Assignment Description: For this week assignment, write a 1500-word essay addressing each of the following points/questions. Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 10, which begins “The elderly patient resided at the nursing home for almost a year before she died at the hospital.” Did the lack of documentation in the admitting nurse’s assessment and notes affect the ultimate outcome of this case? Was there negligence on the part of the nursing staff in the care of this patient? What could the nurse have done differently to facilitate a different outcome in this case? How would you decide this case? Using the sample professional liability insurance policy (Chapter 11 p. 191-192 Figure 11-1) locate the various provisions: Limits of liability Declarations Deductibles Exclusions Reservation of rights Covered injuries Defense costs Coverage conditions and supplementary payments Did you have difficulty finding some of the sections? Would this be a policy that you would consider purchasing for your own liability coverage? Why or why not? Read the case study presented at the end of Chapter 11, You Be the Judge, which begins, “During an unexpected heat wave,…” (Guido, p. 195): What provisions of an insurance policy would you consult to determine if an insurance company should pay such a claim, and what would the limits of the liability be? Is the nursing home insurance company correct in saying that this is a professional judgment issue? Which insurance company (the nursing home’s or that of the administrator of the nursing home, assuming she has coverage) should pay the court-ordered judgment? How would you decide the case? Please combine all of these responses into a single Microsoft Word document for submission. Submit only completed assignments (not partial or “draft” assignments). Be thorough in your responses to adequately address all aspects of each question. Submit only the assignments corresponding to the module in this section.

Tasks: 1. Locate a nursing study that examines the effects of an intervention. Provide a summary of the study, focusing primarily on the intervention. Was the development and implementation of the intervention described in detail? Based on a theoretical framework? Did the design of the study promote investigation of the effects of the study—for example, was there comparison of experimental and control groups? Were there variables that could have impacted the findings that were not part of the intervention? Was there evidence of efforts to monitor the safety of participants? Are there any ways that the study could have been improved?
