Amy Chemotherapy Case Summary
Lindsey,
Amy‘s response concerning her unfavorable treatment shows that she is in emotional distress. Having undergone different treatment plans without any benefit can also affect her psychologically. You made a great point that she will need to undergo spiritual counselling because she is too young. In addition, chemotherapy has huge adverse effect and I wonder how she has been reacting to some of these adverse effects. The medical team will need to approach her case with a holistic view to prevent further harm and promote Amy’s quality of life. Furthermore, they may look into palliative care since cure is not feasible.

    Pharmagen Case Summary

    In this situation I would argue that ASC 730-20 is applicable. Pharmagen is entering into an agreement with PEI (investors) on a contractual basis to provide services and an option to acquire the results of the R&D (FASB 68). Pharmagen retains all ownership rights to the development of X. It also states that in R&D arrangements the entity (in this case Pharmagen) usually has an option to either purchase the partnership’s interest (PEI) or to obtain the exclusive rights to the entire results in return for a lump sum payment or royalty payments to the partnership (in this case PEI). This clearly fits into Pharmagen’s case since PEI is entitled to receive future royalties from Pharmagen in return for contributions (funds) for the development of X.…

    Analysis: A Little Girl Died Because Canada Chose Cultural Sensitivity Over Western Medicine

    “A Little Girl Died Because Canada Chose Cultural Sensitivity Over Western Medicine” by Jerry A. Coyne, 1/21/2015, this article explains how a 11-year old girl named Makayla Sault died from acute lymphoblastic leukemia after suffering from a stroke the previous day. Makayla could no longer deal with the pain and suffering of the side effects of chemotherapy treatment so her parents decided to no longer proceed with the chemotherapy treatment. The decision was based on her family cultural and religious beliefs. Alternative Medicine is not new to the medical community; however, the doctors argued that if the little girl would have proceeded with chemotherapy and standard treatment, she had at least a 75 percent chance of survival. Alternative medicine verses modern medicine is one of the most controversial topics because of the argument that many deaths could have been prevented just like the one in this story.…

    Ertha Case Study

    She says multiples times she takes her medicine and her vitamins, I wonder if she should still be doing this herself. She could accidently forget to take them or she could take them more than once. She may become depressed about moving from her home and her health decline. She already is having memory problems and now she is living in a new environment that she must become familiar with. She is gets upset when talking about how her husband and the doctor where talking about her. Lord, Livingston, Robertson, and Cooper, (2016) feel one might feel resentment for being left out of decisions. She may become less and less social because it overwhelms her. She also has moods swings that may become worse as she declines cognitively. I also worry about Henry and how Ertha states they have arguments. He could learn new ways to cope with the stress. Huis in het Veld et al. (2016) explained that family members should try to adapt to moods of persons with dementia and remain calm. Also, family members should allow time for themselves, take to someone about what they are going thru, and make sure they are getting enough rest (Huis in Het Veld et al.,…

My mentor and I were looking after Ann on the day concerned, her observations were within the normal limits but she continued to complain of shortness of breath.

Ann said to the nurse ” I can’t breathe” and seemed even more anxious and scared, she repeated several times that she could not breathe and each…

    The nurses and attending physicians have approached Barney on the numerous occasions to raise the question about stopping aggressive curative treatment and moving toward palliative care. Barney has always insisted that he sees more potential Almeda’s condition. When asked what the right goal for Almeda ought to be, he answered, “It would be good if she could sit up and watch a little television.” Almeda’s renal function has now become seriously impaired and requires renal dialysis.
