An usual sequence of events ensued. Police and social workers came and handed out a laundry list of "abuse symptoms" to the anxious parents of every child in the school. Then they began asking leading questions of the kids, and offering rewards for the right answers. Soon they had identified no fewer than 19 victims, who had, they said, been raped with broomsticks and forced to drink urine. The children testified that Violet cut the leg off a squirrel and tied a naked boy to a tree in front of the school while teachers and children watched.
Congress amended Title 18, United States Code, § 1512(c)(2) of the Victim and Witness Protection Act to provide additional protection to witnesses in ongoing investigations. The statute criminalizes "whoever corruptly… obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding." 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2) (2012). The question presented is whether the broad language of § 1512(c)(2) suggests that an "official proceeding" encompasses a joint-task force investigation, pursuant to Congressional intent.

To begin with, there is Autonomy with Lora wanting to make the choice on not having the abuse she encountered be reported. Secondly, Beneficence is present with the nurse wanting to do good by doing what is best for the patient, preventing further abuse, and getting Lora out of the environment she is in. Morally, the nurse wants to keep Lora’s abuse private and confidential per Lora’s wishes, but legally the nurse is required by law to report the abuse no matter what age the child is. Nonmaleficence is present in that the nurse must consider the pain in suffering the patient and family will encounter when this is reported resulting in Lora being removed from everything that is familiar to her with the end result of getting Lora out of the abuse and into a healthy environment. The nurse has to be truthful to Lora and explain why the nurse will report the abuse and what the process will be which pertains to the principle of Veracity. The nurse must keep the information that was given about the abuse confidential by only telling the appropriate agency or those in a need to know basis that will deal with the abuse. This is one of the few times that the nurse will go against the patient’s wishes of privacy due to the vulnerability principle. This occurs when there is a need for protection for

Isaiah Sais and Shawna Adams both admit that they had been verbally and physically abused; Shawna was even sexually abused. NBC Universal conducted an investigation and fount that there were more than 127 recorded abuse cases in the state of Florida within a two-month period. There are also several children that spoke to reporters about the abuse they were exposed to. Stephanie says that her mother signed her into foster care because Stephanie and the mother’s boyfriend were always fighting. The Calizaire sisters told about two instances they were abused. Sophia Calizaire, referring to her foster mother, said, “She took a belt, she started beating me with the belt, picked up a hanger, she started beating me with the hanger, picked up a heel, and started beating me with the heel.” She also says that one foster parent made the children eat dog food. Sophia tells about one incident with that foster mother and says, “She told me to eat in front of my sister while she watched and my sister was hungry.” That same foster mother also punished her by holding her head underwater until she almost drowned. Apparently, harsh punishments are quite common. Alexandria Hill was also punished for “misbehaving”. She was found in a corner of a dark room, and was not allowed to speak to anyone. She was being punished for waking up earlier than her foster mother and getting food and water from the kitchen. Not only are the parents abusive, but the other children can be extremely abusive as well. Princess Calizaire says that she once stayed in a foster home where one of the boys used to try to rape her every night before she would go to sleep, which actually made her terrified to go to sleep at night. Mez Pierre was also abused by other kids in one of his foster homes. Mez says, “I was a little kid, they knew they could take advantage of me and I couldn’t fight back. But I did tell, I did tell

At admission, Mollie’s main complaint was right hip pain. She was not oriented to person, place or time, responding with “I don’t know” to questions asked. While the emergency department nurse completed a physical assessment, Molly’s hospital record was retrieved. Molly was discharged from the hospital two weeks ago, having been admitted for dehydration. Her health history was significant for hypertension and diabetes. Her primary care provider and home health care information were included in Mollie’s hospital record, as was her daughter’s contact information. The emergency department performed an x ray to evaluate Mollie’s right hip pain and there was no evidence of a fracture. Per MD order, labs and samples were collected and processed: CBC-diff, CRP, hyperal, blood culture, prealbumin level and urinalysis. Molly was evaluated for sexual assault and the appropriate samples were gathered. The forensic nurse gently scraped material from underneath Mollie’s fingernails. Bruises were measured and age of each bruise was estimated by

The staff knew the patient well, knew that she had a history of being violent, knowing the patient positively affects patient outcomes (Zolnierek, 2013). The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Project has established nursing evidenced-based practice competencies which include: patient-centered care, teamwork, safety, informatics, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice. Some barriers to evidence-based practice include fixed tradition, with an inability to adapt; time constraints, inadequate education, resistance from nurses and doctors (Melnyk et al., 2014). In looking at the evidence that informed my nursing practice: this doctor was not trusting my judgment, even though I have been a nurse for 28 years, almost as many years as this doctor has been alive. She was resistant to teamwork, she placed staff at risk, and did not do what was best for the patient; Further, 30%-76% of psychiatric staff is assaulted by a patient at least once in
Le Mien Culture states that this is justifiable. Dr. Leigh seems apprehensive about this situation as in the Le Mien culture this medical practice is a norm, and conflicts with western medical practices as the child is being physically harmed. Even though it is not considered child abuse in Ms.S culture, it is in the western society where the issue is occurring. Is it honest to not tell authorities, and to be empathetic to Marie. As a doctor she should report it as a duty.
