Implications for Advanced Nursing Practice APNs possess the ability to decrease the number of CHD deaths by advocating for health care policy changes and providing patient education. The APN’s role in health promotion remains paramount at the individual, community, state, and national levels. At the individual level, an APN may utilize the 5A’s model: ask, advise, agree, assist, arrange; which serves as a timely, evidenced-based practice to address behavioral health risks (USDHHS, 2012a).

involved with the care of the patient and inform family members of wishes and documents. One important document that needs to be done is a “do not resuscitate order (DNR)” it allows and put notice to healthcare providers not to attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or defibrillation. This document is put in place when measures are unlikely to revive a dying person or prolong their life.

Everyday our bodies need oxygen and different nutrients to function properly but in order to maintain that constancy, our blood has to be constantly moving. And in order for our cells to get transported and get everything they need, the heart needs to be beating. The cardiovascular system makes sure the levels of substances in the blood is constant by transporting these substances as circumstances change. The heart is located in the lower part of the mediastinum between the lungs. Most…

To “prolong life” in the medical field; it is a word often thrown around as to how how to keep a human’s heart beating as long as possible regardless if it is done artificially. The “prolonged of life” becomes known as…

The following clinical cases are derived from an academic medical center in the state of Missouri during the author’s career as a Registered Nurse (RN). The cases are used to demonstrate dignity, beneficence, sympathy, nonmaleficence, respect for autonomy, and veracity. While the first case exhibits allowing a choice to occur, the second case counterpoints by exhibiting forcing a choice that may have otherwise not have happened. (This isn’t very fluid and I’m not sure if I should add more here……

further suggests that non-physical entities exist. Out of the three elements of near-death experiences discussed in this paper, out-of-body experience is the element with the most scientific backing. Out-of-body experiences occur during CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), when the patient is “clinically dead”. During this process, patients report being able to see the room from a spot above their physical body. Doctors and nurses present in the room can then later verify the patient’s…
