- A visiting nurse is performing a family assessment of ayoung couple caring for their newborn who was diagnosedwith cerebral palsy. The nurse notes that the mother’s hairand clothing are unkempt, the house is untidy, and themother states that she is “so busy with the baby that I don’thave time to do anything else.” What would be the priorityintervention for this family?a. Arrange to have the infant removed from the home.b. Inform other members of the family of the situation. c. Increase the number of visits by the visiting nurse.d. Notify the care provider and recommend respite care forthe mother.arrow_forwardCase: Charlie's parents were eager to transfer him to the U.S. for experimental treatment, but the baby's physicians believed his brain damage was too severe and irreversible by the time the treatment was an option, according to BBC news reports. When doctors recommended withdrawing life support, Charlie's parents disagreed. After a legal battle, British judges agreed with the physicians and life-sustaining medical treatment was discontinued. Charlie Gard died in July at the age of 11 months. The story highlighted the tension nurses experience as they care for terminally ill children during an era when technology has made it possible to save patients who would have died in the past. Questions: II. Value deliberation (Identify the moral problems? What values at stake?) II. Duty deliberation (Reflecting on the most challenging cases) IV. Conclusionarrow_forward] Mr. X, aged 85, was recently diagnosed with a particular type of brain tumor and was referred to Dr. Y, chief of surgery at the nearby university hospital, for further evaluation. This type of tumor is benign in 60% of cases and is malignant in the other 40% of cases. Mr. X’s remaining lifetime will depend on the type of tumor (benign or malignant) and on the decision whether or not to remove the tumor. The table below shows the estimates of Mr. X’s remaining lifetime according to the most up-to-date information known about this type of tumor. Tumor Leave tumor Remove tumor Benign 8 5 Malignant 1 5 Dr. Y could perform exploratory surgery before deciding whether or not to remove the tumor to assess the status of the tumor better. Exploratory surgery indicates a benign tumor 75% of the time if the tumor is indeed benign. The surgery is known to indicate a malignant tumor 65% of the time if the tumor is indeed malignant. Exploratory surgery itself is dangerous: there is a 5% chance…arrow_forward
