Critical Thinking Questions: (Marks 5)
Question 1: (1 Mark)
Suppose you are a member of a group asked to find ways to cut costs
throughout your organization for the upcoming year. Sales have
fallen sharply, and the company is in danger of going out of
business. After gathering information, your group concludes that
the company will save the most money by freezing pay for a year,
despite a tradition of annual salary increases. How can you make
sure this is a fair decision? How can you make sure that others in
the organization will see it as a fair decision?
Question 2: Case Analysis
Care, a health consultancy company in Saudi Arabia, is studying the
economic benefits of a program of preventative COVID-19 flu
vaccinations. Care has to give advice to government for COVID-19
vaccination. If vaccinations are not introduced then the estimated
cost to the government if flu strikes in the next year is SR.70m
with probability 0.1, SR.100m with probability 0.3 and SR.150m with
probability 0.6. It is estimated that such a program will cost
SR.70m and that the probability of flu striking in the next year is
0.75.
One alternative open to the committee is to institute an
"early-warning" monitoring scheme (costing SR.30m) which will
enable it to detect an outbreak of flu early and hence institute a
rush vaccination program (costing SR.100m because of the need to
vaccinate quickly before the outbreak spreads).
Question
• As a consultant of Care, Develop a decision tree for alternatives
and make recommendation to Indian government that which alternative
can maximize expected economic benefits?
Question 3: (1 Mark)
Decision support tools rely on objective, mathematical data. What
part does ethics play in using decision support software?
Question 4: (1 Mark)
If you collect too much information for analyzing a decision, you
can suffer from analysis paralysis, where you spend too much time
thinking about a decision rather than making one. Recall a major
financial decision you made recently, such as of a car or housing
purchase or rental. Describe your process for making the decision.
How could analysis paralysis have affected this process?

n Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905), the United States Supreme Court upheld the right of states to enact compulsory vaccination laws—one of the most challenging constitutional dimensions of public health. It also provided the terms for what would eventually become a core question of public health ethics.
This case has become the precedent for many cases that have challenged vaccination laws. Both majority and dissenting opinions in numerous decisions have cited this case in reference to states’ authority to constrain individual behavior. These cases have involved issues ranging from fluoridation of municipal water supplies, to abortion, to the right to die. In Buck v. Bell (1927), the Supreme Court usedJacobson v. Massachusetts (1905) to uphold a forced-sterilization law using the reasoning that society must be protected from the burdens imposed by the offspring of “imbeciles.” Despite the troubling uses to which this decision has been put, public health law texts continue to cite the case as an example of the ways that public health practices must resolve the tensions between individual rights and the collective well-being.
Based on these Supreme Court decisions, respond to the following:

make a table of 13 mineral facts including sex and age
with RDQand UL
RDA and UL for your demographic (age/sex) - and state what that is.
You can include other age/sex groups but for this
assignment I require only one - yours (and remember to say what it
is!).
On tests you will need to know RDAs and ULs for all
groups - remember that you can refer to the tables inside the text
if you have a hard copy or use the scanned RDA/UL tables.
There may not be RDAs or ULs on the tables for every
mineral - be sure to check the textbook for all
information!
type and storage
indicate if it is a major or trace mineral
include whether/where in the body excess is
stored
symptoms of deficiency
summarize the effects on the body if you don't have
enough
include the names of any specific diseases or
syndromes
symptoms of toxicity
summarize the effects on the body if you get too
much
indicate how toxicity could occur (hint - in most
cases the risk is from over-supplementation not from food
sources)
for some minerals this is rare and/or there is no
known toxicity - if that's the case say so
food sources - food groups and specific foods
that are good sources
any additional info that you think is important
or is emphasized in lecture slides

For this written assignment, select one recent (within the past two years) evidence-based article from a peer reviewed nursing journal that describes a "best practice" in an area of nursing you are interested in. For example, if you would like to be a pediatric nurse, select an article that discusses a best practice in pediatric care.
Cite the article and provide a brief overview of how the results or findings were obtained. Then describe the "best practice." Conclude your discussion by explaining whether you thought the research findings supported the conclusions and the best practice.
