Purpose:  In the first assignment, you have the opportunity to see how ethics can play out in a real-world scenario. You will read the case scenario and answers the questions in a narrative format. Use headings for each question. Headings are not the question. You are required to use the course material to support your reasoning and the conclusions made. 
Learning outcome met by completing this project:
Identify ethical issues that arise in domestic and global business environments using an understanding of ethical concepts and of legal and business principles.
Case Scenario:
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic required Americans to shelter in place thus causing the U.S. economy to freeze-up, resulting in millions of lost jobs. The U.S. Congress passed legislation to try and limit the economic damage. Included in the legislation was a stimulus package that would give $1,200 to single tax filers making $75,000 or less and $2,400 to married couples making $150,000 or less. The purpose of the payment was to give people emergency funds and to stimulate the economy.  Also included was the CARES Act that provided the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The PPP was a program administered by the Small Business Administration that was targeted at small businesses.  It provided for a government loan that was forgivable if used to pay employees’ salaries and benefits, mortgages, rent, and utilities. According to the SBA website, “[t]he Paycheck Protection Program is a loan designed to provide a direct incentive for small businesses to keep their workers on the payroll.”
USAA is a member-owned organization that provided insurance and financial services exclusively to current and former members of the military as well as their family members.  USAA has an excellent reputation as a well-run organization and for giving its members good service. Many USAA members maintain checking accounts with it. Some of those members who have checking accounts had overdrawn their balances and had a negative balance in their accounts. When the $1,200 or $2,400 stimulus check was deposited, USAA used those amounts to offset the negative balances in some of its members’ accounts. Members were not informed in advance that this would be the case. This resulted in some USAA members not having any access to the stimulus money. The action USAA took in crediting the funds to existing account deficits was perfectly legal.
Shake Shack is a corporation that owns and licenses restaurants selling traditional American fare like hamburgers and milk shakes. It currently operates 124 locations in the U.S. and overseas. As of May 4, 2020, the company had a market capitalization of $2.06 billion. The company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. In 2019, Shake Shack’s CEO received $2.3 million in compensation. Shake Shack applied for and received a loan of $10 million under PPP.  The loan was permissible under a provision in PPP that allows restaurant chains to apply when each location has fewer than 500 employees. Shortly after Shake Shack received the loan, the PPP ran out of funds and many small businesses did not receive loans.

Case study: Your patient is a 36-year-old woman with bipolar disorder and anxiety. She has been stable on a combination of fluoxetine and olanzapine for two years.  She is morbidly obese at 340 pounds at 5’5” in height, has type II diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.  She has concerns about her weight and has tried numerous ‘fad diets’ to no avail.  She explains she has lost, at most, 15 pounds and has been able to keep it off for three months.  · She has three children, one of which is severely disabled, and a husband who has a terminal diagnosis. She expresses worry that her weight will impact her ability to care for her disabled child when her husband dies.  She reports she eats out frequently due to her children’s busy schedules.  She is a stay-at-home mother but gets little exercise and performs no regular physical activity.  · She reports feelings of shame that she can no longer orgasm on the rare occasions her husband has the energy and desire to be intimate.What would be your approach to managing this patient’s weight concern?

Please see the explanation below. 

Step-by-step explanation

Approach to solving the question:

· Identification of clinical problems that a bipolar patient attained, classification of nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatment of a patient, planning for therapies essential in treating the patient, and evaluation of the process for positive outcomes.

1. What would be your approach to managing this patient’s weight concern? (Discuss at least two aspects of your approach). Please support your answer with research-based evidence. 

1.
Non-pharmacological Approach

·
Detailed explanation: this is an approach that is essential in managing a patient’s weight concern without the involvement of drugs to treat the weight problem. This aim is to provide alternative prevention in treating weight gain without any chemical side effects on the body. 
(Focus (American Psychiatric Publishing). 2021)

·
Examples: (1) Physical activity such as aerobic exercises, can help the patient maintain her within the normal range which will enhance her conditions of type II diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia and help in improving her sexual desire, (2) Healthy food intake such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nonsalty and fatty foods, can reduce the risk of weight gain, and increase blood pressure and cholesterol which can improve her well being, and (3) Peer support which is very helpful in getting motivation from those people who are experiencing the same situation with the patient which increase the chance of preventing to expose her self to stress and anxiety. 

2.
Pharmacological Approach  

·
Detailed explanation: this is an approach that is essential in managing a patient’s weight concern with the involvement of drugs to treat the weight problem. This aim is to provide drug prevention to avoid the progression of the presenting clinical manifestation and development of complications. 
(Focus (American Psychiatric Publishing). 2021)

·
Examples: (1) Phentermine-topiramate which is helpful in cutting the cravings, and lessens the appetite during stress and anxiety. This is helpful to increase the chance of weight gain especially when the patient attempted to expose herself to overeating.

2. What would be our approach to the sexual side effects she is experiencing?

· The approach
 to the sexual side effects the patient is experiencing are lifestyle changes, avoidance of stress or anxiety, drug therapy, physical activity, and psychological support. Sexual side effects based on the scenario are linked to the stress, anxiety, and weight gain of the patient. It is important that as a healthcare provider, you must assess the related factors to the presenting problem. For a patient with bipolar disorder, it is important to have a care plan to follow so that the patient will be encouraged to do. Lifestyle changes such as physical activity and eating healthy food are the most important since the patient tends to eat out frequently due to her children’s busy schedules, gets little exercise, and performs no regular physical activity. If the patient is healthy, their sexual desire will improve and help her to have orgasms since her hormones are healthy. Avoidance of stress and anxiety is helpful in sexual desire because a patient who is stressed can affect the sympathetic nervous system limiting the blood flow to the genitals to achieve genital arousal. Also, therapies are helpful in correcting abnormal hormones in the body system. 
(Lancet Public Health. 2021)

3. If you suggested additional medication, look up your state’s prescribing laws. Are PMHNPs able to prescribe the medication you recommended?

· Since the patient is already taking combinations of olanzapine which is useful in treating schizophrenic episodes and fluoxetine which is an antidepressant used in bipolar disorder and linked to weight loss, the additional medication that I may recommend is Flibanserin which is an antidepressant helpful in correcting the imbalance of the neurotransmitters in the brain increasing the chance to sexual desire. The PMHNP can prescribe this medication in all states because Flibanserin should be prescribed by a psychiatrist physician and certified nurse practitioners. Another additional medication that I would like to conclude is hormonal therapy like estrogen therapy because the abnormal level of hormones in the body affects the body in sexual desires and can lead to stress and anxiety.
