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.

Create a scenario that reflects the Will stage of Erikson's eight psychosocial stages of development.
natulia [17]

A two (2) year old boy that is highly motivated and focused on learning how to ride his bicycle.

<h3>Erikson's psychosocial stages of development.</h3>

Erik Erikson stated in his work on psychosocial development that human personality typically develops in a pre-determined order known as the eight (8) stages of psychosocial development, from infancy to adulthood.

<h3>The eight stages of psychosocial development.</h3>

According to Erikson, the eight (8) stages of psychosocial development, from infancy to adulthood include the following:

  1. Trust versus Mistrust.
  2. Autonomy versus Shame and doubt.
  3. Initiative versus Guilt.
  4. Industry versus Inferiority.
  5. Identity versus Confusion.
  6. Intimacy versus Isolation.
  7. Generativity versus Stagnation.
  8. Integrity versus Despair.

The will stage of psychosocial development generally occurs between the ages of 1 year (18 months) to approximately 3 years. For example, a two (2) year old boy that is highly motivated and focused on learning how to ride his bicycle while developing a sense of personal control to be successful at it.

A client is diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. which finding in the urinalysis report supports the diagnosis?
leva [86]

A client is diagnosed with pheochromocytoma. The finding in the urinalysis report supports the diagnosis by Total catecholamines - 640 mmol/24 hr.

How Pheochromocytoma Is Diagnosed?

Rarely, the little glands on top of the kidneys known as the adrenal glands will develop a tumor known as a pheochromocytoma. These tumors may be malignant or benign (noncancerous) (cancerous).

Catecholamines, the hormones that regulate our ability to fight or flee, are frequently overproduced by pheochromocytomas, which results in symptoms including elevated blood pressure, headaches, anxiety, and a sense of impending doom.

A blood or urine test to identify elevated levels of the hormones that these tumors emit is typically the first step in making a diagnosis if suspicious symptoms are noticed or if a person has a family history of a genetic condition associated with this type of tumor. Additional tests and imaging examinations can also be required.

Does smokeless tobacco generally cause more harm to your digestive system or your respiratory system?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Digestive system

Explanation:

Cigarettes that are smoked cause respiratory infections such as lung cancer, but chewing tobacco would cause more damage to the digestive system. There's a chance you might swallow it and when you chew it the juices/tobacco go down your throat into your stomach.
