Discuss and draw a conclusion as to whether this study will likely be exempt, expedited, or full review.

Two nurse researchers are interested in studying whether a pain assessment tool for critical care patients is valid and reliable when applied to a group of patients who cannot communicate verbally due to mechanical ventilation. They design a validation study in which randomly selected patients will be assessed using the tool after a painful procedure (tracheal suctioning) and after a nonpainful procedure (oral care). If patient responses result in higher scores after the painful procedure than after the nonpainful one, then the researchers will conclude that the tool is effective for these patients in differentiating pain responses from responses to nursing procedures in general.

Using the definitions in the textbook:

Discuss and draw a conclusion as to whether this study will likely be exempt, expedited, or full review.
Would the study be considered ethical? Explain your rationale.

Select an endocrine disorder other than diabetes mellitus for this discussion and, if necessary, research the clinical manifestations of the disorder

The scenario:

Your unit has hired a new nurse who has never worked with patients diagnosed with endocrine disorders. As a veteran nurse, you will provide guidance to the new nurse and help her locate the information she needs to properly assess her patients.

Step 2 Select an endocrine disorder other than diabetes mellitus for this discussion and, if necessary, research the clinical manifestations of the disorder.

Step 3 Describe the alterations in endocrine functioning associated with the disorder you have chosen. Be sure to cite all sources used and provide a reference using proper APA formatting.

summarize how you would measure the personal exposures to the hazards that you identified

Research Paper

For the following research paper assignment, you have been asked to perform an evaluation of employee exposures at a small automobile parts manufacturing facility. The manufacturing processes include two metal presses, two machining stations, three welding stations, a small paint booth, and a shipping/receiving area. There are two employees working at each press, one person working at each machining station, one person working at each welding station, two people working in the paint booth, and four employees working in the shipping/receiving area.

One of the presses is a 2,000-ton press, and the other press is a 200-ton press. The 2,000-ton press is the greatest noise source for the facility. The machining area uses a metal working fluid. The safety data sheet (SDS) for the metal working fluid is attached here. All welding is performed on stainless steel. The painting booth uses a powder coating operation, but the employees use xylene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) to clean the parts prior to the powder coating operation. At the end of the shift, one of the employees uses 1,3 butadiene to clean the nozzles for the paint booth. The facility uses two electric forklifts to move materials between the production area and the storage warehouse and between the warehouse and the shipping area. All employees work an 8-hour shift.

Part 1:

Using the information on anticipation and control we studied in the textbook, identify the hazards that are present in the facility. In your discussion, explain why you chose the hazards, and describe whether you believe the hazards to be actual hazards or potential hazards (which require further evaluation). Describe the specific location(s) at the facility where the hazards are located, and determine how many employees are potentially at risk in those areas.

Your response for Part 1 should be at least one page in length.

Part 2: Using the information on evaluation that we studied in the textbook, summarize how you would measure the personal exposures to the hazards that you identified in Part 1. Use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

website (https://www.osha.gov/dts/sltc/methods/toc.html) or the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) website (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2003-154/default.html ) to select the specific sampling and analytical method that would work best to evaluate any chemical hazards you identified. Provide a summary of the sampling media you would use, include the sampling flow rate, discuss how long you would sample, and explain how you would calibrate the sampling train. Include a discussion about why you selected the specific sampling and analytical method.

Your response to Part 2 should be at least one page in length.

Part 3: Access the attached sampling results here

. For each set of results, perform the following actions:

Calculate the 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) exposure.

Compare the results to the appropriate OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL).

Determine which results exceed an established OSHA PEL.

Write a one-page summary of the sampling results; document the exposures that exceeded an OSHA PEL, and identify those areas that you believe will require the application of controls to reduce risk. Include your calculations, include a list of the OSHA PELs you compared the results to, and explain how you decided that an exposure exceeded an OSHA PEL.

Part 4:

Using OSHA’s hierarchy of controls, recommend the control methods that you believe would be the most effective for

reducing the risks associated with the exposures that exceeded the OSHA PEL above. Explain how you would implement

the controls and how you would evaluate the effectiveness of the controls. Also, discuss any interim control methods you would recommend for the facility.
