Document Summary

He heard the loud impact before he ever saw the result. It had been so loud that it had actually made him jump back in his seat. As soon as he recovered from the surprise, he saw the crack in the windshield. It seemed to be an analogy of the current condition of his life: it wasn"t quite yet time to panic. There was still time to salvage the situation. At least that is what she was telling himself. The reality was that it was time to panic and there wasn"t time to salvage the situation, but he continued to delude himself into believing there was: it was a weird concept. All these questions were running through her head as she pressed the generate button. To her surprise, she found what she least expected to see: he stepped away from the mic. This was the best take he had done so far, but something seemed missing.

I originally had planned to ask about whether there was anybiological truth in the popular phrase "shivering with fright".However, after doing a fair bit of googling it seems that there isa lot more medical reference to trembling as aresult of anxiety (1) (though I would imagine the distinction to befairly minor).

I was, after about an hour of fruitless searching, beginning towonder if it was a phenomenon created only in literature (such asbeing 'frozen by fright') rather than genuine human physiology,however then a website described how many people often have minortrembling before exams, interviews or other high pressuresituations - something I can attest to myself!

This hasn't really changed the biological purpose behind thequestion however - is there any advantage to shivering in a fightor flight situation or is it more a side effect of the release ofadrenaline or another chemical response? I am struggling because Ican only imagine it being a real disadvantage (consider for examplean organism hiding from a predator - uncontrolled movement in astressed situation can not be beneficial) so the only way that Ican see is that the shivering must be linked to something thatis a definite advantage in a high stresssituation. What would that be?

An RN working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is caring for a patient with an acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage related to liver failure that resulted from alcoholic cirrhosis. During hand-off report at the end of the shift, the outgoing RN states to the incoming RN, “I have been in that room all day, transfusing blood products and giving medications. It’s so much work for really no reason. I don’t know why this patient drank to the degree he did to destroy his liver. He did this to himself. What a waste of resources. I heard his family wants to get him on a list for a liver transplant.”

Address the following:

1. What is the most appropriate way for the incoming RN to approach this situation? Include ethical and legal considerations.

2. What is the role of the RN in regard to addressing the value system of other health care workers that may have a negative impact of the delivery of patient care? Include ethical and legal considerations.

Several years ago there was extensive coverage in the U.S.A over the pricing of the Epipen® auto-injector for injecting adrenaline (epinephrine) which had increased from USD 165 for a set of 2 in 2011 to USD 609 in 2016, making the life-saving medication (which has only a 12-month shelf-life) unaffordable for many. 

It should be noted that the adrenaline is reported to cost ~1c per dose.  The high cost is related to the auto-injector for which there were (controversially) no FDA-approved generic equivalents until august of 2018. Hence the company were effectively allowed a monopoly on the product.

a.       Why would a situation such as this not arise for consumers in Australia?  (1 mark)

b.       The current dispensed price for a single dose pen for adrenaline in Australia is $84.21 and there are two brands listed on the PBS?  How much is the consumer likely to pay? (3 marks)
