In 300 words clearly state what the ethical course of action would be based on the information from this case study. Support that stance by using at least 3 different ethical concepts and or principles for example Autonomy, Deontology and Consequentialism. Remember to use objectively (no personal opinions) and impartiality ( each person's needs and interests are given equal weight) when making and supporting your stance. Case study: Dr. Yee is a cardiologist. A 75-year-old patient in need of heart surgery has recently been referred to his practice. The patient is overweight and has known he was at risk for heart disease for years. Still, he never modified his diet or exercise despite his doctor’s recommendations. His poor health makes the surgery riskier and less likely to extend his life for long. Regardless, the patient would like Dr. Yee to perform the surgery. Dr. Yee needs to decide if he will operate or refuse the surgery to this patient. What should Dr. Yee do and why?

Case Study One:

A patient died after her third cerebral hemorrhage. When the patient was admitted to the hospital following a cerebral hemorrhage, her physician determined that she should be given a specific drug to reduce her blood pressure and make her condition operable, and he directed its administration. For an unexplained reason, the drug was not administered. The patient’s blood pressure rose, and after another hemorrhage the patient died.

1. Health workers who regularly care for patients who have conditions that may cause those patients to be aggressive, violent or dangerous are given training on how to avoid and handle these situations. The article De-escalating the Aggressive Patient describes how to use the “Third Person” approach in de-escalating a situation. Your boss has asked you to create a key points handout about this approach that you could use as part of a training session. Write it.

#11-16. For each study described, state whether it will experimental or observational. If observational, identify which type specifically (retrospective cohort, prospective cohort, case-control, cross-sectional, ecological). Briefly explain how you can tell.

• We plan to distribute a questionnaire to all UNLV faculty, students and staff ages 40 and 60. In that questionnaire, we will ask if they suffer from kidney disease, and if they take regular medications including BZDs. We than assess how many people with kidney disease take BZDs and how many people without KC take BZDs.

• We select a group of 1,000 middle-aged volunteers without kidney disease who are likely to suffer from insomnia/anxiety. We assign them randomly into two groups. Group 1 is told to live their lives as normal and take any meds proscribed by their doctor. Group 2 is told not to use BZDs for 2 years, and doctors prescribe Group 2 with natural alternatives to BZDs. After those 2 years, we follow them up and check to see who developed kidney disease in each group, and compare the groups.   

• We will get the age-adjusted incidence rates of kidney disease in 30 different countries and compare those with the rates of BZD consumption per capita (total usage in country/total population of that country). We will then check to see if there is a correlation between the BZD consumption and kidney disease.

• In 2010, we examined the medical records of 2,000 patients ages 53+ associated with Kaiser Permanente (large health care organization) who did NOT have kidney disease in 2005. Then, we look back in the records to see who took BZDs from 2000-2005. After that, we look to see who developed kidney disease from 2006 until 2008. We compared the rates of kidney disease among those who took the BZDs and those who didn’t.

• We plan to select a large healthy group of 4000 50-year old people from the general population and give them a questionnaire to fill out. One of the questions concerns the use of BZDs. We are going to follow them for 5 years and compare how many developed kidney disease among those who said yes to BZD consumption and among those who said no to BZD consumption.

• We will select 200 patients with kidney disease and 600 patients without kidney disease. We will then access their prescription records to see if they used BZDs regularly when they were aged 40-50 years of age.
