Discussion Questiion

Rachel comes from a family with a history of breast cancer on her mother’s side. Rachel’s mother died of breast cancer when she was very young. Rachel has two sisters, Lisa and Kristin. Rachel has remained close to Lisa, but she no longer has a relationship with Kristin. At a routine checkup, Rachel is told about the availability of genetic testing for identifying a predisposition to breast cancer. Her doctor recommends the test to Rachel given her family history. Rachel has the genetic testing done and finds that she has a mutated breast cancer 1, early onset (BRCA1) gene. Her doctor tells her she is at high risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. Rachel’s doctor suggests she ask her sisters to be tested also, so they can take the proper preventative measures. Rachel feels comfortable sharing this information with Lisa, but she has not spoken to Kristin in many years. Rachel tells her doctor that she is not in contact with Kristin and will not make an effort to tell her about BRCA1 and genetic testing. Rachel’s doctor feels confident that she can locate Kristin but worries about breaching patient confidentiality if she goes against Rachel’s wishes.

If you were Rachel’s healthcare provider, what would you do? Provide a rationale for your response. Include the pathological processes associated with breast cancer. What role does the BRCA1 gene contribute to managing the patient’s care? Describe and explain the role of the BRCA1 and breast cancer 2, early onset (BRCA2) gene in contribution as a risk factor for breast cancer. Analyze the risk factors for breast cancer and possible interventions to preventive health management for women and men.

Disorders of Hemostasis

Leona is 52 years old and smokes. She is also overweight and has atherosclerosis. When she was given a two-week vacation from work, she packed up her bags and flew from Minnesota to Sydney, Australia, for the trip she always wanted to take. Unfortunately, just three days after she arrived, she was hospitalized when her left calf became inflamed, causing her considerable pain. The physician attending to her told her she developed a deep vein thrombosis. 

Explain, using your knowledge of hypercoagulability, why the trip to Australia contributed to Leona’s DVT? 

Why was Leona already at risk for thrombus development?How does Leona’s atherosclerosis affect platelet function? Conversely, what is the effect of increased platelet activity on the development of atherosclerosis?

How do atherosclerosis and immobility promote changes in blood coagulation?

When Leona was in hospital, she received heparin therapy. Explain why this course of action was taken to treat her DVT. Why was she not given heparin tablets to take back to the hotel with her?

Judge the following scenario drawn from Andre Dubus III’s House of Sand and Fog.
Jennifer missed a county tax payment on her house because her husband who had abandoned her had discarded the bill before he left.  When she received the first overdue notice, she did not have the funds to pay the taxes, so she filed for an extension.  The county clerk’s office lost the application for the extension, so, while Jennifer was away earning money to pay the taxes, the county placed a lien on the property and proceeded to put it up for sale to recoup the revenue.  The house was quickly purchased by an Iranian refuge and his family who were in America on a Green Card.  Jennifer returned to the house to find a strange family living in it.  When she went to the county clerk’s office to pay her taxes and reclaim her house, she was told that her application for an extension had not been received and that her house had legally been sold.  To whom should the house belong?  Justify your choice, and make reference to the ethical theory that you believe best applies (egoism, utilitarianism, rule-based ethics, or virtue ethics).
