Rebecca Riley: Who Is To Blame?

Josie King death could had easily been avoided, by simply treating the patient and not the vital signs. Josie’s mother voiced her concern about the deterioration of her daughter health. The nurse neglect to listen to the mother or advocate for the patient. Once Josie arrested due to dehydration and methadone, the nurse should not have given her another dose. Communication between patient to nurse and doctors was not taking seriously by staff. Nurses are often in a rush to complete assignments often overlooking the small thing. In a case, when a nurse ran versed 100mg in one hour, just so she wouldn’t have to talk to the patient family.

a) Pharmacists have ethical and legal obligations to ensure that the prescriptions they fill are valid, both in that the physician must be prescribing the medication for a valid reason and that the person filling the prescription must be doing so for valid therapeutic reasons (ASHP, 2008; Brushwood, n.d.). The court needs to take these obligations into account, and then must determine whether the frequency with which the prescription was refilled would have required a pharmacist to check with the patient's physician or at least another pharmacist in order to determine if the pattern represented abuse (Brushwood, n.d.). The basic considerations before the court, then, are the pattern of behavior (i.e. prescription refilling) represented in the facts and the relationship of this pattern to the legal and ethical standards of pharmacists. The addition was certainly a foreseeable consequence, and this means that standard applications of negligence torts might also be applicable.

When someone buys drugs then dies from said drugs it would seem obvious that the person who gave them those drugs should be held responsible for their death. However, it is not that black and white legally. While there is a clear and specific punishment if found guilty. The real issue is what it takes for a person to be found guilty of such a crime.

It is essential to have knowledge of the previous case which was Rogers v. Okin, 738 F.2d 1.

In 2009, the Journal of American Medical Association wrote that at least 13,000 infants will be born dependent on some sort of substance, and DrugRehab.org says that eight million children have a parent that is addicted to substances as well. Now, most laws do protect the baby from a drug addicted mother, mainly in the event of a stillborn. While having a baby with brain damages and problems caused by the mother’s substance abuse, the mother will also suffer complications during childbirth (Sarah Blustain). Barry Lester found that 320,000 pregnant women suffer from alcoholism or the use of drugs. He views that their punishment is based on what society deems is criminally wrong and believes it is a disease that should be treated at a mental health facility not prison or jail(Drug-addicted mothers need treatment, not punishment). Drug addicted mothers, pregnant or not, pose a threat to a child’s safety, and therefore, should be punished.
