Mrs da Vinci is an elderly patient who is admitted to a Brisbane
hospital suffering dehydration, a urinary tract infection and a
number of skin tears and lesions on her body resulting from
multiple falls. Her mobility is compromised and there is evidence
of dementia. Upon being admitted to hospital Ms da Vinci expressed
an immediate desire to return home, but the health care team do not
believe this can safely be achieved. Her urinary tract infection is
severe and requires medication. In addition, she has several
lesions which are septic and require dressing and antibiotic
treatment; and she is still dehydrated. The team is strongly of the
view that Mrs da Vinci requires medical treatment before it would
be safe for her to leave hospital. They believe that without
treatment Mrs da Vince’s health will deteriorate and she will very
likely suffer serious and permanent health issues which could
result in her death. However, if Mrs da Vinci receives treatment
she will be likely to recover well and be able to return home
within a few days.
Registered Nurse Mona has spoken at length to Mrs da Vinci, who
told the nurse that she does not want any medical treatment; she
just wants to go to her home where she has lived for the past 55
years. Mrs da Vinci said she knows her way around her house and is
friendly with her neighbours. She also said to the nurse, “my
squadron will be there most of the time and they will assist me
with any medication. I also have my cat Muggins, and he will look
after me.”
Mrs da Vinci was a member of the Royal Australian Airforce during
her youth and made significant contributions during wartime. She
frequently refers to the friends she made and the exciting times
she had as a young girl in the Airforce. Sadly, she is the last
surviving member of her squadron, although lately she has been
referring to them as if they are still alive and present.
Mrs da Vinci has two children, Leonardo (the eldest) and Valencia.
Both her children live in Brisbane and have regular contact with
their mother. They are concerned about their mother and want to
ensure she receives the best medical treatment possible. Mrs da
Vinci’s husband passed away many years ago; however, she is very
close to her neighbour, a widower, Mr Angelo. They spend a lot of
time together having cups of tea and exchanging stories. Mr Angelo
has expressed a desire for Mrs da Vinci to return home. Mrs da
Vinci has not executed an advance health directive, nor has she
appointed an enduring power of attorney. A guardian has not been
appointed.
RN Mona is concerned about who should make the decision about
whether Mrs da Vinci should be immediately discharged or remain in
hospital to receive medical treatment, and how that decision should
be reached.
Apply the ethical and legal decision-making
framework to this
scenario.

In analyzing hits by bombs in a past war, a city was subdivided into 457 regions, each with an area of 0.25-km². A total of 356 bombs hit the combined area of 457 regions. The Poisson distribution applies because we are dealing with the occurrences of an event (bomb hits) over some interval (a region with area of 0.25-km².
