A physician receives the pathology report from a recent endoscopy of her patient, a 78-year-old Japanese man. The report reveals adenocarcinoma of the stomach. The physician intends to disclose the diagnosis to the patient. However, as the provider approaches the patient’s room, the patient’s daughter stops her. The daughter demands to know the diagnosis and states that, if indeed it is cancer, her father should not be told. The daughter insists that she and her mother will decide what is best for her father. She argues that in her father’s culture, family members make the decisions for the patient.
Consider these related questions: ● Is it the physician’s duty to disclose the truth to her patient? ● How can the physician-patient relationship be preserved while taking into consideration the wishes of family members? ● What role should culture play in how a case is handled?

Maria is 29 years old, five foot seven, and reports a pre-pregnancy weight of 140 pounds (BMI =22). She is in her first trimester of pregnancy at 11 weeks and is in good health. If Maria were your friend, you would recommend she discuss these questions with a healthcare provider. However, as a way to review key concepts in this chapter, can you answer Maria’s questions?
1. How much weight am I supposed to gain throughout my pregnancy? Is it okay that I’ve gained only two pounds so far? How many additional Calories will I need in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters?
2. How much additional protein do I need during my pregnancy? I take a multivitamin pill daily that contains 400 mcg of Folic Acid. Do I need extra amounts of folic acid while I’m pregnant? If so, how much more? Why is getting adequate folate during pregnancy so important?
f. (3 pts) Do I need to take an iron supplement? Why, or why not? If so, how much?
g. (2 pts) I usually go for a 30-minute walk with my husband after dinner. Is it okay to keep walking throughout my pregnancy? Are there any exercises that I should avoid while pregnant?

Assume that you are serving the role of an administrator at a hospital who is writing a memo to your governing board about an ethical or legal issue of your choice that impacts your hospital or the broader health care industry as a whole. Some examples of ethical or legal issues that may be affecting your hospital include current laws and regulations surrounding: surrogacy, right to die/end of life care, patient abuse, abortion, sterilization, human genetics, assisted suicide, patients consent or rights to autonomy, or any other legal or ethical issue that we have gone over this semester and you believe should be explored in further detail. Example: "I'm writing to discuss the way our hospital handles confidential patient information and the potential legal liability, both at an individual and corporate level, a breach of sensitive protected health information may have on our organization." If there are more facts that are relevant to your discussion, please include them as necessary. For example, if you are discussing right to die legislation, it would be important to note whether you are in Oregon or Michigan or Oklahoma, as each state has different methods of treating end of life rights of patients.
Your memo should lay out the context/background of the issue and why you feel that it is important to discuss with the governing body. Your memo should further give an opinion as what moral, legal or ethical duties or rights the hospital may have in relation to the topic you choose, and under what instances the hospital employees or the hospital itself may be found criminally or civilly liable for a breach of such duties related to the issue you choose.
Finally, provide a proposed solution/resolution or method to properly handle the issue you raise, and discuss how the hospital can properly implement such solution/resolution or method into its corporate structure. Be sure to include analysis of what sort of impact your proposed resolution of the issue would have on your hospital or the health care industry as a whole, i.e. patient safety, limitation of liability, improve patient care, improve patient autonomy or rights.
I look for well-organized, well thought-out papers. It does not need to have "legalese", but please ensure that all legal terms that are chosen to be used are being used properly. You will not be graded on having perfect grammar, but it never hurts to do so. Please be sure to use adequate citations. I do not care what form of citation you use so long as I can clearly identify and track the authorities you cite. Your syllabus states the paper should be between approximately 1500 words. This is approximately 3 pages single spaced.
