Decision Authority & Death with Dignity Analysis Essay

/in /by

Help me study for my Health & Medical class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

 

A8.1. Decision Authority

Mr. Parker is an 88-year-old resident of your LTC home with end-stage Alzheimer’s. He is wheelchair-bound and spends most of his days sleeping in his wheelchair near a window facing the garden. He needs to be spoon-fed but has recently started to refuse to eat. Mr. Parker has three children, one of whom – his only daughter — is very involved in the care of her father. The team approaches the daughter about her father refusing to eat and feels that his refusal is legitimate. Thus, they propose changing the plan of care to palliation. The daughter absolutely refuses, claiming that “you cannot kill my father, I want everything done to keep him living!”

The director of nursing (DON) for the facility has turned to you, as the executive director, for guidance, asking these questions.

a. Do we know whether the resident is capable to make his own health care decisions?

b. Are there any known wishes from Mr. Parker? What would he want? What are his values?

c. Is his daughter the substitute decision-maker? Can she, in this role, demand treatment and expect that you comply?

Because of the potential legal and reputational liability, the corporate counsel has recommended you respond to the DON in writing. Prepare a 4-10 page memorandum, double spaced addressing the DON and daughter’s issues. Cite relevant sources.

A8.2. Death with Dignity

On March 25, 2019 in New Jersey, a death with dignity bill passed both the Assembly and Senate with votes of 41-33-4 and 21-16, respectively. Less than an hour after passage in both houses, Governor Phil Murphy issued a statement that he would sign the bill, which he did on April 12, 2019. New Jersey now the eighth jurisdiction to enact death with dignity legislation. The measure, A1504, took effect August 1, 2019

This morning when you report to your work as a senior consultant with Acme Health Strategies, your inbox and voice mail are filled with inquiries from the New Jersey Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, the Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, network news outlets in Philadelphia and New York, and your managing partner at Acme.

Prepare a 3-5 page analysis –https://papersowl.com/blog/write-critical-analysis-essay -(not including title page and references), that would be the basis for talking points, examining the public health, legal, ethical, and policy issues involved with these deliberations and the possible outcomes of this legislation.

Ethical Decisions in Health Care Case study

/in /by

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

/in /by

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?
