You have been hired as Assistant Manager of a Home Health Care Agency. The agency offers a wide range of skilled medical services such as nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy from qualified medical professionals. The agency also provides home health aide services including assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing and eating.

Your supervisor told you that she recently received a call from an advocate whom an employee consulted via the Employee Assistance Program because the employee felt that she had been treated unfairly after contracting an illness. She explained that a few months ago, one of your agency’s home health aides, Sara, became ill. Sara had been coughing for approximately six weeks, lost weight without trying, had no appetite, was having difficulty sleeping, and had an intermittent fever. She became concerned and went to see a healthcare professional who diagnosed her with active tuberculosis (TB).

Sara missed a lot of time from work while completing treatment for TB. Her physician cleared her to return to work after she was no longer contagious. Upon returning to work, Sara felt isolated because her boss and co-workers refused to spend time with her. She heard that someone from the agency’s Human Resources Department told her co-workers her diagnosis. The stressful circumstances at work became even worse when another home health aide started to display the same symptoms Sara had.

Your supervisor has asked you to review the entire situation and how it was handled by the agency.

Now, in a complete 2-3 pages paper, address the following: (DO NOT WRITE QUESTIONS IN THE PAPER)

The Human Genome Project

Bioinformatics is a subfield of medical informatics that deals with  molecular biology. It is primarily used in genetics and genomics,  specifically in DNA sequencing. Rapid developments in this area of  science have led to an enormous amount of information that needs to be  entered, organized, and mined for further analysis and sequencing. While  the project was technically completed in 2003, analysis of the data is  still going on and will continue well into the future.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, create a  10- to 12-page report in a Microsoft Word document that answers the  following questions:

• What, in your own words, is human genome project (HGP)? What are its  goals? Why is HGP an important part of the evolution of bioinformatics?
• Which legal and ethical issue will you select from the HGP website  for further discussion? Why do you believe that the issue you have  selected is of high importance for discussion? What are the criticisms  or concerns surrounding this particular issue?
• What response or solution does the HGP provide for the concerns and  criticisms of the above issue? Do they identify any of their own  concerns?
• What role do you think medical informatics professionals should play in addressing such ethical, legal, or social issues?
• What is personalized medicine? What are the different applications?
• What are the legal and ethical considerations for personalized  medicine, including HIPAA? What types of standards and interoperability  issues must be addressed before adopting?
• What are some of the informatics issues that will need to be addressed in the next ten years?

Case Study 3:  Disorders of Fluid and Electrolyte Balance

Amanda is an 18-year-old with anorexia nervosa. She was recently admitted to an eating disorders clinic with a BMI of 13.9, and although she was a voluntary patient, she was reluctant about the treatment. She was convinced she was overweight because her clothes felt tight on her. She complained that even her hands and feet “were fat.” One of her nurses explained that a protein in her blood was low. The nurse further explained that, as difficult as it may be to believe, eating a normal healthy diet would make the “fat hands and feet” go away.

What protein do you suspect the nurse was referring to? How would a deficiency in this protein contribute to edema?

What is the difference between the physiology of pitting and nonpitting edema?

Because of her weakened condition, Amanda was moved around the ward in a wheelchair when she was not on bed rest. How does this affect her edematous tissues?
