Explanation / Answer

E.

Most of the major religious groups in the United States support organ donation and they considerate as the final act of love and generosity toward others. The majority takes a lenient decision on organ donation. While considering the groups which prohibit organ donation, we should contemplate the need of the patient not their contribution to the healthcare market. All the people on the waiting list for organ donation should be given equal importance. The factors used in the US in matching the organ of a donor include blood type, time spent waiting, other important medical information, how sick the person is, and geographic location. The factors like race, income, and celebrity are not even considered.

Instead of prohibiting the organ donation to the so-called groups, education and researches regarding the importance and need of organ donation should be enhanced. The ethical issue of people who die annually for lack of available donor organs and tissue while a multitude of healthy organs are being buried every day must be considered by the community.

F.

1. The moral option of treating or not treating

Nurses have the duty to treat (DTT) when the risk is considerably low. As in case of HIV, the risk for nurses for contracting the HIV with a needle is minute as 0.4% or less. So the nurse can continue treating the patient by effectively using the standard precautions.

2. The US has already spent millions of dollars on control of Ebola and AIDS worldwide. Instead of more investment, the control over effective utilization of funds is needed. There should be an efficient and efficacious system to control the utilization of funds. The global security risks of epidemics should be counteracted by the nations altogether. The strengthening of the preventive aspects is the appropriate tool, then treating the disease outbreak.
