Assignments 1) Utilize Readings/Resources 2) Ethical Two Minute Paper Writing Activity (10 points) This assignment is a freestyle writing assignment. The student creates an initial Ethical Two Minute Paper, giving rapid feedback on one of the topics below.

Patients have the right to die or to commit suicide? b. Abortion is ethical? c. Medical use of marijuana should be legal? d. Patients should always be told the truth? e. Severely impaired newborns should be allowed to die? f. You should donate your organs after death?

Following this time of reflection, add a reflection section to your Ethical Two Minute Paper and discuss all of the following: 1) any morals that guided your thoughts 2) any values that guided your response 3) how moral reasoning guided your response (pages 144-146 in your Black text may help you) 4) how the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nursing would guide you through this question 5) any conflicting feelings you feel regarding the topic you chose This is a freestyle writing assignment.

Please take this time to look at the upcoming due date and at the grading rubric for the paper to think about a topic for this assignment. The grading rubric is available in the NURS 300 Syllabus – Appendix D. It is also provided below at the bottom of this module. b. I’d be glad to talk to students about their topic selections, if that would be helpful. An Ethical Dilemma Paper Assignment Review Session Video is available in this module. Students should review the recording to prepare for this assignment. c. Reminder that students have many APA formatting resources available to them. To name a few: • APA PowerPoint Presentation and resources in NURS 300 Table of Contents • RN to BSN Program Information Center (Course listed in student’s D2L Brightspace Course listings) – go to Materials, Content, and then APA Format Resources • SMSU McFarland Library Research Guides, Nursing Program, Citing in APA Format • Please remember that using programs that have citation shortcuts for students to cut and paste do not assure accurate APA formatting- so please double check them 4) Resources Again, as students create their Ethical Dilemma Paper, they have an opportunity for a draft review of their paper. This is totally optional. If they would like a draft review of their paper, they need to please place the rough draft of their paper in the Ethical Dilemma Paper Draft Assignment Dropbox by the due date on the NURS 300 calendar. Again this is totally optional, but most students who use the draft review resource tend to be more satisfied with the end result of their paper. The student’s paper does not have to be fully developed to be submitted. A rough draft may be submitted. Also, the rough draft of the paper will not be evaluated for APA style or writing quality - as students may connect with the SMSU Writing Center, or Tutor.com, for that. The draft review will give students general guidance for the content of their paper. It is optional for students to request a draft review of their Ethical Dilemma Paper. 5) Again - Upcoming Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment – Opportunity to Collaborate in Teams for this assignment at the end of the semester. I will make note of this again this week. Students will have the option to work alone or collaborate as teams for the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment that will be due Week 14 in NURS 300. Students have started to get to know each other over the past three weeks of NURS 300. They will continue to get to know each other throughout the remainder of NURS 300. If they would like to collaborate together as a team, they may start creating teams. I will give them until the end of Week 8 in NURS 300 to create teams for this upcoming assignment. To learn more about this assignment, and the opportunity to collaborate as teams, please see the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resource Module provided in the NURS 300 table of contents (between Module 13 and Module 14). Here is information regarding team creation. 1) Create a team of no more than 5 students (2-5 students). 2) Let faculty member know the members of the team prior to the end of Week 8. 3) View the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact Review Video found in the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Resource Module provided in the NURS 300 table of contents (between Module 13 and Module 14). 4) The teams must complete a Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact form and provide the faculty member with this form by the end of Week 8 (for convenience, the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact form and assignment dropbox will be available in the NURS 300 modules each week through Module 8). 5) These teams will not be changed following submission of team members and the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Compact. 6) Each member of the team will complete a Mustang Nursing Learning Team Evaluation form upon completion and submission of the Standards of Professional Nursing Practice Assignment during Week 14. No grade will be granted until all members of the team have submitted the Mustang Nursing Learning Team Evaluation. Updated 9-14-20 ______________________________________________________________________________ Appendix D - Ethical Dilemma Paper Each student will use the provisions in the American Nurses Association Code of Ethics for Nurses and write a paper about an ethical dilemma. The paper will begin with an ethical dilemma the nurse has been part of, witnessed in their practice as a nurse, or learned about through professional literature. After explaining the ethical dilemma, the student will use ethical provisions and ethical principles to help guide the decision making surrounding their ethical dilemma. The paper will reflect information literacy by the student accessing, utilizing, formatting, citing, and documenting relevant resources accurately and correctly. Pages 156-158 in the Black (2020) text will give the student a suggested format to use in their paper development, following the Ethical Decision-Making Model. APA Format and editorial style must be used. Avoid plagiarism by adhering to the rules for paraphrasing, summarizing, and the use of quotations, as well as the conventions for incorporating information from Internet-based resources.
