...The Rights of Minors or their Parents to Consent to Medical Care Vanessa Lecoin University of Phoenix February 27, 2012 It is understood that under the age of 18 minors are considered to have their parents be legally responsible in all aspect of their lives including decision-making. The responsibility of the parents are to feed, clothe, financially support, shelter their children and in this case make medical decisions and sign consent to either participate or not participate in medical treatment. It is debatable on when the minors can at least participate in the decision-making process of their health care needs versus the parents pursuing to disregard their children’s feelings and make decisions despite their children’s concerns or wishes. The question is can minors be responsible in making decisions for themselves when it comes to his or her health care needs? The answer is yes, only if they are legally able to make that decision for his or herself ir if they are above the age of 18. Many minors may appear to have the knowledge and understanding to make their own decisions such as whether or not to engage in sexual activities, to drink or not drink alcoholic beverages, to smoke cigarettes, or other illegal substances. The decisions gets more in-depth when taking into consideration what types of birth control to use such as the pill and other forms of birth control contraceptives to used as precautions to lessen chances of potential pregnancies and condoms to...

...* Describe the natural law and positivist law schools. (100 word guideline). | Selected Answer: | Legal positivism and the natural law theory are rival views about what law is and its relation to justice and morality. Natural law is the set of truths of morality and justice and rejects ethical subjectivism and affirms ethical objectivism. Positive laws are commanded by political superiors. The consentrate of legal positivism is the "separation thesis" which can be defined as someone having the legal right to do something but not having the moral right to do it. They are general commands by people who themselves are not bound by them and who can also force obedience from everyone else. | Correct Answer: | [None] | Response Feedback: | [None Given] | | * Question 2 10 out of 10 points | | | Identify and explain the various sources of American law. (150 word guideline). | | | | | Selected Answer: | American law has a ranking system specifically associated with it. For Americans to know which body of law must prevail if there is a direct or even indirect conflict, this system is necessary. There are several primary sources of American law. The U.S. Constitution and decisions by the U.S. Supreme Court interpreting the U.S. Constitution, federal statues and treaties and as well as federal administrative law. The federal case law is to interpret anything outside of the U.S. Constitution. The federal law is also superior to all sources of state law. This...

...Discussion The questions as to whether it should be legally acceptable for health care providers to force feed a patient without or against their consent in order to save their life can be controversial. The controversy derives from the battle between the patient’s rights and the medical teams’ obligations to sustain life. Outside of individual beliefs and opinions this question must be answered based on facts and legal evidence. This specific question deals with the treatment of enteral feeding or tube feeding and whether it should be administered despite lack of consent. Enteral feeding refers to the delivery of a liquid food mixture into the patient through a tube. This mixture contains proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins all necessary for the body to survive (cite). Sometimes the tube is put in through the nose and into the stomach, which is called a nasogastric tube. Other times a gastrostomy tube is used which is when the tube is inserted through the skin and directly into the stomach...

...Module Three Questions Segment One: Teen Pregnancy 1. If this was your client, what would you say and do? Be specific. Why would you respond this way? The first thing I would do is remind the client of the rules of confidentiality to maintain a level of trust. Then I would review the situation with her and ask her what would it take for her to be able to discuss the pregnancy with her parents. Provide assistance by asking the client if I could call a meeting with her and her parents and give her an opportunity to tell them in a safe environment what is going on. I would also try to find out who it is in her life that she does trust and who she could tell, maybe a favorite aunt or uncle or maybe a trusted teacher or parent of a friend who could help her inform her parents. I would encourage her to tell her parents mainly because eventually there will be no way of hiding the fact that she is pregnant and that it may be best for her to tell them instead of waiting and have them find out through rumours or by someone else. I would respond this way because if I went to her parents it would be breaking confidentiality and it would destroy any level of trust that had been developed between the client and myself. 2. What is an Informed Consent Form and why is it important? What would you include on your own Informed Consent Form regarding confidentiality? Why? Informed consent is a legal procedure to ensure that a client is fully aware of all the costs and...

...throughout the nation, they are most visible in major cities. Rigorous research on this special population is sparse, making it difficult to capture an accurate and complete picture. Despite its limitations, recent research describes homeless youth as a large and diverse group. Many homeless youth have multiple overlapping problems including medical, substance abuse, and emotional and mental problems. Literature suggests that comprehensive and tailored services are needed that address both the immediate and long-term needs of homeless youth. Where appropriate, services should include assistance with meeting basic needs as perceived by youth as a gateway to other needed services. In addition to serving those already homeless, interventions are needed to prevent homelessness among at-risk youth. Lessons for Practitioners, Policy Makers, and Researchers • As used here, the term “homeless youth” focuses on minors who have experienced literal homelessness on their own—i.e., who have spent at least one night either in a shelter or "on the streets" without adult supervision. On occasion, where warranted by the research being discussed, the term is also used to describe homeless young adults up to age 24. • Homelessness among youth in the U.S. is disturbingly common. With an estimated annual prevalence of at least 5 percent for those ages 12 to 17, adolescents appear to be at greater risk for literal homelessness than adults. Although homeless youth appear throughout the nation, they...
