Briefing Paper 4: Ethics Case Study

The problem solving methods that might be helpful to assist Jerry in making an ethical decision would be to establish trust with the patient and become aware of the problem. Then analyze the problems and decide on a plan with the patient. He will then want to make sure he reinforces the commitment to the patient and activate the plan. Last, he will follow through with the task and monitor everything until the situation is taken care of.

6. All employees will be open in attitude and action toward all persons regardless of race, creed, social class, religious beliefs, lifestyle, or position or influence within the organization and community.

Is pleasing the customers, and telling them what they might want to hear, more important than being honest with them? When clients ask the company for reports, their main interest should be to get a thorough and comprehensive analysis. If they were only looking for a confirmation of what they wanted to hear, they should not need the research.

Nurses are faced with ethical issues and dilemmas on a regular basis. Nurses must understand his or her values and morals to be able to deal adequately with the ethical issues he or she is faced with. Some ethical issues nurses are exposed to may be more difficult than others and the ethical decision making process is learned over time.

Choice 2: A married couple, both addicted to drugs, are unable to care for their infant daughter. She is taken from them by court order and placed in a foster home. The years pass. She comes to regard her foster parents as her real parents. They love her as they would their own daughter. When the child is 9 years old, the natural parents, rehabilitated from drugs, begin court action to regain custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will. Does ethics support the law in this case? Discuss.

Why does physician-patient communication matter in healthcare? During my nursing school pediatric clinical rotation, one of the patient’s I had the opportunity to provide care for, I will call her Sophia for privacy purposes, was in the pediatric unit recovering from surgery to remove a four-pound trichobezoar (hairball) from her intestines. Sophia was four days postoperative at the time and was on the unit for the purpose of being monitored in order to ensure she was recovering well after the procedure. Recuperation seemed to be taking longer than what would be expected for Sophia and her incision site was draining copious amounts purulent fluid. Because of the reports from Sophia’s nurses along with the residents, the physician who performed the surgery ordered an antibiotic regiment to treat the apparent infection Sophia had acquired.

Chapter eleven of James Svara “The Ethics Primer” was the conclusion to the book and explained to the reader the duties of a public administrator. The jist of this chapter was to help the reader identify and clarify, for anyone who was still confused, what a public administrator was, and how they should conduct themselves. As we read the first three page we are given a list of eleven duties a Public Administrator must abide by. As you read on Svara bangs it into your head just how important acting in an ethical manner is. He explains how someone is an ethical administrator is one who does their duty. The last paragraph wrapped it all up for us when Svara explains how unless a Public Adminstrator is passionate about serving the community in

Step 1: About 7% of the rich world's jobs are held by people from developing countries and an aging population who cannot fill the vacant positions currently available. Lant Pritchett proposal is to have 16 million of the poor became part of a guest worker program. In the United States for example; 3 million guest workers would stay 3 to 5 years, without citizenship. They could not bring their families, but they would have some protection through the certification process for these guest workers.

The article by Bonner examines a hydrogen-powered, zero-emission train in Germany, currently underway (Bonner, 2017). While the focus of this paper centers on the United States Transportation Industry, it is critical to observe other nations breaking ground in this field of study. The United States trails behind other regions of the world in terms of a robust rail network as a popular commuter option, however, for freight applications, the knowledge gained in other countries around the globe provides a solid foundation for U.S. based logistics companies to examine.

Hydrogen cars use less fossil fuels which means less pollution and stopping global warming! Using fossil fuel is bad because to get fossil fuels some sacrifices have to be made, like drilling into the earth, taking

Honda has already produced a hydrogen fuel cell concept car they claim is “overall 64% energy efficient”. To put this into perspective in the average gasoline combustion engine “only about 20 percent of the thermal-energy content of the gasoline is converted into mechanical work”, making it 20% energy efficient [5]. This new line of cars could bring about jobs in the automotive industry and all industries that branch from it. As of right now the commercial market for hydrogen gas produced from the use of fossil fuels is at about $100 billion. A majority of this hydrogen goes into producing fertilizers and petrochemicals [1]. All it would take is an inexpensive source of green hydrogen, such as the one recently discovered, to completely change this industry.Overall hydrogen has the ability to bring about jobs and continued advancements in every market and industry touched by it. This could be just about every industry when considering how important transportation and shipping are to the economy; hydrogen would give them an inexpensive fuel for transport. Hydrogen fuel could do this all the while solving our most important problem of finding a renewable energy source.

Build a mirror CRM production system over the next two weeks so that a rebuilding of the main CRM system could occur to plug security holes and assure that another DoS attack would not be successful.

There has been a big push in recent years for automobile companies to produce lower emission producing vehicles. Hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles can help to solve the issue. Hydrogen is clean burning, producing only water vaper as waste. Hydrogen Fuel cell vehicles will be zero-emission, reducing air pollution (Bernard Meyerson). Fuel cell offer all the same benefits as conventional fuel powered cars with cruising range up to 500 miles. To refill a take with hydrogen will take about three minutes, about the same amount of time as traditional fuel fill ups. Down side is the first production of

Gasoline powered vehicles are on the decline. Hydrogen is on its way to remove gasoline as the world’s fuel. Hydrogen powered cars are rising in popularity for many reasons such as low emissions and efficiency, but there are major obstacles in the way. Hydrogen as a fuel is the change needed to save the world from global warming.
