Restraints in Mental Health Setting
The topic I selected that has both legal and ethical implications for PMHNP practices is restraints. Restraints come in three forms: chemical, physical, and seclusion. Restraints are used on both adults and children for one reason, which is to decrease the chase of the patient causing harm to themselves or to people around them. The use of restraints is always used as a last option, and strict guidelines must be followed when a healthcare worker decides to restrain a patient. According to Ye (2017), since physical restraints have caused adverse effects to both patients and nurses, this topic has various clinical and ethical controversies in mental health services. For years the use of any form of restraint has had major backlash due to the ethical concerns regarding safety, injury, justice and autonomy. This article goes into further detail to explain how patients should be addressed as “human” rather than be labeled “insane” under any circumstances. There have been even more ethical considerations when it comes to the restraint of children, rather than adults. According to Nielson (2021), there are ethical, moral, and legal considerations associated with the implementation of restraints in the mental health setting, including dispro ...
Minimum standards for child protection in the humanitarian crises: general standards for children and psycho-social aid

Preventive psychiatry in india: Preventing on Child Psychiatric FrontDevashish Konar
Parenting training of would-be-parents, early detection of vulnerable children and timely intervention are some of the efforts that will give large dividend. We have very limited number of child psychiatrists. So including general psychiatrists, pediatricians, family physicians, health workers and teachers would be the most suited public health strategy for India. They need to be trained to work within their limits and need to learn to refer at the right time without wasting precious time of the growing children and adolescents.

1. BackgroundYou work as the DOS (Dean of Students) at a faith-AbbyWhyte974
1. Background:
You work as the DOS (Dean of Students) at a faith-based, private, medium-sized, liberal arts school in the south. Your student population is 5,000 with 3,0000 undergraduate students. Your undergraduate population is approximately 80% white/Caucasian with the remaining approximately 20% of the undergraduate population made up of minorities: African American (85% of total 20%), Hispanic/Latino Americans (8%), Asian Americans (7%) as well as Native Americans (5%). Currently, within the student affairs model at your institution, there is no established multicultural office and your programming funding has not changed since 2010 (limited resources).
Scenario:
You have been approached by some of your minority student leaders (students involved in CAB, SGA, Orientation) in creating more specific opportunities for engaging new minority students in order to help with retaining more minority students. After meeting with the students several times, a meeting is finally accepted by the President of your institution. He is in favor of moving forward but tells the students that he would like for this endeavor to be organic in its approach and lead by the students in creating these new programs. He doesn't think a top-down approach (creating a Multicultural Affairs office) is the right fit but tasks you with helping this new student initiative.
What approach would you, the DOS, take in helping these students? How much involvement should you, the DOS, have in this creation to keep it truly 'student-driven'?
2. Tinto’s (1993) model of college departure has indicated that the greater a student’s academic and social integration, the more connected the student will be to the institution. Tinto (1993) goes on to indicate that orientation is the groundwork to achieving academic and social integration. Do you think that Tinto's (1993) model is still applicable to Gen Z and is orientation truly the right place to start?
3. Does 'student life programming' strengthen the academic enterprise? If so, then how? If not, why not pour funding back into strengthening academics? Please provide one recent article (2009-Present) that provides evidence for your answer.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
