Malpractice in Healthcare and Defended Against Malpractice
Annotated Bibliography describing the current state of malpractice in healthcare and how
healthcare professionals respond to and defend against allegations of malpractice.
Specifically, 10 sources dealing with the issues raised by acknowledgment and apology in
malpractice lawsuits:
• Injured patients often sue because they want an explanation of what happened and an apology
for the injuries.
• Statements by the healthcare professional that could be perceived as admissions can create
legal liability in formal litigation.
• Some state laws, and some methods of alternative dispute resolution, help enable the apology
without the liability.
I am attaching the grading rubric for the annotated bibliography.
All sources must meet the below requirements of the assignment:
• At least 10 scholarly sources other than the Bible are included.
• At least 2 sources related to the student’s area of practice are included.
• At least 2 sources related to biblical worldview are included.
• Each citation includes a brief description of the content of the source.
• Each citation includes an explanation of the source’s relevance to the paper.

In the Ostrowski case, there existed a material issue of fact about whether the patient’s failure to follow the medical care instructed may have contributed to the harm caused. Should a physician be immune from liability in those cases in which the patient’s contribution to the harm suffered was as great as the physician’s contribution?  This topic should include a discussion of the case and the various theories of negligence, ie comparative and contributory.

How does poverty relate to poor health?

How does poverty relate to poor health?
Professor’s instructions: 250-500 word essay
You will all write a type of essay common in applying for academic admission or
scholarships called the Statement of Purpose. It is usually a short explanation of your goals and
experiences that have shaped you as a student. This helps the committee understand what you
are
like as a student and how you’ll use their scholarship or what you’ll be like in their department.
You want to sell yourself and sound like an asset. This essay is very similar to the cover letter
often asked for when applying for a job, so this essay has a practical purpose beyond applying for scholarships/transfer admission. Chose from one of two prompts:
From the ACC Scholarship Application –
Please provide a personal statement of 250-500 words that discusses your educational and
career plans and how ACC can help you achieve them. Please also include any extenuating or
unusual circumstances you want the committee to consider when reviewing your application.
*Take your time to write a thoughtful, grammatically correct essay as this is a major component
of the scholarship application.*
OR
From the ApplyTexas.org Common Application Topic E –
Choose an issue of importance to you – the issue could be personal, school related, local,
political, or international in scope – and write an essay in which you explain the significance of
that issue to yourself, your family, your community, or your generation.
50% of the grade will come from Organization and Ideas, 50% will come from Mechanics
I chose the second prompt. I want to write about how being poor affects health.

Plagiarism

The health care career paper is to be the student’s original work. Plagiarism is the improper borrowing of another person’s words, ideas, or methods. If you use another person’s material, you must acknowledge your source. When you cite a source properly, you have given credit where it is due, and you have also given your readers a way to locate the original material on their own.
But, there is more than that to plagiarism. Copying material directly without placing it between quotation marks, even if you provide the source, is an act of plagiarism.
