Recently, some courts and some judges have ordered punishments that “shame” defendants as a result of the crimes these defendants have committed.

For example, people have been ordered to hold “idiot” signs and in Utah the mother of a 13-year-old girl was ordered to cut the ponytail of her daughter in order to reduce a community service requirement.

In a 2-3-page paper, using APA format, address the issue “Is Shaming Right?”

You should identify the purposes of criminal punishment, trends in punishment, and then examine whether or not shaming can punish, educate and/or rehabilitate.

Finally, you should address whether or not shaming punishments should be used in the criminal punishment process and provide support for your reasoning.

You should use detailed examples in you paper and explain your analysis thoroughly. You are required to use 2-3 outside sources and incorporate those into your paper.

Please be sure to include a reference page at the end of your paper.no foriegn references & properly cite

System Interoperability

 

For health care organizations in this country and around the world, the achievement of system interoperability is an ever-present aim as health information technology solutions are selected and implemented. Ideally, the technology solution that is selected will work in concert with current and evolving standards and processes. Yet there are a number of factors that can slow or even prevent altogether the achievement of system harmony and integration.

 

Prepare for this Discussion as follows:

 

• Review the main challenges to interoperability among health care systems, as described in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Select a clinical or administrative area or function in a health care setting, such as radiology, pharmacy, laboratory, ICU, admissions, or patient billing. Preferably, this will be an area in which you intend to work in the near future. Through online research, find out more about the IT standards that would be most relevant to this department or function. Identify interoperability issues that commonly arise and solutions that have been found or are being proposed.
• Consider the ways in which management can help to find solutions to these challenges.

ASSIGNMENT – Each bullet point must be answered separately using examples and peer reviewed scholarly articles or work from legitimate references.

• In the first line of your posting, identify the health care area or function you selected.
• Describe one significant impediment to achieving system interoperability within and between health care organizations.
• What is the most relevant standard(s) in your selected clinical or administrative area or function, and what are important interoperability issues that arise here? Provide a specific example that illustrates this problem in practice.
• How are these interoperability issues best addressed? What could you, as a manager in this area, do to assist in resolving the problem?

Ethical and Legal Issues

Submit 1- to 2-page essay.

Case Study:

Ann is a seventy-seven-year-old grandmother. She has one daughter and three grandchildren. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with moderately advanced Alzheimer’s disease, which causes her to have periods of confusion, frustration, anger, and obsessive thinking. When speaking, she is uncertain and her speech patterns are choppy. Before her mental deterioration, Ann was a woman of love, intelligence, and patience. Realizing they were getting older, she and her husband, Frank, discussed their wishes should anything happen to them. She told Frank that if there was no chance of survival, she would not want to be hooked to a breathing machine. They never got around to filling any papers.

Frank is a sweet and sensitive man. His wife’s state frightens him. Ann’s love for him has been the focus of his life for sixty years. His urgent desire for the best care for Ann shows his devotion and love. Their daughter, Sarah, is a businesswoman. She is a hard worker and a good mother. She is forty-five, successful, and intelligent. Although she loves her parents dearly, she lives ten hours away. She regrets not seeing much of them, especially recently. Frank feels his role is to take care of Ann. He has spent the past year with her, watching after her, cooking for her, cleaning the home, and witnessing her deterioration. Finally, Ann is unable to walk alone safely and he finds he must have her admitted to a long-term care facility. He calls Sarah to come and help with the arrangements. After having Ann admitted to a local nursing home, both Frank and Sarah remember the pleading look in Ann’s eyes as they walk away.

After three weeks in the nursing home, Ann starts to cough and run a fever. She is seen by doctors and diagnosed as having pneumonia. She is transferred to a local hospital, where she is given intravenous antibiotics. Although the progress of her pneumonia is halted by the antibiotics, she stops talking and refuses to eat. The physician calls Frank to insert a feeding tube. Frank calls Sarah to ask what to do. They wonder, Is a feeding tube equivalent to a breathing machine? Would it be possible to allow Ann to lie there and die of starvation? Is that murder? What would she want? What is the right thing to do? (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2008).

Respond to the following with these headings:

• Discuss the ethical decisions you would make.
• Discuss the legal decisions you would make.
• Explain, as a nurse, what advice would you give to Frank and Sarah.

Support your responses with examples.

Criminal Prosecution for Nursing Practice

Submit a 1- to 2-page essay

Case Study:

Until recently, the risk of criminal prosecution for nursing practice was nonexistent unless nursing action rose to the level of criminal intent, such as the case of euthanasia leading to murder charges. However, in April 1997, three nurses at the Centura St. Anthony Hospital, outside of Denver, were indicted by a Colorado grand jury for criminally negligent homicide in the death of a newborn. Public records show that one nurse was assigned to care for the baby. A second nurse offered to assist her colleague in caring for the baby. A third nurse was a nurse practitioner in the hospital nursery. Because the baby was at risk for congenital syphilis, the physician ordered that the nurses give 150,000 units of intramuscular penicillin, which would have required five separate injections.

In relation to other problems the same day, the baby was subjected to a lumbar puncture, which required six painful attempts. To avoid inflicting further pain, nurse two asked the nurse practitioner whether there was another route available for the administration of the penicillin. Nurse two and the nurse practitioner searched recognized pharmacology references and determined that intravenous administration would be acceptable. The nurse practitioner had the authority to change the route and directed nurse two to administer the medication intravenously rather than intramuscularly. Unrecognized by the nurses, the pharmacy erroneously delivered the medication, prepared and ready to administer, in a dose ten times greater than was ordered—1.5 million units. As nurse two was administering the medication intravenously, the baby died. The Colorado Board of Nursing initiated disciplinary proceedings against nurse two and the nurse practitioner, but not against nurse one. The grand jury indicted all three nurses on charges of criminally negligent homicide but did not indict the pharmacist (Calfee & Plum, 1997).

Respond to the following with these headings:

• Identify what emotions are evoked as you consider the Colorado Board of Nursing case stated above?
• Should the courts take into consideration the fact that the nurses’ error occurred because they wanted to avoid causing the baby unnecessary pain? Discuss your thinking.
• Can you think of other occupations in which the consequences of unintentional errors have greater legal implications? Discuss your answer.
• How should the nursing profession respond to this frightening new legal threat?
• Which sections of the State Nurse Practice Act did the nurses violate?
