HCA415 Healthcare Ethics

Module 1 Discussion

DQ1 The
principle, humans cannot remove their basic emotions to make a determination of
right and wrong. Do agree or disagree with this, explain why? If we adhere to
the principle, how is right and wrong determined? As a healthcare professional
how do you separate your feelings and personal values when providing care?
Example.

DQ2 There
is an unwritten rule in healthcare, that healthcare providers should not
provide medical care to family members. Why do you think that rule exists? What
about close friends? Should the same rule and reasoning apply? What ethical
concerns can arise when caring for family and close friends?

Module 2 Discussion

DQ1 Universities
have a strict policy on plagiarism for students and professors to follow. Do
you fell plagiarism is a moral issues, and do you feel all plagiarism is
intentional? How would you respond to a
peer that states, “With all written work being in an online format, it is
impossible to discuss some topics without having a high plagiarism score.”
Explain your reasoning.

DQ2 You are
an employee in a medical office with access to medical records. Your friend and

Module 3 Discussion

DQ1 Jim
received a liver transplant in 1999. In
1991, Jim started an alcohol treatment program and was a recovering alcoholic.
In 2003, Jim’s wife and youngest son was killed in a motor vehicle accident in
which Jim was driving. The accident and guilt cause Jim to start drinking
again. Due to Jim’s drinking the transplant liver is now failing. Jim has two
grown children who were able to get him back into an alcohol treatment program.
Jim has been sober for nine months, but his physician told him that the damage
to his liver is too extensive. Should
Jim be placed on the transplant list again for a new liver? If you were on the
ethic committee, what questions would you have or want answered in this case?
If one of his children is a match and is willing to donate a lobe of their
liver, would this present an ethical issue? Explain and support your answers.

DQ2 If you
were forming an Ethics Committee at your facility, who would you want on the
committee and why? What should committee members take into consideration when
addressing ethical cases? Should the committee look at what is best of the
organization or the individual? Explain.

Module 4 Discussion

DQ1 There
are no examples of medical-specific laws in ancient history. In fact, the
earliest laws relating to healthcare were not written until the early
nineteenth century. Why do you think that is? Do you feel our current legal
system is more involved in the policies surrounding healthcare or the ethical
issues? Explain.

DQ2 One of
the ways that torts are categorized is by a person’s actions—whether the
actions are intentional or unintentional. Which category do you think should
lead to more severe legal punishment—those torts categorized under intentional
actions or unintentional actions? Explain and support your answer.

Module 5 Discussion

DQ1 The
facility you work for wants to pilot a program to allow parents to choose the
sex of their child, and has scheduled an open forum meeting for hospital staff
and physicians. The physicians are in favor of this action and the staff is
opposed. You were selected to speak for
the staff and the topic is Genetic Modification of Human Beings: Is it
Acceptable? How would you prepare for the forum and what information would you
want to have? How would you utilize your critical thinking skills when asked
questions?

DQ2 A
doctor has decided to buy lunch for his office staff. The receptionist has been
asked by the doctor to run across the street and pick up their lunch, because
the restaurant does not provide delivery. On her way to pick up the lunch, in
the office parking lot, the receptionist trips on a pot hole and twists her
ankle. The doctor told the receptionist to not clock out since she is
conducting business for the office. Once the doctor hears of the receptionist’s
injuries, the doctor encourages her to use her private insurance to cover
medical cost. Should the receptionist file a Workers’ Compensation claim or use
her private insurance? Explain and justify your answer.

areas, or do you feel it is black and white? Locate your professional code of
ethics or one from a related field and support your response with examples.

DQ2 Can a
person perform the tasks that are governed by a license without obtaining one?
A person can get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive on the public roads
without obtaining a driver’s license. Does the same hold true for a healthcare
license? Can a person practice medicine or perform medical tasks and procedures
without actually holding a license? What mechanism do you think might be in
place to stop or identify this type of practice? How is the public protected
from unlawful practice by an unlicensed person? Explain and support your
answers.

the patient’s mother? Explain and support your answer.

DQ2 At what
age do you feel a minor should have a voice in their medical care? What if the
minor’s consent to treatment is different from the parent’s? As a healthcare
provider what should or can you do in this situation to protect the best
interest of your patient? Explain and support your answer.

HCA415 Healthcare Ethics

Module 8 Discussion

DQ1 In
healthcare we are quick to label patients as noncompliant. Discuss the
difference between noncompliance and free will. Is there a difference? What are
some reasons a patient might be noncompliant, is free will one of them?

DQ2 Are you
ever allowed to lie to a patient; even a little white lie? Is it ok to withhold
information about a necessary medical treatment so the patient will agree to
the treatment even if we know it goes against their religious or moral
convictions? What about disregarding a patient’s beliefs altogether and
providing care that goes against their wishes, but is medically appropriate?
Could the healthcare provider be sued for malpractice if treatment for the
patient’s medical condition is not completed? Explain and support your answers.

HCA415 Healthcare Ethics

Module 2 Assignment

Assignment:

This week,
students will be completing a paper to address the following two case studies.

Greg Case
Study:

Peggy and
Gary had been married for five years, and had been trying to have a child. They
had undergone artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization, but each
pregnancy had resulted in a miscarriage. Peggy and Gary decide that surrogacy
was their best option and placed an advertisement in the local college
newspaper.

Josephine,
a 21-year-old college student, answered the advertisement. At the time, she was
dating a man named Jerry who she loved very much and hoped to marry. But Jerry
had recently broken up with Josephine. Hoping to trick Jerry into marrying her,
Josephine agreed to be the surrogate for Peggy and Gary. Using Peggy and Gary’s
zygote, Josephine underwent in vitro fertilization and became pregnant. During
the pregnancy Josephine underwent routine medical examinations, as required by
the surrogacy contract. During one of the examinations, a genetic screening
test was performed and it was discovered that the child had Down Syndrome.
Peggy and Gary did not desire to have a child with Down Syndrome and in
accordance with the surrogacy contract paid Josephine to undergo an abortion.
In addition, Josephine contacted Jerry, telling him that she was carrying his
child. Not wanting to be a husband or father at a young age, Jerry paid
Josephine for an abortion as well. He then transferred to another school in a
different state.

As a
college student who could use the cash, Josephine gladly took the money for the
abortion. But because of religious reasons she did not have an abortion and
carried the child to term. She never told Peggy, Gary, or Jerry that she
delivered a child. Unfortunately, being a single mother and college student was
too much for Josephine. At three months, she took the child, whom she called
Greg, to the local hospital and surrendered him under the state’s Safe Haven
law.

Address the
following questions:

Shortly
after the child was surrendered, Jerry found out that Josephine had delivered a
child, which he thought was his. Jerry’s parents completed the paperwork
necessary to adopt Greg, because they could not fathom the idea of someone else
raising their grandchild. Should Jerry’s parents be allowed to adopt Greg?
Explain and support your answer.

Shortly
after the child’s second birthday, Greg needed to have minor surgery to correct
an intestinal problem. Part of the pre-surgery laboratory work involved
determining the child’s blood type. The blood typing indicated that it was
biologically impossible for Jerry to have fathered Greg. Jerry and Jerry’s
parents are now suing Josephine. Should Josephine have to pay the amount of
money it cost to raise and support Greg? Explain and support your answer.

As part of
her testimony in the lawsuit, Josephine discloses the truth about Greg and the
surrogacy pregnancy. Although enraged, Jerry’s parents felt it necessary to
contact Peggy and Gary. When Peggy and Gary learn that their biological child
had actually been born, they petitioned the court to have their child returned
to them and to award them custody. How should the court decide? Should the
child remain with Jerry’s parents or be given to Peggy and Gary? Explain and
support your answer.

Baby Fae
Case Study

On October
14, 1984, Baby Fae was born two weeks premature, with hypoplastic left heart
syndrome (a condition that at the time was 100 percent fatal). Baby Fae’s
mother, Teresa Beauclair, was presented with two options; keep the child in the
hospital or take the child home. Teresa opted to take the child home, and was
preparing to go through the dying process until Dr. Leonard Bailey presented
her with a third option. The highly experimental surgery involved replacing
Baby Fae’s heart with that of a baboon. Dr. Bailey had been investigating the
possibility of cross-species transplantation and discussed his research with
Teresa, gaining her consent to the operation. As you can image, the medical
procedure was publicized across the United States and animal rights activists
were outraged and protested.

While
initially, the operation appeared to be successful, Baby Fae’s organs started
to fail, leading to her death 21 days after the transplant surgery was performed.
In announcing her death at a press conference, Dr. Bailey stated, “Infants with
heart disease yet to be born will someday soon have the opportunity to live,
thanks to the courage of this infant and her parents.” One year later, the
first human to human heart transplant was performed in a child. Dr. Bailey
credits the success, in part, to the information and experience that was gained
by performing the xenotransplant (Cross-species) procedure.

Address the
following questions:

What is
your initial reaction to this case? What ethical concerns does this case bring
up in relation to: autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, fidelity, and
justice? Explain and give specific examples.

The study
of animal research has led to many advances in diabetes, cancer, neurological
conditions, and cardiac. Currently, pig and bovine valves are still used in
heart surgeries. Do you feel research on animals is necessary in the medical
field? Explain your answer.

If you were
caring for baby Fae, how could the following information effect your
interaction with the parents, and possible care of the child? Do you feel
information about the family: their past, current status, and criminal record,
should be publicized or shared? Explain your answers.

After the
transplant, NBC news released this information:

“NBC News
has learned the identity of the child’s parents. We will respect their wishes
and not name them. However, certain aspects of their past might be relevant to
some of the medical controversies in this case. According to relative and court
records, the couple was never married. They had separated by the time the
infant was born. Both have had trouble with the law in the state they came
from, the father for disorderly conduct, and the mother for passing bad checks.
They had little money when the baby was born.”

For each of
these cases an APA formatted paper must be used, and should include a title
page, level headings, references and citations.

This
assignment should include at least 3 references and

Should be
at least three pages in length for each case (six pages, not including title
page and references).

Students
should address the proposed questions providing ample detail, examples, and
additional support.

Assignment:

This week
students will complete an APA paper to address the following case study.

Mr. Corley
Case Study:

Walter and
Sheila Corley were married on January 20, 1984. ? At the time, they lived in
Texarkana, Arkansas. ? Their son Jerry was born in July 1985. ? Later that
year, the Corleys separated and were divorced. ? Sometime thereafter, the
Corleys reconciled and resumed living together, holding themselves out to
others as a married couple. ? In February 1988, the Corleys moved to Mr.
Corley’s hometown of Ferriday, Louisiana. ? The Corleys were remarried in
December 1988.

Neurofibromatosis,
a disease of the peripheral nerves of the body, is a condition marked by the
presence of numerous neurofibromas, which are tumors or growths arising from
the Schwann cells which form the covering membrane or sheath of a nerve fiber.
? Persons with neurofibromatosis frequently have café au lait spots of varying
sizes on their bodies as well. ? In addition, people afflicted with
neurofibromatosis experience a significantly increased risk of developing cancer.

In 1978,
Mr. Corley was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis and had four neurofibromas
removed from his head, arm, hip and leg by a physician in Texarkana. ?
Thereafter, a few months prior to his return to Louisiana in 1988, Mr. ?Corley,
who had no other known health problems, began experiencing low back pain.

On February
11, 1988, Mr. Corley sought medical treatment from Dr. Maurice Gremillion, a
family practitioner in Ferriday. ? On that date, Mr. Corley complained that he
had been experiencing low back pain and abdominal discomfort for approximately
four months. ? He also noted that he had intermittent right shoulder pain and
trouble sleeping. ? At Mr. Corley’s request, Dr. Gremillion ordered a total
work-up which included x-rays of the lower spine, chest, kidneys and gall
bladder, as well as an upper GI series. ? Dr. Gremillion also prescribed
Flexeril, a muscle relaxer, and Anaprox, an anti-inflammatory pain medication.
? Dr. Gremillion, feeling that Mr. Corley should be seen by a specialist, then
gave him a written referral to E.A. Conway Medical Center in Monroe for an
orthopedic evaluation.

E.A.
Conway, which is part of the L.S.U. system, is a teaching facility staffed by
permanent, full-time physicians as well as by doctors who are employed on a temporary,
rotating basis as interns and residents following their graduation from medical
school. ? The general operating procedure of E.A. Conway at the time of Mr.
Corley’s presentment was that all new patients, even those who have referrals
to a specific service or department, first go through the emergency room. ? At
that time, a patient is charted and evaluated by an emergency room physician. ?
From there, the patient is either treated or referred to a specific clinic for
further follow-up. ? In most cases, patients see different doctors each time
they report to the hospital or one of its clinics.

On March 2,
1988, Mr. Corley, accompanied by Sheila Corley, reported to the E.A. Conway
Emergency Room. The Corleys presented admitting personnel with all of Mr.
Corley’s records from Dr. Gremillion, including the x-rays and other test
reports. ? Dr. Bruce Fuller, an emergency room physician, took a history from
Mr. Corley and reviewed Dr. Gremillion’s notes and the x-ray reports. ? He also
conducted a routine physical examination and had x-rays made of Mr. Corley’s
low back. ? Notwithstanding the presence of several growths and café au lait
spots on Mr. Corley’s back and torso, Dr. Fuller was unaware that his patient
had neurofibromatosis.

Dr. Fuller
found everything to be within normal limits and it was his impression that Mr.
Corley was suffering from low back pain based on minimal subjective complaints
of pain. ? Dr. Fuller continued Mr. Corley on the medication prescribed by Dr.
Gremillion and made an appointment for him with the Orthopedic Clinic on March
16, 1988.

On that
date, Mr. Corley was seen in the Orthopedic Clinic by fourth year resident
McIntyre Bridges. ? Dr. Bridges does not recall looking at or reading the
x-rays or reports from Mr. Corley’s previous examinations. ? Dr. Bridges
conducted a physical exam, which was normal, and started Mr. Corley on a
conservative course of treatment for low back pain. ? Dr. Bridges’ notes from
this date indicate his awareness of Mr. Corley’s neurofibromatosis.

Mr. Corley
was next seen on April 20, 1988 by Dr. David Mehta. ? At the time, Dr. Mehta
was doing a surgical internship and was rotating through the Orthopedic
Department. ? Dr. Mehta’s notes reflect that his physical exam of Mr. Corley
was normal, but that he felt that Mr. Corley had a posture problem and referred
him to physical therapy for correction of his posture. ? Again, the notes do
not reflect whether Dr. Mehta reviewed any of Mr. Corley’s previous medical
records, x-rays or reports.

On
September 14, 1988, Mr. Corley was seen by fourth year surgical resident Keith
White. ? On that date, Mr. Corley noted that his pain had worsened and was
occasionally affecting his walking. ? Dr. White’s examination yielded no
objective findings of low back pain, but he did notice several café au lait
spots indicative of neurofibromatosis so he ordered a CT scan of Mr. Corley’s
low back to rule out any neurofibroma changes in the nerve roots. ? Dr. Ellis,
a radiologist at E.A. Conway, interpreted the CT scan as showing arthritis
consistent with fibrosis or spinal stenosis and possible edema of the right L-5
nerve root, which, according to Dr. White, may or may not have been the cause
of Mr. Corley’s back pain. ? As with Drs. Bridges and Mehta, Dr. White did not
review any of the previous medical records, x-rays or reports. ? Mr. Corley’s
last visit to E.A. Conway was September 21, 1988. ? On that date, Dr. White
reviewed the results of the CT scan with Mr. Corley, continued him on an
anti-inflammatory drug and encouraged him to continue his back exercises. ? Dr.
White instructed Mr. Corley to return to the clinic in three months.

Thereafter,
on October 26, 1988, Mr. Corley, plagued by constant back pain and beginning to
experience difficulty breathing, consulted Dr. Rick Maxwell, a chiropractor,
who did a full spinal x-ray which revealed a markedly diminished right lung
area. ? Dr. Maxwell sent Mr. Corley to his father, also a chiropractor, who
confirmed that there was a potential problem with Mr. Corley’s right lung and
recommended that he see a pulmonary specialist.

On October
31, 1988, Mr. Corley presented to Dr. Gremillion complaining of chest
congestion and shortness of breath. ? Dr. Gremillion diagnosed him with
bronchitis and implemented treatment accordingly. ? Mr. Corley returned to Dr.
Gremillion on November 14, 1988 with complaints of shortness of breath and
marked weight loss. ? Subsequent diagnostic testing confirmed the presence of a
very large mass in Mr. Corley’s right chest.

Prior to
his death on January 23, 1990, Mr. Corley received radiation and chemotherapy
treatment at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport.

Corley v.
State Department of Health Hospitals.

Student
should address the following questions regarding this case in an APA paper

What are
the facts of the case? This should include: what do we need to know, who is
involved in the situation, where does the ethical situation take place, and
when does it occur?

What is the
precise ethical issue in regards to autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence,
fidelity, and justice?

Identify
the major principles, rules, and values of the case. Values are sets of beliefs about good and
bad, right and wrong, and about many other aspects of living and interacting in
the society with others. A principle is a personal rule that governs personal
behavior. A rule is generally imposed by a figure of authority, and used to
guide and govern people.

Is there
legal ground for this case, if so what? Who is at fault? What legal action
should be taken?

Are there
alternatives to the actions completed in this case by both the patient and
healthcare facility? Do you feel the physicians were following hospital
protocol?

If you were
a member of the ethics committee at this facility, what actions or changes
would you recommend changing? Why?

For the
case study, an APA formatted paper should be used, and needs to include a title
page, level headings, references and citations. This assignment should include
at least 2 references and should be at least five pages in length. Students
should address the proposed questions providing ample detail, examples, and
additional support.

HCA415 Healthcare Ethics

Module 5 Assignment

Assignment:

This week
students will complete an APA paper to address the following case study

Amish Case
Study:

After an
Ohio Medina County judge ruled that Andy and Anna Hershberger, the parents of a
10-year-old girl, had the right to choose what was medically best for her, an
appeals court reversed the decision and sided with a hospital that is fighting
to resume her chemotherapy after her parents terminated the treatment. The
Hershbergers are a deeply religious Amish family, who chose to take a different
route from modern medicine after Sarah became ill from chemotherapy in June.
The girl reportedly begged her parents to stop her chemotherapy and testified
in court against resuming the treatment. “Our belief is, to a certain extent,
we can use modern medicine, but at some times we have to stop it and do
something else,” her father told the AP. They plan on going to a wellness
center and turning to natural medication such as herbs and vitamins in the
hopes that they could help her without putting her in pain. Akron Children’s
Hospital, where Sarah had begun her chemotherapy, strongly advocated for the
girl to continue her chemo, stating that it was a matter of life or death.

Sarah has
lymphoblastic lymphoma, a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that rarely affects
adults but is most often found in people under 35. It is reported to have a
five-year survival rate of 85 percent if the patient undergoes chemotherapy.
Lymphoma is a blood cancer that occurs when white blood cells divide faster
than regular cells, causing tumors of lymphoid cells to grow throughout the
body, typically in lymph nodes. “Although there’s all these dire medical
predictions they (Sarah’s parents) would refute that by saying this is matter
beyond the province of mortal man,” the Hershbergers’ attorney John
Oberholtzer told WKYC. “You have to have a kind of faith that a lot of us
don’t have…they absolutely have that faith.” He added that Sarah’s
parents might take the case to the Ohio Supreme Court, and that it could
potentially set a legal precedence with regards to who should hold the rights
over a child’s medical decisions when it’s a life or death situation. “There
has never been an allegation of parental unfitness, nor has the hospital or
anyone else requested legal or physical custody of this child,” Akron
Children’s Hospital said in a statement. “This involves a disagreement between
providers and parents over what course of treatment is best for their child.”
The hospitals’ chief medical officer Robert McGregor said last week that they
had a moral and legal duty to ensure that Sarah receives the treatment that is
in her best interest.

Address the
following questions regarding the case study

What are
the facts of the case? This should include: what do we need to know, who is
involved in the situation, where does the ethical situation take place, and
when does it occur?

What is the
precise ethical issue in regards to autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence,
fidelity, and justice?

Identify
the major principles, rules, and values of the case. Values are sets of beliefs about good and
bad, right and wrong, and about many other aspects of living and interacting in
the society with others. A principle is a personal rule that governs personal
behavior. A rule is generally imposed by a figure of authority, and used to
guide and govern people.

Are there
alternative to the actions completed in this case by both the parents and
healthcare facility?

Do you
feel, in this case, the hospital is honoring the religious and cultural beliefs
of the patient and her family? Can a hospital take a Jehovah Witness to court
to receive a medically needed blood transfusion? Is this case different due to the age of the
patient? Explain and support your answer.

If you were
a member of the ethics committee at this facility, what actions would you
recommend in this case? Would you be in support of the facility or family?
Explain and support your decision.

For the
case study, an APA formatted paper should b
