Discuss what kinds of choices you would make if you knew you were dying. What kind of medical care would you select? What would be most important to you? What are things you would not want done in your medical care? Would you want a funeral service?

Option 1: Assess the moral solutions arrived at through "care" (care-based ethics) and "rights" ethics to social issues of ethical import such as poverty, drug use, and/or lack of health care, That is, note any ethical problems that arise related to those particular issues. Then, say how both care-based and rights theory of ethics would solve those problems. Are those solutions correct? Why or why not? What is your own approach there?

Using Blake and Mouton's Leadership Grid, explain and discuss the leadership style displayed by management to the nursing staff .

Legal & Ethical Issues

Jonathan Kirkpatrick recently was hired as a nursing manager in an acute care hospital for orthopedics, neurology, and two medical-surgical units for a for-profit corporation. Nurse Kirkpatrick is responsible for the quality, cost, and morale for the units that he manages. As part of his employment package, he is rewarded with a bonus based on the amount of money that he is able to save the hospital.

1. What is the key challenge Nurse Kirkpatrick faces in most aspects of this new position?
2. One of the first things Nurse Kirkpatrick is asked to do in his new position is to “cut the fat” out of staff numbers. The corporation that owns the hospital believes there are too many nurses on the payroll. Personally, although he does not say so up front, Nurse Kirkpatrick disagrees. He believes the nurses currently on staff are all needed for quality of care. As he looks for ways to cut these numbers, what concerns might he raise to make administrative staff aware of the risks? Identify both ethical concerns and potential legal concerns.

Ryan is a 12 year old diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). As a small child, Ryan was first diagnosed with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder. He had just started preschool and was unable to remain in one place for more than a minute or two. His parents had already had a very difficult time in disciplining him, because he would become very upset and throw temper tantrums when he could not do as he wished. He just seemed to be an unhappy, irritable child. This behavior continued in school. As time progressed, Ryan was diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, because he continued to refuse to listen to adults and comply with the rules.

By the age of 12, he has begun to bully and annoy others. His parents have decided that the approaches they have used in the past are not working, and they are more afraid his behavior will only get worse.

Initial Post

Provide explanations for these questions and statements:

• Describe the behaviors apparent for each disorder in this scenario (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder).
• If this behavior becomes worse and Ryan starts to violate the rights of others, what medical diagnosis will be given and why?
• Discuss at least two types of medication appropriate to treat Ryan and support your choices with rationale and credible resources
• Describe why therapy for the parent is important in this scenario including at least two supporting rationales.

Discuss the pros and cons of using the criminal law, as opposed to civil negligence law, to prosecute providers when errors occur. Specifically, what happens to a provider and his license when there is a criminal conviction? What would this mean for medicine as a whole? Justify your position, and use examples.

How would you reflect on and discuss your everyday practices with supervisor and other staff?

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?
