during a lingering illness. However, if the patient does not desire to use these medications due to not wanting to become “addicted”, feeling “out of it” or for other reasons, the nurse needs to respect the patient’s decision. It is the nurse’s duty to make sure the patient has been accurately informed of treatment options including side effects, common misperceptions, etc. but to not sway the patient’s decisions for treatment based on his/her own beliefs. A nurse may personally feel that a patient who is dying of cancer should utilize any and all pain management options available to them, however, if the patient does not wish to use pain medications because he/she feels “out of it” or is afraid of becoming “addicted”, the nurse needs to respect that patient’s choice.
Anything done or any decision made on behalf of a person who lacks capacity must be done in their best interests. Anything done for or on behalf of a person who lacks capacity should be the least restrictive of their basic rights and freedoms. Mental Capacity Act Code of Practice The Code of Practice supports the MCA and provides guidance to all those who care for and/or make decisions on behalf of adults who lack capacity.

For example information should not be given out to anyone who isn’t involved. Staff must get the consent of anyone’s information they need to share.

What are advance care directives? Advance directives are the plans that a patient makes for his or her future health care decisions in the event that he or she cannot make those decisions independently. Advance directives can be oral or in writing. Patients should be strongly encouraged to put their wishes in writing, this makes it easier for health practitioners who don’t know the patient to act according to their wishes.
Schneier shows this to prove that doing nothing can lead to trouble with blackmail or abuse with surveillance information. Schneier says that “that privacy protects us from abuses by those in power, even if we’re doing nothing wrong at the time of surveillance” (paragraph 5). This is a strong point of his argument because he wants the people to know that the government can find a way to change nothing into something. The only flaw of Schneier’s argument is that his facts are repeated and this doesn’t help because without more facts there isn’t any proof to show that the people of privacy don’t need to have constant surveillance. Now if we look to the other side we can find many aspects of what Cillizza has to say about security.
CLRI Question 1 “In practice the doctrine of precedent does not constrain judicial decision-making; activist judges can always creatively interpret previous cases to reach the outcome they desire.” Discuss. Introduction Common law tradition requires a particular approach to the discovery, interpretation and development of law. Judges therefore play an important and central role in common law. Although the declaratory theory is that judges do not make new law, It is inevitable that activist judges sometimes creatively interpret previous cases to reach the outcome they think to be more reasonable. To say that activist judges “always” do that so as to make the outcome they “desire” would not be very accurate and in fact unfair to the judges.
The husband wanted to save his wife, but on the other hand, their children belief that their mom wants a quality of life with dignity. When a nurses engaged such a complex ethical situation, the Ethical Committee resources included multidisciplinary groups that are needed to assist patient and family. Based on statutory law, patients have the right to make a decision to withdraw or withhold any treatment (Blais & Hayes, 2011). In the case study of Marianne, the patient do not have advanced directive on file, therefore, the statutory laws are not against family's decision related to her care. The nurse can only educate and provide information and be the patients' advocate.
The patient’s information should only be disclosed where necessary, such as if there is reason to believe they are at risk of harm or somebody else in their care is at risk and then only should it be disclosed to the suitable professional. Each individual has right to confidentiality. ‘Collaborate with those in your care’ communication is a key point in listening and responding to the person’s requirements, preferences and concerns. Also ensuring they can maintain their heath and care for themselves. ‘Consent’ each person has rights to agree to or decline so confirming consent is important to initiate care and treatment.
When a patient or doctor gives a medical assistant information, the medical assistant should repeat it back to them to make sure that the information they have is correct. A medical assistant would not want to get the patients information incorrect and messed up. Miscommunication and poor listening skills can jeopardize the health and well-being of a patient. As I stated before about getting the patients information incorrect, could have them misdiagnosed. That could be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
