Describe the stakeholders involved in this ethical dilemma. What stake do they have in the situation?Are Bill’s actions an ethical issue, a legal issue, or both? Explain your reasoning.

Resolving Ethical Business Challenges

Ahmed became increasingly uncomfortable with Bill’s behavior. He knew what Bill did was wrong and possibly illegal. He didn’t want to be involved with it in any way, but he also didn’t want to become a snitch. Now he was receiving money for his involvement. Ahmed felt the situation was escalating and he should say something to his supervisor before something really bad happened, but he didn’t want to be the one to get Bill in trouble. Ahmed knew Bill could be expelled for something like this, which could potentially damage his entire future. Then again, Ahmed had his own future to worry about.

Could he be expelled just for knowing what kind of activities Bill was involved in? What should he do with the money Bill gave him? What might happen if he doesn’t blow the whistle?

Identify the most likely condition that best explains the patient’s cough. Provide a description of the disorder and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the type of cough selected in the scenario.

Pulmonary Function

Lou is a 35-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She is normally a healthy young lady with no significant medical history. She takes no medications and does not smoke.

She reports that she was in her usual state of good health until approximately three weeks ago when she developed a “really bad cold.” The cold is characterized by a profound, deep, mucus-producing cough. She denies any rhinorrhea or rhinitis—the primary problem is a cough.

She develops these coughing fits that are prolonged, very deep, and productive of a lot of green sputum. She hasn’t had any fever but does have a scratchy throat. Lou has tried over-the-counter cough medicines but has not had much relief. The cough keeps her awake at night and sometimes gets so bad that she gags and dry heaves.

1. Identify the most likely condition that best explains the patient’s cough. Provide a description of the disorder and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the type of cough selected in the scenario.

2. Describe and explain the pathophysiologic process of the disease and underlying respiratory alteration associated with the cough.

3. Describe common clinical manifestations associated with the disorder.

Identify the causes and risk factors for the condition depicted in the chosen case.
