DEVELOP FOUR COMPETENCY STATEMENTS SPECIFIC TO THE NURSING FUNDAMENTALS

 NO COMMENTS

Part 1

The role of the nurse educator requires specialized knowledge and skills. One of the essential competencies necessary for the role is the ability to develop relevant curricula for the preparation of future nurses. It is therefore important that nurse educators comprehend and stay well-informed of trends and issues which may impact nursing education

This task is intended to facilitate your ability to develop competency statements and related learning objectives; select relevant learning assessment and evaluation tools; create learning activities that promote critical thinking and reflective skills; and actively engage and support students with diverse learning needs. As an educator, you are also required to demonstrate effective analytical skills in the evaluation of methods used to determine the achievement of program outcomes. In addition, in this task you write an element of an exam. This will help you comprehend different item types and the process involved when you develop items for course exams. These learning activities assist in building an educational foundation between the classroom setting and the clinical setting.

Scenario:

The nursing faculty at Hartford University have developed a new BSN curriculum and begun the work of designing and developing individual courses. You are a full-time, tenure-track faculty member assigned to develop courses in level one—the first year of the nursing program. Students at this level have completed all prerequisites for the BSN program.

You are asked to develop the Nursing Fundamentals course, the first clinical course students engage in once admitted to the BSN nursing program. According to the results of the nursing program entrance exam, the students who will be taking the Nursing Fundamentals course were found to have an equal distribution of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The Nursing Fundamentals course will introduce students to nursing care across the lifespan. It will also provide students with the tools necessary to perform basic nursing care in clinical settings and will provide the framework for future clinical courses (e.g., medical/surgical, pediatric, obstetrics/gynecology, mental health, and community nursing specialties).

Requirements:

A.  Develop four competency statements specific to the Nursing Fundamentals course that are based on contemporary professional nursing standards and guidelines.

1.  Explain how each of the four competencies you developed aligns with one of the following national nursing standards and guidelines:

•   Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE)

•   National League for Nursing (NLN)

•   Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN)

2.  Create three learning objectives for one of the course competencies that you developed.

a.  Discuss one criterion you will use to select appropriate learning resources to achieve the learning objectives you created.

Type 1 Diabetic : Note: Multiple daily doses or continuous subcutaneous infusions guided by blood glucose monitoring are the standard of diabetes care. Combinations of insulin formulations are commonly used. The daily doses presented below are expressed as the total units/kg/day of all insulin formulations combined.

Initial total insulin dose: 0.2 to 0.6 units/kg/day in divided doses. Conservative initial doses of 0.2 to 0.4 units/kg/day are often recommended to avoid the potential for hypoglycemia. A rapid-acting insulin may be the only insulin formulation used initially.

Usual maintenance range: 0.5 to 1 units/kg/day in divided doses. An estimate of anticipated needs may be based on body weight and/or activity factors as follows:

Nonobese: 0.4 to 0.6 units/kg/day

Obese: 0.8 to 1.2 units/kg/day

Adverse effects of Lispro

·       Cardiovascular: Peripheral edema

·       Central nervous system: Headache (type 1 diabetes: 30%; type 2 diabetes: 12%), pain (11% to 20%)

·       Endocrine & metabolic: Hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, weight gain

·       Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (type 1 diabetes: 9%), nausea (type 1 diabetes: 6%)

·

·       Genitourinary: Urinary tract infection (type 1 diabetes: 6%)

·

·       Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reaction

·

·       Immunologic: Antibody development

·

·       Infection: Infection (10% to 14%)

·

·       Local: Hypertrophy at injection site, injection site reaction, lipoatrophy at injection site

·

·       Neuromuscular & skeletal: Myalgia (type 1 diabetes: 7%; most likely secondary to excipient metacresol)

·

·       Respiratory: Flu-like symptoms (type 1 diabetes: 35%; type 2 diabetes: 6%), pharyngitis (type 1 diabetes: 33%; type 2 diabetes: 7%), rhinitis (type 1 diabetes: 25%; type 2 diabetes: 8%)

• Glycemic control: The most common adverse effect of insulin is hypoglycemia. The timing of hypoglycemia differs among various insulin formulations. Hypoglycemia may result from changes in meal pattern (eg, macronutrient content or timing of meals), changes in the level of physical activity, increased work or exercise without eating or changes to co-administered medications. Hyperglycemia is also a concern; may occur with CSII pump or infusion set malfunctions or insulin degradation; hyper- or hypoglycemia may result from changes in insulin strength, manufacturer, type or administration method. Use of long-acting insulin preparations (eg, insulin detemir, insulin glargine) may delay recovery from hypoglycemia. Patients with renal or hepatic impairment may be at a higher risk. Symptoms differ in patients and may change over time in the same patient; awareness may be less pronounced in those with long standing diabetes, diabetic nerve disease, patients taking beta-blockers or in those who experience recurrent hypoglycemia. Profound and prolonged episodes of hypoglycemia may result in convulsions, unconsciousness, temporary or permanent brain damage or even death. Insulin requirements may be altered during illness, emotional disturbances or other stressors. Instruct patients to use caution with ethanol; may increase risk of hypoglycemia.

• Hypersensitivity: Hypersensitivity reactions (serious, life-threatening and anaphylaxis) have occurred. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue administration and initiate supportive care measures.

• Hypokalemia: Insulin (especially IV insulin) causes a shift of potassium from the extracellular space to the intracellular space, possibly producing hypokalemia. If left untreated, hypokalemia may result in respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia and even death. Use with caution in patients at risk for hypokalemia (eg, loop diuretic use).

Monitoring

·       Monitor serum potassium frequently with IV insulin use and supplement potassium when necessary.

Nusing Implications Conclusion ANSWER Multiple pregnancy Multiple pregnancies are a condition that results from intricate interaction of environmental and genetic determinants.

Currently the condition is increasingly becoming frequent after a 30 to 40 year decrease trend. The following paper aims at discussing multiple pregnancy in detail. The paper shall cover epidemiology, pathphysiology, diagnostics, treatment, and nurses implications among other aspects. Multiple pregnancy is defined a condition that occurs when more than one fetus is maintained in a single pregnancy to the full term of birth (Kilby, 2006). The more than one fetus is known as twins and naturally occur about one in 100 births. Twin pregnancy results in two types of twins or fetus, identical and fraternal. In the identical twins, they represent the splitting of a sole fertilized zygote into two separate individuals while the fraternal twins represent two eggs being fertilized by a two different sperms (Kilby, 2006). Multiple pregnancy has over the years risen steadily since the 70s.

The current rise in multiple pregnancy incidences reflects the increased use of fertility drugs and the change in age distribution of women at birth, where more women are giving birth at older ages. In the late 80s, multiple pregnancy was 22 percent a figure higher than that recorded in the 70s of 18 percent (Ward Platt, Glinianaia & Rankin, 2006). In addition, over the past 10 years there has been an increase in triplets compared to twins. The occurrence of multiple pregnancy varies from nation to nation, with the elevated rates being recorded in Nigeria and the lowest in Japan. Rates also vary from ethnic and racial groups. The twinning rate in Caucasoid is about eight per a 1000 births and for Negroes about twice of that (Ward Platt, Glinianaia & Rankin, 2006). In the U.S, the black incidences rates exceed those of whites. Multiple pregnancy rates for Chinese, American Indian, Filipino, and Japanese is 24 to 43 percent lower than black births and 13 to 31 percent lower than the rates of white births. In Sweden, the multiple pregnancy rates has been significantly lower in towns than rural environs.

In contrast, Finland has reported a 1 to 2 percent increase of twinning rates in the rural community compared to urban community (Ward Platt, Glinianaia & Rankin, 2006). The variance is likely to be encouraged by differences in mean parity and age. Maternal pregnancy is accompanied with some risk factors the major one being maternal age. Multiple pregnancy rates have exorbitantly increased between the ages of 15 and 35 years. In other reports and studies, increase in twinning rate has increased with maternal age of up to 35 to 40 years. These results are very similar to studies about the mean age of singletons and mothers of twins and case-control studies (Kilby, 2006). This current pattern has been characterized by the subsequent decline in ovarian function of older women and the increase of levels of gonadotrophins with age, given the maximum stimulus of follicles occurs between the ages of 35 to 40. There has been a decrease in the twinning rates in women aged 40, which has initiate a lot of speculation to the causes. Selective means like increased abortions in multiple pregnancy in older women and environmental and genetic aspects are among some of the suspected cause that are just mere speculation. In multiple pregnancy prognoses, a history of earlier dizygotic twins boosts the probability of multiple pregnancy (Keith & Blickstein, 2005). In the U.S, the mortality rate of multiple pregnancy is merely higher than that of singleton. Hemorrhage is five times frequent in multiple pregnancy rates as in normal single pregnancy. However, multiple pregnancy has a higher probability of operative delivery and abnormal presentation, with increased complication. Common occurrences in multiple pregnancy include premature labor and premature rapture of membranes (Keith & Blickstein, 2005). In addition, prenatal morbidity and mortality rates are increased in multiple pregnancy, due to its complications and preterm delivery.

Complications associated with multiple pregnancy include placental abruption, placenta pervia, cord enlargement, postpartum In general, about 50 percent of twins weigh an estimated 2500 grams, although most of them have a gestational age of about 36 weeks or more (Keith & Blickstein, 2005). Multiple pregnancy accounts for 9 percent of prenatal deaths and 15 percent of premature births both directly or indirectly, which is 7 times the rate in normal single births (Keith & Blickstein, 2005). Occurrences of intrauterine development restriction are increased in multiple pregnancy. Abnormal presentation and congenital malformations are more severe in monozygous twins. Additionally, diabetes mellitus, Preeclampsia-eclampsia, and other disorders are likely to endanger the fetus. Multiple pregnancy is accompanied by several physiologic changes. During pregnancy, numerous adaptive changes occur in the maternal organism to ensure an optimal environment for the fetus growth. The physiologic adjustments take place in the woman or mother in reaction or response of the requirements of the pregnancy. These requirements include protection of the fetus, support of the fetus, preparation of the uterus for delivery and protection of the woman against probable cardiovascular harm during birth (Keith & Blickstein, 2005). All maternal systems or organism are supposed to adopt even though the degree, timing, and quality of the adaptation differ from one organ system to another and from one individual to another. Multiple pregnancy significantly influence the proper adaptation of the pregnancy demands. With the knowledge and understanding of physiologic adaptive transformations health care providers are able to predict pathology, foresee effects of twin pregnancy, and handle future and current pregnancy associated complications and disorders. Multiple pregnancy is deemed as a high risk pregnancy by health care providers, as the changes associated with it differ from those of a singleton pregnancy.

The changes generally differ due to the presence of more than one fetus in the uterine opening. Functional changes associated with multiple pregnancy include anatomical changes. The number of fetuses in the uterine cavity and the size of the uterus in determine these changes. In multiple pregnancy, the uterus grows bigger compared to the singleton pregnancy, during the 18th week the uterus is twice the size of the singleton pregnancy and during the 25th week the size is like that of a fully matured singleton pregnancy (Keith & Blickstein, 2005). Another significant anatomical change is related to the cervical length, which is vital in terms of the development duration. During multiple pregnancy, the cervical length condenses about 0.8 mm a week, a condition is a risk factor for the pregnancy but also definitely inclines the pregnancy to a premature birth. Furthermore, the amniotic fluid levels are higher compared to the singleton pregnancy. The fluid volume increases constantly until the second trimester and then alleviates during the commence of the third trimester (Kilby, 2006). Finally, in the anatomical changes weight gain differs from the singleton pregnancy. In multiple pregnancy, weight gain ought to be an estimated 16 to 20 kg, which is just about 0.6 kg per week (Kilby, 2006). In some cases a higher weight gain can be concluded to be an outcome of triplets or twins. This is because multiple pregnancy require more nutrition to support the fetuses compared to singleton. Apart from the anatomical changes, multiple pregnancy also has physiological changes. The first physiological change is in the circulatory system with the increased demand for oxygen. The demand for oxygen occurs early and is more intense compared to the singleton pregnancy (Kilby, 2006). The cardiac output enhances 30 to 40 percent by the end of the first trimester until it enhances to 50 percent greater than the output of a non-pregnant woman (Armour & Callister 2005).

This occurrence is significantly related to the increased blood circulation. This phenomenon is controversial. Nevertheless, is contemplation is the enlarged levels of placental hormones and commencement of rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Blood flow in the uterus and fetus increases 20 to 40 times compared to singleton pregnancy (Armour & Callister 2005). High concentrations of progestagens in twin pregnancy lead to a decline of diastolic blood pressure. This can cause the greater mass of the fetus, placentas, and amniotic fluid to compress neighboring vessels and organs causing supine hypotensive syndrome (Keith & Dera, 2007). Another physiological change occurs in the gastrointestinal system, where the frequency of emptying gastric acid is increased in multiple pregnancy. The appearance of gastric is so distinguishing that by itself it can propose a multiple pregnancy. Progesterone in the blood increases causing the intensification of the changes related to the performance of the gastrointestinal system (Keith & Dera, 2007). Progesterone directly damages peristalsis of the intestines and stomach decreasing food absorption. Most women suspect multiple pregnancy especially if they have never given birth before. For the sake of the unborn child or children, early pregnancy diagnosis is recommended especially in cases where the woman has applied reproductive technologies. The most common method of diagnosing multiple pregnancy is through ultrasound. However, there are other lab tests that are used in diagnosing multiple pregnancy (Keith & Dera, 2007). For instance, patients undergo a blood test, which the level of human constant gonadotrophin is higher in multiple pregnancy. Another method is the alpha-fetoprotein, which is involves the comparing of protein levels released by the fetal liver and levels found in the mothers blood because if it is high it means there is more than fetus making the protein. The most common and widely used is the ultrasound, which involves a imaging machine that uses a computer and high frequency sound waves to create images of organs, tissues, and blood vessels. In diagnosing multiple pregnancy, a stomach transducer is used to view the fetus and various body organs. This method is the most effective and easy to use. In treatment, various medications and surgical procedures are used. Due to the high risk of premature birth associated with multiple pregnancy, tocolytic medications can be administered to patients (Taylor, 2006). These are medications used to restrain premature delivery or labor.

Also they are used if the premature labor occurs by slowing or stopping constraints. The drugs may be administered intravenously, orally, or in an injection. tocolytic medications mostly used include magnesium sulfate and terbutaline (Taylor, 2006). Additionally corticosteroid medications can be administered to assist in developing the respiratory system of the fetus (Taylor, 2006). With the high risk of complications and abnormality in multiple pregnancy, fetuses are likely to develop immature lungs which is a common complication in immature babies. Health care providers also use surgical procedure for treating multiple pregnancy (Taylor, 2006). For instance, when dealing with women with an incompetent cervix health care providers use cerclage, a medical procedure for stitching the cervical opening (Taylor, 2006). In conclusion, multiple pregnancy is a high profile complication and nursing care should be administered appropriately. The patient should be monitored at all times and ensure the best experience in the resting or operation room. Nurses ought to maintain ethics and values in dealing with multiple pregnancy. In addition, they should consider legal issues associated with multiple pregnancy. References Armour K. & Callister L. (2005).

Order Description

Instructions: Copy of Guideline to follow, Copy of Milestone 2 included for reference, Copy of Wind Shield Survey included for reference, Nursing Components of the nursing process included: such as Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning, Implementation, Evaluation. Refer to Nies,& McEwen pg14,figure 1-3 Public Health Wheel. Also included is a helpful tool for Qualitative and Quantitative Methods of evaluation. My school use Turnitin for grading paper. Thank you

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE EVALUATION METHODS
For the final assignment in NR 443: Community Health Nursing, you will need to utilize a qualitative or
quantitative evaluation method to evaluate your proposed intervention.
Qualitative evaluation techniques generally are subjective data and can include methods such as:
• observation methods
• interviews
• focus groups
• other non-statistical data
Example:
If your proposed intervention is related to childhood obesity, you may want to interview the children
pre and post intervention to see if their attitude about food and health has changed. This would be a
qualitative evaluation method.
Example:
For the same intervention, you want to have a focus group with pre and post intervention with parents
to see if their children’s attitudes about food have changed. This would be a qualitative evaluation
method.
Quantitative evaluation techniques generally are objective data and can include methods such as:
• surveys/questionnaires
• pre/posttests
• physiologic data
• statistical analysis
Example:
Your proposed intervention is the same as the example above, but instead of an interview, you would
like to measure the children’s weight pre and post your intervention. This would be a quantitative
evaluation method.
Example:
Another example of a quantitative evaluation method would be having a pre and posttest on healthy
foods and importance of exercise. You would compare the pre intervention test results with the post to
measure if your intervention was effective.

Fall Creek Community Windshield Survey
Name: Date:
Instructor’s Name:
Criteria Your response
1. Community Introduction:
Identify the community you will be using for this assignment. It should be the area where you live or the area surrounding your work setting. The Fall Creek community is the one I chose for the Community Windshield Survey in which I have lived for the past six years. It is a US community that is master-planned in the unincorporated Harris County of Texas. Ralph (2004) reported that the 1300 acre community is about 3 miles from the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and is in the north of Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.

2. Windshield survey
a. Vitality This community is a transitional state in that it has beautiful, newly built homes with an architectural style similar to that of the 1930s. The houses are same to some of the historic ones within the community. Definite delineation is evident between the sections that aren’t updated and the restored section. The evidence of this comes from the condition of the residences as well as the maintenance of infrastructures like street lighting, sidewalks, and environmental sanitation.
b. Indicators of social and economic conditions There are many small restaurants and shops in the community’s residential areas. On the main thoroughfare bordering the community’s western edge, there are three fast-food chain restaurants. The city bus stops, which are marked well. The developed area has Pilates studio, yoga, high-end salon and butcher among many others. The three public designated parks have an open green space with limited playground equipment. Fall Creek appears to be dominated by the blacks in the older sections while the whites dominate the redeveloped ones. At any given time, the police appeared equal in all places. The community’s resource centers are many, same to the youth and senior centers.
c. Health Resources There is proximal to a large hospital with outpatient, inpatient, and emergency departments. The hospital campus is about one mile from the community’s age, and it doesn’t have a community clinic. There are two national chain drugstores proximal to the hospital with a staff nurse practitioner at daytime.
d. Environmental conditions related to health The community has a clean environment with fresh air in most places. However, the black dominated areas are somehow dirty with conspicuous dumping sites. Some sewerage systems are ineffective in that there are some places with leakages.
e. Social functioning The community has two high schools as well as two great schools with both lying opposite the community edges. Churches are many taking up business spaces or the long abandoned buildings. Only the community churches have community gatherings. Most students walk to and from school, and before and after classes, the streets are full of them.
f. Attitude toward health care The attitude towards health care varies between the white and black dominated areas. Most of the whites dominate the hospital while trying to receive care while the blacks are few.
3. Conclusion:
Provide a summary of your findings and your conclusion. What problems did you identify? The community has new buildings in most places with architectural designs similar to those of the 1930s. Black dominated areas are less developed than the white dominated ones. There are several social, health and economic facilities. However, the health and recreational facilities and schools are inadequate for the community since there is no community clinic in addition to a few schools. It’s hard to pass health information to the community at a faster rate because of this in addition to the findings that only churches are responsible for social gatherings. Waste disposal and the sewerage system pose a great danger to the health of the people in the community. Furthermore, most blacks don’t seek health care services compared to their white colleagues, which is a challenge in ensuring a healthy community. Therefore, the community has a lot to do so as to upgrade the living standards and health of its people.

NR443 Guidelines for Caring for Populations
Milestone 3: Intervention and Evaluation
PURPOSE
The purpose of this PowerPoint presentation is to provide an opportunity to develop a community health nursing intervention and evaluation tool for your identified community health problem (described in Milestone 2: Assessment and Diagnosis) and identify the components of the nursing process as it applies to a community or population.
COURSE OUTCOMES
This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes.
CO #2. Integrate clinical judgment in professional decision-making and implementation of the nursing process through analysis of community health nursing practice. (PO #4)
CO #6. Recognize effective nursing skills and collaborative techniques used with consumers and other healthcare providers within all levels of healthcare. (PO #2)
CO #8. Incorporate evidence-based practice in the planning of professional nursing care to individuals, families, aggregates, and communities. (PO #8)
SCENARIO
You are a Community/Public Health Nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of choice. You have identified a community health problem and have analyzed the data collected from your windshield survey and assessment & diagnosis assignments (the first two milestones). You have decided on one nursing intervention and need your organization’s approval for funding of this intervention. Your leadership team has agreed to listen to your proposal.
DIRECTIONS
• Choose a community health nurse setting. Some examples of settings are school nurse, parish nurse, home health nurse, nurse working in the health department (be specific to what area in the health department, e.g., WIC, STD clinic, health promotion, maternal-child health, etc.)
• Introduction: Introduce the identified problem, the purpose of the presentation, and reiterate at least one or two important findings that demonstrate this problem in your community (average of 1–2 slides)
• Proposed Intervention: Propose one community health nursing intervention that would address one or more of the major direct or indirect factors that contribute to the problem. Keep in mind the Public Health Intervention Wheel (Nies & McEwen, p. 14, figure 1-3) as your framework (average of 3-4 slides). Your intervention needs to be specific:
o Who is your target population?
o Where is this intervention taking place?
o Will it take place one time or multiple times?
o How will you reach out to your target population?
? How will you get your target population involved?
o What is the CH Nurses role in this intervention?
o Will you collaborate with anyone (e.g., physician’s office, church, local resources, etc.?)
o Is anyone else involved besides yourself (C/PHN)?
? If yes, are they paid or volunteers?
o What level(s) of prevention is your intervention addressing (primary, secondary and/or tertiary prevention)?
• Intervention Justification: Justify why the problem and your nursing interventions should be a priority.
o Based on what you have found in the literature, discuss why these interventions are expected to be effective. Include summarized information from at least two professional scholarly sources related to your interventions (average of 2-3 slides).
• Proposed Evaluation: Your presentation must include at least one proposed quantitative or qualitative evaluation method that you would use to determine whether your intervention is effective. It should include the method you would use along with desired outcomes. Outcome measurement is a crucial piece when implementing interventions. There is a helpful tool in Doc Sharing to assist you with understanding qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluation. (average of 2-3 slides)
o Include discussion about the long-term and short-term impact on your community if the intervention is successful. Keep in mind your desired outcomes when analyzing the evaluation.
• Summary: The summary should reiterate the main points of the presentation and conclude with what you are asking to be accomplished, e.g., “Based on ABC, it is imperative our community has XYZ. Thank you for your consideration.”
• In addition to the slides described above, your presentation should include a title slide, and reference slide. Remember, you are presenting to your leadership team, so the slides should include the most important elements for them to know in short bullet pointed phrases. You may add additional comments in the notes section to clarify information for your instructor.
GUIDELINES
• Application: Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2010.
• Length: The PowerPoint slide show is expected to be no more than 20 slides in length (not including the title slide and reference list slide).
BEST PRACTICES IN PREPARING POWERPOINT
The following are best practices in preparing this project:
• Be creative, but realistic with your intervention and evaluation tool.
• Incorporate graphics, clip art or photographs to increase interest.
• Slides should be easy to read with short bullet points and large font.
• Review directions thoroughly.
• Cite all sources within the slide show as well as on the reference page.
• Proofread prior to final submission.
• Spell check for spelling and grammar errors prior to final submission.
• Abide by the CCN academic integrity policy.

Sternberg and Gardner have proposed multiple-intelligence theories against traditional theories that focused on a single view of intelligence. Critics of multiple-intelligence theories ask whether every specialized skill must have a separate intelligence.

 

ESSY QUESTION: Sternberg and Gardner have proposed multiple-intelligence theories against traditional theories that focused on a single view of intelligence. Critics of multiple-intelligence theories ask whether every specialized skill must have a separate intelligence. On the other hand, studies of the brain have shown that it processes different categories of data in different parts of the brain. Evolutionary psychology analyzes the functioning of the brain to explain the human mind. Do you think that the evolutionary psychology approach answers the criticism leveled against multiple-intelligence approaches? You may find articles on this approach on the Internet and in your local libraries. Also research information on how the human brain processes different categories of data in different parts of the brain. Write a reflective essay based on your research.

Identify the ethical standards of the APA or ACA code specific to Janice's concerns that the counselor should follow to provide professional and ethical services.

/in /by

Ethical Codes and Standards

After moving from a big city to a rural setting, Janice is suffering from anxiety and depression because of adjustments to the change. She wants to seek counseling services to help her adjust. Janice has always valued her privacy and is finding it difficult to commit to seeing a counselor in a rural setting. The community has only one mental health counselor. Janice fears that if she begins counseling sessions, people will learn that she is undergoing therapy. In addition, Janice is a devoted Catholic and is aware that the counselor is a devout Jehovah’s Witness, as is most of the community. Janice is apprehensive that the counselor might try to encourage her to convert. She is desperate to talk to someone and does not know where to turn.

  • Identify the ethical standards of the APA or ACA code specific to Janice’s concerns that the counselor should follow to provide professional and ethical services.
  • Identify specific sections of the ethical code, described in your own words, which may apply to Janice’s situation.
  • Describe, using the scenario, why ethical standards are important for client progress.
