In your lessons for this week, the cardiovascular system is covered. As you have learned, smoking has definite effects on the ca

rdiovascular system. Consider the scenario below and then answer the questions. A patient, who has a long-standing history of smoking, is on the recipient list for new lung. Due to complications in his/her condition, a request is made for this patient to be moved to the "top of the list" and receive the first available lung. Given this patient's history, what do you think should be the appropriate action? Justify ypur answer. If not, what action would you take?

This is really a subjective answer. If given the choice to either give the lung to a six-year old lung cancer patient or the heavy smoker, I would choose the six-year old.

If I had to choose between car crash victim on a lung machine or the heavy smoker, I would choose the car crash victim.

If I had to choose between this heavy smoker and a young smoker that developed lung cancer, I would choose the young smoker and hope that he/she would change his/her habits and quit.

I bet you're starting to see the point I'm making. Hope this helps!

Why is it importance to increase the number of minorities in the health professions?​
umka21 [38]

Answer:

High rates of illness among the population and poor access to health care don’t just burden society, they also drive economic costs higher. A major contributor to the rise is the gap in health status known to exist between ethnic minorities and other groups, health researchers say.

One way to help reduce inequities in health and save health care dollars is to increase the proportion of ethnic minorities in the health professions workforce, and, in so doing, provide more culturally sensitive care, said Louis Sullivan, M.D., a former secretary of the U.S. Department Health and Human Services. Sullivan gave the keynote address at the Diversity Dialogue and Student Symposium on Health Professions held recently at the University of Florida Health Science Center.

The U.S. spends trillions on health care each year, reaching $2.5 trillion in 2009, according to an analysis in the public policy journal Health Affairs. A large fraction of that is attributable to health inequities, experts say. For example, from 2003 to 2006, health inequities accounted for $1 trillion in indirect costs associated with illness and premature deaths, according to a study commissioned by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies.
