Based on their family history, it would be beneficial to screen both Sami and Samir for diabetes and hypertension. This screening would help detect any underlying conditions early and allow for treatment to prevent future harm. Screening them aligns with the principles of beneficence to promote their health and well-being, as well as non-maleficence to avoid any potential future harm from undiagnosed conditions.
Professionalism in medicine encompasses a set of values including competence, integrity, compassion, respect and dedication to service. It emerged as a concept in the 1990s in response to the growing business model of healthcare and need to reinforce ethical principles. Professionalism is important for medical students to understand as it forms the basis of the patient-physician relationship and trust. While professional values have long existed, it is important for students to dedicate themselves to living according to these ideals from the beginning of their training through compassionate care for patients.
Lecture on Professionalism in Medicine, prepared and presented by Dr. Mohamed Alrukban and Dr. Ghaiath Hussein for 4th year medical students in the Medical Ethics Course on Monday Febraury 5, 2012.
This document discusses various topics relating to medical ethics theories and principles, including:
- The scope of ethics in medical practice and various theories like deontological and consequentialist.
- Key principles like beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, truth-telling, confidentiality, and preservation of life.
- Issues around euthanasia, living wills, resource allocation, and contraception for minors.
Professionalism is the buzzword and used in all discussions of Medical Ethics and Health Professional Ethics.Over the last decade, health professional associations are embracing Professionalism to oppose financial motives of the for-profit corporate players from interfering with the fiduciary relationship between Provider and the Client.
Humorous cartoons have been added to provide non-offensive mild punches and aid critical self-reflection..
Medical ethics refers to rules that regulate professional conduct of doctors towards patients and society. Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath upon qualifying, which binds them to certain ethical principles like beneficence, non-maleficence and informed consent. The practice of medicine and ethics are inseparable, as every clinical decision has an ethical component. It is important for doctors to understand ethical frameworks and consider perspectives beyond just their medical knowledge to make decisions regarding patient care that are both medically sound and ethically justified.

The document outlines the key elements of medical professionalism which include altruism, accountability, excellence, honesty and integrity, duty, respect and compassion for patients. It defines professionalism as adhering to high ethical standards and prioritizing patient welfare over other considerations. The elements are described as qualities professionals should demonstrate both for themselves as well as in their interactions with patients.
The document discusses several issues in medical ethics raised by new technologies, including who decides whether a patient lives or dies, the boundaries of medical research, and obtaining informed consent. It notes that medical research and patient care have different standards for consent. Key considerations for ethical medical research are obtaining informed consent from subjects, properly assessing risks and benefits, and fair selection of subjects without biases or marginalization. The document also discusses opinions on medical futility, emergency treatment without consent, and allowing clinical trials.
This document provides an overview of medical ethics. It discusses the principles of medical ethics including non-maleficence, beneficence, autonomy, and social responsibility. Important ethical codes for the medical profession are outlined such as the Hippocratic Oath, Declaration of Geneva, and the Indian Medical Council Regulations.

This document provides an introduction and overview of nursing research. It discusses the objectives of understanding the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, the tools used for conducting research, what research is, the process of doing nursing research, and its importance. Nursing research helps develop knowledge about health and develops evidence-based practices to improve patient care and outcomes. It explains the research process which involves defining a problem, developing a hypothesis, collecting and analyzing data, discussing results. Both qualitative and quantitative methodologies are covered, with qualitative focusing on open-ended methods to understand perspectives and quantitative using numerical data to find patterns. Nursing research is important for adopting evidence-based practices and developing consistent, well-founded practices that improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
Day four qualitative workshop presentation Dagu Project
I apologize for interrupting, but I noticed the facilitator asked an open-ended question and the respondent provided a short yes/no answer without elaboration. It may be helpful for the facilitator to use prompts like "Can you tell me more about that?" or reflections like "It seems like there may be more to the story" to encourage the respondent to expand on their response. Open-ended questions followed by active listening and occasional prompts tend to yield richer qualitative data.
Who can be a trainer and what does the role entail? Ameli Tropétriumphbenelux
The document discusses the role of the colposcopy trainer and what qualifications and skills are needed. It states that trainers should be trained colposcopists who have also attended a train-the-trainer (TTT) course. The role of the trainer includes providing clinical supervision, ensuring trainees have adequate experience, maintaining a learning environment, assessing trainee progress, and ensuring training programs are successfully completed. Effective trainers understand learning theories, can provide helpful feedback, and engage and motivate students. When few trainers are available, the document recommends training local clinicians as trainers through external programs and using tools like TTT courses to develop training skills.

Medically Assisted Dying in (MAiD) Ireland - Mapping the Ethical Terrain (May...Dr Ghaiath Hussein
This document outlines a presentation on mapping the ethical terrain of medically assisted dying (MAiD) in Ireland. It does not take a stance but provides a framework to guide conceptual discussion. It focuses on the decision, decision makers, and outcomes using Canada as an example country that has legalized MAiD. Key ethical questions are raised about patients' autonomy and consent, physicians' conflicting duties, and impacts on public perception and resource allocation. Data from Canada on MAiD providers and annual reported deaths is presented. The conclusion emphasizes the need for evidence from all stakeholders and learning from other jurisdictions' experiences before a decision is made.
Research or Not Research? This Is Not the Question for Public Health Emergencies
November 17, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
Speaker:
Ghaiath Hussein, Assistant Professor, Medical Ethics and Law, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
About this Seminar:
Public health emergencies, whether natural or man-made, local or global, in peacetime or during armed conflicts are always associated with the need to collect data (and sometimes biological samples) about and from those affected by these emergencies. One of the central questions in the relevant literature is whether the activities that involve the collection of data and/or biological samples are considered ‘research’, with the subsequent endeavour to define what ‘research’ is and whether they should be submitted for ethical approval or not. In this seminar, I will argue that this is not the central question when it comes to research/public health/humanitarian ethics. Using the findings of a systematic review on the research conducted in Darfur and findings from a qualitative project that aimed at defining what constitutes ‘research’ in public health emergencies I will, alternatively, present what I refer to as the ‘ethical characterization’ of these research-like activities and how they can be ethically guided.
Medically assisted dying in (MAiD) Ireland - mapping the ethical terrainDr Ghaiath Hussein
This document provides an outline for a presentation on medically assisted dying (MAiD) in Ireland. It aims to establish an ethical framework for conceptual discussion of MAiD by considering: the decision, the decision makers, and the outcome. It does not endorse any viewpoint. The presentation raises several ethical questions around patient autonomy and consent, concepts of life and death, the role of healthcare providers, and impacts on community and public trust. Examples are provided from Canada, where MAiD is legal, to illustrate challenges in practice. The document stresses the need for evidence from all stakeholders and learning from other jurisdictions' experiences before legalizing MAiD in Ireland.

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...Nursing Mastery
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.
nursing management of patient with Empyema pptblessyjannu21
prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, SPN
Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.
