  3. Whether physician or nurse practitioners provide the most cost-effective care.
  4. Whether medication therapy is superior to diet therapy in the control of chronic illness.

Question 2

The nurse has received a financial aid package that has a forgiveness clause. What can the nurse expect as a result of this clause being part of this package?

  2. The student will not have to pay back some portion of the financial aid package if the student works in a specific location for a period of time after graduation.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

All of these options are ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare providers, but the major argument is whether health care is a right or a privilege. The other options reflect this basic argument.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Although financial aid packages can be written in many ways, the most common meaning of forgiveness is that the recipient will not have to pay a portion (or sometimes all) of the money back if the recipient works in a specific location or specialty for a period of time after graduation. In most cases, financial aid packages change (and may be invalid or have to be repaid) when majors change or when grades are not satisfactory. In either case, the money owed is not forgiven. Although the student may continue to receive aid of some sort while seeking advanced degrees, there is a limit to federal aid that cannot be exceeded; and simply seeking advanced degrees does not mean that money owed does not have to be repaid.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
