Spiritual Needs in Healthcare Question 1 Respect for autonomy may present a dilemma where a minor is involved. Mike is James’ parent and is only allowed to make decisions that are in the best interest of James. The physician is responsible for the wellbeing of the patient and should only allow decisions that are in the best interest of the patient (Micek, 2016). Therefore the physician should not allow Mike to continue making irrational decisions as that will go against the autonomous principle that James should enjoy. The dilemma that faces the physician is that Mike could claim to be responsible for the wellbeing of his son. Also, James is young and might be unable to make substantial autonomous decisions concerning his life. However, the physician should be able to use their profession effectively so that they have Mike under check and that his decision-making is well-advised. Also, the ability to offer solutions will improve the relationship between Mike and the physician and Mike will be willing to listen to the physician. Furthermore, the physician could confront Mike concerning previous…

Infrastructure and Surveillance in Global Health Infrastructure and Surveillance Preventing diseases is among the initiatives set by the World health organization towards ensuring global health. Governments are tasked with preventing the causes of various health complications around their populations. This is achieved by protecting the populations against health-hazardous environments (“Environmental Health | Healthy People 2020”, 2020). The emergence of infectious diseases arises among the interactions of populations around the globe and may spread quickly through movements such as travel from one country to another. Infrastructural development of healthcare facilities is also an initiative set to improve the general health status of the populations of the world. Improving the infrastructure and surveillance of healthcare systems and global health status is majorly meant to prevent the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. For instance, the occurrence of Ebola in West Africa would result in the infection spreading to other countries if the health of the nation is not monitored and maintained (“Public Health Infrastructure | Healthy People 2020”, 2020). Governments are urged to provide and equip their healthcare departments with an infrastructural…
Healthcare Challenges in the 21st Century In the last ten years, the provision of healthcare has had drastic changes. Most of the changes in the health organizations have improved the quality of healthcare provided to the patients by the healthcare providers. People in America have enjoyed a period of healthier lives and advances due to improved technology that has enhanced the ability of healthcare providers to prevent and treat current infections in the world. Through improved technology in healthcare organizations such as the implementation of Electronic Health Records and the invention of more effective machines, the work of employees and other stakeholders has been made easier. There has been a reduction of medical errors from both the physicians and nurses, waiting time of patients has dramatically decreased due to EHR systems, and there has been the increased engagement of patients in healthcare through the use of electronic devices to access healthcare which has been made available by many healthcare organizations. Despite all the benefits of healthcare in the 21st century, several challenges are facing health systems that may or may…

touring the country A: Thank you all for coming this evening. As I’m sure you all know, our in-store guest today is Rachel Asher. Ms. Asher is currently touring the country promoting her new book, Home Away from Home, based on her experiences raising small children while working for a U.S. corporation overseas. Welcome! B: Thank you. A: Can you share with us an example of one of the stories you included in the book? B: Certainly. One of my favorite stories occurred when my husband and I lived in Tokyo. It involves the Japanese custom of removing shoes when entering the home. We in the U.S., of course, are not normally in the practice of taking off our shoes every time we enter a house. Now . . . most everyone in Japan and the U.S. knows about the other’s customs, but that doesn’t mean that your small children are prepared to deal with it . . . and more importantly, prepared to accept both traditions without judgment. [unique_solution]A: Right. Go on. B: Well, we let our 5 year…
Why the U.K doesn’t have Problems with Vaping Introduction In this article, the author (Matt Ridley) takes the reader a century back when the United States passed a law prohibiting alcoholic drinks. In the author’s assessment, the prohibition failed to achieve its desired results. Instead, it pushed the alcohol manufacturing industry into an unstructured system where unsafe products manufactured tax-free using violent methods that resulted in higher profit margins for the dealers. I agree with the author when he concludes that countries stand to gain by regulating, legalizing, and imposing a tax on alcoholic drinks as opposed to banning them. Electronic cigarettes use (Vaping) According to the author, e-cigarettes are banned, or their usage is limited in several countries. A study by Pepper et al. (2015) established that the proponents of e-cigarettes argue that nicotine has mild effects on the users as compared to the other chemicals that emanate from combustion during smoking. Majority of the users of these cigarettes do so in the hope of quitting smoking. However, I disagree with this view based on the fact that smoking…
Culture Identify any two sociological concepts per chapter — one from the first part of the chapter, one from the second part of the chapter The two sociological concepts identified include Functionalism and feminism. Functionalism: describes the doctrine that enshrines what makes something a desire, thought, or based not on the internal constitution, although singly on its function or the particular role played especially on the cognitive system. The functionalism concept includes aspects such as norms and values. Norms explain the expected or typical behavior patterns linked to societies, social roles, or specific contexts. On the contrast, values include the primary and lasting beliefs and ideas concerning what is desired and not desired. Society and culture are, in most cases, applied interchangeably, as they possess distinct meanings. Culture is explained as the shared beliefs and behaviors of individuals, whereas a society includes a group of persons who share a culture and community. The experience we have on cultural differences is impacted by our xenocentrism and ethnocentrism. Cultural universals include traits or patterns that internationally common across all societies. The…
