Ethical Decisions in Health Care Case study

I need support with this Health & Medical question so I can learn better.

 

Your health care team is presented with the following case:

A 6-year-old develops a high fever accompanied by violent vomiting and convulsions while at school. The child is rushed to a nearby hospital. The attending physician makes a diagnosis of meningitis and requests permission from the parents to initiate treatment. Both parents are Christian Scientists, and they insist that no medical treatment be given to the child. The physician initiates treatment anyway, and the parents later sue the physician and the hospital.

In a formal, written paper of 1,250-1,500 words, provide the following:

  1. Explain the ethical dilemma portrayed in this case and how Uustal’s “Ethical Decision-Making Model” can assist in navigating the situation.
  2. Describe the perspectives, needs, and expectations of each of the following health care stakeholders: (a) child, (b) parent, (c) physician, (d) health care staff, (e) hospital, (f) administrator, and (g) attorney.
  3. Summarize potentially conflicting values and principles that exist in this case based upon ethical theories and principles you have learned in this course.
  4. Assuming the role of the hospital administrator, provide a solution to resolve the identified ethical dilemma in this case.

Protein Supplements Misconceptions Questions

I’m working on a Health & Medical question and need guidance to help me study.

Protein is one of the six essential nutrients. The body’s need for protein is depended on what stage of life you are in and how healthy you are. Protein works with the other essential nutrients to do its job. Protein contains nitrogen. The building blocks of protein are amino acids (Table 6-1). Only when we eat adequate amounts of carbohydrates and fats, can protein be available to fulfill the functions of protein. Excessive protein in the diet does not enhance the functions of protein. Consuming more protein than you require will result in protein being burned for energy or stored as energy for later use. Certain types of athletes and runners may require more protein than the RDA of .8 / kg.

Misconceptions:

You can build muscle by eating a lot of protein. (Does a race horse eat a lot of protein?)

Low carbohydrate, high protein diets are the best way to lose weight.

Discussion questions (choose one):

Why are protein bars, shakes, powders, and amino acid supplements so popular?
What key nutrients are lacking in a low carbohydrate, high protein diet?
Are protein supplements just “big business” or do they have a purpose?

New Employee Checklist and Work Schedule Project

I need an explanation for this Health & Medical question to help me study.

 

Welcoming a new employee into your organization is always a happy occasion. After all of the work of recruiting, interviewing, selecting, back ground checks, etc. it is really a good feeling to know that you have a new employee starting who fits your requirements for the position. Your attention should turn towards the first day of work and how to introduce them into your organization. You want to put them at ease as much as possible as they are eager to learn the ropes and get them into work production as soon as possible.

Important This assignment has two parts. In the first part of the assignment, you will prepare a New Employee Orientation Checklist for the Information and Record Clerk position. In the second part of the assignment, you will create a work schedule for the Information and Record Clerk position that you have selected.

Part 1

Prepare a New Employee Orientation Checklist to use for the newly hired Information and Record Clerk. Include items that you will show the employee and explain to them during the first few days or weeks of employment. For example, a tour of the department, where they will work, and where the supplies are kept. This checklist will be signed by the employee and the supervisor when it is complete. It should be kept by the supervisor in their office with a copy to the employee when completed.

Part 2

A work schedule is needed by an HIM department where there are multiple employees and multiple shifts of work and are required by unions to be posted for the employee to view. Nursing and direct patient care departments prepare schedules all the time so they know that they have adequate coverage for patient care. The HIM work schedule should be posted by the week listing a Sunday through Saturday work week and lists each employee by name, position and the starting time and the ending time that they work. If a day is scheduled off that should be noted on the schedule.

For this part of the assignment, prepare a work schedule for the RELEASE OF INFORMATION SPECIALIST position that you have selected for the project.

Release of Information Associate

Under the direction of the Corporate Coding and Regularity Manager, the Release of Information Specialist (ROI) must at all times safeguard and protect the patient’s rights to privacy by ensuring that only authorized individuals have access to the patient’s medical information and that all release of information are in compliance with the request, authorization, company policy and HIPAA statues. Additionally, they are required to maintain a professional health care office environment on a day-to-day basis, working with confidential and personal health information in a conscientious manner and providing patients and other requestors with the appropriate level of service. This position engages in direct customer service and must perform duties and conduct interpersonal relationships in a manner designed to project a positive image of the department and the Medical Center. Work with team leader, supervisor, manager, and other members of the department to promote a harmonious work environment.

The reason I chose the Release of Information Associates role is because I use to work in the medical records department, and I loved it. I like primary contact with customers regarding collection of required information. It is being involved in work that is meaningful and purposeful. I like being a trusted employee in the ROI department handling the confidential medical records. I love challenges and this is a challenging position in which I can utilize my skills in this area. Being in this position allows me to multitask, be responsible and reliable and I feel that I am all the above when it comes to this position.

Discussion Topic: Class team Collaboration on Policies & Procedures for Health Information Exchange of Pharmacy Facilities

CLASSMATE POST #1

So I have worked in a pharmacy for over 10 years, retail, specialty, and long term care. They were all pretty much the same as far as security, fraud waste and abuse training is something that I have to take every year. One of the biggest issues we face is with controlled substances, esp[ecially with the ongoing opioid crisis. So we can talk about the policies for dispensing controlled substances especially those that are classified as C2’s (narcotics), or we can talk about fraud waste and abuse as it pertains to CMS. Let me know what you guys have found so we can post on time. Here are a few links to the information I found.

https://www.dea.gov/press-releases/2017/12/05/dea-large-scale-operation-targets-26-pharmacies-three-states-attack

https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/health-care-fraud-and-abuse-control-program-protects-consumers-and-taxpayers-combating-health-care

These are just a few of the issues facing pharmacies, there is also HIPAA when a patient doesn’t pick up their medications we can only have prescription adjudicated to the insurance for 14 days, once we void them they have to stay in the vial and we blackout patient information. I am available most of the day tomorrow, I will check in periodically to see where we are.

Pharmacy facilities do not necessarily know when the patient was admitted into the hospital. Pharmacists don’t have universal access to the patient’s labs or discharge summaries notes. In some cases, the patient may use a variety of pharmacies to get their prescription due to not covered under their insurance and it’s cheaper out of pocket at one particular pharmacy than another. This would mean that the pharmacist couldn’t get the list of medications that the patient is already taken would cause them to think of the patient’s safety by having this information upfront could be crucial to have especially if the patient has allergies to certain medication when dispensing or prescribing a drug. If pharmacy facilities could access the proper information through the HIE through the state to local or even the regional health information exchange this would really help the pharmacist have all the information needed to ensure the patient’s well-being.

I do use two different pharmacies to get my prescriptions because I dint have health insurance and one of my medications is $250,00 out of pocket cost and by getting this one prescription from this pharmacy I can get in for $16.00 so I save $134.00 so of course I am going where I can afford it. It was the other pharmacy who called this one regarding this medication cost 🙂

CLASSMATE POST #3

Nephrolithiasis also known as kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form in your kidneys. (may clinic, 2020) Kidney stones have many causes. Some of these causes are diet, supplements, medications, excess body weight, and certain medical conditions. Kidney stones form when your urine has more crystal-forming substances than the fluid in your urine can dilute. (may clinic, 2020) The most common symptom of a kidney stone is a sharp pain in your side and back by your ribs. You may have burning or pain when urinating. You may have some blood in your urine. The urine may be cloudy and you may feel the urge to urinate often. One treatment for kidney stones is surgery. Surgery is only required when the stone is too big for the body to pass on its own. This surgery is called percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The make a small incision in your back and use special instruments to remove the stone. The patient then has to stay in the hospital for one or two days to recover.

Dialysis cleans your blood by passing it through a filter. Your blood is on one side of the filter and a fluid called dialysate is on the other. The waste and fluid in your blood pass through the filter into the dialysate. The bigger cells such as RBCs cannot fit through the filter. The dialysate is then drained from your body and the waste and extra fluid comes with it. The difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis is hemodialysis uses an artificial kidney machine and with peritoneal dialysis your belly acts like a filter. If I was prescribed dialysis I would utilize peritoneal dialysis. I chose this option because doctors say that peritoneal dialysis is easier on your heart and better for you. One interesting fact I learned about the urinary system is that there are four different types of kidney stones. I always assumed that all kidney stones were the same and that there was only one type.
