Answer the questions after read the paragraph 

An understanding of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critically important component of disease and disorder diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the impact that that these two systems can have on each other. A variety of factors and circumstances affecting the emergence and severity of issues in one system can also have a role in the performance of the other.

Effective analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their mutual impact. For example, patient characteristics such as racial and ethnic variables can play a role.

An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in neurological and musculoskeletal systems is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment. For APRNs this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.

In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.

To prepare:

You will be assigned to a specific case study scenario for this Case Study Assignment.

Assignment (2-page case study analysis)

In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:

· Both the neurological and musculoskeletal pathophysiologic processes that would account for the patient presenting these symptoms.

· Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.

· How these processes interact to affect the patient?

Case Study:

A 58-year-old obese white male presents to ED with a chief complaint of fever, chills, pain, and swelling in the right great toe. He states the symptoms came on very suddenly and he cannot put any weight on his foot. Physical exam reveals exquisite pain on any attempt to assess the right first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint. Past medical history positive for hypertension and Type II diabetes mellitus. Current medications include hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg PO q am, and metformin 500 mg po bid. CBC normal except for elevated sedimentation rate (ESR) of 33 mm/hr and C-reactive protein (CRP) 24 mg/L. Metabolic panel normal. Uric acid level 6.7 mg/dl.

Texas has a law that prohibits the removal of mechanical life-support such as a ventilator from a pregnant patient.

In November 2013, when Marlise Munoz was 14 weeks pregnant she was found unconscious in her Texas home.  With her husband and family in deep distress, they rushed her to a hospital where she was placed on a machine to keep her alive.  Soon thereafter, doctors at the hospital pronounced her brain dead.  Her husband and family eventually asked that she be removed from life support but Texas law prohibits removing a pregnant woman from life support if it threatens the life of the fetus.  A Texas Judge has now ordered that the 22 week pregnant woman removed from life support, as requested by the family.  For background, click here: LINK (Links to an external site.). https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/24/health/pregnant-brain-dead-woman-texas/

For our week 4 discussion, answer the two following questions:

[1] From a utilitarian moral perspective of the greatest good of the greatest number and also the utilitarian evaluative criteria of happiness versus suffering, explain the rightness or wrongness of a law that prohibits the removal of a pregnant woman from life support.  Also discuss the sad case of Marlise Munoz with someone else for how that person feels about it and what moral concerns s/he has about this particular case.  Do you think that the husband of Marlise Munoz should only be granted his request to remove his wife because he has concerns about indications of severe abnormalities in the developing fetus but not if the fetus were perfectly normal?  Explain.

[2] In terms utilitarian ethics, discuss the moral issues at stake in the famous so-called Trolley Problem as related in the eText and also Michael Sandel’s Harvard lecture (LINK (Links to an external 

site.)),  https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/24/health/pregnant-brain-dead-woman-texas/

where “you are beside a train track with a train headed down the track. However, on the track ahead are five people who will all be killed if the train continues. But you also have access to a switch, and if you pull it the train will be diverted onto another track where there is only one person” (eText p.36).  Do you think that this type of moral choice between the lesser of evils as in this Trolley Problem is realistic to what we might face in our everyday lives or places of employment?  Do you think there is such a thing as a moral duty to choose between the lesser of evils?  Why or why not?  Can you give an example to support your point?

I need a Turnitin Report

SELECT ONLY ONE FILM

Read chapter 3, and watch the films “Gone Baby Gone” and “Sleepers”. Pick one movie and apply Kant’s moral philosophy to judge the MAIN FINAL action.

** For “Gone Baby Gone” judge Patrick’s final decision 

 ** For “Sleepers” judge the priest’s final decision. 

Judging any other action in the movie is an automatic zero.

500 words minimum in MLA format. 

*You must apply Kant’s 3 premises and Michael Sandel’s 3 contrasts 

  

Kant’s Three Premises

Kant’s Categorical Imperative

Nature of the concept

The concept of the categorical imperative is a syllogism

1.The first premise is that a person acts morally if his or her conduct would, without condition, be the “right” conduct for any person in similar circumstances (the “First Maxim”).

2.The second premise is that conduct is “right” if it treats others as ends in themselves and not as means to an end (the “Second Maxim”).

3.The conclusion is that a person acts morally when he or she acts as if his or her conduct was establishing a universal law governing others in similar circumstances (the “Third Maxim”).

Kant’s Three Premises Explained

In the case of ” Gone Baby Gone” the philosophical process you will follow in this paper should sound as something like this:

According to Kant’s first premise Patrick behaved moral because he returned the victim he was hired to find and without condition this is the “right” conduct for any detective in cases of kidnapping (the “First Maxim”). Here Kant speaks of doing the right prior to good.

2. On Kant’s second premise Patrick acted moral because he respected the dignity of Amanda and he treated her as an end in herself and not as means to an end like everyone else was doing in the film (the “Second Maxim”). Here Kant speaks of humans as special creatures and ends in themselves. Humans are ends, not means to an end. Los seres humanos son un fin, no un medio para un fin.

3. The conclusion is that a detective act morally when he reports a kidnapping to the police and this behavior should establish a universal law governing all detectives in cases of kidnapping (the “Third Maxim”). Here Kant asks us to test the universality of our action. Will it be OK if everyone does what I am about to do?

  VIDEO Michael Sandel’s 3 contrasts

Three contrasts:

** Morality { the motive of duty}

**Freedom {Determination of will}

** Reason {imperatives}
