Does Esteban’s position with the company and his use of the company phone and assets expose the company to potential liability? Why or why not?
What do you think the company must do (ethically and legally) to stop employees from using the company’s assets for their own benefit? Explain with examples.

Combining Psychotherapy and Pharmacology: A More Effective Treatment for Major Depressive Disorder
Hello! I have to write a persuasive essay and mine is about “Why Should We Combine Psychotherapy and Pharmacology in the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder”. Below is links to the websites that I would like to be used in my paper. I also want information to be pilled out from the links with the APA citations of the proof as well, please. Do not exceed 900 words
Here is the outline that I would like
1. Introduction and a thesis that goes along the lines of this: Most people around the world are affected by major depressive disorder (MDD). Some are using medications to help get along with their lives. Pharmacotherapy is a great way to help relieve people who are suffering from MDD. However, medications are not enough to help someone get through their battles because it does not address the psychological issue. By combining psychotherapy with pharmacology, it can help get to the bottom line of the problem by tackling both neurochemical imbalance and psychological factors which will ultimately lead to more effective and lasting relief for those suffering from MDD.
2. Pharmocology benefits
3. Psychotherapy benefits
4. Why it is beneficial to do both
5. Conclusion

End-of-Life Issues in Hospitals: Examining Professional Ethics and Accrediting Bodies Title: Ethical Considerations in End-of-Life Care: The Case of Tonya and the Hospital’s Decision on Life Support
Write a 2–3 page paper that examines end-of-life issues in relationship to hospitals, professional ethics, and accrediting bodies.
Expand All
How Institutional Conceptual Frameworks Influence Ethical Decision Making
We wrap things up by exploring institutions and groups designed to help ensure that hospital staff at all levels think and act ethically in caring for patients. Accrediting bodies are oversight agencies charged with performing accreditation of hospitals and helping to establish standards for health care delivery. Their aim is to keep the quality of care as high as possible and to make sure the care is delivered ethically. Ethics committees are groups of individuals within hospitals that meet regularly to advise staff on ethically difficult cases and to promote an ethical institutional culture.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and scoring guide criteria:
Competency 2: Apply sound ethical thinking related to a health care issue.
Demonstrate sound ethical thinking in applying ethical principles and moral theories to a specific case.
Competency 3: Analyze ethical issues associated with patient care from the perspectives of various health care professionals.
Explain professional codes of ethics and apply them in to a specific case.
Competency 4: Explain the conceptual framework that health care leaders use to make ethical decisions.
Explain organizational documents like mission and value statements and use them to analyze a case study.
Explain the role of accrediting bodies and applies this understanding in analyzing a case study.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and respectful of the diversity, dignity, and integrity of others and is consistent with health care professionals.
Provides validation and support within written communications by including relevant examples and supporting evidence using APA citations.
Produce writing with minimal errors in grammar, usage, spelling, and mechanics.
Preparation
Complete the Case Study: Tonya Archer media activity, which is linked later in this assessment.
Before you begin creating your submission for this assessment, make sure you have worked through the Tonya Archer case study. This will provide the foundational context for the assessment, for which you will be carrying out independent research by using the Internet to complete the following:
Identify the professional code of ethics for your professional specialty or a specialty that you are interested in.
With a local hospital in mind (perhaps one you work for), locate the mission, vision, and values statement of that hospital.
After you identify the professional ethics code and the hospital mission, vision, and values statements relevant to your work and interests, it may be useful to complete the following:
Identify which item in the ethical code you believe is the most important and explain why.
Name something in the code you would like to see addressed in more depth. Why?
Which item in the code do you think would be the most challenging to follow and why?
Does your code make an explicit distinction between what is legal and what is ethical? That is, is the code clear that, while an action may be legal, it may not be ethical?
Finally, how well does your professional code of ethics align with the mission and values statement of your hospital? Can you imagine a situation in which following one would make it challenging to follow the other?
Instructions
For this assessment you will apply some concepts we have learned in the course, particularly those relating to the basic principles of health care ethics, professional codes of ethics, and values of health care institutions.
Write a paper that answers the following questions as it relates to the Tonya Archer Case Study:
What are the most relevant end-of-life issues in health care ethics as they relate to this case?
What should the hospital do? Should doctors simply keep Tonya on life support, as the parents want? Or, since all medical evidence indicates that Tonya’s brain damage is permanent, should life support be removed?
Support your answer with the following considerations in mind:
Explain which principles of health care ethics and which moral theory are the best philosophical foundations for your view.
Is your view supported by your professional code of ethics? If so, explain how. If not, explain what your code gets wrong about a case like this.
Is your view consistent with the mission statement and values of the hospital you identified in your independent research you conducted to prepare to complete this assessment?
Would an accrediting body, like The Joint Commission, support your choice? Why or why not?
Submission Requirements
Your paper should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style and formatting guidelines. Refer to Evidence and APA for guidance.
Length: 2–3 typed, double-spaced pages.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point. -

Understanding and Appreciating “The Penthouse” by Andrew Holleran
Task
Your task is to write a response to each of the following prompts for the story “The Penthouse” by Andrew Holleran, they are on specific aspects of fiction:
A dialogue that helps “you” better understand a situation or a problem in the story (350-400 words; 10 points).
A character that stands out “to you” as important to the story, regardless of whether it is major or minor (350-400 words; 10 points).
In each of your two responses, see that A) you explain your point clearly, and B) you quote and cite your source, which is the story, 1-2 times to provide evidence of your claim.
Note: If you write on different aspects, you may lose many, most, or all of the points on the assignment, depending on how much damage your irrelevant response has caused.
If you are not sure what dialogue and/or character means, look the term up in any English dictionary of literary terms.
Note: In your responses to this assignment, write the number of the prompt (1 and 2) followed by your response to it. A response that does not have its proper number runs the risk of being misread and with that, losing the points available on it.
A Note on Quoting
Your quote is expected to be effective to provide strong evidence of your claim; it should be introduced smoothly into the discussion, not thrown into it; it should not be a repetition of what you say in your own words; and it should be relevant to the discussion.
If you quote once in a response, the length of your quote should be somewhere between 10% and 15% of the total word count of the response.
If you quote twice in a response, the length of your quote should be somewhere between 5% and 10% of the total word count of the response.
A response that has ineffective quotes could lose up to 20% of the response grade.
A response that does not have a quote at all automatically loses 20% of the response grade.
