Should We Withhold Life Support

Write a 2-3 page paper that examines the moral and ethical issues involved in making a decision regarding limiting life support.End-of-Life IssuesWith our framework of ethical theories and principles in hand, we begin our look at some of the critical ethical issues in our contemporary world, starting with end-of-life issues. This assessment covers ethical questions related to end-of-life care. Passive euthanasia is the removal or refusal of life-sustaining treatment. Examples of passive euthanasia include removal of a feeding tube or a ventilator, or forgoing a life-prolonging surgery. Passive euthanasia is legal in all 50 states, and the principle of autonomy gives informed patients the right to refuse any and all treatments. Patients who are unable to make such decisions in the moment (because they are unconscious, for example) might have made their intentions clear beforehand with an advance directive or similar document. Things become more complicated, however, when a patient who is unable to make treatment choices has not made his or her wishes clear, either formally in a written document, or informally in conversations with family members or friends. Another problem concerns cases in which there is disagreement about whether the treatment is sustaining the life of a person in the full sense or merely as a body that, because of severe and irreversible brain trauma, is no longer truly a living person.Active euthanasia, or assisted suicide, introduces further difficult moral questions. A patient who has a terminal illness and who has refused treatments that would merely prolong a potentially very painful and debilitating death might want the process of dying to be hastened and made less painful. The patient might want to take his or her own life before the disease reaches its horrible final stages. Should patients be legally allowed to have help in this endeavor? If suicide itself is not morally wrong, at least in cases like these, is it wrong for another person to directly help bring about the patient’s death? Is it wrong for doctors, a role we naturally associate with healing and the promotion of life, to use their medical expertise to deliberately end a patient’s life if the patient wants this?Demonstration of ProficiencyBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:Competency 1: Articulate ethical issues in health care.Articulate the moral issues associated with limiting life support.Competency 2: Apply sound ethical thinking related to a health care issue.Demonstrate sound ethical thinking and relevant ethical principles when considering limiting life support.Explain important considerations that arise when contemplating limiting life support.Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals.Exhibit proficiency in clear and effective academic writing skills.PreparationCase Study: Mr. Martinez.

Retailing mix

Learning Objectives Covered LO 03.02 – Demonstrate an understanding of retailing basics including the retailing mix Background five people standing with shopping bagsRetailing is the process of distributing goods or services from a business or company to a consumer. Retailing is a complex system that depends on manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. One way to help better understand retailing is by creating a retailing mix document. A retailing mix always revolves around the target market. It addresses six key factors. These are: price, promotion, place, product, presentation and store image. Each factor will be addressed in more detail below. Product Product refers to the products that you sell. Questions to consider include: What is your main product and what separates it from the competition? How much inventory do you need to have on hand at any time? How quickly do you anticipate your products will sell? Presentation Presentation refers to how your product will be displayed and showcased. Questions to consider include: How is the presentation of your product appealing to your target market? If your product will be presented in a physical location, how will the population within the area support you? If your product is presented in an online location, what visual elements are you incorporating to appeal to your target market? Place Place refers to the place where people go to purchase or learn more about the product or service. If place refers to a physical location then you must consider store staffing needs. Questions to consider include: How many employees do you need? How will the store be set up? If place refers to a website or online location, how will it be structured and who will be in charge of responding to inquiries, shipping orders and performing site maintenance? Store Image Store image refers to the physical layout or structure of the store itself. Questions to consider include: What is the layout of the store? What graphics or visuals in particular are designed to appeal to your target audience? What about the appearance of layout of the store sets you apart from the competition? Price Price refers to the retail price of an item. When calculating price it is important to consider markup required as well as desired profitability. Questions to consider are: What is the pricing strategy? What is the markup strategy? How does the markup strategy impact overall retail price? Promotion Promotion refers to the overall promotion strategy. Questions to consider include: What promotional tools will most influence consumer behavior? How much time and money should be allocated for promotional activities? Assignment 3 – Retail Mix Planning Brochure This week Boxstate has asked you to help them create a retailing mix planning brochure for them to use.

Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s

Your paper for this course will be a discussion on the topic of your choice, using the readings and discussions from the course, along with ideas from The Power to Heal. You will choose a topic and then develop a discussion and argument from a particular concept or description in the readings and supported from class materials and other sources. In other words, you need to identify a controversy, problem, or question about this topic and argue for a specific position. Your paper must begin with a narrative from your own experience, the experience of someone you are close to, or, if you don’t have one, you can use a narrative from the news (from local, national or world news, in the newspaper, on TV or radio, or in an online news outlet). Make sure you read the example papers in eCourseware. Below are some ideas: 1. Expand on any of the discussion questions 2. Read the supplementary power points for a topic that interests you. 3. Go to a medical blog to find an interesting topic. KevinMD.com is a good one. You can also search within a medical blog, or elsewhere, for a specific condition and see what people are writing about. 4. Watch the news or go to the Health sections of online news outlets 5. Think about your own experiences with illness 6. Analyze the way a certain health issue is presented in the media: TV shows or movies, ads on TV, newspaper articles, etc. 7. Look at all the links I provided on the syllabus The goal of the paper is to build an argument concerning a topic that interests you. This is not a “research report.” You need to take a stand on an issue that we’ve talked about or that you’ve read about during the semester. Requirements: 1. The central topic of your paper must be communication as it relates to the issue, condition, idea, or concept that you are writing about. For example, what are the communication issues involved in persuading and helping a person to complete an Advance Directive? Your argument could be that physicians need more training about advance directives, the public needs more training, the forms should be written differently, etc. You must also then include a solution. 2. 5 full pages, double spaced, one-inch margins, 12 point font 3. “References” page does not count as the 5th page 4.
