Do you agree with the hospital’s reaction? Why or why not?
Yes, I agree with the hospital's reaction. Those employees violated HIPAA even with the knowledge that
they could potentially get caught and get in trouble. Suspension without pay is a mild penalty to what
they could face. It is our responsibility as healthcare workers to uphold a certain standard keeping the
privacy of our patients being one of those. Going into this kind of work we all know about HIPAA and the
consequences if we violate so they should 100% be held accountable for their actions.
What specific HIPAA or other privacy laws were violated?
Mr. Clooney’s confidentiality and privacy was violated due to unauthorized employees having access to
his records.
What steps should an organization take to prevent occurrences like this in the future?
I think organizations should be extra cautious to make sure employees only have access to the records
they specifically need access to. Since most systems log who accesses what records they should have a
person that periodically monitors that log to make sure no unauthorized employees are accessing the
records and to ensure prompt and swift action is taken if said unauthorized employees do access the
records they should not be accessing. I also think it could be wise to require all employees to sign a form
that they will be terminated immediately if they are found to violate HIPAA. I do not think they should be
suspended and still have a job if they intentionally violate HIPAA.
Do you have your own story to tell regarding breaches of confidentiality? What have you learned from
your own experiences?
I do not have my own experience in regards to breaches of confidentiality.

1. Jane is participating in a lab in which she blows carbon dioxide into a beaker of chemicals. Some of the chemical bubbles up and gets in her eye. Her lab partners tell her to use the eye wash fountains to rinse her eye out; however, she does not know where the eyewash fountains are located.
2. Mike and Colleen had a lot of a chemical left from their investigation. They dumped the chemical in the sink and left the water running in the sink as they left class

A piece of news reported that Jenjarom, a town located in the Kuala Langat District, is now
smothered in 17,000 tonnes (17mil kg) of plastic waste. There were 33 illegal factories in Kuala
Langat, the district Jenjarom is located in. Some sprang up nearby dense palm oil plantations,
whereas others were closer to town. The smell started a while ago but got worse around August
this year. People in the town started to feel unwell and would keep coughing. These illegal
recycling plants choose to dispose of plastic a cheaper way - either burying it or burning it
causing fumes - so hazardous that some people even coughed up blood clots while some could
not sleep at night because of the smelly air. Children were also affected, especially those who
lived nearest to the factories in Jenjarom. There were reports some children developed really
bad rashes around their stomach, neck, legs, and arms. Their skin would keep peeling, even
when touched by people, and hurtful. The smell was far and wide…

Dangerous Paint Stripper Jessica has a summer job working for the
city parks program. She has been using a cleaner called “Graffiti Gone” to
remove graffiti from the bathrooms. She has to take a lot of breaks, because
the chemical makes her throat burn. It also makes her feel dizzy sometimes,
especially when the bathrooms don’t have very many windows. On the label, she
sees that the cleaner has methylene chloride in it. She feels like she’s
managing to get the work done, but she is worried about feeling dizzy. She
wants to find out more about this chemical, what harm it can cause, and
whether there are safer ways to do this work.
Questions for following story.
1. What went right in this situation?
2. What went wrong in this situation?
3. What steps should be taken in this workplace to make sure employees are
better protected and prepared the next time?

Olympic athletes are tested to see whether or not they are using illegal performance-enhancing drugs. Suppose that urine samples are taken and analyzed, and the rate of false positive results is 1%. Suppose also that it is too expensive to refine the method to reduce the rate of false positive results.We certainly do not want to accuse innocent people of using illegal drugs. What can you do to reduce the rate of false accusations even though the test always has a false positive rate of 1%?

A soil analysis was conducted at a heavily used landfill in the United States. Results of the
analysis showed the presence of leachate in the soil. Which of the following is the most
likely source of the leachate found in the soil?
A
Organic matter disposed of in the landfill contaminated the soil as it underwent the de-
composition process.
B
Rubber and textiles containing volatile organic compounds were disposed of in the
landfill.
Toxic solid waste produced from the incineration of municipal waste was disposed of in
the landfill and contaminated the soil.
A polluted liquid disposed of in the landfill seeped below the surface of the ground.

I understand there is a broad list of ethanol-induced adverse effects on individuals resulting from a broad range of complex interactions between physical, genetic, environmental, behavioral, and social factors. From a health/science perspective, there are many pathologies that result from the consumption of alcohol. My book gives examples of, liver alcohol disease may start with a fatty liver, then progress to alcoholic hepatitis, and then to alcoholic cirrhosis. In alcoholic cirrhosis, damage from repeated and excessive alcohol abuse results in scars in the liver. As a result, the body can’t produce enough proteins or filter toxins out of the blood as it should.
But .....what is the best way you can explain why drinking ethanol damages the liver?
if you can please break it down in steps?

IDENTIFYING CONTROLS & VARIABLES
Krusty Krabs Breath Mints
Mr. Krabs created a secret ingredient for a breath mint that he thinks will "cure"
the bad breath people get from eating crabby patties at the Krusty Krab. He
asked 100 customers with a history of bad breath to try his new breath mint. He
had 50 customers (Group A) eat a breath mint after they finished eating a crabby
patty. The other 50 (Group B) also received a breath mint after they finished the
crabby patty; however, it was just a regular breath mint and did not have the
secret ingredient. Both groups were told that they were getting
breath mint that would cure their bad breath.
Two hours after eating the crabby patties, 30 customers in Group A and 10 customers in Group B reported
having better breath than they normally had after eating crabby patties.
1. Which people are in the control group?
2. What is the independent variable? nreath ma

A discharge pipe releases small amounts of various alcohols from an industrial fermentation process into a lake. Local scientists would like to estimate the rate at which the alcohols are degrading in the lake. One of them, butanol (C4H9OH), is released to the lake at a rate of 20 kg/day. Butanol is measured in the lake water on several occasions at a concentration of 10-4 kg/m3; no butanol is detected in the inflowing stream. Average streamflow at the outlet of the lake is measured to be 3 x 104 m3/day. What is the magnitude of internal sinks of butanol? Assume there is not butanol exchange with the atmosphere.

Recognize Hazards
R: Identify the most important physical hazards from equipment, conditions, and procedures. These include electrical and mechanical hazards and high or low temperature or pressure.
Assess the Risks of the HazardsA: Assess the risks presented by the most important hazards (know the chemical, evaluate the information, assess concentrations and handling)What would be the probable results of that exposure, should it occur?
Minimize the Risks of the HazardsM: Identify methods to minimize risks for exposure to chemicals used or producedThink about the PPE you need, and where to put the waste, where to return chemicals safely, clean surfaces, close hood
Prepare for EmergenciesP: Plan for common emergencies like spills, cuts, burns, exposures, know emergency dismissal and where safety stuff is in the lab
