Do you usually command such freedom, or do you find yourself taken over by frustration, impatience, and even rage, when things around you do not work out the way that you would prefer?

PHI103

Watch the video titled This Is Water by David Foster Wallace. It is a speech by David Foster Wallace delivered to a graduating class at Kenyon College. As you watch, consider that logical reasoning is a fundamental tool for becoming a critical thinker. One of the reasons why employers hire university graduates is because they have received training in logical reasoning in courses such as this. Lacking this training, our default mechanism is to see situations, especially those that are frustrating or stressful, as affecting only ourselves. As Wallace says, “I experience the boring, frustrating, crowded parts of adult life when I’m operating on the automatic, unconscious belief that I am the center of the world, and that my immediate needs and feelings are what should determine the world’s priorities.” (sebekt, 2013).

 

Consider the main point of Wallace’s speech, which is this: the value of a university education is that it gives you the freedom to choose how you see situations—what has meaning and what doesn’t. What he means is that reason frees us to choose how we interpret our circumstances rather than merely feeling like victims.

 

Write your reflections on the idea that the value of a university education is that it gives you the freedom to choose how you interpret your circumstances, regardless of what is happening around you. Do you usually command such freedom, or do you find yourself taken over by frustration, impatience, and even rage, when things around you do not work out the way that you would prefer? How would reason help you gain freedom in these situations? What advantages are there to critical thinking? What do you expect to gain from a course in logic?

What strategies can you use?

Security of Health Care Records

With the increase of health information technology used to store and access patient information, the likelihood of security breaches has also risen. In fact, according to the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ):

In the United States, there was a whopping 97% increase in the number of health records breached from 2010 to 2011… The number of patient records accessed in each breach has also increased substantially, from 26,968 (in 2010) to 49,394 (in 2011). Since August 2009, when the US government regulated that any breach affecting more than 500 patients be publicly disclosed, a total of 385 breaches, involving more than 19 million records, have been reported to the Department of Health and Human Services.

A large portion of those breaches, 39%, occurred because of a lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised portable electronic device—a problem that will likely only get worse as iPads, smartphones, and other gadgets become more common in hospitals. (CMAJ, 2012, p. E215).

Consider your own experiences. Does your organization use portable electronic devices? What safeguards are in place to ensure the security of data and patient information? For this Discussion you consider ethical and security issues surrounding the protection of digital health information.

To prepare:

  • Review the Learning Resources dealing with the security of digital health care information. Reflect on your own organization or one with which you are familiar, and think about how health information stored electronically is protected.
  • Consider the nurse’s responsibility to ensure the protection of patient information. What strategies can you use?
  • Reflect on ethical issues that are likely to arise with the increased access to newer, smaller, and more powerful technology tools.
  • Consider strategies that can be implemented to ensure that the use of HIT contributes to an overall culture of safety.

Post on or before Day 3 an analysis of the nurse’s responsibility to protect patient information and the extent that HIT has made it easier or more difficult to protect patient privacy. Comment on any security or ethical issues related to the use of portable devices to store information. Assess the strategies your organization uses to safeguard patient information and how these promote a culture of safety. Describe an area where improvement is needed and one strategy that could address the situation.

The Wealth of Nations
