If a person were to refuse vaccinations, and therefore transmit a
deadly disease to a susceptible person such as a young infant,
should the unvaccinated person be criminally prosecuted? Why or why
not?
Solutions
Expert Solution
The principle of autonomy: It refers to the protection of the privacy and autonomy of the individuals. APNs are obligated to educate the patient that helps him/her to take rational and autonomous healthcare decisions. The basic nursing role of patient advocacy and education make them to frame methods that protect individual patient’s rights.
The principle of autonomy governs several other medical practices, for example, a Muslim may have concerns about vaccination thinking that it is prepared from some unclean animals (pig). Some people believe that administration of MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is linked to autism. So, APNs have to carefully deal with such situations without breaching the principle of autonomy.
Similar to any other medical decisions, vaccination should also respect an individual's autonomy. But, if the unvaccinated person is responsible for the deadly illness or death of another person, they are legally responsible and are liable for criminal prosecution.

Suppose it is known that the probability of being susceptible to contract a seasonal flu disease...
Suppose it is known that the probability of being susceptible to
contract a seasonal flu disease in a town is 0.20. A
bio-statistician randomly selected 12 unrelated people from the
town and examined if they are susceptible to the disease.
Considering upto 4 decimal places, find the following: (a) expected
number of susceptible individuals; (b) probability that 2 or fewer
susceptible individuals; (c) probability that exactly 3 susceptible
individuals; (d) probability that at least 4 susceptible
individuals.

Q) if a fraction λ of the population susceptible to a
disease that provides immunity against reinfection moves out of the
region of an epidemic, the situation may be modeled by system
S'=-βSI-λS
I'=βSI-α I.
Show that both S and I approach zero as t→∞.
Where,
S=The susceptible population
I=infected individuals
β=infection rate

(i) Suppose vaccinations against a communicable disease are
provided by a competitive market. Sketch the supply and demand
curves on a graph and show the equilibrium price and quantity.
(ii)Now suppose that vaccinations generate positive
externalities. On the same graph, illustrate a case in which the
outcome you derived in part (i) involves too few vaccinations
relative to the socially optimal quantity. Label the socially
optimal quantity and the deadweight loss on your graph. Explain
your answer

Consider a disease with an exposed class that is also
infectious. Individuals move from the susceptible to the exposed
class at rate βSI + αSE, where β is the transmission rate of the I
class and α is the transmission rate of the E class. Individuals
from the E class move into the I class at rate δE. Individuals in
the I class recover at rate γI. We will assume that removed
individuals are immune and that the total population...
