How would you decide the best way to honor a patient’s autonomy in a nursing home and what will you decide?

Scenario 1

The rising number of uninsured patients has led to an increased reliance on the hospital emergency room for routine nonemergency care.  EMTALA ensures patients’ access to the emergency room of any hospital, regardless of patients’ insurance status or their ability to pay.  Using the South University Online library or the Internet, read about EMTALA.  You can search for this act by using the keyword, “EMTALA” and respond to the following question:

  • How do the law and the medical profession’s code of ethics impact those individuals who seek care from emergency departments for reasons other than those that are truly emergencies?

Scenario 2

Autonomy is one of the most important ethical principles discussed in long-term care.  Often, autonomy is in danger of being sacrificed when a patient is in need of a higher level of care.  Imagine you are part of the staff at the local nursing home.  The administrator has asked you and a group of other employees to discuss the principle of autonomy and how it can be applied to the nursing home setting.  As a staff member, answer the following questions:

  • How would you decide the best way to honor a patient’s autonomy in a nursing home and what will you decide?
  • How would you handle differences of opinion in the group as you try to come to a consensus on the best way to preserve autonomy?

Policy Change Proposal Section II

Introduction

The proposed policy change is meant to improve the effectiveness of public laws and regulations and even give information on the public use of funds. Further, it will address the practices of the private sector employment that affects the ability of people to work and make their living above the poverty line and this mostly applies to the youths, unmarried dependent adults. The proposal is meant to make the public policy more inclusive, collaborative and responsive to the interests of the ordinary citizen so as to prepare them for their future life.

From the proposed amendment, there are measurable goals that will determine the level of success of the policy change proposal and this will include: First, by the end of the year we expect 60{0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} of unmarried adult children to be independent and live an economically viable lifestyle. Second, by the end of 2018, the rate of poverty to reduce by 19{0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} since the country will be composed of economically productive youths. Lastly, we expect the employment rate in the country to increase by 26{0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} thereby increasing the economy of the country (Dillon, Erin & Rotherham 2009).

Policy change options

“Do nothing option” is when one does offer no initiative for change characterized by unwillingness and inability to take responsibility or work towards an achievement. Incremental change option is the step of making small adjustments to the expected end results, and mostly it does not alter or threaten the existing structure of the youthful age or alter the current methods of family management in this case of the change proposal. A major change option is the one that will alter the content, structure, the scheme of assessment and the mode of provision of the programs in question i.e. it will entail deletion, addition and replacement to a substantial part of the program or the act of law (Detixhe 2011).
