I want to start Linda on medication for her diabetes and while I will remind her that her smoking is unhealthy, I will address that issue more fully at a later point in time. Linda has not approached me for help with her smoking, so she is unlikely to be motivated to deal with that addition at present.
Linda's bipolar diagnosis presents an additional challenge. I expect that this could cause her motivation level to fluctuate and may prevent her from staying on her diabetes medication, if I can get her to start that medication. My approach to this would be to provide her with the information and support that she needs. I will take the approach of making incremental gains with Linda, since the likelihood of setbacks is high given her state.
I would also let Linda know that if she is sufficiently motivated to take medication for her diabetes, I would be willing to work with her to set up a system...
She lives alone, so will not have anybody to watch over her -- but if we can make the medication part of her routine, there is greater chance that she will stick with it, even if she is having a bipolar episode.
Overall, my approach with Linda is that I want to ensure that she has the information she needs to equate her actions with respect to her diabetes and the pain she is now suffering -- the pain seems to be an important source of motivation for her. I will not address the issue of the smoking yet, as this is a more difficult challenge and I want Linda to focus on diabetes medication first and foremost. I do not intend to tell Linda what to do, but just to provide her with the lifestyle guidance she needs, and to impress upon her that I can help act as a support network for her, even if she has trouble following the medical advice.

Additionally, the system has now exposed the company to a lawsuit that could deliver
McClellan's assertion that the Government promotes a "culture of life" could be seen as a contradiction when considering what sort of life it is promoting. For terminally ill patients, life could mean imprisonment in a body filled with never ending pain. The Constitution guarantees not only freedom, but also the pursuit of happiness. Surely there is no happiness in constant suffering. Some would argue that life is sacred and that
Stakeholder Approach to Corporate Responsibility This essay examines the question of whether adopting a stakeholder approach is a sufficient means of assuring that corporations meet their moral responsibilities due society. The essay includes a survey of the literature on the subject. Any discussion of the effectiveness of stakeholder theory must address who and what are considered stakeholders. R. Edward Freeman (1984) defines stakeholders as "any group or individual who can affect or
Ethics Imagine that it's your responsibility to select an ethics officer for your organization. What qualities, background, and experience would you look for? Why?

A principal, for instance, will advertise on Ed Join for, say, a third grade, second grade or whatever opening he or she has, screen and hire the candidates, and then notify Personnel. At the Rio Linda Union School District, job candidates still bring in their applications in person. They bring portfolios to interviews. Not nearly as much is done online, in the screening and hiring processes, as it is at
Rights and Responsibilities for a Member of the Nursing Union in Minnesota recent MSNBC Health article on the state of the nation's health noted that despite the nation's joblessness crisis, nursing remains woefully understaffed as a profession across the nation. The current shortage of a few hundred thousand RNs could reach a staggering 750,000 by 2020, given the aging population and rate of retirement in the 'Baby Boom' generation. The
