Essays on Omission

There was a time when nurses were not included in malpractice and negligence lawsuits, but that is no longer true. Today, nurses are included with doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers and agencies when the outcomes of patient treatments are undesirable. When a nurse is accused of failure to competently perform her or her responsibilities to the patient and employer, the result may be as serious as the death of the patient. For this reason, focus has centered on the types, incidences, and ways to prevent actions that cause patients harm and may result in expensive and license-threatening litigation ...

Introduction

In 2000, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Qwest, Joseph Nacchio, was charged civil and criminal liabilities after it has been found that he violated the provisions of GAAP against fraud and insider trading. He was sentenced to six years in prison in 2007 and was slapped with a $19 Million fine and a forfeiture order for proven illegal stock sales transactions worth $52 Million. In this memo, the author discusses the different aspects of Qwest’s case, emphasizing the role of GAAP and the PCAOB.

The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) refers to a standard framework of ...

While in the camp, Lyle, Nomura’s son gets into a relationship with Billy Burrell’s daughter, Katie. Billy Burrell is one of the guards at Topaz. The climax of ...

As a matter of fact and law, it is indeed true that to successfully bring a claim in negligence, the claimant has to prove on a balance of probabilities the existence of a duty of care, breach of that duty by the defendant and a resultant loss, harm or injury to them. This is known as "the three-part test" for negligence. In addition to these essential elements of the tort of negligence, no defenses should be applicable if a claim is to succeed. However, successfully proving the existence of these elements and getting remedies from courts is not a ...

Issue

In examining the criminal liability of the four persons about the death of Betty, several issues should be focused on approval or disapproval of any liability. In the case of Naveed, there is a need to prove whether he committed an actus reus in his threatening Betty. In the case of Peter, we need to establish under which circumstances and criminal law he might have been the causal link in the shooting, injury and eventual death of Betty. Also, there is a need to prove whether there was any state of mind with criminal liability and intent to cause ...

Nurses play a critical role in the provision of quality care and patient safety. Various studies show that there is a significant direct correlation between adequate nurse staffing and patient outcomes in hospitals. For example, a hospital with good nurse-patient ratios records better patient outcomes in various aspects such as mortality and reduced cases of failure-to-rescue (Agency for Health Research and Quality, 2015). There is, however, lack of good understanding of how nurse staffing ratios connect with patient outcomes. There are two possible ways to rationalize the relationship between patient outcomes and nurse staffing ratios; one is the quantity ...

Discussion of Negligence

Discussion of Negligence According to Turner (2013), a tort refers to a civil wrong committed by one person against another person. The law of tort attempts to adjust for harms done to individuals by awarding the successful plaintiff who demonstrates that the defendant was the cause of their loss, damage or injury. A tort can be classified into intentional torts, strict liability torts or negligence torts. Intentional torts arise from intentional acts while unintentional torts arise out of a defendant’s recklessness or carelessness. A strict liability tort is type of tort in which no proof of fault on ...

There is a sharp distinction between active and passive euthanasia. The former is the voluntary act of ending life or “mercy killing” while the latter is the cessation of the activities used to prolong a patient’s life. There have been strong debates concerning the moral permissibility of the active euthanasia. In this essay, I will present the arguments put forth by Rachels and Callahan concerning the issue and argue that the active voluntary euthanasia is not morally permissible. In his justification of the active voluntary euthanasia, James Rachels stands that judging from moral grounds active and passive euthanasia ...

Ordinary and extraordinary treatment has different meaning to different people. For those working in the medical profession, ordinary means standard treatment while extraordinary means non-standard treatment. When used by an ethicist, ordinary treatment will refer to those means of prolonging life which are morally acceptable by both the physician and patient preserving life and health. Extraordinarily relates to those means of treatment which are not morally acceptable. Standard treatment for a particular group of patients is more likely to be morally required than a non-standard treatment. In some cases, standard treatment may be not morally required for individual patients ...

In the Case of Dudley Lee v Minister for Correctional Services, the issue on causation and the unlimited liability of the state has been invoked in the arguments that led to the decision of the Constitutional Court to overturn the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling that discharges the respondent Minister for Correctional Services from tort liability. As can be gleaned from the facts of the case, plaintiff Lee was arrested for various charges that led to his detainment in prison for more than four years. He contracted pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) while confined in ...

The Law of Tort

Abstract Tort refers to any civil wrong that inflicts harm and sufferance on another person. In common law, the tort leads to loss or harm on the victim, and these actions are generated by the offender or, or the tortfeasor. There are key elements of tort, and depending on the nature of the tort committed, the tortfeasor will always be liable for against his actions. Laws of tort integrate elements such as negligence, trespass, among others. Negligence cases have become more common in the courts nowadays. However, many people and organizations manage to defend against these claims. Tort involves ...

Racial identity and the acceptance of different racial culture is important to the understanding of the way person accept and understand each other. For many authors the racial identity of their characters is important to the development of the plot and to the understanding of the characters and their contribution to the plot. Toni Morrison deviates from the conventions of presenting the racial identity of Roberta and Twyla and this adds to the ambiguous nature of the story. Twyla and Roberta are presented throughout the story as different person who had to learn to deal with each other despite ...

Negligence is defined as “a failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances” (Negligence). In order to state that negligence has occurred against an individual, five acts must have occurred. To begin, it must be proven that there was a duty or standard to care for an individual by a health care provider (Boone). The individual that was harmed should have been a patient under the direct care of the defendant. Secondly, the health care provider is said to have breached his duty, meaning he or she ...

Tax practitioners should observe the highest level of ethical requirements since they are the final individuals who determine the amount of tax the taxpayer will pay to the IRS. They should possess the necessary skills and professionalism that a tax practitioner requires carrying out their functions.

Question 1

No, under the current legal framework on healthcare, physicians practicing in a group practice in primary care setting do not have the right to choose what types of patients they can treat in terms of health insurance and disease conditions. According to Sekhri (2000), the managed healthcare system under the Act only gives patients the option of choosing the type of insurance, whether private or public payer but not physicians. Fodeman (n.d) argues that, the new law on health, the Affordable Care Act is likely to interfere with the doctors’ autonomy and flexibility in making decisions on which insurance ...

In any commercial activity carried out in a country, the government has an interest in it. Therefore, in carrying out the business, the government will set up the laws for private investors to follow. Contradicting the government rules and regulations makes the firm’s external business environment quite unfriendly because the government may impose unfriendly business policies to chock the firm’s investment (Bagley, 2005). UAE government made a demand to Research in Motion (RIM) to make a way through which the government can monitor communication of co-operating blackberry users. Research in motion management should allow the government to ...

The story of mankind is created every day, but it is told through history. It is only when he looks back, that he realizes how far he has come. History has been instrumental in shaping the present and most likely the future of humanity. One of the greatest flaws associated with history is its inaccuracy. The inaccuracy is not, however, because of lack of information but because of the prejudice and perspectives that are captured by most historians (Woolford, Andrew, Jeff, and Alexander 43). Information is abundant; the only problem is the indifference that people show to the available ...

Over the period from 2010 to 2016 the U.S. Supreme Court delivered its rulings in a range of landmark criminal cases, dealing with diverse topics, such as freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures, rights regarding counsel, detainment of suspects in terrorism, as well as criminal sentences. The case Miller v Alabama (2012) belongs to the last category. The major finding of the Court in this case was that mandatory sentences of life, not including the parole possibility, are unconstitutional in relation to juvenile offenders. The case was referred to the Supreme Court by Evan Miller, a 14-year boy, who ...

INTRODUCTION

In the essay, “Censorship and the Imposition of Form”, Pierre Bourdieu begins with a definition for the word ‘skewed’. He states that when used in a grammatical context, it points to phrases which first seem to introduce a particular meaning, but go on to denote an entirely different one (Bourdieu, 1991). This idea is introduced by Bourdieu so that he develops a debate regarding the potential of language to establish authority, secure a powerful position, structure prospects for emblematic profit and establish limitations within a given field. Bourdieu writes that censorship is never quite as perfect or invisible as ...

There are two types of offenses that an individual (i.e. a defendant) may be charged with. The first one is a civil case and the other one is a criminal case. Civil cases are charges that are based on allegations that an individual or an organization (i.e. corporation or a government-related entity) has failed to fulfill his legal duty leading to damages or lost opportunities. Criminal cases, on the other hand, are where an individual is charged with an indictment for serious forms ...

Violation of law without commission of crime and consideration as to intent

It is possible for one to violate the law without necessarily committing a crime. In criminal law, crimes could be classified into crimes of commission and those of omission. While the crimes of commission involve the circumstances where the accused participate actively in the commission of the crime, in crimes of omission, the accused usually have abstained from the delivery of what if often their legal duty conferred upon them through statute or any other operating law. Crimes of omission, therefore, involve violation of the law without necessarily or actively committing any crime. However, in the context of the law, ...

The most common idea behind dieting has always been based on the fact that, it is a way of getting rid of the excessive fats in the body. It is for this reason that most individuals usually avoid taking some diets that contain high fat content especially foods like red meat and instead taking meat products with low calorie content that controls the level of cholesterol in the blood and fat, as well. Dieting has been used for many years by individuals who have weight issues and it is vital to note that, most of these individuals have been able ...

The important concepts of law and justice are necessary foundations that lend legitimacy to a state, in particular and to a society and/or a civilization, in general. Owing to the intrinsic differences in social organizations the concepts of law and justice have varied definitions and approaches in the West and the East. A valid comparison of the Western and the Eastern approaches to these concepts make the comparisons and the contrasts extremely enlightening (Nov 17).

The Western legal culture primarily evolved from the Judeo-Christian sacred texts, the Greek philosophy and logic, and the Germanic-tribal or folk (law) traditions. After 380 AD ...

Languages, just like various cultures, influence each other, as they are not sufficient on their own. The language intercourse contributes to the development of relationships among the parties involved. The French-American English dialect has gained popularity in various regions, such as CU Boulder. English has borrowed some words from the French language. Dialects have a significant influence on the automatic speech recognition; it is imperative to detect and classify various dialects to understand their originality and influence in the commonly used languages. The Standard English and American-French dialects have some similarities, as the languages borrow some words from each other. ...

Medical profession has a broad spectrum of ethical and legal issues at a broader organizational level as well as at an individual level. While it is an individual who actually delivers the services, it is because of the brand that a patient goes in. Hence, it is logical to extend the responsibility of omissions and commissions from the individual caregiver to the organization also.

Negligence has serious connotations in any profession, but more so in the medical profession. A simple injection administered through the wrong route (for example, an IV (intra-venous) injection administered as an IM (intra-muscular) injection could result in severe ...

1. Outline the categories of violence as described by Jamil Salmi.

According to Salmi, the phenomenon of violence has many characteristics, with particular causes per characteristic and with particular causational agents per cause. Violence also exists in several forms, including direct violence, indirect violence, repressive violence, and alienating violence.

Direct violence is characterized by any physical, in-person act causing intended harm. In this category would be included A) any act resulting in death (homicide, genocide, infanticide); and B) any “coercive or brutal” (Module 6, 44) at threatening or resulting in physical or psychological damage or suffering—including rape, spousal abuse, political imprisonment, for example.

Indirect violence is characterized by ...

Human behaviour is one of the most studied subjects in the world today. The complexity of human behaviour has elicited a colossal amount of research by psychologists seeking to understand some of the behavioral trends exhibited by human beings. Consequently, these psychologists have advanced several theories that explain some of the fundamental aspects of human behaviour. Behaviorism is primarily concerned with observable human behaviour. Theories of behaviorism emphasize behavioral changes that result from a stimulus-response association that is made by a learner. The proponents of this theory regard all human behaviour as a sort of response to natural stimuli (Becker, 1963). The immediate ...

FEDERAL TORT CLAIMS ACT 2 Federal Tort Claims Act Implemented in 1946, the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), is legally known as 28 U.S.C. §§ 1346(b), 2671-2680. Its aim is to allow people to file suits against the government for any injuries they have suffered from a federal employee or an agency itself. Prior to the FTCA’s passage into law, the United States government could not be responsible for this sort of suit unless Congress authorized it expressly. This is known as the common law doctrine of sovereign immunity. “The FTCA allows the United States government to ...

Abstract

Alternative dispute resolution has been hailed by many people for the crucial role it plays in finding solutions to disputes outside the courtroom. By definition, arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution technique that takes place out of the legal courts. In this kind of dispute resolution, a third party reviews the facts and evidence of two parties and imposes a legally binding decision. The fact that the parties to a dispute have total control over the process makes it more admirable as compared to the judicial process. The parties have the ability to make their own schedules and choose the arbitrators. For a ...

As one of the most important writers of the 20th century, Ernest Hemingway provided many innovations in the way poems and prose were written and read. One of the most important theories that have been developed by Hemingway in his writings is the ‘iceberg theory’, or ‘theory of omission,’ which alludes to his minimalist, almost workmanlike prose, which nonetheless manages to obscure a great deal of thematic depth below the surface. The iceberg theory is found throughout his works, as Hemingway’s prose just discusses what is right at the plot surface of the events unfolding in his stories, but ...

The Formation of the U.S. Federal Government

ABSTRACT Review of the movie "The Patriot" provides a vastly entertaining supposition of the efforts of the South Carolina colony's Continental Army actions in fighting the British Empire's army on the road to creating the federal government. Admittedly, loosely based on important characters in this vital area of American history as well as combinations of important battles making up dynamic and visually exciting scenes, "The Patriot" serves more as a springboard for academic investigation of the facts depicted fictionally in the movie specifically connected to the main character of Benjamin Martin based on ...

1a.) The four main components of a contract are: offer, acceptance, consideration and intention of legal consequences. The offer is considered complete if it states in definite terms of the agreement and it must be communicated to the offeree. The offer should not only include any estimation, manifestations of interest, requests for proposals or letters of intent. The offer is different from an invitation to treat such as advertisements and shop displays where the invitation to treat is inviting an offer to be made (Richards, 2009). In this given case, the offer was made through an advertisement in several newspapers ...

Oxygen and Respiratory Disease

Part 1: Introduction Oxygen and respiratory complications are closely associated with oxygen therapy. Long term oxygen treatment can help to make the quality of one’s life better. Oxygen therapy help COPD patients and those with hypoxaemia, low oxygen levels to live longer. Even if oxygen is prevalently used in hospitals, it has often been wrongly prescribed causing further complications to patients. The major indication for oxygen therapy is the respiratory failure. Respiratory failure involves the failure to keep up adequate gas exchange. Documentation in a number of hospitals fails to record the respiratory rate and other vital signs ...

Introduction

Negligent tort refers to the harm caused by a person to another due to the failure to act reasonably towards a person to whom a duty of care is owed. Negligent torts are among the most prevalent types of torts. It is however important to note that negligent torts are not caused by deliberate acts (Owen, 2007). This kind of tort originate when a person or an entity fails to act reasonably leading to personal harm on a person or persons to whom the person or entity owes a duty to. Negligent acts lead to personal injury to an individual or individuals and in other ...

Keeping excellent medical records is significant for continuity, especially at instances where several clinicians are required to offer care. Therefore, proper record keeping is a fundamental part of outstanding medical care. However, this is no always achieved in most medical facilities. There are various pitfalls that influence the ability of an office to maintain proper records. One pitfall is the omission of required information (Ziesemer, 2013). If the clinician states that certain information should be included in a medical record, the record keeper should ensure that the information or the items required are involved. The second pitfall is the ...

The purpose of laws is to control and standardize human actions for the overall good of society. Laws typically aim at deterring the incidence of harm to other people while simultaneously protecting the liberties of individuals. Law teaches that health care professionals owe a duty of care to their patients, and, if they breach that duty such that people are either injured or die as a result of such a breach, the health care professionals will have to pay a penalty. These penalties include, among others, loss of license, incarceration and financial loss (Cameron & Gumbel, 2010). Various types of law directly affect different ...

Executive summary

Special purpose financial statements that are conventionally provided by small businesses usually offer limited information in both quality and quantity. The main reason behind this is the freedom in reporting that small businesses have. Consequently, lenders have to be careful when using these statements in lending decisions. As a small business, Boat Builders Pty Ltd’s financial statements may not be in a good state as provided to be used in a lending decision. A critical evaluation of whether they represent the true status and performance of this business is necessary before a detailed financial analysis is done. A number of concerns arise ...

Reservoir Dogs, the 1992 independent gangster film that saw Quentin Tarantino's first foray into feature filmmaking, is a rousing tour de force of exploitation-level machismo, hip '90s nostalgia-cool and strong, theatrical performances. The film follows a group of color-coded gangsters as they fulfill Joe Cabot's (Laurence Tierney) orders to rob a jewelry store. Though the film shows the plight of various members of the gang before and after the heist, the heist itself is not shown. This treatment of time lends the film its incredible sense of urgency, energy, and desperation, as the audience is thrown into an unknown situation right along with ...

Deceptive communication can occur in a range of different settings, in relationships between strangers, friends, partners, family members and can be perpetrated by all age groups (Taylor, Gozna 1). In deception the sender transmits the information purposefully to create a wrong belief in the receiver. Deception can be done for a number of reasons and by various motivations. Depending on the severity of the consequences the lies can be high-stake, medium-stake, and low stake. There ...

According to James Snead, marking, mythification and omission happens to be the three common devices which get applied by filmmakers to consign blacks to obscurity on screen. Snead postulates that, when these three devices get employed on screen, they succeed in showing the little significance of blacks (Snead 4). Therefore, this paper shall examine four films, which tend to support Snead’s ramifications; these four films are; “cabin in the sky”, “a raisin in the sun”, “nothing but a man” and a “killer of sheep”. Taking a closer look at these films will end u revealing the use of the three devices mentioned ...
