Scenario: A 96-year-old male patient is admitted to the ICU with terminal liver cancer. He is confused and disoriented very skinny and appears underfed and is covered with bruises which are common in patients with liver disorders. His daughter who is a naturopathic physician insists that she can cure her father by administering unknown substances some of which smell like feces and look like tar down his NG tube. He is clearly in pain after she does this. She insists that these are life-saving interventions on her part but the nursing and physician staff caring for the patient are very upset and concerned that she is hastening his death. They have come to you for help.1) Write a paper (1 250-1 500 words) that describes how to use the method of ethical decision making reviewed in the module to help resolve this ethical dilemma. Address the following to generate your conclusions about how you would proceed:a) What are the dimensions of the ethical dilemma?b) What are the issues?c) Apply the four core ethical principles and the process of ethical decision making.2) Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines.

Conceptual Components of TheoryAs with research concepts play a critical role in theory development. Consider for a moment the purpose of theory and its application to nursing practice. At the heart of any theorywhich seeks to describe explain predict or prescribelies the concept or concepts to be explored or addressed. Within the iterative process of theory development concepts must be defined and refined as the relationships between them are identified in order to articulate reality and inform effective practice.To prepare:By Tuesday 6/20/17 post 550 words essay in APA format with 3 references from the list below that include the level one headings as numbered below:1) Discuss the conceptual components of your selected middle range theory as applied to nursing practice. Example: (Kristen Swansons Middle Range Theory of Caring)2) How are these components observed and measured in practice? Provide at least two specific examples.3) Share any insights into how the theory has developed or changed based on the testing of the concepts.Required ReadingsMcEwin M. & Wills E.M. (2014).
