Ethical and Legal Issues

 

Read the following case study and submit a 1- to 2-page essay in a Microsoft Word document using APA 6th edition in response to the questions.

 

Case Study:

 

Ann is a seventy-seven-year-old grandmother. She has one daughter and three grandchildren. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with moderately advanced Alzheimer’s disease, which causes her to have periods of confusion, frustration, anger, and obsessive thinking. When speaking, she is uncertain and her speech patterns are choppy. Before her mental deterioration, Ann was a woman of love, intelligence, and patience. Realizing they were getting older, she and her husband, Frank, discussed their wishes should anything happen to them. She told Frank that if there was no chance of survival, she would not want to be hooked to a breathing machine. They never got around to filling any papers.

 

Frank is a sweet and sensitive man. His wife’s state frightens him. Ann’s love for him has been the focus of his life for sixty years. His urgent desire for the best care for Ann shows his devotion and love. Their daughter, Sarah, is a businesswoman. She is a hard worker and a good mother. She is forty-five, successful, and intelligent. Although she loves her parents dearly, she lives ten hours away. She regrets not seeing much of them, especially recently. Frank feels his role is to take care of Ann. He has spent the past year with her, watching after her, cooking for her, cleaning the home, and witnessing her deterioration. Finally, Ann is unable to walk alone safely and he finds he must have her admitted to a long-term care facility. He calls Sarah to come and help with the arrangements. After having Ann admitted to a local nursing home, both Frank and Sarah remember the pleading look in Ann’s eyes as they walk away.

 

After three weeks in the nursing home, Ann starts to cough and run a fever. She is seen by doctors and diagnosed as having pneumonia. She is transferred to a local hospital, where she is given intravenous antibiotics. Although the progress of her pneumonia is halted by the antibiotics, she stops talking and refuses to eat. The physician calls Frank to insert a feeding tube. Frank calls Sarah to ask what to do. They wonder, Is a feeding tube equivalent to a breathing machine? Would it be possible to allow Ann to lie there and die of starvation? Is that murder? What would she want? What is the right thing to do? (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2008).

 

Respond to the following:

 

• Discuss the ethical decisions you would make.
• Discuss the legal decisions you would make.
• Explain, as a nurse, what advice would you give to Frank and Sarah.

 

Support your responses with examples.

 

Cite any sources in APA format.

Can fire education teach responsibility?
The public’s general lack of understanding and ownership of fire safety is evident; the solutions are not
Jan 7, 2015
By Rick Markley, FR1 Editor-in-chief
Two news stories emerged last week that, while worlds apart, get at the core of some critical issues facing the fire service.
Many of you saw and remarked on the fire departments from the Netherlands that called on residents to use discretion when phoning for fire department help. They went as far as to suggest that residents attempt to extinguish small fires before calling for the fire department.
The reasoning was simple: high call volume and depleted resources made it hard to respond to every call. New Year’s Day calls for fire response can jump from 70 to 1,500 in The Hague.

Family questions fire dept.’s response time after kids die in fire
Related content sponsored by
The second story involved a Mississippi family that tragically lost three small children in a house fire. Shortly after the fire, family members talked to a news reporter and questioned if the fire department’s response time contributed to the children’s deaths.
The family did not have working smoke alarms in the residence.
Those grieving should not be taken to task for obviously wrong-headed remarks. Yet, those comments were indicative of a much broader attitude.
Why, I cannot say, but there’s a sense that we are no longer responsible for our own well-being when it comes to fire and medical safety. You can see this in the presumed frustration of the Netherland fire service when telling people to not call if a fire can simply be put out with a small amount of water or sand.
And how many times do we see firsthand or read of home fires with no smoke alarms — or more commonly, alarms with the batteries removed?
You see this on the medical runs for hangnails and, more problematic, in those who smoke, eat and drink with wonton disregard for their bodies and land on the diabetes, cancer, heart disease and you name it list.
Conversely, my esteemed and knowing colleague on PoliceOne.com tells me the number of annual home invasions is relatively low. Insinuate that guns should be regulated and you’ll have a crap-storm of protests on your hands.
As an aside, wouldn’t it be cool to see people get half as riled over protecting their rights to own smoke and CO alarms?
The problem can’t be waved off with a “kids these days” resignation. In Mississippi, the Netherlands and many points between, people don’t understand the fire service.
They don’t understand the risks (both high and low) or their fire departments’ capabilities. Everyone reading this knows that a 13-minute response for a rural department is normal and that a 1,400 call-per-day jump in volume is unmanageable.
The public doesn’t get it.
Unfortunately, it falls to us to teach the public not only to have an escape plan and touch the door with the back of the hand, but to own their own fire safety.
Part of that means understanding the level of fire protection they can expect for the type of department they are willing to pay for. Part of that is to dispel any illusion that simply dialing 911 magically makes all problems go away.
It all comes back to that least sexy of fire service duties: community relations and fire prevention. Pushing personal responsibility on the community may be the best ways we can protect them.

This is a continuation of your final project, which you started in Week 3. This last piece involves an analysis of how your individual’s contribution from the past continues to contribute to today’s public health system and how it might guide future work within the industry. As you recall, in week 3, you researched an individual and their contribution to community and public health. To begin, you need to review the feedback given to you from Week 3. Then, make the necessary revisions to Part I of this project. Then, you will be adding the second half to your project.
Follow this outline to help formulate your paper or presentation:
ACTION: Make sure you review all the feedback from your Week 3 (Part I) assignment and apply any necessary revisions. Your week 3 assignment should have included each of the following elements:
GRADED ELEMENT : Describe your selected person’s experience
GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze the climate of the time period in terms of political, socioeconomic, environmental and technological context in which this person worked.
GRADED ELEMENT : Examine the personal beliefs of your person that prompted this work.
GRADED ELEMENT : Examine how this individual overcame any adversities to succeed in his/her task.
GRADED ELEMENT : Describe the final outcome of this individual’s contribution to community and/or public health.
GRADED ELEMENT : Explain what his/her contribution did for overall community and/or public health at the time.
GRADED ELEMENT : Explain why this contribution was so important at that particular point in history.
ACTION: Think about the individual’s contribution to community/public health
GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze the impact of your individual’s contribution on today’s public health system.
HELP: You are asking “what happened as a result of this contribution at the national and community level?” For example, some elements you could address include:
did it change attitudes
did it change protocols and policies
did behavior change result
did it add/eliminate laws
GRADED ELEMENT : Analyze how this contribution is still relevant today
HELP: Was this contribution only applicable at the time it occurred, or is it still applied today? Why or why not? Explain your response
GRADED ELEMENT : Examine how this contribution could support or be expanded for future community and public health benefits
HELP: Using solid critical thinking, look at the historical value of the contribution and examine how it could be used for the future (is it applicable to another health issue, can it lead to more policy change, could it promote advocacy work or public health laws, etc.)
You have a choice of which format you wish to present your findings:

Format 1: Written Paper
Must be at least 6 pages in length (not including title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate title page with the following:

Information Technology Problem Analysis
This course is comprised of a series of Individual Project assignments that will contribute to a Key Assignment submission at the end of the course. Each week, you will complete a part of an information technology (IT) project or technical research document designed to solve an information technology problem. You will select a project or research topic, and apply research and knowledge gained from prior courses to the completion of the associated report according to the instructions for each week.
You will select a project as the topic for the analysis that you will execute and document in this course. The project should represent an IT problem that you will solve through research and application of knowledge and skills gained in the courses taken in your program of study. This is the course Key Assignment that you will make contributions to each week.
Project Selection:
The first step will be to select a project as the target for your Information Technology Problem Analysis document. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:
Nontrivial: The project should be nontrivial and require research as part of the solution. The project should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the technology research process.
Scope: The project scope should be appropriate for the 5-week class duration.
Domain Knowledge: You should be familiar with the problem domain to allow focus on the project tasks without significant time required for domain education.
Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the project because this will be an important part of the process.
Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.
Assignment Description:
For the assignments in this course, you will be developing a comprehensive Information Technology Problem Analysis document that identifies an IT problem and works through a formal research and analysis method to provide a proposed solution to the problem. Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the basis of your research and analysis for each of the assignments in the course. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project delivery. Appropriate research should be conducted to support the development of your document, and assumptions may be made when necessary.
The project deliverables are the following:
Submit the project proposal to your instructor for approval.
