Medication Error: Stroke

Medication Error: Stroke

Hello, I do need this paper in APA format and original writing. Also, a title page. Thank you! I will provide a list of resources used in my course, but any current scholarly resources are appropriate. 

 

 

Assigned scenario

AC is a 72-year-old male who is admitted to your ICU after suffering a massive stroke that has left him unresponsive and unable to communicate.  He is currently on a ventilator.  It was discovered that the stroke was the result of a medication error. His wife of 48 years is available along with their one adult daughter.  The wife informs you that they don’t have any advanced directives, but she is “pretty sure her husband would not want to live like this.”  However, their daughter is adamant her dad would want to be kept alive in case there is any chance to come out of this.

 

 

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

 

  • Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario you selected on all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patient’s family.
  •  
  • Describe strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure as identified in the scenario you selected. Be sure to reference laws specific to your state.
  •  
  • Explain two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your decision making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose your error. Be sure to justify your explanation.
  •  
  • Explain the process of writing prescriptions, including strategies to minimize medication errors.
