This all happened as the family were\u00a0alerted to the emergency and were making travel arrangements as they were all from out-of-town.\n<p>Unfortunately, the outcome of the surgery was that she became ventilator-dependent paralyzed from the neck down and needing 24-hour care.\u00a0 Once the family was in the hospital, they held a family conference agreeing that Ms. B would not want to continue on in this state, and they petitioned the hospital to remove her from the ventilator. The hospital refused still believing the potential\u00a0for legal ramifications.\u00a0 The family was distraught; but\u00a0eventually, with the guidance of a lawyer they retained, they were able to have her transferred to another facility (Hospital #2) that was willing to take her off the ventilator knowing that the chances of her making it were slim.\u00a0 The felt that they were honoring her wishes along with her families\u2019 wishes.<br \/>\nA day\u00a0later Ms. B was taken off the ventilator and she expired within the hour.\u00a0 The family felt like they had done the right thing and they retained the lawyer to sue the initial hospital stating that they had not honored the wishes of their loved ones.\u00a0 In the trial, the hospital claimed that there was not enough evidence that Ms. B wished to not be placed on machines as the family claimed, even though it was witnessed by a nurse that the anesthesiologist for the care engaged her in a conversation about this very topic before her aneurysm burst.\u00a0 The hospital maintained that without\u00a0documentation\u00a0to that claim, they could not honor her wishes.<\/p>\n<p>In a surprising turn of events, the family filed suit in the Court of Appeals and won.\u00a0 The appellate court agreed with the family stating that any conversation, whether it be personal or professional could be used to reach a conclusion about one\u2019s desire about the nature\u00a0of their own death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Read the Ms. B\u2019s case study above.<\/li>\n<li>Answer the following questions:\n<ol>\n<li>Do you agree with the original court or the court of appeals?\u00a0 Why?<\/li>\n<li>What kind of ethical theories was hospital #1 acting upon (beneficence, malfeasance, etc.)?<\/li>\n<li>What kind of ethical theories was hospital #2 acting upon (beneficence, malfeasance, etc.)?<\/li>\n<li>How did the family act in this ethical realm?<\/li>\n<li>Did you find that the result of this case\u00a0was fair to Mrs. B and her family?<\/li>\n<li>Why is it so important that one put in writing their exact wishes to the nature of their death and how they envision it should be?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>Your paper should be:\n<ul>\n<li>One (1) page or more.<\/li>\n<li>Use factual information from the textbook and\/or appropriate articles and websites.<\/li>\n<li>Cite your sources \u2013 type references according to the APA Style Guide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Upload your file by clicking \u201c<strong>Browse My Computer<\/strong>\u201d for Attach File.<\/li>\n<li>View rubric for grading.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Need help with Blackboard Learn?<\/strong><\/em>Review the How to Submit An Assignment tutorial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign\u2122 services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution\u2019s policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ms. B was told that she had a brain aneurysm.\u00a0 She made an advance statement of wishes saying that she did not want surgery if the aneurysm burst.\u00a0 However, shortly after she made this statement\u00a0of wishes, the aneurysm burst and a team of surgeons took her to surgery believing that if not treated with surgery&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.0 -
