Throughout this course, you have explored a wide range of health assessments and abnormal examination findings. Although you have predominantly focused on the procedural aspects of health assessment, this week, you will focus on ethical considerations that should be taken into account when advising patients or their families.
This week, you will consider how evidence-based practice guidelines and ethical considerations factor into health assessments. You will also evaluate health assessment concepts related to medical religious beliefs and infertility complications in oncology patients.
There are two assignments – (1) Final Exam (Weeks 7 through 11); (2) Ethical Scenarios. The ethical scenarios should be one page, single-spaced. Address every case study.

Week 11: The Ethics Behind Assessment
Throughout this course, you have explored a wide range of health assessments and abnormal examination findings. Although you have predominantly focused on the procedural aspects of health assessment, this week, you will focus on ethical considerations that should be taken into account when advising patients or their families.
This week, you will consider how evidence-based practice guidelines and ethical considerations factor into health assessments. You will also evaluate health assessment concepts related to medical religious beliefs and infertility complications in oncology patients.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Apply evidence-based practice guidelines to make an informed healthcare decision
Apply ethical considerations to a health assessment response
Apply concepts, theories, and principles relating to sports physicals and well-child and well-woman examinations
Identify concepts, theories, and principles related to advanced health assessment
As an advanced practice nurse, you will run into situations where a patient’s wishes about his or her health conflict with evidence, your own experience, or a family’s wishes. This may create an ethical dilemma. What do you do when these situations occur?
In this Lab Assignment, you will explore evidence-based practice guidelines and ethical considerations for specific scenarios.
To Prepare
Review the scenarios provided by your instructor for this week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements†section of the classroom for your scenarios.
Based on the scenarios provided:
The Lab Assignment
Write a detailed one-page narrative (not a formal paper) explaining the health assessment information required for a diagnosis of your selected patient (include the scenario number). Explain how you would respond to the scenario as an advanced practice nurse using evidence-based practice guidelines and applying ethical considerations. Justify your response using at least three different references from current evidence-based literature.
