How does morality impact the principles of just war, particularly with regard to jus in bello (conduct of war)

This week we will look at the conduct of war in terms of morality and how it is viewed by pacifists. We’ll also consider whether or not a preventive war can ever be just. Post ONE highly responsive post of at least 300 words by Friday night on one of this week’s three topics. You do not need to respond to classmates for this posting because of the Midterm Exam.

Morality

Based on this week’s readings, when is it okay to ignore morality? Is it ever okay? How does morality impact the principles of just war, particularly with regard to jus in bello (conduct of war)? What is the “just soldier’s dilemma” discussed in the article by Harbour? Can the actions of soldiers be considered just in what is considered an unjust war? What about the other way around? If a war is considered just, does this mean the conduct of the war is also just? How did morality play into the past conflicts mentioned in our readings?

Share some thoughts on one or two of these questions to get some discussion started. Don’t try covering all questions; leave something for others to add.

Preventive Wars

What do our readings suggest about preventive wars? Can they ever satisfy just war principles?

Let others add their thoughts.

Christian Nonviolence and Pacifism

What is meant by Christian nonviolence and by pacifism? Are they the same thing? Why or why not? How do these groups of people view war and the conduct of war?

Any thoughts on Koontz’ question about why we spend so much time focusing on whether or not we can achieve a just war, but little time on whether or not we can maintain/achieve a “just peace”? What did he mean by that?

Share some thoughts on just one question and leave some for others to cover.

ongoing changes in the health-care landscape

The ongoing changes in the health-care landscape are influenced most by globalization, economic and technological factors, and the aging of the population. The complexity of the healthcare environment requires us to examine the leadership needs for the APN roles that are applicable for today and the future (Joel, 2018). In chapter 21 (Leadership for APNs: If Not Now, Then When?) the author outlines serval leadership theories or styles including:

  • Situational or Contingency Leadership;
  • Servant Leadership;
  • Transformational or Transactional Leardershp;
  • Relational Leadership;
  • Clinical Leadership and Congruent Leadership.

Select one of the above leadership theories or style.

  1. Using your own words define the theory.
  2. Considering the various APN roles (Clinician, Educator, Researcher, Administrator, Entrepreneur, Consultant, and Leader) describe how you might use the leadership theory in your future APN role.
  3. From your experience as a professional nurse, give one example of the selected leadership theory or style as seen in action or provide an exemplary example.

Child abuse and maltreatment in children of school-age years

2 DQ 1

Child abuse and maltreatment in children of school-age years. School age years is described as from 6 to 12 years of age. The types of abuse commonly seen among children of school age years are: Neglect, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and sexual abuse. The warning signs and physical and emotional assessment findings that the nurse may see that could indicate child abuse are: The child looks unkempt, he is fearful, unhappy, and withdrawn, he does not go to school or is always late at school and sleeps while the class is going on and is uninterested at his surroundings, he is small for age and there are bruises and fractures at different stages of healing, and the care takers explanations are twisted. (Shaw 2018)

Different cultural health practices that can be misidentified as child abuse is rebuking a child when he does something wrong, flogging or spanking a child to correct disobedience, or even female circumcision as the people that practice it believe it will cub promiscuity, others are like sending children to sell or fetch water. While this holds sway in some countries, it is regarded as child abuse in orders. (Jenni 2018)

The reporting mechanism in my state Kentucky and the nurse responsibilities related to the reporting of suspected child abuse is that if it is suspected a child is being abused or neglected, contact is made to Kentucky’s Statewide Child Abuse Hotline Number 1 877 597 2331 to make a report. One can also go online to the Child Reporting System Monday-Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 pm (EST) to make a report. And the nurse is a mandated child abuse reporter. This means that she is legally obliged to: make a report as soon as possible to Child Protection if she believes on a reasonable ground that a child is being abused. (Daro 2019)

MENTAL HEALTH NURSE PRACTITIONER

Discussion: Interaction Between Nurse Informaticists and Other Specialists

Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of nature’s sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.

Of course, humans don’t fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.

In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.

                                                  To Prepare: 

Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of      nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.

Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization

 

Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.
