Write a 2-3 page paper that examines the moral and ethical issues involved in making a decision regarding limiting life support.

  • Write a 2-3 page paper that examines the moral and ethical issues involved in making a decision regarding limiting life support.
    End-of-Life Issues
    With our framework of ethical theories and principles in hand, we begin our look at some of the critical ethical issues in our contemporary world, starting with end-of-life issues. This assessment covers ethical questions related to end-of-life care. Passive euthanasia is the removal or refusal of life-sustaining treatment. Examples of passive euthanasia include removal of a feeding tube or a ventilator, or forgoing a life-prolonging surgery. Passive euthanasia is legal in all 50 states, and the principle of autonomy gives informed patients the right to refuse any and all treatments. Patients who are unable to make such decisions in the moment (because they are unconscious, for example) might have made their intentions clear beforehand with an advance directive or similar document. Things become more complicated, however, when a patient who is unable to make treatment choices has not made his or her wishes clear, either formally in a written document, or informally in conversations with family members or friends. Another problem concerns cases in which there is disagreement about whether the treatment is sustaining the life of a person in the full sense or merely as a body that, because of severe and irreversible brain trauma, is no longer truly a living person.
    Active euthanasia, or assisted suicide, introduces further difficult moral questions. A patient who has a terminal illness and who has refused treatments that would merely prolong a potentially very painful and debilitating death might want the process of dying to be hastened and made less painful. The patient might want to take his or her own life before the disease reaches its horrible final stages. Should patients be legally allowed to have help in this endeavor? If suicide itself is not morally wrong, at least in cases like these, is it wrong for another person to directly help bring about the patient’s death? Is it wrong for doctors, a role we naturally associate with healing and the promotion of life, to use their medical expertise to deliberately end a patient’s life if the patient wants this?
    Demonstration of Proficiency
    By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
    • Competency 1: Articulate ethical issues in health care. 
      • Articulate the moral issues associated with limiting life support.
    • Competency 2: Apply sound ethical thinking related to a health care issue. 
      • Demonstrate sound ethical thinking and relevant ethical principles when considering limiting life support.
      • Explain important considerations that arise when contemplating limiting life support.
    • Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals. 
      • Exhibit proficiency in clear and effective academic writing skills.
    • Preparation
    • Case Study: Mr. Martinez.                              Mr. Martinez was a seventy-five-year-old chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patient. He was in the hospital because of an upper respiratory tract infection. He and his wife had requested that CPR not be performed should he require it. A DNR order was written in the charts. In his room on the third floor, he was being maintained with antibiotics, fluids, and oxygen and seemed to be doing better. However, Mr. Martinez’s oxygen was inadvertently turned up, and this caused him to go into respiratory failure. When found by the therapist, he was in terrible distress and lay gasping in his bed.
    • This media piece provides the context for this assessment; make sure you have reviewed the case study thoroughly.
      Additionally, it may be useful to think through the following issues as they relate to Mr. Martinez’s case:
    • Should Mr. Martinez be transferred to intensive care, where his respiratory failure can be treated by a ventilator, and by CPR if necessary, and his oxygen level can be monitored? 
      • What are the key ethical issues or models at play in this case study?
      • What are the key end-of-life issues at play in this case study?
      • How can an understanding of models and best-practice help to guide health care practitioners to make ethical and legal decisions?
    • Instructions
      In a 2–3 page analysis of the case study, address the following:
    • The patient’s directives.
    • The patient’s quality of life.
    • The family’s stated preferences.
    • The moral issues associated with limiting life support.
    • The ethical principles most relevant to reaching an ethically sound decision.
    • Important considerations such as implications, justifications, and any conflicts of interest that might arise because of the patient’s respiratory failure.
    • When writing your assessment submission assume that doctors cannot contact Mrs. Martinez and must make this choice on their own. To help you reach an objective, ethically sound decision, draw upon concepts and arguments from the suggested resources or your independent research. Support your response with clear, concise, and correct examples, weaving and citing the readings and media throughout your answer.
      Submission Requirements
    • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
    • APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting guidelines.
    • Length: 2–3 typed, double-spaced pages.
    • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
 
 
 

Monumental Architecture and Sculpture

Question 1: Monumental Architecture and Sculpture

The cultures we studied this week produced architecture, earthworks, and monumental sculpture, in addition to smaller works of art. Using your course textbook locate three examples of architecture, earthworks or monumental sculpture from three different cultures listed here: Islamic, Chinese, Japanese, or the Americas.

First, completely identify each structure or sculpture you would like to discuss by listing its name, date, and location.

In a minimum of 3 well-developed paragraphs address the following questions:

  1. Who created each work of architecture or sculpture? Who commissioned its creation?
  2. What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the creation of each work?
  3. How do the visual characteristics of each work contribute to or enhance its message or meaning?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each work of architecture or monumental sculpture.

Question 2: The Function of Art Objects

Some of the art objects created by the cultures surveyed this week served functional roles in their society. Using your course textbook locate three such objects, one each from the following: Islamic, Asian (Chinese or Japanese), and African.

First, completely identify each object you would like to discuss by listing its name, date, and location.

In a minimum of 2 well-developed paragraphs discuss:

  1. What was the function of each object at the time of its creation?
  2. What historical events or social or cultural influences affected the creation of each work?
  3. How do the visual characteristics of each object contribute to or enhance our understanding of its meaning?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each work.

Respond to both questions as thoroughly as possible, making sure to use information from the readings and the lectures. All responses should be in complete sentence form, using proper spelling and grammar.

Response Discussion Board

 On Chapter 18, Lesson 3, Page 380 I learned about The Biome. The biome is an aquatic life zone and known for the vegetation in the aquatic biome. There are different zones that are categorized in Photic zone and aphotic zone. There is an illustration (Figure 18.15) that shows us the difference of the zones in an aquatic biome with the Benthic Realm, which is made up of sand and organic sediments. Microscopic algae and cyanobacteria that drift near the surface affect lakes and ponds due to the large inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus from sewage. This affects our oceans and sea animals because they suffer from oxygen depletion (Air restriction) and kill fish that adapted to high oxygen enviornments. This relates to my everyday life because my friends and I go to the beach to clean up garbage in the waters as best as we can and this is a big social issue regarding our concerns with sea life and we always come up with ways to prevent our sea animals from dying. Very interesting topic.  

 

 

 

 

i have to make a response to that.
