Category: Health Medical Homework Help

I’m studying for my Population Health class and need an explanation.

Marlise Muñoz, a married mother of one, was found unconscious by her husband due to a blood clot in her lung. After being rushed to the hospital, she was declared brain-dead and discovered to have been 14 weeks pregnant. The family viewed her as having died, since she was brain-dead, and demanded that she be removed from life support. State law prohibited the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a pregnant woman, so the hospital refused the family’s request, insisting that Marlise remain on life support for 4 months until the fetus had some possibility of surviving outside the womb. Over the course of the ensuing months, the unborn fetus was determined to be nonviable due to hydrocephalus, a possible heart problem, and structural defects in the extremities. Nonetheless, the hospital persisted in its refusal until the family successfully obtained a court order requiring the hospital to remove Marlise from mechanical ventilation. Note: This is based upon a real case that received national attention. Please feel free to research this specific case and cite credible newspapers (i.e., not blogs) and scholarly or professional journal articles that discuss this case.

Question 1: How would you defend the hospital’s decision to keep Marlise on a ventilator in this scenario on the basis of autonomy?

Question 2: How could the ethical principle of autonomy be used to critique the hospital’s decision to keep Marlise on a ventilator in this scenario?

Can you help me understand this Population Health question?

Three months ago, a 14-year-old girl was hit by a truck while riding her bike and suffered severe head trauma. She remains comatose and on a mechanical ventilator and is receiving tube feedings and hydration. She is unresponsive to sharp and intense pain, and the neurologist does not expect her to recover from her coma. She has developed pneumonia, and given her poor prognosis, the neurologist does not recommend treating the pneumonia but instead recommends discontinuing treatment. Her mother has accepted the child’s pending death and would like to withdraw treatment. Her father believes the child’s life is in God’s hands and wants to continue treatment.

Question 1: Describe the theological argument against suicide and apply it to support continued treatment in this case.

Question 2: Are the surrogate decision-makers acting in their own or the patient’s best interest in this case? Explain the related ethical principles in your response.

The attached file with the title of the answer belongs to my friend, but I want to solve the assignment, like the method of the attached file with the title of the answer, but I want the solution to be in a different format and without any percentage of similarity, because in case of similarity, the doctor will record zero for me Please follow the conditions mentioned.

The students may use the following sample questions whichever applicable as basic guidelines for critiquing a journal article in health sciences:

Ten questions to ask when critically appraising a research article:

2. Does the study add anything new?

3. What type of research question is being asked?

4. Was the study design appropriate for the research question?

5. Did the study methods address the most important potential sources of bias?

6. Was the study performed according to the original protocol?

7. Does the study test a stated hypothesis?

8. Were the statistical analyses performed correctly?

9. Do the data justify the conclusions?

Scenario 1:

An ethics consultation is sought when a healthy 30-year-old man volunteers to donate a kidney to a woman he met on the Internet. In the course of taking the history, it comes out that the potential donor concealed his criminal history from transplant center, has misused funds from the National Living Donor Assistance Center, and has also asked the potential recipient for money. The potential donor defends his behavior by claiming that since he is uninsured, he needs the additional cash to cover his medical expenses. The woman is desperate for a kidney and begs her doctor to approve this transplant.

Question 1: Using the ethics of distribution along with any other ethical principle of your choosing, defend a decision for proceeding with the transplant in this scenario.

Scenario 2:

A 65-year-old woman with diabetes has been on dialysis for 2 years and has just been placed on the kidney transplant waiting list. There are no potential living donors. She has had recurrent problems with dialysis access and is dismayed to find out that she may have to wait several years for a transplant. She fails to come to dialysis for a period of 4 weeks and then calls to say that she will need outpatient follow-up for her new kidney transplant. She admits that the transplant was carried out in another country where victimization of organ donors is widely believed to occur.

Question 2: Make an ethical argument against the hospital continuing to care for this patient.
