Nonetheless, the healthcare programs are not only executed on the premise of providing health services alone; but such services are to be affordable as well. Medicare part D refers to the program where the United States federal government subsidizes the cost of drugs prescribed for the patients. It also covers the drugs and the associated insurance premiums, and all these are executed to benefit the healthcare beneficiaries. This paper analyzes the Medicare Part D and the ...

Abstract

The literature defines hypertension as a medical condition experienced when the systolic blood pressure (BP) is equal or greater than 140 mm Hg or when the diastolic blood pressure is equal or greater than 90 mm Hg. Additionally, it offers a description of systematic, cellular, as well as molecular causes of hypertension. High blood pressure within the arteries is referred to as systemic hypertension (SH). The primary role of the systemic arteries is the transportation of oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. The constriction of the arterioles (small arteries) is responsible for the high ...

Central to the conundrum facing politicians and political scholars in the United States is the low and evidently waning voter turnout. Apparently, between 1964 and 2012, the turnout in Presidential elections declined from an estimated 69.3 percent to 56.5 percent of the total registered and eligible voters (DeSipio 2016: Module 6, Lecture 1). Now, in answer, state and national officials have issued proposals for different institutional reforms including “early voting [and] voting by mail” in some States as a means to encourage Americans to vote (Ginsberg, Lowi, Weir, Tolbert, and Spitzer 2014: 219). Evidently, the mentioned tactics create a ...

At the foundations of the American Revolutionary War, of between 1775 and 1783, were calls for independence among the Patriots residing in Britain’s Thirteen Colonies in North America. The Americans emerged victoriously and as a result, the English Monarch lost its claims over the vast territories. Now, the understanding of freedom in the thirteen regions revolved around the eradication of tyranny to pave the way for democracy and for that reason alone, the United States abhorred monarchies and promoted a government based on a democratic system. To that end, it is no wonder that concerns over the central ...

Medical experiences are completely dependent on an individual's gender. Men and women, in most cases, are more prone to illnesses, which differ in nature. Men are more prone to conditions, which affect their physical health while women tend to suffer from conditions, which affect their emotion/psychological health. This paper seeks to support the notion, which states that medical experiences depend on the gender of the patient in question. In the case of George Dedlow and the narrator in ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, the two protagonists, who differ in gender, undergo completely different medical experiences. They are, however, both adversely affected ...

Introduction

Euthanasia refers to the termination of a patient’s life for the sake of mercy. Euthanasia raises several ethical concerns about the value of life as well as the measures that healthcare facilities and governments need to undertake to protect and uphold it (Weir, 1998). Countries fear to legalize euthanasia because of the ethical concerns about the sanctity of life. Furthermore, the general notion by many countries is that legalizing voluntary euthanasia would automatically lead to the legalization of involuntary euthanasia (Saaty and Vargas, 2012). There are many divergent outlooks concerning upholding life, and many individuals are of the ...

Wave and Wind Power Generation

Wind Physics Basics Wind is atmospheric air which is in motion Energy Source The earth surface absorbs solar radiation differently. Some parts absorb more radiation than other. This creates pressure zones. As a result of pressure, air moves from high-pressure zones to low-pressure zones. This causes atmospheric air motion known as wind. Wind is a renewable source of energy. It is constantly available free of charge (Bhattacharyya, 2011).

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

The class system is a form of social stratification predicated on the nexus between “ownership and control of resources and the type of work that people do” (Kendall, 2015, p. 225). Karl Marx advanced the class theory through which he posited that the history of the society is predicated on a legacy of struggles among classes. Accordingly, since its primitive inception stage, the society has emerged and evolved with fundamental stratifications (Andersen & Taylor, 2008, p. 216). In pursuit of conflicting class interests, the said classes have never ceased to clash. In the world of capitalism characterized by the pursuit ...

The new national consumer-based society was characterized by an industrial boom. New goods and new ideas that impressed the idea of a good life came together in a ‘user boom’ (Jansson, 207).

Before this era, a week’s work for a house wife was generally tedious owing to the many chores that had to be carried out. Industrial revolution was speeding up the economy of the major nations, and it basically changed their economic systems. This was a ...

Research suggests that 20% to 30% of students experience being bullied in any given school year and 75% report having experienced it sometime during their academic year from elementary through high school (Christie-Mizell, 2004). Despite these numbers, there is, in our society, unwillingness or inability to recognize bullying behavior as it occurs and often the situation gets ignored as a function of childhood socialization (Mishna, 2004; Ringrose, 2008; Seltzer, 2010). However, over the last several decades the professional ...

Balancing Executive and Legislature Power

In theory, the United States Constitution creates three co-equal branches of government, the executive, legislative, and judiciary. The Constitution places checks and balances on each of the three branches to ensure that no one branch gains too much power over the government or the political system. The executive and legislative branches interact with each other the most and so the checks and balances invoked most often between these branches. Although the executive and legislative are co-equal branches of government, throughout the nation’s history the relationship between the two branches has ebbed and flowed with the legislative branch and ...

Analysis of Selections from Nagel, What Does It All Mean?

Thomas Nagel’s 1987 book, What’s It All Mean?, offers an introduction to philosophical thought. He directs this book toward a person who has never studied philosophy before. He bases his introduction not in the writings of the great philosophers or great thinkers, but instead he offers nine categories of questions for his reader to think about. As he puts it, “The main concern of philosophy is to question and understand very common ideas that all of us use every day without thinking about them” (Nagel 5). By laying out these problems and his ideas about them, Nagel encourages ...

Plants emerged before human life in the timeline of evolution. When human beings first evolved from other species, plants were already flourishing in their own kingdom and today, they continue to dominate the earth. In the past, philosophers like Aristotle highlighted the dogmatic view that plants were passive organisms that did not have the ability to sense their environment (Baluška, 2009). Over the centuries, this dogmatic view persisted as human cultures and countries evolved. Darwin was one of the first scientists to talk about dynamic plant life in his book, The Power of the Movement of Plants. Over ...

Distribution of political power can be categorized in three forms, where an individuals’ power takes the form of social order through their status. It can also be shown through the economic order of their class, while the political order entails the party. These aspects largely affect individual areas as well as other perspectives such as wealth, prestige and power. Power can be grouped into two dimensions; where one includes the possession aspect and the other is the exercising part (Staples, et al. 2004). The possession of power involves the ability to have authority within your jurisdiction that allows people ...

Someone can describe it as a doctor providing a gun to a patient, and the patient pulling the trigger (Manning 248). PAS tends to have a similar moral goal with euthanasia, which is normally premature death of a patient. Most ethicists have described ...

- Why it is difficult to distinguish between clinical-decision making errors solely due to intuitive judgment or analytical judgment? Decisions made will depend on both intuitive and analytical judgment. Intuitive judgment mainly comes from the experience of the nurse. According to Bjork and Hamilton (2011), intuition develops from experience in managing patients in the nursing field. In this case, the nurse does not need to refer to analytical principles since the continuous exposure to these similar scenarios has led them to develop cues on how to assess different clinical situations. On the other hand, where the nurse does ...
