Gabor states “No drugs, in itself, are addictive.” This means that it is not the drug that causes the addiction, it is why the people are doing the drugs in the first place, and the way it makes them feel. If people grow up in an abusive household and have never experienced a “warm, soft hug”(305), they turn to drugs because it will give them that feeling. Although some may agree with Mate’s argument, the ways in which he gives his evidence and examples lacks all the necessary information needed in order to make a decision on whether you agree or disagree with his argument. In paragraph four Mate uses a scientific example saying, “Only about 8 per cent to 15 per cent of people who try, say alcohol or marijuana, go on to addictive use.” (305) While this statistic may be true, it is difficult to report on how many of those people of that eight to fifteen per cent are using it because they simply have an addictive personality. For Mate to say that all addictive drug use is caused from neglect issues is not accurate because he does not account for the people who do drugs because they want to.
RN Brewer is putting the lives of the patients in jeopardy and the facility in jeopardy. A major ethical principal that the RN is not promoting is NONMALEFICENCE : duty to do no harm, being intoxicated the RN is not fully aware of what he/she is doing he/she can administrate the wrong medicine to the wrong patient or not be able to react efficiently. At the same time if the LPN does not report this he/she would also be in-compliance with this. As per the NFLPN under STANDARD legal/ethical status, states: 4. Shall take responsible actions in situations where in there is unprofessional conduct by a peer or other health care provider.
Unlike medications, supplement Dietary Supplements 3 makers do not have to prove their products are safe or effective. The FDA, however, can force a supplement from the market if it proves it is unsafe (nutrition.about.com, n.d.). Dietary supplements can be good for the body if there are substances lacking in the body. If a person has diseases, supplements can help control them. It is best to consult a doctor before taking supplements because they can interact with medications, causing bad reactions.
Personal Statement: I liked the tables in the book that showed whether or not the herbs/ natural medicine were shown to have a good effect on what they were supposed to. It was interesting to see how many things were thought to help some illness but really did nothing
Royte’s excerpt makes many views of the effects of tap water and the different types of problems associated with drinking it. In many areas, they say it is okay to drink the tap water but there are a few instances where the water needs to be filtered. She explains the different types of bacteria’s in tap water around the United States but she does tell how the bottled water companies do not answer to the public and how they are being untruthful about their purification of water. Although she believes they are untruthful, she provides little evidence of that. She is being quite vague about her conclusion that water bottles are not the best source of water.
If they have a condition that requires medication, that's an ideal time to switch to medications that have less risk, if necessary. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some are more cosmetic than dangerous, such as an extra toe, but others are serious and include heart defects and spina bifida. I will never be impressed by bling again. The Crown Jewels are the ultimate bling.
Doctors who lack proper training or those who have impairment problems tend to believe that their patients are honest about issues concerning prescriptions. These may include certain issues such as losing prescriptions, or early refills. This, however, only happens when the doctor fails to identify a drug abuse problem in the patient. Another ethical dilemma in the same field occurs when doctors do not disclose full patient history in the medical file of the patient. This may cause other doctors to prescribe the wrong drug thus putting the life of the patient at risk, either due to possible
Will there be physicians who feel they can't do this? Of course, and they shouldn't be obliged to. But if other physicians consider it merciful to help such patients by merely writing a prescription, it is unreasonable to place them in jeopardy of criminal prosecution, loss of license, or other penalty for doing
If there was sanitary water many diseases and infections could be prevented. Filtered and clean water is something that we take for granted in the United States; therefore we do not realize how critical it is to our well-being. The third thing that I found important in the video was availability of medicine in some countries. Many
The author cites the following statement as measures that can curtail such injuries, “Safer work practices include such measures as, not re capping needles unless no other alternative exists; properly dispensing of used needles in puncture-resistant sharps containers, and consolidating specimen containers from patients. We did not find any valid estimates of the costs of using safer work practices, so we have not estimated the potential costs and benefits of adopting them”
