Ethical and Legal Issues

Submit 1- to 2-page essay.

Case Study:

Ann is a seventy-seven-year-old grandmother. She has one daughter and three grandchildren. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with moderately advanced Alzheimer’s disease, which causes her to have periods of confusion, frustration, anger, and obsessive thinking. When speaking, she is uncertain and her speech patterns are choppy. Before her mental deterioration, Ann was a woman of love, intelligence, and patience. Realizing they were getting older, she and her husband, Frank, discussed their wishes should anything happen to them. She told Frank that if there was no chance of survival, she would not want to be hooked to a breathing machine. They never got around to filling any papers.

Frank is a sweet and sensitive man. His wife’s state frightens him. Ann’s love for him has been the focus of his life for sixty years. His urgent desire for the best care for Ann shows his devotion and love. Their daughter, Sarah, is a businesswoman. She is a hard worker and a good mother. She is forty-five, successful, and intelligent. Although she loves her parents dearly, she lives ten hours away. She regrets not seeing much of them, especially recently. Frank feels his role is to take care of Ann. He has spent the past year with her, watching after her, cooking for her, cleaning the home, and witnessing her deterioration. Finally, Ann is unable to walk alone safely and he finds he must have her admitted to a long-term care facility. He calls Sarah to come and help with the arrangements. After having Ann admitted to a local nursing home, both Frank and Sarah remember the pleading look in Ann’s eyes as they walk away.

After three weeks in the nursing home, Ann starts to cough and run a fever. She is seen by doctors and diagnosed as having pneumonia. She is transferred to a local hospital, where she is given intravenous antibiotics. Although the progress of her pneumonia is halted by the antibiotics, she stops talking and refuses to eat. The physician calls Frank to insert a feeding tube. Frank calls Sarah to ask what to do. They wonder, Is a feeding tube equivalent to a breathing machine? Would it be possible to allow Ann to lie there and die of starvation? Is that murder? What would she want? What is the right thing to do? (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2008).

Respond to the following with these headings:

  • Discuss the ethical decisions you would make.
  • Discuss the legal decisions you would make.
  • Explain, as a nurse, what advice would you give to Frank and Sarah.

300 WORD ANSWER DISCUSSION POST

Opinion polls attempt to predict the results of local, state and federal elections. Discuss six reasons why the results of the opinion poll and the outcome of the election may differ. In each case describe techniques that can be used to increase the likelihood of the results being accurate.

Interviewing and interrogation

You have completed your assessment of the employee and have the required information about the employee. You also have the information about three other predictors you reported in M4 Assignment 1. You have also administered a risk assessment instrument, and the employee has been classified to be at “moderate risk” for assaultive behavior in the next five years.

On the basis of the results of your investigation in the assignment tasks of the previous modules, create a 10- to 12-page report addressing the following:

  • The results of the interview with the employee (a description of your interaction with and the mental status examination of the employee).
  • A review of the employee’s predictors of violence.
  • An analysis of the validity and reliability of the risk assessment instrument for making predictions on violence.
  • The conclusions you arrived at about the employee’s potential for showing violence.
  • Some cautionary statements about the tenuousness of your conclusions, given the low base rate of violence in the employee.

In addition, in your report, identify at least one potential victim of the employee. Make a recommendation for action by the company to protect that victim. Prepare your findings and recommendations in such a way that the employee cannot effectively sue the company for slander. An axiom of law is that negative statements do not constitute slander if they can be supported. Your job is to write the report in such a way (with supportable conclusions) that the company can establish that its actions were prudent.

essay #1

The country that I felt has developed a lot in the last 3 years would be China. In 2011, China’s latest GNI per capita, current US dollars in china was 4,949.00. In 1962, the amount was 70.00 which is a big difference from 2011. For those that do not know GNI means gross national income, and using the World Bank Atlas method to change to United States dollars.

 

The growth rate of per capita GDP depends on the population size and growth of young and old individuals. By the time 2020, China should have the highest growth rate in some of the major countries, but are also followed by India and Indonesia. The output per capita and the population growth in China stands at a -0.8 output in 2012. The potential real GDP growth from 2012 was 8.9. The population growth of China for 2012 is 8.8 which have made a huge change now. (OECD Economic Outlook. Pp10) China is a closed economy since Mao Zedong who was the communist state of China. In the last five years the rate of collection has decreased 3 percent. For the last few years China has imported so many goods from import tariffs. The trade barriers reduction has led to significant growth between the U.S and China exports over the past decade. (Lardy, 200)

 

China is known as the fastest growing consumer market right now. Right now China is the fourth largest country, and taking big strides by opening economy to international trade. According to a study the Chinese economy has reached a 73% marketization of its economy according to the USA and European Union. China is considered a mixed economy because of the industries and is government ran for instance the tobacco, electricity, with the tax limits. China is also considered a command economy due to the money decisions and ifnances for the society made by central government in Beijing. China does have business, but the business is also under Beijing government control. (Economywatch, 2010)

 

 

According to an article posted by The Wall street journal, the Chinese central bank stated yuan’s exchange rate is not clearly undervalued, but the economist says different. A survey was later taken where 28 of the 41 economist responded that yuan was undervalued and 23 of those said it was by more than 5%, 9 stated balance, 4 was overvalued. With all research that was done Stephan and Pierpont said the currency was at a good level, but Ram who is part of Combinatorics Capital thinks yuan is undervalue, but the number is not big. Julia, one of the few states the number is balance. The policy in China says “If it is undervalue by 5%, then what is the issue of letting it float?”(Izzo, 2012) With all the information I have gathered, I do believe the country is on a good road of economic growth because all the progress they are making in the economy. I feel that macroeconomic policies are helping achieve the growth.

 

essay #2

           My choice of developing country is Brazil. Even though I am not a soccer fan it amazes me how a developing country can qualify and put on such a large worldwide event as the World Cup. I do realize that every country that wants a chance to hold such an event should get the opportunity, but to be selected while citizens live in such desire poverty is mind boggling. In the choice of Brazil I hope to learn more about their economy and their ethanol production making them almost self-reliant for their oil.

Brazil’s growth per capita in the last 12 years has almost doubled; and in the last 3 years it increased from 10,100 to 11,900.  Brazil has an annual change in population at +.9% over the last several years. Brazil economy is the largest in Latin America and 7th in the world (Population of Brazil 2014).  Brazil is a closed economy. Brazil imports the least in the world at a 13% of its GDP. With Brazil being the most closed market in the world means that it is not involved in trade.  Its comparative advantage is said to be in agriculture, services and commodities. Brazil is a mixed economy with both public and private enterprise. Brazil’s foreign exchange is overvalued (Brazilian Bubble.com).

 

Brazil is a country on a course of economic growth. Although it has a large segment living in really extreme poverty it is climbing in the right direction. There issues with government corruption on a large scale, but seems to be improving.  Brazil’s macroeconomic policies are helping to achieve the growth, but with the government corruption being as big of a problem as it is it is hard to say what the possibilities for growth would be.
