Hello Professor and class,
Ethical guidelines ensure patients are safe from harm. Having someone prescribe a medication who is not properly educated on the possible side effects, directions, doses, drug interactions and many other implications is considered unethical. A huge component of prescribing ethically includes examining the patients’ needs for the current situation in which they are seeking medical help for which was not done in this case study (Duquesne University, 2020). There is also a legal implication due to providers having the responsibility to make informed medical decisions before prescribing medications due to potential side effects, drug interactions etc. If the doctor prescribes the wrong medication, inappropriate dosages, or misinforms about the possible side effects they could be held liable (Harris, 2020). This will clearly affect everyone including the practice. Practicing without a license will presume this care was negligent. If this individual was injured this could justify punitive damages. If this was ruled in favor of, compensation for the harm would be involved as well as additional penalties for “deceiving the victim” (Suszek, 2023). This would cost the practice in fines as well as diminish their reputation. A medical director is in charge of running the facility, implementing regulations, budgets and many other things. This problem will quickly become their problem when trying to sort out this situation. As for the medical assistant, I am going to discuss the punishment where I live because it can vary depending on state. In Florida this medical assistant is practicing without a license and as a first-time offense this would usually be a first-degree misdemeanor. The penalties for this can include up to one year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines (The Law Place, n.d.).
I clearly do not think this medical assistant was trying to be malicious by her actions. However, she is probably not aware of the implications behind these actions and needs to be educated about what can happen if she does not follow her scope of practice. Therefore, to ensure this does not happen again, everyone needs to be educated about their roles. This is not just directed to medical assistants, but others could be informed how to best utilize them in their practice. It was stated in the case study that this was a busy primary care practice, and management should work to improve the stressful conditions for these workers. They have a lot of different roles and should have the efficient help to get their tasks done but understand exactly what they can and cannot do (Family Medicine, 2022). I also believe something in the computer system would have to be changed. It should not be that easy for someone without the proper education to put in a prescription. I think everyone needs a pin number or password to put in medications for patients.
A leadership quality I would apply is setting ethical standards. Healthcare lacking ethics can have extremely harmful effects on patients lives. Leaders that have built a reputation around integrity can set ethical standards for their team members and influence them to do the same. Another positive change would be having accountability. We all will make mistakes and being accountable for your actions will be favorable for your team. Lastly, applying mentorship is very important, in this circumstance there were many nurse practitioners, and providers that would all be very good leaders. Mentors are able to assess and support others to acquire the necessary skills to exceed in their role (DeVry University, 2022).

HUM 1050 – Introduction to Literature
Assignment #2: Two Mediums – Evaluative Essay – Initial Submission
For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You'll use the short story “The bear came over the mountain” (Munro, 2013) and the film
Away from Her (Egoyan et al., 2006). You will begin working on this assignment with reading, viewing, drafting.
For this essay, the short story is the source material. You are going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. First, you must establish the criteria. What makes the short story successful? You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You'll write about these in the first section of your paper.
This essay should:
· have specific criteria, using the short story as source material
· use that criterion to make judgments about the film
· support the judgment with evidence from the text and film
· be 1000 words long
· have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)
· In this case, we're making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis. Remember — this judgment is not about the film or text is good or bad. It's about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story.
· include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs
· be written using APA formatting
· use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page
· avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)
· be submitted as a MS Word .docx file
References and Citations:
Citation: (Munro, 2013).
Add paragraph numbers with direct quotes (Munro, 2013, para. 4).
All citations should be: (Egoyan et al., 2006).
Add timestamp number with direct quotes.

The PICO(T) question is, “Among hospitalized patients, does using two identifiers compared to one reduce medical errors?” My clinical issue of interest is the reduction of medical errors. Medical errors are gaps in care that bear potential or actual capacity to harm the patient, such as inaccurate diagnosis and incomplete diagnosis (Aljabari & Kadhim, 2021). These have the ripple effect of inappropriate investigations and treatment, then adverse care outcomes (Aljabari & Kadhim, 2021). Some solutions to medical errors include proper identification of patients, thorough history taking, and comprehensive physical examination. One evidence-based method for patient identification is using two identifiers rather than one (Mroz et al., 2019). Therefore, I am prompted to investigate whether using two identifiers compared to one among hospitalized patients reduces medical errors.
Search results discussion
Regarding my search results, 19,600 articles appeared on the initial original search. As I added search terms such as two identifiers, one identifier, medical errors, and hospitalized patients using Boolean operators such as AND, NOT, and AND NOT, the number of articles appearing kept reducing. At first, they declined to 18,500, then to 17,200, and so on, in a declining trend.
Strategies to optimize database search on my PICO(T) question
There are several strategies I can apply to optimize how effective a database search is while searching my PICO(T) question. These include having a specific search question, using Boolean operators, using more specific keywords, and using fewer synonyms (Degbelo & Teka, 2019). An example of a particular question is a PICO(T) question, which narrows down to a particular population, intervention, control, outcome, and timing. A more specific example is my PICO(T) question that reads, “Among hospitalized patients, does the use of two identifiers compared to one identifier reduce medical errors?” Besides, examples of Boolean operators are OR, AND, NOT, and AND NOT (Degbelo & Teka, 2019). Specific keywords, like particular search questions, direct the search further, optimizing it to give the best results. An example of keywords in my case includes “hospitalized patients,” “two identifiers,” “one identifier,” and “reduce medical errors.” Lastly, using fewer synonyms helps fetch more search results, broadening your search outcome and choosing relevant resources (Degbelo & Teka, 2019). Applying such strategies helps to make the search process more effective and thorough.
