I will pay for the following essay Ethics in Healthcare-HCM 410/senior in college. The essay is to be 3 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

The focus of our discussion are the right to be reasonably informed participation in and consent to their health care program and the right to respectful and nondiscriminatory service.

Under the provisions of the law, patients are entitled to receive clear and concise explanation of their condition and the options they have regarding the management of their ailments. It is also an imperative that any proposed technical procedures should be discussed fully with the patient. “Except in emergency situations, patients will not be subjected to any procedure without their voluntary, competent and understanding consent or that of a legally authorized representative.”2

Although the law is very clear on this matter, ethical issues arise in emergency situations involving life and death. Let us take the example of ethical concerns in cases of Do Not Resuscitated Orders (DNR) in the emergency room where life is at stake. According to the law, the patient or his/her family should be involved in the process.

It is well established that there is no ethical obligation for physicians to provide treatment that is futile (AMA 1996). Yet, we could not pinpoint as to what extent can be refer a case to be futile. Discussing the issue of futility to the patient’s family is legal but is it ethical? At the point of death, discussing futility of treatment and the possibilities of giving a DRN order with the family of the dying patient is not only unkind but also very traumatic to the family. You simply cannot explain the clinical meaning of all these things and expect a clear understanding on the side of the family. As a nurse who has the duty “to practice with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity…of an individual”3 there will always be instances when the letters of the law may contradict with the values espoused by professional ethics.

The law so provides that you have the right to considerate, respectful and

1. Assume your hybrid car gets 38.0 miles per gallon (mpg) and the current price per gallon of regular, unleaded gasoline is $2.52. The car’s gas tank holds 11.5 gallons.

 a. How far (in km) can the car travel on a tank of gas?

b. What will be the cost of gasoline for a 160-mile trip?

c. How far (in miles and km) can the car travel on $10.00 worth of gas?

2. The world record for an adult male running 1.00 mile is 3.72 min. Calculate this speed in m/sec.

3. Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes, with a volume of 2900 mi3 . How many liters of water are contained in Lake Superior?

4. If the average American throws away 4.5 lb of trash each day, and the population of the US is estimated to be 311 million people, calculated the number of metric tons of garbage thrown away in the US each year.

hi im doing some homework on copper catalyed aerobic oxidations and theres some questions that i dont get. here they are

1. 4-hydroxy benzyl alcohol is not capable of undergoing oxidation with the present (bpy)Cu/TEMPO catalytic system, where the starting material is largely recovered at the end of the reaction, as evidenced by GC. Propose an explanation as to why no reaction is observed.

2. When a co-solvent of 1:1 H2O:CH3CN is employed, the oxidation of a primary alcohol with the (bpy)Cu/TEMPO system is much slower than with acetonitrile as a solvent. How can you account for this observation. 

3. Provide a mechanism for the transformation of 2-amino-5-bromobenzaldehyde to a quinoline with addition of 2-butanone and NaOH.

Create a 1 page essay paper that discusses Holiday or Thanks giving.

Preparing the dinner is an anxious time too. Serving a dry turkey will ruin an otherwise perfect day. Is there enough, are there various desserts and is anybody allergic to anything? Cousin so-in-so is a vegetarian which throws the entire menu into turmoil. Everybody is welcome so friends of relatives come by for dinner. Hopefully there is enough. Either that or there is too much so you are forced to take some of the green bean casserole and yam surprise home. There was extra because nobody liked it but you have to pretend is was the best thing on the table when a covered dish is pawned off on you while leaving.

Like the food, the conversation is always the same. How’s school/work, when’s the game on/over and this food/drink is delicious. People try to catch up a year’s time with virtual strangers. Politics are avoided if you’re lucky. Of course, an older uncle is spouting off about someone or something being involved with hell and hand baskets. Still, with all the tense moments, we look forward every year to both arriving and leaving the Thanksgiving celebration and will all our
