Explain in as much detail as you are comfortable with how drug and alcohol use has affected your life. Substance use is far-reaching, so this is not solely for individuals who have struggled with drugs and alcohol personally. You may also explain how the substance use of those close to you has impacted your life. Conclude your essay with your personal viewpoints on how drug and alcohol use has become so prevalent in the United States, and share what you think should be done to improve it.

Case 2 
Ethical Problems of Death and Dying
Michael Schiavo said he awoke early on the morning of February 25, 1990, to find his wife collapsed in the hallway of their home.” Terri Schiavo suffered from bulimia nervosa which, among other things, can result in heart failure due to the loss of vital minerals such as potassium. The purging activity of a bulimic robs the body not only of the calories contained in food but also the nutrition which our organs need to function. This appears to be what happened to Terri Schiavo–a loss of potassium caused heart failure which lead to brain damage. She opened her eyes a month after collapsing in 1990 but has never regained consciousness.
In July of 1990, Terri is brought to the home where her husband and parents live; after a few weeks, she is brought back to the rehabilitation center as her family was unable to care for her. In November of 1990, she was sent to California for an experimental procedure, the implanting of a thalamic stimulator into her brain. In 1994, she was transferred to a nursing home which, presumably, is when the rehabilitative treatments stopped. In 2000, she was transferred to a hospice facility.
Michael Schiavo was appointed Terri’s guardian in June, 1990. It was not until May of 1998 (more than 8 years after Terry became unconscious) that Michael petitioned the court to have her feeding tube removed stating that he believed he was carrying out Terri’s wishes. Terri’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, and her sister, Suzanne Vitadamo, have vigorously contested the petition. On February 11, 2000, Judge Greer (the Florida trial judge in the case) found Terri Schiavo to be in a “persistent vegetative state” which is the finding necessary to under Florida law to allow for removal of a feeding tube.
From here, the case has been a long and sad tale that has seen Terri’s feeding tube removed by court order three times and reinserted by court order twice. The Florida Legislature and the U.S. Congress both passed special laws designed to intervene in this case. The Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, attempted to use the Florida law to personally intervene in the case and keep Terri alive but the law was declared unconstitutional. On March 26, 2005, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit rejected the final appeal in the case to have the feeding tube reinserted.
This case is different than most right to die cases for three reasons: (a) Terri Schiavo left no written record of her wishes should she end up in a persistent vegetative state, (b) she is not terminally ill and only requires artificial means to be fed (i.e., her body is able to carry on all other functions), and (c) there is conflicting evidence regarding her degree of unconsciousness.
Do you believe the Michael Schiavo acted appropriately on behalf of Terry?

Chapter 13 Case: The First B-Corp Certified U.S. Grocery Store: The Case of New Seasons Market
Read the Chapter 13 case in Appendix A on New Season’s Market and answer the corresponding questions. 
CHAPTER 13 EMPLOYEE AND LABOR RELATIONS
The First B Corp Certified U.S. Grocery Store: The Case of New Seasons Market
New Seasons Market is an Oregon-based grocery store chain founded in 2000 by three families who set the goal of “rethinking what a grocery store could be.” The store is known for offering local and organic products. As of 2019, the company had 21 stores and more than 3,253 employees.
From the start, New Seasons Market was dedicated to both socially and environmentally responsible initiatives, including advocating for raising the minimum wage and the need for affordable housing. The stores divert more than 90% of all their waste from landfills via programs focused on composting, donations, and recycling. Fulfilling the company’s mission statement “to be the ultimate neighborhood store,” New Seasons Market offers events and classes, provides opportunities for its employees to do community volunteer work, and gives back 10% of after-tax profits to nonprofit organizations.
In 2013, New Seasons Market became the first grocery store in the United States to achieve B Corp certification. B Corps are for-profit companies that are certified by the nonprofit B Lab if they meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency and strive to use the power of markets to help solve social and environmental problems. B Corp certification is voluntary and can be changed at any time. B Lab is not a legal designation but it is seen by some as important. For example, Rose Marcario, CEO of Patagonia, argues, “The B Corp movement is one of the most important of our lifetime, built on the simple fact that business impacts and serves more than just stakeholders—it has an equal responsibility to the community and to the planet.” While New Seasons Market is not a publicly traded company, one key aspect of B Corps in general is that they don’t have to focus solely on maximizing shareholder value. More than 2,000 Certified B Corps exist in 50 countries across 130 industries. Many of these companies are small to medium sized, which is where much of the growth in this type of company has emerged. This certification is an independent, third-party certification that consists of an application of 170 questions covering such aspects of the business as energy efficiency and employee programs and practices. As a result of a company’s answers to these questions, a total of 200 points is possible, but the certification does not expect that any company will ever be able to achieve a perfect score. In fact, a score of 80 points is enough to become certified. In its initial application, New Seasons Market earned 121 points, which is higher than the average of 97 points and higher than some companies known for their environmental and social responsibility missions, such as Patagonia. Other notable companies with B Corp certification include Ben & Jerry’s (the first wholly owned subsidiary to get certified), Etsy, and Kickstarter. Natura, a Brazilian cosmetics company, became the first publicly traded Certified B Corp in 2014. Beyond those companies that formally apply for certification, more than 40,000 organizations use the free self-assessment tool available at www.bimpactassessment.net to help them benchmark and improve their social and environmental impact.
One major challenge for New Seasons Market is to manage relations with its workforce as the company continues to grow and expand into new parts of the country. Its expansion in 2016 to Mercer Island, Washington, was met with resistance by the United Food and Commercial Workers union’s UFCW21 over the lack of a unionized workforce and concerns over the number of hours worked required for employees to receive benefits. Also, some workers in Portland, Oregon, began a union drive in 2017 as benefits were changing as part of the growth of the company. Effectively managing employee relations will continue to be a major part of New Seasons Market’s strategy for success.
Case Discussion Questions
If you were a manager at New Seasons Market, how would you have reacted to B Lab certification? Would your answer change if you were an employee?
What are your thoughts regarding the pros and cons of measuring social and environmental impact of organizations? How would you know if a particular question on the certification is effective?
Prior to reading this case, had you heard about B Corp certification? What new things did you learn about this concept from the case?
Do you agree or disagree with Patagonia CEO Rose Marcario that “the B Corp movement is one of the most important of our lifetime”? Please explain your answer.
Do you think that New Season Market’s B Corp certification has positive or negative implications for employee relations? Please explain your answer.

An essential skill for health and human services professionals is understanding how the financial aspects of healthcare in the United States works. Healthcare professionals need to understand how revenue is generated in order to maintain a healthy revenue cycle. Healthcare professionals must find a balance so they can provide the best while maintaining both profitability for the healthcare organization and affordability for clients.
This task challenges you to apply your knowledge of financial management in the realm of healthcare. You will apply your knowledge of different payment models to two clinics. You will then apply your knowledge of the aspects of revenue cycle management and profitability to those clinics.

If still having trouble accessing, here is the pdfDownload pdf
2. Reflect
Click Submit Assignment.
In the text area, write two paragraphs total (three or four sentences each) with your thoughts on these questions. (It’s a good idea to write your paragraphs in Word or Pages on your computer, saving, and then pasting into the course, so there’s no chance you’ll lose your work.)
Do you believe the artwork in a hospital, clinic, or private practice can have an effect on patients? What effects? Do the healthcare spaces you’ve visited do a good job choosing artwork and other visual elements of the space? Why or why not? 
The paintings in the exhibition the writer describes are of people with disabilities. What would your reaction have been if you’d been a patient in the hospital?

1 issue. Get in the habit of using spell & grammar check and providing references for college-level writing. Personally, I am a poor typist and need to autocheck everything I write. For instance, I tend to reverse g and n in words ending with “-ing”. It’s annoyign when I don’t catch this typo. If you catch me makign a typo in announcements or assignments (other than in this rubric where I’m doing it on purpose as an example), message me through Carmen and I’ll waive 1 such error for you for every 1 of mine you catch so I can fix it! You might be surprised how this adds up given my lack of touch-typing skill…
