The world of nursing has many ethical issues. One of these close to me is palliative care. The type of care given to a patient and their family during the final days of ones life. Many registered nurses (RN) seem to not think about what if they or their loved one was the patient. Many nurses when caring for a patient that seems to be in a vegatative state do not speak to the patient. They may talk to someone in the room helping them but not the patient. I had the experience of caring for a patient that i had been given report "the patient is nonresponsive, alert and oriented X1 and nonverbal" The patient was to be transported and ...

"Yeah, I'm on Prozac," I hear quite often, said as if the speaker had just received a new Porsche. I often do catch myself responding with, "I'm on Zoloft isn't modern medicine great?"

We know enough about how the infection is transmitted to protect ourselves from it without resorting to such extremes as mandatory testing, enforced quarantine or total celibacy. But too few people are heeding the AIDS message. Perhaps many simply don't like or want to believe what they hear, preferring to think that AIDS "can't happen to them." Ex...

The liver is the largest organ of the body and weighs about three to four pounds. The lower ribs protect the liver that is on the right side of the abdomen.

In the desire to uphold the sanctity and quality of life, and the dignity of each individual, it is important to respect and regard each person's own moral values and inclinations. Both abortion and euthanasia are issues of high significance as well as controversy, and it is quite apparent that people will view both issues within their own context...
My impression is that the idea of euthanasia, if not the practice, is gradually gaining acceptance within our society. People like Jack Kevorkian attribute this to an increasing inclination to devalue human life, but I do not believe that this is the major factor. The acceptance of euthanasia is much more likely to be the result of unthinking sym...
Dating way back in history, almost all health care was done at home. In the early, 19th century, the doctor made house calls with everything he needed in his black bag. Other than the doctor's occasional visits, usually female family members cared for the patient. In the early 20th century, not only did the nation grow in technology, but the medi...

What would it be like to die so young and so fragile? What would it be like to kill something so young and so fragile? Abortion, in my definition, is the taking of a life. Now it is hard for me to sit here and type this paper when I know good and well that if my daughter or wife were ever raped I would want whatever was inside of them out -- imm...
