This assignments was a descriptive essay covering one of the topics that was covered this semester in NSG 444 – Accelerated Integrated Experience III. I chose to write my paper on human trafficking with a descriptive style. Below is an exert of this essay:

Although the nurse found this interaction to be a bit odd, she continued on with her normal routine, asking what brought the woman in and doing an initial assessment. The woman did not speak English and the man insisted he act as her translator, although he answered all questions without allowing the woman to speak. As time went on, the nurse began to find his actions very strange; never leaving the patient’s side, refusing to let her carry her own bag, and demanding specific treatments for her issue. The nurse wanted to attribute this behavior to the patient being nervous and having an overbearing boyfriend, however she had an overwhelming sense that the situation she was now a part of was not right. The nurse expressed her concerns with the charge nurse, case management got involved, and the patient was ultimately found to be a victim of human trafficking.
