What are the major ethical issues the NP must consider when working with this family? (20%) work groups to complete a comprehensive case analysis. Students will be assigned their group and will have a week to use discussion board to analyze the case and develop a power point answering all questions related to the case in detail. For this assignment, students must create a well-developed power point presentation that addresses all of the posed questions. The presentation must reflect the work of all group members, be a maximum of 15 slides and have a minimum of 3 professional references. The professor will post each group’s presentation at the end of the week.
CASE STUDY
The family of 70 year old Mr. B came to the NP to discuss a recent discovery that Mr. B has Huntington’s disease. Mr. B has had tremors for many years, which were thought to be due to prior alcohol use. Recently he has deteriorated significantly both physically and cognitively. He was evaluated by a neurologist who did testing and discovered that he actually has Huntington’s Disease and his father and brother most likely died of this as well. Mr. B has 7 children: 3 boys and 4 girls, and 8 grandchildren.
