Family Attendance in Emergency Medical Situations
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the ethical and medical reasons for either allowing or excluding family members during certain emergency medical situations. Emphasizes that the decision as to whether or not to allow family member attendance is really dependent on the family and the patient. While some family members obviously provide a needed support structure for the patient, and thus are beneficial in terms of their overall welfare; other family members can be more of a liability or interference in certain medical situations. Assessing which category a family member falls into becomes the responsibility of medical personnel. In no event, however, should a family member be isolated from a patient simply based on blanket organizational policy. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Five Common Chemotherapeutic Agents: Cancer Treatments, Side Effects and Complications
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 15 page paper discussing five common chemotherapeutic agents in their treatment of cancer, their side effects and complications. Chemotherapeutic agents are used to interfere with the growth of cancer cells in an effort to destroy them. When studying the alkylating agents chlorambucil, thiotepa and carmustine and the antimetabolites fludarabine and floxuridine, it is has been found that although these chemotherapeutic agents are used in the treatment of various forms of cancer, they can also cause a great many side effects ranging from nausea, hair loss, bloody stools and urine, back and abdominal pain and even secondary cancer which may appear months or years after the administration of the treatment. Patients taking chemotherapeutic agents are also warned that they may cause birth defects during pregnancy or affect the children of mothers breast-feeding. Nevertheless, chemotherapeutic agents have been found to cure over 20 percent of new cancers diagnosed and with proper caution by the patient, physician and administering staff, the patient may overcome the cancer with this form of treatment.
