly discriminating against this group of people unless it can demonstrate that there is valid reason. Stereotyping Stereotyping is a generalisation of people, which is usually negative, untrue, and unjustifiable. The term labelling is used when we take look at a person and place a label on them and then place them in a category for example we could label someone gay because they seem camp even though they may not be gay. People stereotype as it helps people to deal with individuals who are different from themselves. It makes people feel safe and in their own mind stereotypes allow them to justify their actions towards people. Stereotypes can become self-fulfilling prophecies if the stereotype is re-enforced enough. For example, girls maybe stereotyped as failing more math’s exams than boys this will lead to girls failing to try in exams, as they believe that they are expected to fail. Scapegoating Scapegoating is the practice of singling out an individual or group for unmerited negative treatment or blame. The word â€Å"scapegoat† actually originates from Leviticus 16 in the bible. A goat had all the sins of man placed upon it and it was sent into the wilderness to perish. An example of scapegoating is the Salem Witch Trials. Women were used as scapegoats when the crops were bad or there was a famine and then tried as witches. This was especially the case with midwives, as they would be accused of being in league with Satan if the baby died during birth, which happened frequently due to poor standards of hygiene etc. Part Two Case Study 1 During the first part of the 20th century, deaf people were directly discriminated against due to them being labeled as deaf and dumb. They were prevented from entering mainstream education and were not considered for any high paying jobs. Most deaf children were sent away to deaf schools and some were sent to asylums, even though they were not mentally ill. However, by sending a sane child to an asylum the stereotype of deaf children being mentally ill became a self-fulfilling prophecy as most the children within the asylum did eventually develop some sort of mental illness to help them cope with their surroundings. Children and adults were not separated in asylums and most of the children were sexually abused or witness to sexual acts from a very young age. Society was not kind to deaf children, there was no compassion or understanding and most children did not realize they were deaf because no one took the time to explain to them. Families felt embarrassed and ashamed of their deaf offspring, some families even decided not to have any more children for fear that they too would be deaf. Deaf men were also discriminated against during the First World War as they were deemed unfit for service, however, deaf soldiers would have had a distinct advantage over the soldiers who could hear as they would not get shellshock or distracted as easily by the surrounding noises. Some doctors believed that deafness was cause by a blockage in the ear and others believed it to be a brain dysfunction either way deaf people in asylums were subjected to horrific procedures such as needles being pushed into their eardrums and lobotomies. Deaf children often became strangers within their own families and were often rejected and abandoned this led to low self worth and extreme depression in some cases. As deaf children had no knowledge of language, as it was rarely taught in deaf schools, they developed their own ‘sign language’, which differed from school to school. This sign language was not universal and was normally only understood by the children at that particular school. Sexual predators also targeted many deaf people, as they were easy targets due to being sexually ignorant. Some countries saw being deaf as a disease that could be eradicated through means such as selective breeding, deaf girls were systematically sterilised and deaf marriage was not allowed. This made the deaf community feel as if they were outcasts and it denied them their rights to have a normal social or sexual relationship with another individual. However, refuge from the cruel world of the hearing was soon found in what were called ‘Deaf Clubs’. By 1930, every town had its own deaf club, which hosted regular events and outings for the deaf community. These clubs were normally overseen by powerful clergymen and were charities run by hearing people. While the deaf community saw deaf clubs as a lifeline, they also sought to reinforce the segregation of deaf people from the rest of the world. Silent movies were a place where deaf and hearing could share a common love for theatre, deaf people were made to feel like part of society. However, exclusion would soon become part of the deaf community again with the invention of telephones, radios and televisions. Today there are many acts in place to help deaf people live normal, fulfilling lives within their communities without fear of being ridiculed or committed. 1 Case Study 2 Many men are afraid to tell friends and family that they want to enter nursing as it leads to them being stereotyped as gay because nursing is seen primarily as a female profession. In June 2006, Andrew Moyhing won a landmark case against the NHS for sex discrimination. Mr Moyhing, 29 said, â€Å"I abandoned nursing because I was not allowed to do the job properly in a female-dominated profession. † 2 The NHS hospital that Mr Moyhing worked for as a student nurse refused to let him perform intimate medical procedures on women unless accompanied by a female chaperone. An article on nursingtimes. net states that currently male nurses only make up 11% of the female dominated sector and are four times more likely to be sanctioned or face discrimination by the NMC. Chaperone policies are in place in many NHS hospitals but they only relate to male nurses, a female nurse does not require a male chaperone to carry out an intimate procedure on a male patient but a male nurse requires a female chaperone. London NHS Trust did admit that the difference in treatment between male and female nurses was direct discrimination. Mr Moyhing claimed he felt he was being regarded as untrustworthy and a potential abuser of females or that the patient was likely to lie and make false accusations. Jenny Watson, chair of the EOC, said, â€Å"The Employment Appeal Tribunal was right to find that it was not acceptable to have a chaperoning policy based on lazy stereotyping about the risks to patients and assumptions that all men are sexual predators. † 4 The EOC said its research showed that one in four schoolboys were interested in caring work but only one in ten nurses were male. 5 Many organisations and websites are now appearing to offer a support system to male nurses whom maybe facing discrimination from their female work colleagues or bosses.

Water quality pollutants in the county come from fertilizers, bacteria from animal feces, sediment from land that are being cleared and stream channel erosion. When the rain falls into farms, parking lots, construction sites, and lawns the water collects pollutants and they get carried to the stream and then eventually end up in the Chesapeake Bay. In 2010 10 out of 15 streams sampled were rated far to poor, E-Coli, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, Chlorophyll-A and Polychlorinated Biphenyls were noted in the samples (2013 Natural Resource Indicator Report, 2014).

I am grateful for each and every opportunity that has been given to me during this experience. I have learned so many great things this semester it is hard to really sit and think of them all. If I had to pick a few I would say the most important factor would be to be flexible. You are always going to have things that come up that is going to cause your plans to be pushed back or not go as planned. As a teacher you have to be ready for anything and everything, always have a plan B in your back pocket to use. Another thing that I feel I have learned that is important for any intern to know is to plan, plan, plan! Always be prepared, because if you are not it is going to show in your daily work and the students will know it. They can tell when you prepared and when you are not so take the time and plan your day out. You will be so thankful that you did. I have also learned that it is important to collaborate and get to know your fellow teachers and administrators. Befriending someone is the easiest way to begin to feel comfortable in a new area.

Essays on Critically analyse how the government debt problems initially faced by a few relatively small economies could trigger such a wide impact in financial markets Essay The Government Debt Problems Initially Faced by a Few Relatively Small Economies Could Trigger Such a Wide Impact on Bond Markets Introduction The bond market plays a critically important role in the stability of the financial market. For example, a well developed bond market reduces the dependability of private business on banks’ credit. This in turn contributes to pushing the financial market for strengthening the system. Also, the well developed bond market increases ways for diversified securitisation (Sokoler, n.d.). Government is also highly concerned with the development of the bond market to finance its budgetary requirement. As a matter of fact, such government debt raised through the bond market is considered as the backbone of the economy. Therefore, problems in the government debt also have a wider impact on the bond market on the whole. Impacts on Bond Markets Government raises debt by issuing bonds. Different economies have different target markets for attracting bond buyers. Small economies are faced with limited local options; therefore, most of the debt is internationally financed by advanced economies and the international organizations such as IMF etc. For example, the size of the public debt and the budget deficits of USA swelled from 62% of GDP in 2007 to 93.6% in 2010. Similarly, Japan reported the swelling up to 199.7% (2010) as compared to 167% (2007) (Lourtie, 2011). This piling up of debt was due to its national debt. Single economy and cross banking were identified as important reasons of the spread of crises. It also brought to limelight the impact of deficiencies in the regulatory framework (IBDE, 2012). The debt crises of the relatively small economies have wide negative impact on the large number of economies. IMF and other European countries have supported smaller economics to sustain in difficult situations as these economics were facing different challenges to survive from being default. This in turn spread the impact from the few economies to the other countries. The concerns rose as the big economies have already increased their debt levels as a result of the nationalization of the private sector debt, the stimulus plan and the reduced income from tax etc. As evidence, the steep growth of the debt in the G7 economies is depicted in the given below graph: (Nelson, 2013) Members of the European Monetary Union (EMU) facilitate the loan guarantee to each other; this has brought the overall creditworthiness of the Euro zone at stake. The pressure is mounted mainly from the fact that there is currently no international bankruptcy court present. The absence of an international bankruptcy court could pressurize the defaulting economies to surrender assets to the debtor. This has ultimately increased the pressure on the lending economies and organization to facilitate the debt restructuring etc (Nelson, 2013). For example, the OECD report states that the solution to the government debt crises can be in the form of the debt burden sharing between the lender and the borrower (Wehinger, 2011). The other reason is also important to understand that government debts are not backed by any collateral instead are based on faith. Therefore, the lenders economies are then strangled to ensure the recovery by other measures such as restructuring or even forgiving. These risks result in inflated bond spreads (IBDE, 2012). The government debt problems of the small economies also create the yield disruption in the other economies. The positive trend of the yield curve and the maturity also turn reverse in the crises situation of the borrowing economies. In contrast to the positive relationship, the yield curve spread, and the maturity turns negative once the credit worthiness or the sovereign rating of the debt issuer worsens. For example, -800b.p. of spread was reported for Greece during the economic and debt crises. Similarly, it was – 30b.p. for Italy (Wehinger, 2011). This implies the negative perception of the investors of bonds. Another dimension from which the debt crises of a country spread across is through the banks’ lending strategy. According to the Arteta and Hale (2008), the sovereign debt crises restrict the foreign banks’ lending to the private firms. This strategy continues even after the restructuring of the debt. Bofondi, Carpinelli, and Sette (2012) have noted that during the debt crisis in Italy, the lending by the local banks to private firms increased as compared to the lending by foreign banks. This is particularly in the case when the government bond market is under constant tension. Despite above mentioned concerns, some economists held view that bond markets of advanced economies such as USA are less risky. This presumption is due to the fact USA has a traceable history of making repayments of debt. Also, the spread offered on bonds reduces the vulnerability of USA in the view of the investors (Nelson, 2013). On the other hand, taking advantage of the interconnected that spread the crisis, the solution is also being attempted to be derived from same. Establishment of the shared Euro-bond is the development towards the solution with one objective of debt servicing of the economies under crises. However, the implementation of the structural reforms is conditioned along side. It will also contribute in regaining the confidence on the bond market such as UK has reduced the rates at the historic low levels and these factors have played important in regaining the investors’ confidence (IBDE, 2012). Conclusion The sovereign debt crises of the relatively smaller countries have spread across the world. Moreover, among different financial markets to receive impact, the impact on the bond market is also notable. The matter spread not only due to the relative size of the economies. Instead, the spread is mainly due to the interconnectedness of the wider number of countries. The unified economy of the Eurozone developed the chain through which the impact spread. Moreover, the deficiency on the part of the regulatory systems has complimented the issue. Another factor that contributed towards the spread of the crises was the pressure developing from other dimension such as the stock market and private banking lending etc. Nevertheless, with improvement in the regulation, the recommendations for the recovery are expected to overall support the mechanism.

Wal-Mart’s website is the Wal-Mart store but virtual and the website as well has lower prices that fits everyone’s budget. Wal-Mart has the slogan of rolling back prices with Smiley the Happy Face. The Wal-Mart motto is to save money and live better. The website carries an advantage over the store because a person of any age can navigate the website. Every customer can do his or her one-stop shopping from home, work or wherever there is a computer, and receive free delivery to the nearest store, let’s compare that to Target. Reflection of Wal-Mart Image and Values: Wal-Mart’s website is a great reflection on the company’s brand image. The store is a one-stop shop store and the company has designed the website as a direct duplicate of the store. In the store the customer can actually see an item unlike the website where the customer has to rely on a picture of the item. The website also carries an advantage over the store because a customer can do his or her one-stop shopping from home, work or wherever there is a computer, which is easy shopping during the holiday season. The website is worthy on the company because the website allows the customer to see what is in stock either online or at a store near the customer. Wal-Mart’s website offers their customers free shipping from website to a store near the customer unlike Target’s where the customer have to spend $50 to get free shipping. Navigation, Visitor Friendly: The website is as easy to navigate as a child learning to speak. The customer can find every department online as in the store. Wal-Mart’s focus came from its founder Sam Walton who was cheap and focused on lower prices everywhere and everyday. Mr. Walton made lower prices everyday his motto and that have been Wal-Mart’s message since 1962 and it is that very message that gives even low income families an opportunity to shop in the store and now online. Up To Date Information: The Wal-Mart web page is current and kept up-to-date with what is going on in stores around the country. The Wal-Mart motto is â€Å"Save Money, Live Better†, (Wal-Mart, 2007). A customer can utilize Wal-Mart’s website to his or her advantage by receiving better deals than the store. While analyzing the website there was one thing that stood out this was toys and video games. Wal-Mart knows the interest of its customers and understands some parent visits the stores and the website simply because of he need of new video games and toys. So Wal-Mart emphasizes video games and other toys on its website to attract children whom will alert the parents about new things. Wal-Mart then works the other angle and caters to the parents with things of interest. One of the best features about Wal-Mart’s website is the help link it offers. The help link will remain on the web page regardless of what page the customer is and it assist the customer at anytime. Evaluation of the graphic elements: The evaluation of the graphic elements of the Wal-Mart website is great. It is very eye catching for the customers like me who do not like to read. The picture’s Wal-Mart has takes you to whatever you want to look into buying. The website is designed very effectively because it assists the consumer with even purchasing the items. When a 72† plasma screen is all colorful and looking at you for a good price all you need to do is input your credit card number, address, and receive your confirmation number and within four to six weeks you will have a special delivery. Then you do not have to worry about leaving the comfort of your home and finding someone to assist you with the weight of a 72† plasma television. There are plenty of different links to help you make your final purchase and also they are in the right places at the right time. There is also a 1-800 telephone number at the bottom of some of the links to also help you with your purchase if you get a little confused or if you purchase too much when the total comes up and you may need to remove several items. Although the use of color and the multimedia is throughout the website, I do not believe it is too much. The color helps attract the customers who claim they are just looking and pulls them in to be regular customers online. Things about the website: Wal-Mart’s slogan is, â€Å"In everything we do, we’re driven by a common mission; and that is to save people money, so they can live better† (Wal-Mart, NA). That slogan is one of the many reasons why customers want to stay, rather than move on to another site. There are several reasons why customers are loyal and stay with Wal-Mart such as the straight forward facts that the customer could get news updates about Wal-Mart, the customer could download music, gift cards, and a whole lot more.

Legal and Professional Issues In Nursing †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Legal and Professional Issues In Nursing. Answer: Introduction In nursing, just like in any other profession, nurses are expected to adhere to certain professional standards, which include but are not limited to competency, professional code conduct, and ethics. Additionally, states have laws that professional ought to abide by, as far as conducting their duties is concerned (Buka, 2014, p.14). Thus, failure for nurses to adhere to those rules, standards, and regulations may and often attracts charges to maintain a certain degree of competency and professionalism expected of nurses. Thus, this paper focuses on a case study of two nurses on an infant. In so doing, the paper will look at the specific standard of practice; ethical, competence and professional applicable to the case study that the two nurses appear to have broken (Douglas et al., 2014, p. 118). In addition to that, the paper will weigh in on the legal provision relevant to the conduct of the two nurses. On the other hand, there have been cases of nurses engaging in malpractices. One of the most common forms of malpractices is a misdiagnosis, where a patient is diagnosed with a different disease but the one suffering from. Lastly, communicating, documenting and reporting patients conditions are essential for all nurses if at all the patient has to receive proper care (Yoder-Wise, 2014, p. 23). The paper will give a comprehensive analysis on all of these about the case study. Analysis of the Case Study The case study is a six-month-old infant who is suffering from bowel obstruction and taken to the emergency department, but the nurses that assess the child fails to recognize the condition but instead mistakenly confuse it with gastroenteritis. It is the medical staff that realizes the condition but their attempt to save the child fails as he passes on before the next treatment. Thus, due to the conduct of the two nurses, complain is launched against the two nurses and are found guilty of behaving in an unprofessional way. Law and malpractices about the case study In legal practice and health care, there are certain aspects that one considers before a person is convicted or pronounced to be liable to the charges brought against him or her. For nurses, for instance, a person must establish that there was a patient-nurse relationship. It is important to ascribe a duty of care for the nurse or nurses involved (Carroll, Parikh, Buddenbaum, 2012, p.140). This can be done by looking at the medical records that stipulates that such a relationship existed. Secondly, there must be an elaborate way of determining the scope of duty that the nurse was supposed to offer. In addition to that, it is important that a complaint establish that there was an omission or absence of good and acceptable care that any competent and experienced nurse would have offered (Fairman et al., 2011, p. 194). Lastly, there must be an establishment of a causal of the relationship between what the nurse and nurses did that resulted in injury or what they omitted to do that coul d not have led to an injury. In the case study, there are various aspects that one can draw that are not professional in any sense that can be used as evidence to establish the malpractices that the two nurses engage in. Firstly, the two nurses do not document their assessment. In nursing, documentation of patient assessment is important and mandatory (Westrick, 2013, p.62). The act of not documenting their assessment is unprofessional and not acceptable (Potts, Mandleco, 2012, p.12). Secondly, the two nurses fail to communicate or report earlier enough to the medical staff even though it is an emergency case. This is another issue that the nurse violates in regards to professionalism (Mason, Laurie, Smith, 2013, p. 102). It is not recommended for nurses to report late for cases they are unable to handle, or that calls for an emergency intervention. Lastly, the two nurses make a misdiagnosis for the infant patient. Specifically, instead of diagnosing the patient for bowel obstruction, they make a wrong diagnos is of gastroenteritis, which encourages delay of recovery and perhaps more harm to the patient body than good. In effect, the patient is not well taken care of by the two nurses. On the other hand, the manner in which the nurses conduct themselves can well be demonstrated by looking at the specific ethical and code of competency or conduct that they break as this is what makes them liable for punishment. Code of ethics In Australia, the Board of Nurses has laid out specific ethical codes that nurses ought to follow in his or her provision of services. However, the two nurses in their assessment to the patient fail to honor one of ethical code. In particular, statement 6 of the code of ethics for nurses states that nurses value aculture of safety in nursing and healthcare (Ferrara et al., 2013, p. 4). This suggests that nurses must engage in an undertaking that encourages sharing of knowledge and understanding as a crucial pertinent aspect of safety in contemporary health care. Thus, the nurse ought to value safe working environment by working within the limits of his or her knowledge or skills. However, from the case study, the two nurses do not honor this but instead practice and offer services that are not safe to the patient. Precisely, it appears that the two nurses are not aware of what is ailing the patient. However, they go ahead to diagnose the patient who turns out to be a misdiagnosis. This keeps the patient health at risk and may have been one of the reasons why it becomes difficult to save the patient. Code of professional conduct In addition to the ethical code, the Australian Board for nurses has a professional code of conduct as other requirements for practicing nurses. In this category, the two nurses violate statement 11 which states that it is the responsibility of all the nurses to maintain the required competency by participating in professional development education programs (Furrow et al., 2014, p.15). In the case study, it appears that the nurses have not been participating in this program to boost their competency. Such mistake like not documenting or reporting an emergency case is not something that is expected of not only one, but two nurses. Thus, the nurses do not conform to this code of conduct which attracts disciplinary actions for it puts the patient at risk. National Competency standards for registered nurses Lastly, as far as professional standards for nurses are concerned, there are competency standards for all nurses. In the case study, the two nurses also violate some of them in their professional handling of the patient. Firstly, competency standard 1.3 embraces the notion that nurses ought to recognize and respond appropriately to unsafe or unprofessional practice (Iglehart, 2013, p. 12). In their ruling, the committee in charge of investigating the conduct of the two nurses concludes that the two failed to manage or communicate with the pediatrician for any changes and responses to the patient condition or even maintain clinical records of the patients observation. It is not in line with this standard, and thus, the two are liable to punishment. Secondly, another competency standards that the two nurses fail to honor is 2.2 which stipulates that nurses are obliged to integrate organizational policies and guidelines with professional standards (Jalian, Jalian, Avram, 2013, p.12). Although the two nurses are in the department of emergency, they are unable to differentiate and properly diagnosis bowel blockage but instead confuses it with gastroenteritis. This is not what the hospital expects of the two nurses as per their guidelines. The hospital tasks them with the responsibility they believe are capable of handling. Additionally, they ought to integratenursing health care knowledge, attitude, and skills to provide safe and effective nursing care. It is clear that the two did not seek intervention at the right time and if only they had done so, the medical staff was in a better position to help the patient. Lastly, competency standard 5.3 states that a nurse must analyze, interpret assessment and data accurately (Kukreja, Dodwad, Kukreja, 2013, p.19). It is evident that the two nurses responded to the emergency case and the changes in the patient in contrast to what a competent nurse would, in analyzing and assessing the conditions of the patient, leading to wrong judgment. Legal Provision that the two nurses Bleaches In Australia, the National law provides for disciplinary actions for nurses who violate section 139B. In its readings, it stipulates that nurses ought to be punished for portraying unsatisfactory professional conduct (Kapp, 2012, p.17). According to the section, the conduct is unsatisfactory if it is below the reasonable standard. This is one that demonstrates that the knowledge, care exercised, or skill is below the bar that the professional body expects of a healthcare practitioner of an equivalent level of training. In the case study, the two nurses do some things that are indeed below the standard of practice. Firstly, they fail to make the patients clinical records of the observations (Wachter, 2012, p.78). Secondly, they do not communicate in time to medical staff although it is an emergency case. Lastly, they misdiagnose the patient. This is below the standards expected of the two nurses. Communication, response, and call for help Research indicates that there is a lot of concern about ineffective communication between nurses and doctors. Some reasons have been attributed to this poor communication. To start with the first one, junior nurses and those with minimal experience may feel uncomfortable to call for assistance because of fear of doing the wrong thing or be seen as incompetent (Raingruber, 2016, p. 71). Additionally, another study reveals that nurses may not be in the best position to articulate the concerns as well as it should be or as urgent as it should (Dearmon, and NEA, 2013, p. 14). Lastly, they may not be confident enough to cross hierarchical or occupational boundaries, and this affects the patient from receiving the best medical care. The case study is in a rural area, and similar cases have been reported where nurses who are not competent enough work in the various important department. This happens due to the shortage of medics, and it is a problem affecting many parts of rural areas in Au stralia. However, the nurses have violated various legal provisions and professional code of conducts or standards of practice, and they must account for as per the rules and judgment of the body in charge (Schwartz, 2013, p.17). Additionally, there is a separate case that the nurse is charged with that also demonstrates incompetency and unwelcoming behavior which further demonstrate that the incident is not an accident but a repetitive behavior that is likely to persist if something is done. Conclusion Thus, the case study provides various ways in which legal and professional conduct of nurses in taking care of a patient can be bleached. Specifically, the two nurses conduct themselves in a manner that is in violation of the national laws and of what is expected by their professional standards. In addition to that, there are various ways to establish the charges of whoever appears to have engaged in malpractice. In the case study, four of the most basics elements that one has to consider have been highlighted, which include establishing whether the nurse has a duty, omission of behavior that made an impact or injury to the patient and scope of duty among others. It is worth noting that one can learn from the case study that failing to make clinical records of patients observation is in violation of professional standards and this makes the charges against nurses valid. In addition to that, cases of misdiagnosis can come from nurses not reporting to medical staff as soon as possible who are in a better position in terms of skills, knowledge, and experience to handle patients. Although rural hospital faces challenges in treating patients, the misconduct of the nurses needs to be taken care of to avoid recurrence. References Buka, P., 2014.
