Abstract:
After years of heated debate about the issue, medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was legalized in Canada in 2016. Canada became the first jurisdiction where MAiD may be delivered by nurse practitioners as well as physicians. Experience has revealed significant public demand for the service, and Canadians expect nurses to advocate for safe, high-quality, ethical practice in this new area of care. Pesut et al. offer a superb analysis of the related Canadian nursing regulatory documents and the challenges in creating a harmonized approach that arise in a federation where the Criminal Code is a federal entity and the regulation of health care providers and delivery of care fall under provincial and territorial legislation. Organizations like the Canadian Nurses Association contribute to the development of good legislation by working with partners to present evidence to help legislators consider impacts on public health, health care, and providers. Nursing regulators across Canada responded quickly to the unfolding policy landscape as the federal legislation evolved and will face that task again: In February 2020, the federal government tabled legislation to relax conditions related to MAiD requests that will force regulators and professional associations back to public advocacy and legislative tables. The success of the cautious approach exercised by nursing bodies throughout this journey should continue to reassure Canadians that their high trust in the profession is well placed.

Abstract:
Objective: to analyse the differences between medication prescriptions by nurses in Brazil and Ontario, Canada. Methods: a comparative study between two different scenarios; this comparison was not performed between the two countries because Canada does not standardize this practice, which is legally established and is considered as an advanced professional knowledge area in Brazil. Results: prescription is a professional position to be occupied by nurses. However, there is tension surrounding this practice because it is perceived as a threat to privileges or traditions of other health professionals. Prescibing medication by nurses in Brazil and Ontario follows current legislation and training proccess in each context. Conclusions: there are some challenges to be overcome in ensuring the visibility and consolidation of the practice by nurses in these realities: guarantee of professional competence, credibility, acceptability, and the respectability of clientele in your professional scope by other health professionals.

Abstract:
In February 2014, the Government of Canada under Stephen Harper introduced the ‘Fair Elections Act’. This reform to the elections act removed provisions for access to voting for individuals lacking certain forms of identification. Noting that this would have a disproportionate impact on people experiencing homelessness, nursing advocates joined with other activists to try to prevent then subsequently overturn this legislation. The purpose of this paper is to explore the 93rd competency of the College of Nurses of Ontario, “Advocates and promotes healthy public policy and social justice,” by unpacking a case example of advocacy for voting rights. This paper addresses the challenges faced by nurses in doing public policy advocacy and concludes with lessons learned. Fulfilling our college mandated requirement to be politically active means ensuring that public policies are just, equitable, and reflective of the progressive values of Nursing.

Abstract:
Canada's legalization of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in 2016 has had important implications for nursing regulators. Evidence indicates that registered nurses perform key roles in ensuring high-quality care for patients receiving MAiD. Further, Canada is the first country to recognize nurse practitioners as MAiD assessors and providers. The purpose of this article is to analyze the documents created by Canadian nursing regulatory bodies to support registered nurse and nurse practitioner practice in the political context of MAiD. A search of Canadian provincial and territorial websites retrieved 17 documents that provided regulatory guidance for registered nurses and nurse practitioners related to MAiD. Responsibilities of registered nurses varied across all documents reviewed but included assisting in assessment of patient competency, providing information about MAiD to patients and families, coordinating the MAiD process, preparing equipment and intravenous access for medication delivery, coordinating and informing health care personnel related to the MAiD procedure, documenting nursing care provided, supporting patients and significant others, and providing post death care. Responsibilities of nurse practitioners were identified in relation to existing legislation. Safety concerns cited in these documents related to ensuring that nurses understood their boundaries in relation to counseling versus informing, administering versus aiding, ensuring safeguards were met, obtaining informed consent, and documenting. Guidance related to conscientious objection figured prominently across documents. These findings have important implications for system level support for the nursing role in MAiD including ongoing education and support for nurses' moral decision making.

Abstract:
Elder abuse is a global issue, with an estimated 4–10% of older persons in Canada abused each year. Although Canadian legislation has been created to prevent and punish the abuse of older persons living in nursing homes and other care facilities, community-dwelling older persons are at greater risk of abuse. This paper highlights the importance of evidence-based actions targeted at three determinants of health: (a) personal health practices and coping skills, (b) social support networks, and (c) social environments. Two research studies are profiled as case studies that illustrate the ready possibility and value of two specific types of actions on community-based older-person abuse. This paper argues for the immediate and widespread adoption of these evidence-based measures and for additional empirical evidence to guide the correction of underreporting of abuse, raise awareness of its serious nature, and increase options to not only stop it but ultimately prevent it.

Abstract:
Background: In Ontario, Canada, patients who lack decision-making capacity and have no family or friends to act as substitute decision-makers currently rely on the Office of the Public Guardian and Trustee to consent to long-term care (nursing home) placement, but they have no legal representative for other placement decisions. Objectives: We highlight the current gap in legislation for difficult transition cases involving unrepresented patients and provide a novel framework for who ought to assist with making these decisions and how these decisions ought to be made. Research design: This paper considers models advanced by Volpe and Steinman with regard to who ought to make placement decisions for unrepresented patients, as well as current ethical models for analyzing how these decisions should be made. Participants and research context: We describe an anonymized healthcare transition case to illustrate the fact that there is no legally recognized decision-maker for placement destinations other than long-term care facilities and to show how this impacts all stakeholders. Ethical considerations: The case provided is an anonymized vignette representing a typical transition case involving an unrepresented patient. Findings: As a result of a gap in provincial legislation, healthcare providers usually determine the appropriate placement destination without a clear framework to guide the process and this can cause significant moral distress. Discussion: We argue for a team decision-making approach in the short term, and a legislative change in the long-term, to respect the patient voice, evaluate benefit and risk, enhance collaboration between healthcare providers and patients, and promote social justice. We believe that our approach, which draws upon the strengths of interprofessional teams, will be of interest to all who are concerned with the welfare and ethical treatment of the patients for whom they care. Conclusions: One of the main strengths of our recommendation is that it provides all members of the healthcare team (including nurses, social workers, therapists, and others) an increased opportunity to advocate on behalf of unrepresented patients.

Abstract:
<p>This paper will explore the practice of withholding a person’s access to the outdoors while under involuntary hospitalization, or civil commitment, in the province of Ontario, Canada. Following a question from the author’s clinical practice, the paper asks: Are we denying mental health patients a right that is protected for prisoners?<br />An overview of the structure of the Canadian legal system and the role of international human rights law in local legislation is offered to situate lack of outdoor access under civil commitment in a broad legal context. The intention of legal and ethical positions described in human rights and mental health law will be considered in light of how these support or negate current practices in health care. Key issues of civil commitment will be defined. Law and policy governing outdoor access in other institutions such as prisons and detention centers will be outlined as a point of comparison.</p><p><br />The purpose of this paper is to serve as a guide to thinking through the issue of institutional confinement without access to the outdoors when a person’s independent freedom of movement is compromised, legally or otherwise. Should there be future interest in challenging this practice, this paper will be useful as a primer for how to approach legislation and institutional policy.</p><p><br />Key words: Canadian legal system; Mental Health Act (1990); Ontario; Deprivation of liberty; Ultra vires; Human rights; Psychiatric nursing; Hospital design; Outdoor spaces; Fresh air; Patient rights; Civil commitment</p>

Abstract:
The objective this study was to describe experiences that reflect interactive actions in the program content of the Physical Education and Primary Health Care (PHC) course in the undergraduate (bachelor) degree in Physical Education at the Midwestern Parana State University (UNICENTRO). Activities that aimed to promote students’ understanding of the area and of their role in the health care team through interactions with other professors and professionals from the multidisciplinary residency with emphasis in family health for professionals of Physical Education, Nutrition, Nursing and Physical Therapy are described. The highlighted activities include a review of the legislation supporting the inclusion of the Physical Education professional in the PHC as well as documentaries based on previous reports from a professor in the area. Moreover, studies regarding the skills of the Physical Education professional in Primary Health Care, a comparison between the reality of Primary Health Care in Canada and the PHC, and the interventions developed by the multidisciplinary residents representing Physical Education. We hope this experience report facilitates continuous discussion about the teaching-learning process in the field of Physical Education and public/collective health, mainly in the field of Primary Health Care.
