Instructions: Review the following case study patient details Mr. W is a 25-year-old male who was in a drug rehabilitation program last year. He has been admitted to the hospital with a history of weight loss, weakness, and intractable diarrhea. His height is 70 inches and his weight has dropped from 180 lbs. to 110 lbs. He is also suffering from fever and night sweats. Physical examination reveals swollen lymph glands, tongue lesions of herpes simplex and ulcers in the perianal region. Further tests indicated depressed T-cell levels and the presence of Pneumocystis carinii. He was tested for HIV infection and the blood test for HIV infection antibodies was positive. While in the hospital he developed several other symptoms: anorexia, fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea, and fecal incontinence. His temperature was 103F (39.8C) and was treated with antibiotics to which he did not respond. The amount of diarrhea increased markedly, necessitating intravenous hydration. He developed esophageal candidiasis and a duodenal infection. The patient did not tolerate a soft diet or nutritional supplements, continued to lose weight, and had severe anorexia, abdominal cramping, and bloating. Nutritional assessment was deficient in all aspects, showing a decreased BMI, decreased muscle mass, and depleted total protein and serum albumin. In which stage of HIV infection would you categorize Mr. W? Name and describe the major clinical complications in the final stage of AIDS and explain how these complications profoundly compromise a patients nutritional status. What should be the goal of nutritional therapy based on assessment data and the patients history? Utilize your critical thinking skills to determine the most appropriate route of feeding to administer nutrition support. Defend your choice with evidence from the patient description and the knowledge you have gained regarding alternative feeding routes. Working with patients who have HIV can include a number of sensitive issues, including patient confidentiality, integrity and ethical issues, and social responsibility. Explain how you would deal with these issues as you attend to Mr. W. List several nutritional supplements that might be used to alleviate some of Mr. Ws symptoms and increase his caloric intake when he is able to tolerate a diet again. Write a Nutrition Care Plan/Chart note on the HIV patient that addresses the patients current clinical situation. Write this note as though you were a nutrition professional caring for this patient in a hospital setting. See the Nutrition Diagnostic Terminology PDF file in Course Resources along with Box 10-2, Table 10-3 and Table 10-4 for examples of nutrition diagnostic (PES) statements. However, each patient and situation is different, and the Nutrition Care Process should be individualized appropriately. For your assistance there is a TEMPLATE for the ADIM/E Chart note available in Course Resources. The chart note TEMPLATE should be used and edited. Then, attach your chart note with assignment essay into the dropbox. Requirements Paper format: Answer questions numbers 15 in a 23 page paper using APA format and citation guidelines.

You will be required to consider a mock problem scenario (detailed below). Prepare a legal memorandum, addressed to the Assistant Commissioner of the Ambulance Service that addresses the questions detailed below. You should prepare your memorandum with reference to the exemplar provided Factual Context You are a junior lawyer working at the NSW Crown Solicitors Office. The Assistant Commissioner of the Ambulance Service via the NSW Minister for Health has approached your department to ask it to provide legal advice on the charging of fees by the ambulance service for patients who are not transported to the hospital. This is because of the following matter: George is involved in an altercation. Someone else rings for an ambulance. George declines to go to the hospital. A week or two later George receives a bill for $519 in the mail for Ambulance Services. George was aggrieved by this. George made some enquiries and found that this was routine practice for the Ambulance Service. Fees are routinely charged for paramedics providing treatment to patients but then not transporting the patient to the hospital. George thinks it is pretty unfair that he should have to pay so much money when (a) he didnt call the ambulance; (b) he didnt go to the hospital. George contacted the Ombudsman. He said, On 8th January 2018 I was at the library when I was bitten, spat on, thrown to the ground, and had my wallet and car keys stolen in the carpark. The perpetrators partner called an ambulance for him. When the ambulance arrived, he lay on the ground and paramedics attended him. After attending him, one of the ambulance officers walked towards me, I was being questioned by police, I said: Im OK, I will go to the hospital later. The ambulance officer walked back to the van and came back with a clipboard. She took my pulse and said, sign this. I said, what is it? She said refusal of treatment form so I signed it. I now get an invoice from a debt collection agency for $519. I feel this process was dishonest and sneaky and not appropriate for such an organisation. My complete version can be confirmed by 6 video cameras. I did not call an ambulance, I told them I was OK. I think this is very unfair. You look up the Department of Health meaning of treatment. It says, “the department considers treatment as the dispatch and arrival of an ambulance resource and includes at least the clinical assessment of a patient. Assessment is expected to include recording of observations and/or vital signs (as relevant and/or appropriate), as well as documentation of any interventions and/or other relevant information.” You also know that the High Court has recognised that except in cases of emergency or necessity, all medical treatment is preceded by the patients choice to undergo it. (Rogers v Whitaker (1992) 175 CLR 479). The paramedics did not ask George if he consented to receiving treatment that would cost $500.Your client, the state Ambulance service, says it relies on a patients implied consent to treatment where the patient cooperates with the paramedics taking vital signs. George complained to the Ambulance Service who just responded with the following:- Thank you for your letter. Your matter has been investigated. We have found that you were treated in accordance with our policies and the law on the collection of fees for the provision of treatment. We will not waive the invoice on this occasion. An ambulance crew assessed you, and you were offered transport to the hospital, which you refused at that time. Our policy, which reflects the law, states that:- the fee charged by our service, is payable by the person, whether or not the person consented to the provision of the service.. We hope that that settles the matter, etc. George was not happy with this outcome and wrote back to the Assistant Commissioner pointing out that the policy was not consistent with the law because the Ambulance Services Act* actually says, If a person has been transported by an emergency ambulance service, the fee charged by the service is payable by that person whether or not the person consented to the provision of the service. (*not real) Now the Assistant Commissioner of the Ambulance Service is seeking advice on the powers of the Ombudsman and how the Ombudsman may view the actions of the ambulance service (reasonable and just or unreasonably and unjust). Your line manager has forwarded the case to you to handle. They have included a recommendation to review the following document:- Victorian Ombudsman. Investigation of a complaint about Ambulance Victoria. May 2019 viewed https://www.ombudsman.vic.gov.au/getattachment/Publications/Parliamentary-Reports/Investigation-of-a-complaint-about-Ambulance-Victo/Investigation-of-a-complaint-about-Ambulance-Victoria.pdf.aspx Issues to address In your memorandum you must consider and address the following questions:- Who can bring an action to the Ombudsman? What powers does the ombudsman have to resolve complaints against government departments? If the Ombudsman makes an adverse finding against the Ambulance Service, will they have an opportunity to respond? If so, what is the likely time frame for a response once it is requested by the Ombudsman? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of procedural fairness. The Ambulance Service says they were just following their policy. Does the Ombudsman have any discretionary power to find that the policy was unfair and thus has resulted in an unfair outcome; or does the Ombudsman have to find there was a misapplication of another law eg common law of informed consent, in order to find against the Ambulance service? Does the Ombudsman have any power to order the Ambulance Service to take any particular action? Are the recommendations the Ombudsman makes legally binding? What would likely happen if the Ambulance Service ignored any recommendations made by the Ombudsman? What would your advice be to the Assistant Commissioner with regards to attempting to resolve this dispute between the ambulance service and George before the Ombudsman makes a finding? Would you provide any advice to the Assistant Commissioner about changing the service policy of charging fees for no-transport?

What would you do to help Kathy address these differences? Rapid Cycling Transcript (TXT) [Begin on-screen text] Case Study of Bipolar Depression Kathy: A Rapid Cycler [End on-screen text] >> Kathy: I know I’m running out of time. I know my cycle must be getting close, and I’m getting a little frightened. because I feel so very good. And it’s times when I feel this good that I have to cover my ass. Because when I get depressed, I get very suicidal and I forget about how well I feel. And I have to tell people, it’s like I make all my game plans when I’m well. I have to, I tell them what was going through my mind during my last depression. What I was going to do to kill myself. I try to cut off all my actions. I cut ’em off at the pass. [cars passing] [Begin on-screen text] Kathy Schweizer, St. Louis [End on-screen text] >> Kathy: When I feel really, really good, I could stay on my bike forever. [cars passing] >> Kathy: It makes me feel free and I don’t feel free very often. [cars passing] >> Kathy: It’s the only time that my mind is clear and I don’t think about the illness. I’m just me. I’m not mommy, I’m not wife, I’m just Kathy. [cars passing] >> Boy: Here it comes. [Girl shrieks] >> Girl: Let me try! Here I’ll try. Here Amy. >> Kathy: Please get your shorts on. [children chattering] Richie, get off the roof! [children chattering] You can’t be on the roof. No roof! >> Girl: Mackenzie you have her dolly? >> Kathy: How’s the baby? >> Girl: Mackenzie said that you were going to bring your dolly. >> Kathy: Sometimes, my pain is so great, I’m afraid I might do it. I might get so sick. I might accidentally kill myself and destroy the one thing I love, which are my children. That’s my girl. >> Girl: What’s your dolly’s name? >> Kathy: Who loves you? Kathy? No I’m Kathy. >> MALE VOICE: The mood disorders or the affective disorders, those are pretty much synonymous terms, occur in two flavors. One is called unipolar, or unipolar depressions, and these are people who only get depressed periodically. Then, there are other people, with another form of the disorder, called bipolar illnesses. And these people get both high at some times, and low at others. And that is say they get manic at some times, and depressed at others. One of the hookers is in the past, these people were called, frequently, manic depressive psychosis. As if all people who went one way and then the other way were crazy. But a very large fraction aren’t crazy at all. They’re moods just flip both ways. Woman: I feel so alone. >> Male Group Member: Well that’s the whole thing. That’s why it’s real good that you’re sitting here, isn’t it? I live by myself, and when I get depressed, I feel like there has never been a good day. There have been times where I have wanted to die. I mean, I have prayed to die. I have cursed God and asked him, please, take my life. But there was one little ray of hope. >> FEMALE VOICE: I mean, I can come up with a million reasons why I want to die sometimes, but none of them are good enough reasons to do it. But yet they’re good enough to me. And it just hurts so bad. And there’s been times when I’ve called Paul, and I’ve said, “My God, what am I doing? Why am I here?” >> Kathy: But see, you people, you don’t have that many episodes. I’ve had four times seven. I don’t even know what that comes to. >> Woman: 28 >> 28. 28 times, up and down. And okay, maybe I do get upset and I want to get out. Because I’m tired. But sometimes I just don’t see much hope. I see what– >> Mary Ellen Harris, R.N. (Kathy’s Nurse): Kathy is special because her cycles come so rapidly. I’ve had some patients I haven’t seen since the first time I’ve treated them. I have some that I see once a year. We have some that come in maybe twice a year, but they’re out in a few days, and that’s usually because they’ve refused to take medication. She does everything the doctor orders, and yet she’s still here. Three, four times a year. And each time that she’s come in, she has felt more despondent, more depressed, and more hopeless. And this time I was real, I was very worried about her. >> Kathy: Living in pure hell for the rest of your life, that’s what it reminds me of. Staying alive for your family because it’d kill ’em if you die. I stay in a living hell. For me, I cycle four times a year, four or five. Some depressions are little dips, some are big dips like this one and you end up in the hospital. They scare the hell out of me. I’m terrified I won’t ever come back from it. I love my family very much, and I can’t stop them. Rapid Cycling Video with Closed Captioning >> MALE VOICE: The characteristic discouragement and hopeless feeling that is associated with some depression, inevitably seems to lead patients to think that life isn’t worth living. They’d be better off dead. And they may actively think of taking some steps in those directions. And I think that there’s a spectrum of intensity of these feelings. Some patients will only have it in an intellectual idea. Well, I could always commit suicide. And in fact, one of the interesting things is that some patients will tell you what seems strange, knowing that they can kill themselves if things get bad enough, helps them, they say, tolerate the situation. >> Kathy: With medicine, and time, and hospitalization at time, yes I can pull myself up. I’m not so sure though if I want to do that anymore. Cause I’m going to go down again. And I don’t know if I have enough energy to go to the other side. [birds chirping] Kathy: Let’s go play bike tag. >> Girl: Liar! >> Kathy: Let’s play bike– hi darling. We’re going to play bike tag. Okay. Come on John, I’ll explain bike tag with you. >> Kathy: When I get really, really depressed, I don’t remember this. >> Mom! Can we watch? >> Kathy: You can sit out here and watch. >> No, can we can we, can we play by walking? >> Kathy: What? >> Kathy: When I’m really, really depressed I won’t remember how fun it was to ride my bike. Or how fun it is to go up with Sharon in the tree house. Or how much fun I have playing soccer with the kids. I don’t remember any of that. I just remember a lot of pain, and I want to get out.
