“Interdisciplinary” ethics committee – Jimmy is an 11-year old boy who suffers from lymphoma Case Study
$10.00Think like an “interdisciplinary” ethics committee. Chapter 10 contains information on Ethics Committees.
Review the case below and adopt 2-3 roles (below) and develop a response to this case. The perspective of each role you choose may look different. For example, a CEO will respond differently than a physician than will a nurse.
Case for review:
Jimmy is an 11-year old boy who suffers from lymphoma. His oncologist has indicated that without chemotherapy, he is likely to die within 6 months. She has also indicated that in most cases, chemotherapy provides an effective cure in only 20 percent of cases like Jimmy’s; in most cases, chemotherapy produces at best an additional 3-6 month extension of life.
Jimmy is also compromised by an incurable neurological disease. This disease will eventually make it impossible for him to walk, talk or use his hands effectively. Already, he speech is slurred and he cannot hold a pencil. Even without lymphoma, the prognosis– because of the neurological disease– is death by the age of 18.
Jimmy has been raised in a strong religious environment, and his belief in God has been an important comforting factor to him. After having the facts fully explained to him, he has accepted his situation and the inevitability of his death at a young age. He says he does not want the chemotherapy and that he is ready to “go to God.” His parents, however, cannot reconcile themselves to losing Jimmy. They want to override his decision/proceed with chemotherapy.
Adopt 2-3 of these roles and develop a response to the case. Include specific perspectives for each role you adopt:
– Administrator/CEO
– Physician
– Nurse
– Oncologist
– Social Worker
– Psychologist
– Clergy/Chaplain
– Community member
– Lawyer
– Ethicist
– Health Services Administration/Health Professions Undergraduate StudentWhat kind of LEGAL steps would you take to try to discourage the formation of a union
$5.00Topic: The setting is a 100-bed nursing home facility which employs about 135 employees and none of them are currently unionized. About one quarter of these employees are either administrators or supervisors and cannot be unionized. There has been significant turnover in leadership at the facility in recent years which has resulted in changing rules and procedures for all staff. Management staff that has remained thinks that they have done everything they can to keep employees happy. They even held a company barbeque last summer for everyone. They say that their hands are tied because the revenue streams for the facility have decreased because of cutbacks in reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid, and private payers are also starting to negotiate lower rates. The nurses are increasingly being asked to work double shifts and patient care is starting to suffer. Wage increases have been non-existent or minimal. Supervisors appear to be ill-trained and are grouchy with everyone. The free bus passes employees used to get as a benefit have been revoked. One of the nursing staff decided she was fed up and is now trying to organize her colleagues under a union.
Original Post You are a health care administrator within the facility. You are informed by one of your supervisors that this nurse is attempting to organize employees into a union. Assume that you are opposed to this action, what kind of LEGAL steps would you take to try to discourage the formation of a union or to show that it really isn’t needed? (Note that you will have had to follow the instructions in the learning module for this week, which required you to “jump to” the NLRB website to successfully respond to this question).
Response Post Respond to one of your classmate’s post from the perspective of the nurse union organizer. Describe why such working conditions are a problem for you and why starting a union is the best solution to those problems.
Sources: To receive full credit, you must cite at least one academic or government source to support your position in your original thought post. Please do not cite your book – this assignment requires you to do additional work. The following websites are not appropriate academic citations: Wikipedia.com; Ehow.com; Ask.com; About.com or anything in the same genre.

Facility disaster management plan: You are a new health services administrator at Good-Patient Hospital
$5.00Topic: You are a new health services administrator at Good-Patient Hospital located on the east coast of Florida. Upon reviewing different aspects of the facility, you realize that there is no facility disaster management plan in place. You are specifically worried about hurricanes but recognize that there may be other types of disasters that need attention. Good sources to look is publications from the JCAHO and the Florida Dept of Health.
Original Post You have three options available to you to develop the plan. These include:
- assign the task to one of the junior health services administrators within the facility;
- form a planning committee of employees to develop the plan; or
- bring in an experience contractor to create the plan.
In your original post discuss:
- Which of these options, or combination of options, do you think will help you create the best plan possible? and
- What types of organizations outside your facility might be important partners to include in the plan because they would be key in responding to a disaster?
