*EXTRA CREDIT*/ Long-Term Care: Mgt Continuum:

Evaluate the following case scenario and cite any sources used:

A resident in your LTC is diagnosed with a terminal illness which his family has decided to treat using medical marijuana (MMJ) as recommended by a medical doctor. Because this scenario has never occurred before at your LTC, the Director of Nursing has asked you to help develop a process in order to include this treatment into his plan of care. You need to determine a course of action for accommodating the family’s request while taking into account the following legal and ethical considerations:

Your LTC is located in the state of Colorado, but is owned and operated by a company located in Ohio.

This resident has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

MMJ is considered a narcotic in the state of Colorado.

All medications at the facility are currently administered by a nurse or a QMAP (qualified medication administration professional).

MMJ is “recommended” and not “prescribed” by an MD.

The patient is diabetic.

The resident’s eldest daughter lives in California and is his health care proxy.

The patient prefers to smoke the MMJ as a part of his lifelong routine.

Your LTC currently does not provide a smoking area and smoking is not allowed in the individual apartments.

The resident has a roommate who is a non-smoker.

The resident lives in a facility which accepts medicaid reimbursement.

Provide a brief, preliminary plan on how you would deal with this circumstance.

Nieto’s Ranking System

Your task for this assignment is to chart where you currently fall within Nieto’s Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment Framework in terms of the ranking system.
Copy and paste the chart below into a word processing program, and fill in what your current relationship is to each of the rank categories.
If you feel confused about where you fall, read back through the Nieto Articles. Remember that status is different than rank, and that although you may have experienced low status treatment in one of your rank categories where you are an agent, this does not affect your agent status. For example, If a man is picked-on by a woman because he is a man, this is an example of low-status treatment, it does NOT change his position as Agent within the ranking system of gender. In another example, a White person may have experienced prejudice from a Person of Color, but this does not affect their position as Agent within the ranking system of Race.
Remember also to concentrate on each “channel” of the ranking system individually. For example, if you are disabled, you may not feel like you experience agency in terms of Age rank, but it is important to remember that Age is a different “channel” than Disability. If it helps, you can compare yourself with other people in the same rank–for example, ask yourself who has more access to structural power, who is given more authority in our culture? A disabled person who is 30, or a disabled person who is 6 or 80?
Also remember that in terms of Social Class, Nieto includes most of the middle class and even large numbers of the working class among the “agent” group. You can be considered an agent if you have access to higher education, which we all have as people who meet together in a college classroom.
Pay careful attention to Nieto’s discussion of Indigenous Heritage. If you are indigenous to land outside of the US and its territories, then you are an Agent in this rank category.
Fill in the chart as best you can. Some of you may find yourself having all Agent Ranks, and some of you may find yourselves having mostly Target ranks.
Finally, write a paragraph of minimum 200 words where you reflect on one Rank category, and how it affects your daily life. Please give one specific example for your chosen rank. Fewer points will be awarded for general answers. In your paragraph, you must show that you completed the reading in Nieto by including a minimum of one quote from Nieto (with page numbers) to support your statements. The quotes should be taken from pages 45-77 of the Nieto reading.

Unit 8 Essay: Pre-Columbian Americas – Analyzing the Popol Vuh

Guidelines for Writing your Essay
Please use the following guidelines for writing your essays:
1. Essays should be typed in 12-point font. Please use a simple, clean font such as
Times New Roman or Palatino. Use 1″ inch margins on all sides. Refer to the
individual assignment directions (in the Dropbox tool) to determine the
minimum length for each essay. The length may vary for each assignment.
2. Essays are to be written following the rules of correct grammar and spelling,
both of which will be taken into consideration in the evaluation of the essay. Be
sure to proofread your essays as grammar and spell checks typically do not
catch words used in incorrect contexts.
3. Essays must be original and analytical and must be careful to include wellthought-out responses to the questions posed in the assignment. Make sure to
address ALL parts of the question.
§ Introduction which does ALL of the following: states the
purpose of the essay; frames the era by providing pertinent dates
for the subject; provides a solid historical background moving
from general statements about the subject to increasingly more
specific ones; introduces the author of the document by providing
some specific information important for better understanding why
the author wrote what he or she did.
§ A thesis which specifically explains how the primary and/or
secondary sources (as directed by the instructor) reflects the issues
and developments of the historical period when it was produced.
§ A body of evidence, this is the main part of your essay and it is
where you defend your thesis by referring to several major aspects
of the primary and/or secondary sources, explaining how they
reflect the concerns and issues of author in the context of the
period when it was written. You rely on direct analysis of the
primary and/or secondary source material to back up your
assertions.
§ A conclusive summary that briefly reiterates your main points,
but more important, suggests how the primary and/or secondary
source points to later historical developments. How might it be a
bridge to a later time in Greek history–do not just jump to the
present and make a superficial remark about how everyone was
better.
4. You must cite your sources in text and provide a complete bibliography at the
end. REMEMBER: Any information or idea that is not your own MUST BE
CITED.
§ You must give specific examples from the secondary and/or
primary sources used in the development of the paper and must
cite these sources following the MLA style, the University of
Chicago Press’s Chicago Manual of Style or Kate L. Turabian’s A
Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations.
Refer to the online resources Guide to the MLA Style or Turabian
and Chicago Styles Citations. Your instructor will specify the
preferred style. You should use footnotes or endnotes and provide
a full bibliography at the end of your paper.
§ If you use direct quotations, you must not only cite your source,
but must also use quotation marks. Example: Columbus explains
that the weapons of the natives he encountered in the islands of
the Caribbean were unsophisticated, and that their javelin, a
much-used weapon, was “no more than sticks” joined together.
Please include the text and bibliography in one paper–not separate documents.

MUST use 2 secondary sources in addition to the primary-http://www.mesoweb.com/publications/Christenson/PopolVuh.pdf)
the sources must be used in the essay and quoted.
Please READ and follow all instructions carefully.
