There are certain promises that are not considered consideration.

· As a business owner or stakeholder, how can you ensure that your contracts are enforceable?

· Think back to the Lambert v. Barron case What should Lambert have done differently?

· Lambert and Barron’s Case

· Question 1: Facts that Support the Position of Lambert that a Contract Existed

· Barron and Lambert had a meeting in Farmerville, and there was a verbal contract. According to the contract, Lambert will provide consulting services to Barron to overcome issues of this contract. The amount that Lambert was to be paid was $3100 monthly for one year (Beringer, 1999). After reviewing the details of the five pending projects, Lambert assisted DMB Inc. to start the arbitration process. He was sent all the relevant documents regarding DMB Inc.’s contract. In December 1999, Barron made a payment of $3100 to Lambert. Lambert had the evidence relating to the bills, and he sent a letter to Barron on the 30th October, 2000 (Beringer, 1999). It was about the payment of the rest of the money for the contract.

· Question 2: Facts that Support Barron’s Position that no Contract Existed

· Barron received the letter from Lambert, and he wrote back. He stated that he was surprised since he had no such contract with Lambert. He said that he only paid £3100 to Lambert since he once reviewed their contract agreement (Beringer, 1999). Additionally, he said that he considered the efforts that Lambert made to travel to Farmerville. It was despite the fact that he organized Lambert’s flights during the round trip. From that time, Barron never contacted Lambert, though he returned some calls.

· Question 3: Whether I agree with the Case’s Outcome

· I agree with the court’s outcome that there was no contract. There was no evidence that the two parties had a mutual agreement on a one year contract. It was alleged that an agreement took place in December 1998, but the first payment to Lambert occurred in December 1999. He then wrote a letter to Barron in October 2000. Hence, he was not expecting a monthly payment from Barron. The court’s arguments look valid and logical. It is hard to believe Lambert’s arguments in this case.

Using Evidence-Based Practices

For the first part of this discussion, address the following, using your readings and other resources you have identified to support your position:

  • Identify a presenting issue that is typically seen at your fieldwork site. This might be something like trauma, grief, chronic illness, domestic violence, and so on.
  • Locate at least one article in the current professional literature that discusses evidence-based approaches for working with this type of issue.
  • Summarize the key points of the article in your own words (do not use any direct quotations):
    • Describe the article’s position on the most effective approaches or interventions that can be used when working with clients who present this type of issue.
    • What is your own response to these findings? Are these the types of interventions used at your fieldwork—or that you would consider using yourself?
    • What other approaches do you think might also be effective when working with these presenting issues?
    • Support your ideas with reference to the literature or specific examples of your own experience in working with clients.

MSN 5550 Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease Case Study Module 6 Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Please provide rationales for your answers. Make sure to provide citations/references for your answers in APA format. Deadline: Due by Sunday at 23:59 p.m. CASE STUDY: Albert Albert Mitchell is a 36-year-old man who will be traveling to Dubai to give a business presentation in 3 months. Although he has traveled widely in the United States as a consultant, this is his first trip to the Middle East. He requests information regarding immunizations needed before his trip. Albert states that as he will be in Dubai for only a few days, he is unlikely to contract a disease in such a short time and therefore believes that it is illogical to obtain immunizations. Albert states that he has heard that the side effects of the immunizations might be worse than the diseases they prevent. He is also concerned about leaving his wife at home alone because she is 6 months pregnant. Reflective Questions 1. How would you address Albert’s beliefs? 2. What learning would be needed in each domain? 3. What learning theories would you consider? 4. How might his family concerns be addressed?

Pediatrics

Children, like adults, deal with variety of health issues, but they also have issues that are more prevalent within their population. One issue that significantly impacts children is the prescription of drugs for off-label use. As an advanced practice nurse, how do you determine the appropriate use of off-label drugs in pediatrics? Are there certain drugs that should be avoided with pediatric patients?

This week, you examine the practice of prescribing off-label drugs to children. You also explore strategies for making off-label drug use safer for children from infancy to adolescence, as it is essential that you are prepared to make drug-related decisions for pediatric patients in clinical settings.

Reading:

This article highlights pediatric governmental initiatives to prevent unlicensed and off-label drug use in children. Review these initiatives and guidelines and how they might impact your practice as an advanced practice nurse.

This study examines the frequency of off-label prescribing to children and explores factors that impact off-label prescribing. This study also examines off-label prescribing to children with ADHD.

Assignment: Off-Label Drug Use in Pediatrics

The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable, since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children.

When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

Children even respond differently during stages from infancy to adolescence. This poses potential safety concerns when prescribing drugs to pediatric patients. As an advanced practice nurse, you have to be aware of safety implications of the off-label use of drugs with this patient group.

To Prepare

· Review the interactive media piece in this week’s Resources and reflect on the types of drugs used to treat pediatric patients with mood disorders.

· Reflect on situations in which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use.

· Think about strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Consider specific off-label drugs that you think require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.

Write a 1-page narrative in APA format that addresses the following:

· Explain the circumstances under which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use. Be specific and provide examples.

· Describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Include descriptions and names of off-label drugs that require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.
