Essay on Law and Ethics in the Business Environment

I was the first respondent to a girl having a asthma attack. I followed my training to provide assistance while her father brought her inhaler. Another incident that I responded to was a customer having a heat stroke in the hot tub. After activating my emergency action plan (EAP), I positioned the woman on the nearest bench and held an ice pack to the back of her neck to cool her down. The manager extended a water hose with cold water and directed the water to her bottom half. I learn that using the water hose was more effective because it cools down the customer in a shorter amount of time. These experiences have help me to respond to an array of emergencies. Always after an incident I have a tendency to replay the scene in my head and wonder what I could have done differently, which helps me to be better equipped for future emergencies and to identify better prevention methods for other accidents. My best moment of my job is when I help people and I see the gratitude on their faces. I will never forget the parents that thanked me after I pulled their child out the water or the expression on the woman's face when she came back into reality from

Reaching across the center console of my car, I imagined the commute that I had into school. My 1992 Jeep Cherokee courageously braved the snowstorm of the year, with only one functional windshield wiper and a forlorn four wheel drive system. As I turned onto the Merritt Parkway, a Honda Civic swerved past me and proceeded to weave in and out of the afternoon traffic. Fast-forward sixty seconds and that Honda was now engulfed by the powder white trees which bound the highway. Instinctively, I pulled up behind the crash site, dialing 911 as I ran over to the mangled wreck. I peered into the car, my pupils the size of marbles, and the driver seemed uninjured; regardless, I proceeded to reassure the driver that Emergency Medical Technician’s/Paramedic’s

On Tuesday, September 29th my partner and I had the opportunity to interview a 55-year-old patient named Tom at LA County Hospital, admitted nine days prior for injuries he sustained after being struck by a city vehicle. His injuries were quite apparent the moment we sat down with him: his right foot bandaged up, having been crushed by the vehicle’s tires, abrasions and bruising all over his lower limbs and worst of all, a broken pelvis. Yet despite the bad shape he was in, Tom was kind enough share his life story with us and provide the limited knowledge he had about his insurance history.

Imagine the following scenario: A 43 year old male and his 41 year old wife have just finished celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary at a local restaurant. The husband had a cocktail at the bar while waiting for the table, and then had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner. After dinner, the happy couple drive their vehicle home on a snow covered highway. The car begins to swerve on the ice and enters oncoming traffic and hits a semi cab head-on. After an extended extraction of the driver by paramedics, the driver is found to be unconscious, has multiple head lacerations, chest contusions from the steering wheel, and his left leg is bleeding profusely from a compound femur fracture. The female is conscious, in shock, and states that she is 36 weeks pregnant and has pain in her abdomen. Both victims are flown via helicopter to the nearest level 2 trauma center where 2 teams of emergency room doctors, trauma surgeons, respiratory therapists, x-ray technologists, phlebotomists, chaplains, social workers, and of course, trauma nurses, are waiting to assess the patients and provide life-saving care. This scenario is not the exception in a level 2 trauma care center of the emergency-room, it is the average situation that a trauma nurse will find his or herself in every day. Because of the fast paced situations that require split-second critical decisions, the advanced life support training that is required, and the often unrewarded care, a career in trauma

-Whistleblowing: Whistleblowing is a way in which you can make other members of staff/managers aware of any poor practice, concerns or illegality. It’s important that anyone concerned about issues surrounding safeguarding should be able to report them in a confidential way which has no repercussions towards the individual who reported it.

In chapter 18, I learned that almost 75 percent of deaths among Americans 15 to 24 years old are caused by unintentional injuries. This worried me because I happen to fall within that age group. The chapter also said that certain behaviors can increase the risk of getting injured. But by not doing those behaviors and staying safe I can help reduce my risk for accidental injury. In this essay, I reflect on two things that I do daily that can put me at risk for accidental injury. Then I also come up with simple ways to reduce the risk so I can stay safe and healthy.

In the scenario provided to us in the writing prompt we are told that; a man collapses in onto a store floor and the customers that were there around him do nothing to help, but instead step over him and take pictures. Soon a new customer Braden comes in and quickly rushes to assist the collapsed man. What makes these people act so differently from one another? Why was Braden so quick to help, while the costumers that were aware of the incident did nothing? To begin to understand the reasoning behind the peoples behaviors we have to think about personal and situational influences.

For both physicians and firemen there is a high sense of urgency because they are responsible for the lives of others. Because of the nature of the study, having the participants place a phone call of the requester, they may have felt integral to the job function of the requester. When deciding to give help the participants could have considered their own role in the life or death of another person when the requester was a physician or fireman. In further studies it would be essential to isolate the effects of reciprocity-arousing potential to truly see if the participants engaged in helping behaviors to establish equity.

The case that I have chosen to reflect on was a patient that was already staying on a ward within the hospital, the patient was rushed to the emergency theatre late at night from the ward with a suspected internal bleed, the cause and exact location of the bleed was unknown, the patient presented a complex case for the theatre staff as the patient 's condition was largely unpredictable along with the amount of blood loss that the patient could lose. My role within the theatre team was on the anaesthetic side, I was supported by my mentor who I feel I have learned a vast amount of
