Identify the use of legal documents Last week, a 26-year-old, 36-week pregnant female showed up at the ER. As she was walking in

to the building alone, she grabbed her head and fell to the ground. Staff rushed her to the ER where it was discovered that she had accelerated hypertension of 225/140. She suffered a seizure, lapsing into a coma, and severe stroke was diagnosed. Vital signs were not able to be stabilized and the decision was made to perform an emergency c-section to save the baby. Shortly after the surgery, the woman died as a result of the stroke. Staff had been unable to contact a family member as the woman did not have a purse, wallet, or phone on her person when she came in. 1. What type(s) of consent can be applied to this scenario? 2. How might the lack of consent(s) obtained in this scenario impact the physician and/or organization?

Answer/Explanation:

(1) The type of consent to be applied in this scenario is IMPLIED CONSENT because the pregnant female did not directly express consent to the surgery but here it was implied, that is, the surgery was done adjudged by her situation and assumed that if she was conscious, she would directly consent to the surgery to save the child.

(2) The physician must explain the significant risks of a procedure or medication before the patient can give a binding consent. If a practitioner does not explain a material risk that subsequently eventuates, then that is considered negligent BUT in this case the physician will not be criminally charged because the patient was not conscious to have given a CONSENT and the surgery was done to save a life and also the reputation of the organization will be unblemished.

Answer:

1) Implied consent

2) There is no effect of the consent on the physician/organisation because the patient was unconscious.

Explanation:

1) The type of consent that can be applied to this scenario is called implied consent.

2) In such an emergency situation the consent of an unconscious patient or a patient that is unable to communicate presumed to give his/her consent if they were able to. Since the patient came into the ER it would be assumed that she came to the hospital for treatment and would have given her consent if she was conscious. I don’t think that any consequences for such an action. The Doctor only carried out the procedure due to the fact that it was a life or death situation for both the mother and the baby.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The disease of poverty and lifestyle,Well-Being and Human Development

Explanation:

Diseases of Poverty, Lifestyle Diseases, Optimism Deprivation, Capability Deprivation, Well-Being, Longevity, Professional Burnout, Psychosomatic Ailments, Human Development, Faulty Lifestyle, Lifestyle Stress, Health Promoting Behaviours, Negative Emotions, Positive Health, The Simplicity Movement

The problems of the haves differ substantially from those of the have-nots. Individuals in developing societies have to fight mainly against infectious and communicable diseases, while in the developed world the battles are mainly against lifestyle diseases. Yet, at a very fundamental level, the problems are the same-the fight is against distress, disability, ; against human exploitation and for human development and self-actualisation; against the callousness to critical concerns in regimes and scientific power centres.

While there has been great progress in the treatment of individual diseases, human pathology continues to increase. Sicknesses are not decreasing in number, they are only changing in type.

The primary diseases of poverty like TB, malaria, and HIV/AIDS-and the often co-morbid and ubiquitous malnutrition-take their toll on helpless populations in developing countries. Poverty is not just income deprivation but capability deprivation and optimism deprivation as well.

While life expectancy may have increased in the haves, and infant and maternal mortality reduced, these gains have not necessarily ensured that well-being results. There are ever-multiplying numbers of individuals whose well-being is compromised due to lifestyle diseases. These diseases are the result of faulty lifestyles and the consequent crippling stress. But it serves no one's purpose to understand them as such. So, the prescription pad continues to prevail over lifestyle-change counselling or research.

The struggle to achieve well-being and positive health, to ensure longevity, to combat lifestyle stress and professional burnout, and to reduce psychosomatic ailments continues unabated, with hardly an end in sight.

We thus realise that morbidity, disability, and mortality assail all three societies: the ones with infectious diseases, the ones with diseases of poverty, and the ones with lifestyle diseases. If it is bacteria in their various forms that are the culprit in infectious diseases, it is poverty/deprivation in its various manifestations that is the culprit in poverty-related diseases, and it is lifestyle stress in its various avatars that is the culprit in lifestyle diseases. It is as though poverty and lifestyle stress have become the modern “bacteria” of developing and developed societies, respectively.
