Activity Abuse and Violence

In your own Words answer the following questions.

1. Is spanking a child an acceptable form of discipline or is it abusive? What
determines the appropriateness of discipline? Who should make these
decisions and why?
In my opinion spanking a child is a abuse and not acceptable form of discipline. A
growing child still have things that they can comprehend so they still can committed
mistakes or error that needs for punishment or discipline. They need to grow and as an
adult they need to be guided so that they can be a responsible adult. I think all older
people that surround the child should be the one who will decide how to discipline the
child especially the parents of it. Most of child copy the hobby of people that surround
them and if the adult do good things, the child also copy how the adult do things
2. A client has just told the nurse that in the past he has lost his temper and
has beaten his child. How should the nurse respond? What factors would
affects the nurse’s response?
First, the nurse must need to establish rapport to his client by introducing himself
and them actively listen on the story of the client to gather data. After actively listening
on the client ask them if they can still can’t still control his temper and if not tell them
techniques that can be use when he have an temper issue.
3. What is the nurse’s role in the arena of bullying? What can or should be
done to combat this growing problems?
I think that the role of the nurse in the arena of bullying is that they can be an
communicator and also advocate against bullying. They can spread awareness on this
topic and act as chancellor for bully and the person who is being bullied.
 Activity Substance Abuse

In your own words answer this following questions.

1. You discover that another nurse on your hospital unit has taken
Valium from the client’s medication supply. You confront the
nurse and he/she replies, “I’m under a lot of stress at home.
I’ve never done anything like this before and I promise it will
never happen again”. What should you do and why?
As a fellow nursing staff, I will stop and tell her that it can be harmful
for her health and also in her profession since she take drugs that is for the
client and also taking drug without physician’s order is harmful for her. i will
also tell her that there are more activity that she can release her stress like
talking with fellow nurses.

2. In England, medical clinics provide daily doses of drugs such as

heroin at no charge to persons who are addicted in efforts to
decrease illegal drug traffic and low crime rates. Is this
effective method? Would you advocate this in the Philippines?
Why?
I think this method is effective but in the Philippines there are people that
can take this method and use it to sell it to other addicts. I also think that in
the Philippines, the user of heroin are in the upper class so providing them
drugs can provide conflicts. I would suggest it to some people who is highly
addicted but not completely for all.
