    The role and responsibilities of an RN especially with regards to medication administration, hold great significance as they coincide with legislations and codes. According to the discussed documents, Jo’s lack of competence was evident as demonstrated through her medication error, she had an inability to keep to her scope of practice and also to the medication management system created in the residential aged facility. Jo did not practice ethical nursing as the ethical issues that arose in this scenario were not dealt with correctly; she did not ask for help when she needed it, nor did she show respect to her colleague’s (the prescribers) role when she took on the role of the prescriber herself. Neither did she demonstrate the important values…

    The best short story I have read is, “Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros. The story is about a little girl who is narrating where she is caught between the ‘old’ world and the ‘new’ world. I like the mixture of Spanish words in the story such as La Virgen de Guadalupe and la ofrenda because it gives a sense of a different culture. I also like the humorous use of the ‘awful grandmother’ because the reader can visualize a specific heritage and cultural behavior. I enjoy this short story, it reminds me of my Heritage because of how hispanic grandmas pray then give ofrendas at church and take their time while doing so.…

    In his clinic I met a particular type of people that I would normally not see in the city, and I noticed details such as the way they act, they way they speak, and even the way they smelled that was detestable for me at the time; thus, I asked my dad why he chose to rent a clinic so far away, and deal with people who were so different. To this day I still remember my father’s response “A doctor does not segregate”. Reflecting on this response, I later realized that if my father was not the person to challenge his own comfort and rent that clinic, the villagers would have had an even more limited access to doctor. Furthermore, I realized the deep extent of a doctor’s role in a patient 's life as my father would often receive gifts such as fruits and dairy from the villagers. During my time in Persia besides my father, who set an example for me as a doctor, my mother who is a midwife also manifested to me the capabilities that a doctor must have.…
