Mrs. Kittredge's Decisions: Questions And Answers

This ethical scenario presents an 86 year old female with numerous health issues and chronic illnesses. Mrs. Boswell’s advancing Alzheimer’s disease makes it extremely difficult to initiate dialysis, leading her physician to conclude a poor quality of life. The ethical dilemma portrayed in this case is between nonmaleficence and autonomy. Health care workers should focus on promoting the patient’s overall wellbeing and weigh the benefits and risks of the course of action, while also considering what the family declares they want done. Since the patient is deemed unable to make decisions, the goal is to collaborate with family, assess patient quality of life, address prognosis, and establish realistic care goals.

Green Meadows Hospital is newly constructed community hospital owned by Southern Hospitals Corporation. Kate Cooper was very excited when she got a new position at Green Meadows as a Manager of Adult Services. They started hiring people and were getting ready to open the hospital. However, things did not go well as they planned and wanted to. Therefore, Kate had to resign. The biggest problem that I see in this was their unorganized management skills and communications skills. They should have more prepared since they were new hospital and related to people’s lives but from the beginning, it seemed like they did not think that it was a big of deal and just went it the flow.

1. Watts is absolutely justified in recommending Ann’s dismissal. Ann was speaking on something that was a purely personal concern. She does not have the right to engage in hate speech against her superiors. She is free to disagree with them but she is not free to undermine their authority or disrupt the integrity of the school’s authority. If there are public concerns educators have received the opportunity to speak openly with respect.(U.S. Supreme Court, 1983). Racial slander or hate speech is very disrespectful. The administrators have a responsibility to give Ann due process (Essex, 2012) and recommending her termination affords her such.

Everyone has heard of the OJ Simpson court case – a rich and famous man is accused of murdering his ex wife and despite an overwhelming amount of evidence presented against him, he somehow manages to be found not guilty. Many people find themselves wondering how that could possibly happen. Was his defense team simply that good? Were there mistakes made? Was he actually innocent? Simpson’s case is not the only one that has yielded such a strange outcome because of his status and stellar defense team, and certainly not the only court case to cause such an uproar in the media. Martha Stewart’s 2001 case, Scott Peterson’s 2004 case, and Lorena Bobbitt’s 1994 case are all examples of court trials that sparked interest in the eye of America.

On the other hand, if she had chosen to not tell them, the friendship they had would have kept going until natural causes prompted them to find out themselves, and this also could ruin their close friendship. I can understand why Mrs. Kittredge would have been nervous to tell Jenna and Richard, because there was a fifty-fifty chance that the children would break ties if they found out. As stated in the story, paragraph eleven, “Mrs. Kittredge sighed heavily. “Maybe I should have told you,” she admitted, “but I couldn’t figure out how, and I didn’t want to spoil your memory of your father. When you two became friends, I kept telling myself that Richard and Davis are common names and he couldn’t possibly be Morgan’s son.

John Singleton Copley’s a Bostonian Anglo-American Painter who lived in the late 1700s to early 1800s. One of Copley’s most infamous works of art is the painting, “Mrs. Richard Skinner.” This painting is noted in being a woman named Dorothy Wendell (Dorothy Quincy). Dorothy Wendell came from a reputable family “Quincy family” and was wed to John Hancock, a well-known political figure. Copley is trying to convey the struggles of women during the eighteenth century and the yearn for equal rights which are reflected on the subject Mrs. Richard Skinner.

The case of ‘Katelynn Sampson’ is one of the several sad cases that we often hear of which always leads to the laws surrounding children’s safety be amended or developed. I find it disturbing that a young child’s life had to be taken for proper recommendations ensuring the safety of children is done. I deem the suggestions to do compulsory training for children’s aid workers and law enforcement; extension to children’s aid society hours and corresponding communications between them and others involved in the child’s life are great. However, the recommendation for social workers to work with students without parental consent seems a little extreme to me. I consider this proposal should be based on the students age as many parents will
