The Nuremberg Code Advanced practice nurses face numerous ethical dilemmas in their daily activities, and they have to refer to the code of ethics that governs their practice to make the appropriate decisions. Advanced practice nurses must follow the Nuremberg Code because their profession entails experimentation with humans ( The Nuremberg Code , 2015). Nursing guidelines and models have been developed to guide nurses in their conduct, but there are always moments of an ethical dilemma that arise owing to the preferences of the patients. This paper looks into an example of a moral dilemma that an advanced practice nurse may encounter, and the possible solution. Ethical dilemma One of the most common ethical dilemmas that advanced practice nurses face is the lack of consent on the part of the patient. Patients under the age of 16 years require parental consent. With this group of patients, parental consent is important when the health care professionals have to undertake specific treatment methods to save the lives of patients. However, parental consent is not always granted, especially when the treatment procedures involve significant risks to the lives of the patients (Forman & Ladd, 2012). In such cases, advanced practice nurses are left with the task of providing the relevant information to the parents to lure them into giving consent. In some instances, parental consent is not attained, and legal measures have to be applied. There are also cases where one parent refuses to give consent for treatment procedures for their children, whereas the other parent agrees to the treatment. Case A good example of such an ethical dilemma was when patient A, a 12-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with a brain tumor whose removal would have had dire consequences for the cognitive development of the child. Failure to remove the tumor would also risk his life. After consulting with the mother of the child, she was adamant that the tumor should not be removed. However, the father was willing to sign the consent papers for the tumor to be removed. This situation posed an ethical dilemma for physicians handling the boy because operating on the boy was an immense risk, and failing to remove the tumor was also quite risky. Solution
Since its large-scale inception in the mid-nineteenth century, the Chinese immigration has been a noticeable factor in the development of both countries. The American society has been altered significantly because of the sheer volume of the incoming populace, as well as the inevitable changes introduced on the social, cultural, and economic levels. China has also been subject to influence – because of the returning immigrants, the involvement of the Chinese living in America into Chinese affairs to varying degree (Lai 21), and the multitude of inevitable tensions resulting from complications of immigration. Some of the aspects of U.S. immigration policies has led to the emergence of the new phenomena, like the businesses offering their services of attaining citizenship by exploiting legal gaps in the procedure. According to the reports, the level of education among the Chinese immigrants is the highest when compared to those from other countries and even to American population, with 47 percent of the Chinese holding a bachelor or higher degree against only 28% and 30%, respectively (Hooper and Batalova par. 7). While such determination definitely benefits the median education level, it is met with unpredictable hostility in China. Cases in which the Chinese government is applying sanctions of varying severity to the Chinese specialists who return to their homeland after receiving proper training in the United States are not uncommon. The most recent widely publicized case is that of Hu Zhicheng, an engineer who, after a successful career in the U.S. has decided to apply his talent in China. While such turn of events is theoretically the most desired outcome for Chinese authorities, Hu Zhicheng’s endeavor has ended in him falling under unexplained and vague restrictions that forbid him both to continue his work and to leave China (Jacobs, “Engineer’s Return” par. 2). Mr. Hu is not the only immigrant experiencing such treatment, as his case is strikingly similar to that of Chen Guangcheng, a legal advocate who has resorted to fleeing the country in order to have an opportunity to study as well as to evade the harsh family planning policies (Liu par. 3). Unfortunately, the intervention by American officials has resulted in the case gaining an unusual notoriety, and Guangcheng’s subsequent involvement in the controversial partisanship (Jacobs, “After Epic Escape” par. 2). Both cases show the adverse effects of the political agenda of the government in the otherwise beneficial process. The political scene remains the powerful driving force behind the majority of issues connected to immigration communities. The 2012 “Humble Locke” phenomenon is another illustration of how the successful story can get in the way of the government agenda. In 2011, the occasional photograph of the American ambassador to China, Gary Locke, has gained tremendous coverage by media (“Flying coach” par. 1). The reason for this is the stark contrast b
10 Things I Hate About You is a movie that was produced by Andrew Lazar and directed by Gil Junger and released on the 31 st /03/1999. It is an American teen romantic comedy that features Bianca, a young beautiful high school student whose desire for a social life is thwarted by her father (Maher 2007). The father is so strict on her. In fact, he can not allow her to date until her elder sister, Kat does so. However, her persistence later makes her fall in the hands of both loving and exploiting boys who give her different forms of treatments. For instance, Joey takes advantage of her and only uses her as a sex tool. This is a great lesson to her and any other youth who may fall in the trap of such destructive boys. Actually, this is a must-watch movie because it is educating and useful for both parents and the youth in equal measure. Its theme is so important to all the people in the society. Besides, it makes use of cheerful, inventive and subtle music originally played by the Cleo band (Raymond 2001). In my analysis, I will focus on Bianca and Joey as my interesting characters that, as the protagonists of this comedy, play a very significant role in helping deliver the main message to the audience. Actually, they are used to represent a class of the youth who defy the orders in the pursuit of pleasure but end up regretting a lot in the long run (Aames 2006). To begin with, Bianca Kat’s younger sister is a very popular student at Pauda Stadium High School. Her celebrity is brought by the latest designer, fashions, that she wears during her interactions with the other students in the same school. One of the things that fascinate me is the fact that she defies the odds and acts extraordinarily. She opted not to date Joey, the most popular guy in this school. Instead, she decides to date the little known Cameron. Her idea was that she had seen true love from Cameron, who loved her so much. Their relationship would be more intimate and romantic than if she fell for Joey. Joey is a bad boy and would not treat her with the dignity she deserves. Just the way she discovered, his major objective was to have her for sex then dump her. This is so heartbreaking and can not please any lady who respects her body. She is, therefore, wise enough to choose between love and lust. Unlike in many other instances where ladies prefer bad boys over gentlemen, she avoids this mistake in her case. This helps the readers to be choosy and cautious in all that they do without necessarily being influenced by external forces (Rosenbaum 2000). On the other hand, Joey is a very opportunistic guy who took popular Bianca for granted. Despite his popularity in the school, his conduct is not good. I am particularly against his cunning conduct, especially when he trapped the charming Bianca and used her as a sex tool before dumping her (Nielsen 2009). He must be a sex maniac because, before his desires for Bianca, this model had bedded her elder sister, Kat. Actually, this movie is so interesting since it was well directed. The characters make good use of the figures of speech. They use a combination of facial expression, gestures,
Ethical issues are very important in the work of every organization. It is impossible to align its effective and positive working process without taking into account the peculiarities of the culture of its workers. It especially deals with companies where a great number of representatives of different cultures and countries work. UNICEF is a nonprofit organization of that type. It has its missions all over the world, and each of them faces different cultures and traditions. Very often, the organization hires workers from local people; that is why its officials should take into account their ethnic peculiarities. The structure of this organization is very furcated; a great number of its branches are located all over the world. The most important fact is that the company does not have any benefits from its work, expect happy smiles of children as its main aim is to improve conditions under which they live. Being the organization with a great number of workers who have different cultural peculiarities and ethnicity, UNICEF, of course, has its own and unique organizational culture, which also helps this organization to create a tolerant and effective ethnical policy for the company to work with representatives of different cultures. It is very easy to understand this mechanism. For example, having understood the best way to communicate with Muslims, the company can use this experience while creating ethnic policy for working with representatives of this culture. The company’s unique organizational culture also guarantees that there will not be any sign of disrespectful attitude to certain cultural peculiarities, and even a potentially unethical policy is not possible within the frames of work of this company. Great respect for all ethnicities and cultures has already become an inseparable part of the company’s image. As it was mentioned above, the greater amount of representatives of different cultures work in the company, the easier it is for this company to make certain decisions connected with ethnic issues and create some new and effective policies. Representatives of different ethnic groups have different peculiarities of their culture and different traditions. That is why the work of any international company should be organized according to these peculiarities and taking into account some cultural aspects of work. Norms of behavior which are adopted in the company, help to create effective policy or practice of communicating with representatives of a certain culture. Each Muslim must pray at sunset. Having a lot of Muslims working for them, UNICEF officials have understood this peculiarity and build their policy, keeping it in mind. Multiculturalism is a very useful thing for a company. UNICEF has unique ethical policies that are created to protect the rights of children. However, sometimes these pol
Introduction The law of employment also referred to as the labor law is a field of law that governs relations between employees and employers. It is adopted by every country with regard to its economic, legal, and mental specificities. This paper aims at investigating the primary features of employment law in the United Arab Emirates and determining how it is applied by organizations. The overview of UAE law of employment In the United Arab Emirates, labor matters are governed by one law – the Federal Law No. 8 of 1980 Regulating Labor Relations (hereafter the Law). There were several amendments to the law designed and adopted during the subsequent years with the latest changes introduced in 2016. This legal act regulates all workplace relations beginning from employment including recruitment of women, children, and juveniles to determining all details of organizing and managing work processes and defining working schedules, disciplinary rules, and quitting provisions. It also offers information about vacations, professional training, handling labor disputes, controlling the quality of work, and penalties. Gathering all provisions in one comprehensive law is beneficial for both employees and employers because they do not have to investigate a broad legislative framework. It makes the UAE labor system effective and well-organized. All staff and workers whether natives or foreigners are obliged to follow the provisions of the Law. However, there are several categories of staff and employees to whom the Law is not applicable. These groups comprise of people employed by the federal government and the government departments, public and federal government institutions, municipalities, domestic servants, people involved in agriculture and grazing (except employees of companies specializing in processing food), and members of armed forces, security units, and police (“UAE Labor Law” 4). The Law specifies that employing expatriates is only possible after receiving the permission of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. Moreover, Chapter 3 of the Law highlights the necessity of signing employment contracts that determine all details of placing to the job including the date of starting work, scheduling, wages and remuneration, nature of work and its location, rights, and responsibilities, and the duration of the contract unless it is unlimited in time. It should be noted that it is permissible to conclude the contracts in oral form. However, in this case, they are automatically considered as those for an unlimited period (“UAE Labor Law” 12). The fact that an expatriate should receive permission to work in the UAE is motivated by the active policy of Emiratization designed by the federal government. According to this labor policy framework, specific attention should be paid to making the native population a dominant group of those employed. High wages and standards of living together with a favorable tax regime made the UAE attractive to foreigners. To solve the problem of foreign domination in the workplace, the Ministry of Labor has introduced the labor quota – a
Introduction Machine politics is an exchange process in which it is seen as an essential way for those who would like to win the elections and the political machines encouraged the favors and the benefits of the votes in America. Political machines operated during the time when the public life was different from the home life. Features of the machine politics are that it was made of the political leaders to exercise their powers and there were different group of leaders who had different function to make the organization work. Different groups of people, who include: the party leads who was the boss and was the controller of every thing in the organization. He was above the administrative assistants and this meant that he guided the activities that were done in the organization. There was the ward leader who worked with the top leaders, the precinct captains followed these ward leaders and lastly there are the block captains. (Dick, 1990) Essay Body A function of the machines was the cooperation in which they led to the need for these people knowing what to do and how to go about the problems that existed. There was the protection of the shops and the buildings were protected from the attacks this is because the political machines received payoffs from the sweatshops and therefore there was the need to care for the changes that occurred. The changes also operated in setting the losses that were caused by the ethnic clashes and the resettlement of the new arrivals of the navitists. Benefits for these political machines included: there was the naturalization of the new citizens and the provision of new arrivals the right channel to the social mobility. There was the material benefit like the assistance for food and shelters and other basic needs that are required during the times of elections this was a benefit to the people. The leaders viewed if as a safe way of waiting for the establishment of the civic actions. The groups had an agreement and the machines had to have the assistance that was concerned with the achievement of the goals and this led to the attainment of the votes that were required. The urban machines were responsible for dispense of the non-material benefits to the concerned groups. There was the expansion of the cities, businesses and the real estate developers got profit and there was the distribution of the new patronage jobs in the places that was concerned. The political machine has it concern in ensuring that the growth that was undertaken was to be done in the right manner and therefore the permissions that was intended was given to the concerned group. (Dick, 1990) Limitations of these machines is that it was also seen as the breakage system where by the machine politician had interest on the keeping the power for himself and had no concern in seeking for the advance broad public policy goals. The machine leaders were in the risks of making enemies and this led to the losses of votes. The machines was not responsible for all in the city and therefore this meant that it was not beneficial to all but it had its main concer
Introduction Paul Burns said that the secret to success in a changing environment is not only based on the capability to achieve cost-efficiency but the ability to be “adaptable, flexible, speedy, creative, innovative and opportunistic” (Burns, 2008, p.1). Burns also made the clarification that the presence of these qualities means that the businessman is ready to act in an entrepreneurial manner (Burns, 2008, p.1). Through this statement, Burns made it clear that an entrepreneur behaves differently from an ordinary businessman. A businessman that attempts to solve a problem within the events industry must listen to this advice. It must be made clear that speed and adaptability are two characteristics that are usually found in small firms or in organizations that employ only a handful of people. Large organizations can claim belief in speed and adaptability but in truth it is extremely difficult to subscribe to these principles. An established business with hundreds and thousands of employees and millions of pounds in operating expense cannot change their business model at the drop of a hat. The focus will be on creativity in order to provide innovative solutions to problems. Innovation is a hallmark of successful entrepreneurship. There is no need to elaborate on the fact that giant corporations in the 21 st century started as small firms with an innovative solution to a particular problem. The founders saw a way to meet the needs of potential customers. Consider for instance the creation of an affordable vehicle by the first British automaker or the establishment of a telecom infrastructure by the predecessors of the first British telecom company. The same thing can be said of recent successes by Microsoft and Google. The business brains behind their success were able to develop innovative products and strategies that attracted the patronage of clients. Entrepreneurship and Innovation Innovation is not only needed in the beginning phase of a company’s evolution. Innovation is needed on a regular basis because it is a key to sustainable growth. It is an important ingredient in an established corporation and a vital component for a
Depression is a chronic illness that impacts a person’s body, psychological state, and social contacts. This paper aims to examine the case of Majorie, a 75-year-old female, who had depression previously after the death of her daughter. The patient was hospitalised for the treatment since the antidepressant therapy did not improve her state. The purpose of this paper is to use a biopsychosocial theory to assess her mental and physical health and avoid further complications. The comprehensive evaluation is expected to provide the multidisciplinary team with sufficient information to choose relevant treatment options. The attention will be paid to the connectedness between the mental and physical health of Majorie. By understanding this link, it will be possible to address the depressive symptoms and ensure a higher quality of life for the patient (Arthur et al. , 2020). The paper will also discuss the required nursing and communication skills that are significant for effective care. More to the point, the roles of nurses, an interprofessional team, and the patient’s family will be examined regarding the improvement of Majorie’s health condition. In terms of a biopsychosocial theory, it is critical to assess the biology, environment, and psychology of a patient (Pocklington, 2017). The interaction of these components should be considered to better understand how to overcome depression in the given patient. In terms of biology, Majorie suffers from weight loss and a lack of appetite, which is complicated by the refusal to see her grandchildren. For a person, the interaction with the family is one of the most important sources of success. It can be useful to encourage the family to communicate with her, explaining the role they play. The current lack of any interest in her life, including the unwillingness to change her clothes, points to the increased risk to her health (Pocklington, 2017; Ribeiro et al. , 2018). Since this patient has previous depressive episodes and experience of electro-convulsive therapy (ECT), the care plan should be developed with the involvement of an interdisciplinary team. The assessment of Majorie’s mental health can be performed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) as this model covers the basic health areas. In particular, fatigue or energy loss, weight loss, the reduced ability to think, and low interest in activities are relevant to this patient (Öğülmüş et al ., 2020; Tsoi et al. , 2017). These symptoms show that even though depression is a mental disorder, it also affects a person’s physical and social well-being. In addition, it is possible to suggest applying the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) which implies asking the patient about his or her feelings, concentration, speaking, and thoughts (Levis, Benedetti, & Thombs, 2019). The value of this inventory is associated with its specificity and sensitivity to patients, which allows avoiding generalisations and mistakes in diagnosing.
