Jeremy, Lucy’s Famous Chocolate Scene was great to watch again. Berlinger (2015) stated that this is a good illustration of how people make rapid judgments in response to changing conditions at work, devising workarounds – shortcuts, fixes, patches – to bridge the gap between the rules of work and what’s actually happening. I have had to think about your questions regarding any scenarios in which you felt the patient was coerced by a medical provider in which his or her autonomy taken away? Or provide an example of a physician or healthcare team member causing an ethical dilemma for a nurse? Or examples of nursing shortcuts that can/have cause(d) patient harm? I had to think hard on this one.…

“ I wear the chain I forged in life…I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on my own free will and of my own free will I wore it” (Dickens 10). This statement made by Marley from “A Christmas Carol” not only embodies that of the story it hails from, but also another prominent Christmas classic titled “It’s A Wonderful Life”. Additionally both stories share similarities that only a senseless man could miss. But behind the mutual correlation between theses two literary plots, the storylines of the pre mentioned scripts do go in two diverse directions. Given these points, the characters and themes of these anecdotes are very comparable in more than one way while being very divergent…

But, comparing to the movie “The Lion King” there are many ways that they are the same and many ways that they are different.

The second ghost was “the ghost of christmas present”. “It was clothed in one simple green robe, or mantle, bordered with white fur. This garment hung so loosely on the figure, that its captious breast was bare, as if disdaining to be warded or concealed by any article”(Dickens,…

These similarities and differences of overwhelming personal adversity in Animal Farm by George Orwell and The Giver by Lois Lowry will be discussed.
