Healthcare Ethics Week2

May 8, 2020 Leave a comment APA, Health Care and Life Sciences

Prepare a two page paper analyzing the key issues in this case and stating a recommendation. Be sure to include the following steps in your analysis.

Identification
Identify the dilemma. What morals are involved? What morals are in conflict?
Information
Get as much information as possible about the dilemma. Often this step is taken too quickly without enough solid and detailed information, leading to bad decisions.
Communication
Talk with other healthcare professionals on the case. Do they agree that there is a dilemma? Do they concur with your understanding of the dilemma? Do you know everything that they know about the case and vice-versa?
Choices
When all the talking is done, a choice needs to be made about what to do regarding the dilemma. A choice must be made. Even choosing not to decide is a decision!
Make sure to include a paragraph in reference to whether your choice or recommendation changes if this case is in a state that DOES have a specific physician-assisted euthanasia law passed (WA, OR, CA, MT, VT, etc.) with appropriate rationale.
Your role here is to prepare a recommendation on behalf of the ethics committee, with input from all participants, considering the best outcome for the patient as the ultimate goal and highest priority.

Dr. Vics Tips: 1) write about the country by giving a general description of the geographic area, provide brief (two-three sentence) history of the country, and any important cultural, religious, political, conflict, or trade information widely known throughout that country. 2)  then write about any local customs from the region you will sending  employees customs can include language, holidays, traditions of the  area, celebrated festivals etc.  3)  write about the actual experience from what to expect on day 1 though  to day-to-day routines, try to be specific here with realistic  expectations. You can also write about day-to-day things like local  transportation (the bus or metro system) currency needs, where the local  grocery store is located, where the nearest in-network clinic or  hospital is located, and who to call if anything happens. 4)  write about the documents your employees might need, visas, passports,  copy of birth certificate, government ID, consulate or Embassy  documents, and important contact info from the company.  If any of you have every sent employees abroad all of this likely sounds very familiar.

As you learned this week, understanding your competition and  adjusting your own business accordingly is critical to a businesss  success. A large discount retail store like Target competes not only  with other discount retail store stores but also with those stores that  offer just some of the products Target does, such as grocery stores.  Keeping track of all these competitors is quite a task; thats why large  companies have a team of market researchers dedicated to managing that  research.

As a Market Research Manager, part of your role is to consistently  analyze Targets position relative to its competitors and report on  these findings.

Step 7: Real-World Application

Conduct a SWOT analysis for your company and one of its biggest competitors using the methodology outlined in Steps 1-6.

a farewell to arms

May 8, 2020 Leave a comment APA, English and Literature

Write an essay in which you analyze the theme of war in A Farewell to Arms. The essay should contain an introduction, body, and conclusion, be 1-2 pages in length, typed, and use MLA format. Cite the source to avoid plagiarism.  Please save your essay as a Word document and submit as an attachment to be graded. 

Analysis is not summary.  Do not summarize the story; your audience already knows the story.  Analysis is the practice of looking closely at small parts to see how they affect the whole.  What is the main message Hemingway is relaying in this story?

Analyze the impact of the authors choices, discussing how these decisions affect the storys meaning. 
Organize your ideas so that each new idea builds on the one it follows to create a unified whole.

Take notes on its theme of war, characters, setting, plot, and so on.  Be sure the notes include looking beyond the surface to the deeper meaning the author is trying to relay.  Analysis also looks at why the meaning is important.

Ethical Theoies

May 8, 2020 Leave a comment Architecture and Design

Define the issue in terms of its significance to the field (for example, has it always been an issue or is it of greater significance now and why? Is it an issue in the U.S. or developed countries, or western society, or is it universal?)  Are there potential ramifications if the issue is not addressed or is left unresolved?  What are they?

Describe various factual and normative arguments surrounding the issue from differing sides. Apply at least 3 ethical theories. This means thoroughly defining each theory with at least 2 separate, credible sources and then step by step explaining how the issue applies or rejects the ethical theory.
