Nursing: Law and Ethics

Analysis of Law Manuscript Write a scholarly manuscript in APA format as follows:

Choose a health care delivery issue from your readings related to nurses in advanced roles.

For example, what is the relationship between

• nurses in advanced roles and delegation to unlicensed assistive personnel; or,

• nurses in advanced roles and emergency psychiatric admissions; or,

• nurses in advanced roles and the emergency medical treatment and labor act (EMTALA); or,

• nurses in advanced roles and assisted suicide; or,

• nurses in advanced roles and violence in the workplace.

Find specific regulatory or statutory language that currently defines your chosen issue (i.e., find the exact phrase in either the federal or state regulation or law that is used to legislate how this issue is currently enforced).

Reflect on how this language should be tweaked to better meet the clients, students, or organizations you serve.

Conduct a thorough search and retrieve evidence from valid, reliable, and credible legal, health policy literature and legislative websites that support your tweaked language.

Provide a scholarly analysis of your legal issue and how it should be changed to better reflect current policy and practice. Follow this format.
