Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that when there are patients receiving treatments or interventions that keep them alive, one may face the decision of whether to discontinue treatment. The writer offers the example of an adult male patient at the HIV Treatment Center on dialysis for acute renal failure and mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure. The writer notes that in this case the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) treatments are no longer of benefit, even though the patient's family wants them continued. The writer maintains that if life expectancy can be prolonged with additional chemotherapy, it may be reasonable to give TPN to allow the patient to enjoy that benefit. However, the writer concludes that in the case where additional chemotherapy offers no substantial increase in quantity or quality of life, TPN could become another burden for the patient without any meaningful benefit, and ought to be withheld.

Transference and Counter transference

Debating Cardiopulmonary Arrest and Resuscitation
From the Paper
"Transference and countertransference are both normal phenomena that may arise during the course of the therapeutic relationship. Transference is the tendency on the part of the patient to "transfer" past feelings, conflicts, and attitudes into situations, circumstances and present relationships. According to psychoanalytic theory, transference evolves from unresolved or unsatisfactory childhood experiences in relationships with parents or other important figures. From a behavioral orientation, patients may have developed habit-forming patterns in how they relate and interact with others. These habits involve development of attitudes and ideas based on the learning and retention of information from past relationships. The habits learned from past relationships may create behavioral and thought patterns in subsequent relationships, even though the actions and attitudes may be inappropriate for the current relationship. As caregivers have frequent contact with patients, the potential for caregivers to be objects of transference is significant."

From the Paper
"A standard definition from the Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing and Allied Health would describe this termination of pregnancy as, "-is the termination of pregnancy before the fetus is viable. In the medical sense, the terms abortion and miscarriage both refer to the termination of pregnancy, before the fetus is capable of survival outside the uterus. In general language, however, abortion most often refers to a deliberate interruption of pregnancy, whereas miscarriage connotes a spontaneous or natural loss of the fetus". A study conducted in Iowa, United States, showed more prevalent rates of abortions or induced terminations rather than miscarriages or spontaneous ones, and that even amongst younger women on a general trend."

Abstract
Termination is a critical phase in social work. It is a period of emotional vulnerability. This paper examines Martha, a woman with two children who has been engaged in learning programs at a social care facility following a severely abusive relationship. The paper shows that at the end of a one-hundred-and-eighty-day period, Martha now faces discharge from this care facility and an examination of her experiences with termination demonstrates how client termination can be handled in a manner that empowers the client.
From the Paper
"The process of terminating a patient from a social care program is difficult (Hepworth & Larsen, 2001). It is not similar to discharging the patient from a hospital or medical care center. A patient in a social care setting tends to have undergone significant emotional bonding to the social care center and its members (Hepworth & Larsen, 2001). In almost all circumstances, clients entering a care center do so at a difficult period in their lives, and the role that the care center plays in their recovery and in helping to develop their futures means that the client has placed a significant emotional and personal investment in the care center (Fortune, 1995; Hepworth & Larsen, 2001). The Sarah Burke House takes these factors into account when they discharge clients."

"THE PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC PROCESS OF TERMINATION AND THE REGRESSION
AND RESISTANCES DISPLAYED BY THE PATIENT
Introduction
Psychotherapists have long been concerned with patient responses and reactions to the termination of therapy (Peterson & Nisenholtz, 1994). This paper describes and discusses two of the most common patient reactions to therapy termination, namely regression and resistance.
In the body of the paper, behavior characteristics of regression and resistance responses are delineated and the populations that are most vulnerable to such problems are listed and discussed. Many of the psychodynamic features underling the emergence of such behavior (e.g., separation anxiety, issues of loss and dependency, unconscious guilt, etc.) are noted. The.."

»

Abstract
In this paper the author discusses the issues at hand when an employee is dismissed from his workplace due to sexual harassment whether it be fair or unfair. The author highlights the real problem for the typical employee in that he does not have the information, or the help to fight a suit from the beginning. A company has lawyers on a retainer, some of whom specialize in fighting employee termination suits. The paper concludes with recommendations of what can be done for fairer treatment.
From the Paper
"We have moved from the Stone Age, where cave men dragged their women through valleys and mountains, often by their hair, to the age of frightening realities where women fear the potential sexual innuendoes, even unwanted "touching" by men, while men are afraid to do or say anything- even for an executive to close his office door with his secretary or some other woman present."

Abstract
As a universal practice, the field of medicine functions as a single dimension, focusing on the medical model of seeking causes and solutions from scientific perspectives. Until recently, however, many patients with terminal illnesses such as cancer and heart disease have claimed the correlation of their religion and faith in sustaining their hope to recover from illnesses. This assertion has caught the attention of diverse health professions and led to research and studies in the analysis of religion or spirituality as an element in the medical process. This paper explores the assertions and idea of spirituality as being able to help in the healing process of terminally ill patients. The recognition of the value of elements such as faith and religion by both patients and doctors is one of the essential aspects of this study?s research and analysis.

From the Paper
"A medical assessment article indicates that spirituality is an element that exists within medical stages faced by a patient. This is identified through a patient?s demonstration of hope for recovery, or discovery of cure despite the possible results of a disease such as physical abnormalities or death. Despite the unexplainable occurrences transpiring between spirituality and the field of medicine, the positive behaviors and improved physical conditions demonstrated and testified by terminally ill patients provide supporting evidence to the positive association of spirituality in medicine."

The Due Process Law, 2007.

Abstract
The paper explains that the due process law, as stated in the 14th and 5th Amendments, requires a thorough evidentiary hearing before a person can be deprived of benefits. The paper describes the due process law as ensuring that when the government, whether federal or state, decides to terminates a person's entitlements, he/she will be given an opportunity to use his/her legal rights in the most suitable manner to defend his/her position. The paper examines evidentiary hearing and what the court's opinion has been on the deprivation of benefits. The paper also looks at the landmark Goldberg vs. Kelly case.
From the Paper
"While the Fourteenth Amendment expressively mentions states, the Fifth Amendment deals with due process law in federal context. Now that we know that a person cannot be deprived of benefits without due process of law, it is also important to mention here that an essential component of due process is evidentiary hearing. This was decided by the Court in the landmark case Goldberg v Kelly (1970). This allowed evidentiary hearing to become an important part of the rights granted to a citizen under due process law. The two important questions that are answered in evidentiary hearing are concerned with jurisdiction and presence of probable cause. Jurisdiction question can be settled easily while probable cause requires further explanation."

From the Paper
"In New York City, the NYPD is not the only police agency operating in the city. The Port Authority Police Department is another such entity, with a jurisdiction that ranges over a radius of twenty-five miles and covers all of the major arteries into New York City. JFK alone encompasses 5,000 acres with ten terminals and can be seen as being like a small city. The PAPD has an authorized strength of 1,400 police. AS in most departments, the PAPD commanding officers use the analytical data they can gather so that they can recognize anticipated public safety threats and allocate their resources to those threats. State-of-the-art communication capabilities are an important component of this preventive strategy, and to this end, the PAPD has placed mobile data terminals inside police cars to enable police to communicate immediately with motor vehicle bureaus and other government entities for fast background checks of detained persons (Morrone, 1998, paras. 9-12)."

Terminal Dehydration, 2002.
This paper reviews the article ?Voluntary Death: A Comparison of Terminal Dehydration and Physician-Assisted Suicide? by Franklin G. Miller and Diane E. Meier.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents the pro?s and con?s of terminal dehydration, the total withdrawal of food, water and treatment methods from the patient that hastens his death. The author points out that terminal dehydration may prove to be a stressful and excruciating experience for the patient as well as the caregivers because death by terminal dehydration can take as much as 3 to 4 weeks and is crueler than physician-assisted suicide. The author believes that whatever the reasoning we still cannot justify terminal dehydration or any other form of foregoing life as an acceptable clinical practice and stresses the importance of palliative care based on love and a sense of collective responsibility of taking care of the incapacitated elders.
From the Paper
"Since it is within the legitimate rights of the patient to either refuse or accept treatment, terminal dehydration is legally admissible. Hence, there are no real legal conflicts or controversies involved in terminal dehydration. On the other hand, it is a breach of the fundamental rights of the patient and a compromise on his autonomy to coerce him to undergo painful, restrictive and intrusive treatment methods. However, we have to understand that the absence of legal restrictions does not suggest an automatic approval of terminal dehydration as an acceptable clinical practice. In other words, terminal dehydration is not absolved of the ethical and moral controversies which surround other active forms of euthanasia."

Dehydrating the Terminally Ill, 2004.
A look at the morality behind dehydrating terminally-ill patients.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses an article in which the author exhorts terminal dehydration as an alternative and legal form of assisting death. The advantages of terminal dehydration over other direct forms of physician-assisted suicide are carefully compared. There is also a discussion of the potential for abuse of euthanasia, especially in view of the ever- increasing and unmanageable costs involved in palliative care.
From the Paper
"The author encourages the medical community to consider terminal dehydration, with the voluntary consent of the patient, as a suitable alternative method. However the author cautions that as with legalizing other forms of euthanasia, integrating terminal dehydration as a clinical practice to alleviate the sufferings of terminally ill patients involves a careful consideration of the patients ability to make the decision and to make sure that it does not become a forced or involuntary decision. The author also points out a further justification that favors terminal dehydration."

Abstract
This paper reviews Steven Spielberg's movie 'The Terminal', discussing the movie's focus on one man that has entered the United States to put the past of his father at peace. The paper reports that the main character soon discovers that his country has undergone a civil war while he was en route to the United States and the powers that have overtaken his country have now abolished its existence. Airport authorities, therefore, refuse to honor his visa and confine him to the airport terminal. The paper further discusses the apparent cultural differences and language barriers between the main character and the airport employees.

Abstract
This paper discusses the difficulties that may be associated with having a terminal disease, in terms of a patient's contentment with life. It describes the resources and support that Canadian patients with terminal disease are fortunate in possessing. It discusses how these resources of a well-trained, empathic health force and modern facilities support social well-being. The paper provides examples from the literature.
From the Paper
"Quality of life in patients with terminal illnesses such as terminal cancer is no doubt a large concern for nurses. Unlike acute disease processes, terminal diseases in patients, while therapeutic relations between nurse and patient can strengthen over time, must also be evaluated to determine the effectiveness of treatment. In this case, it is the preparation of the patient and family in body, mind and spirit for that inevitable transition from life to death. Interventions to improve the quality of life of these patients have significant value as portrayed in the previous articles."

Child, Terminally ill Parent, 2008.
A review of the problems facing children when there is a terminally ill parent in the household.
2,022 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 64.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the environment in a home where there is a terminally ill parent is often significantly different than a "well" household. This is not only because this home has the paraphernalia associated with the ill, such as sick beds, pharmaceuticals, wheel chairs and the like. These factors cause tense situations that make all family members more stressful. The paper then discusses how children of terminally ill parents experience other frightening daily occurrences. The paper concludes that youth need assistance in dealing with death and grief in order to help them cope with the changes occurring in their lives.
From the Paper
"Many children and families go this situation. According to national statistics, by the age of 15, over a million children in the United States will lose a parent to a terminal illness (Mahoney, 2005). Although numerous programs and resources are available to help those children who are grieving the death of a parent, there are few organized interventions to help families cope with their children's emotional needs during the parental illness and treatment, when help is especially needed."

Abstract
Until recently, national governments of most countries have long been the sole owners and operators of their domestic and international airports. At present, a growing number of countries have been exploring ways to more extensively involve the private sector as a means to provide capital for development and improve the efficiency of all airport operations. This paper outlines the reasons why privatization is taking hold, how it may be financed, who is taking part in this strategy, who benefits from privatization and the time frame for privatization projects.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The costs involved with basic ATO are relatively fixed. In government operated airports, there is generally no correlation to the potential amount of retail sales revenues, travel volume and pedestrian traffic.
Besides federal grants, other major sources of funding for airport development are passenger facility charges, bonds, and airport revenue. With FAA approval, airports can collect up to three dollars in facility fees from each traveler. In the United States, the FAA administers federal grants that are made available from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund to help support capital development projects that enhance airport capacity, safety, security, and noise mitigation. Most grants are allocated on the basis of a legislated apportionment formula and set-aside categories earmarked for specific types of airports or projects. Also, the FAA also has the discretionary authority to allocate the remaining funds on the basis of needs identified by airports. With FAA approval, airports can charge facility fees from passengers as well.
Financial analysis, retail planning and economic impact studies all help to combine philosophies on what approach to take when finding the money and resources to make the plan a reality."
