After crossing over to I75N heading toward Atlanta around 7:45 PM, he passed a sign that read, "Macon 25 miles" and realize he had been driving seven hours. At that very instant, he started to think about breakfast for some reason and thought, "maybe I am getting a little tired." Dismissing the thought, he looked down the road and was happy to see that traffic was very light. Unexpectedly, looking up, he saw a blinding bright light shining in his rearview mirror. Before he could react, a fourteen wheeler slammed into the back of his Lincoln SUV, causing property damage and personal injuries. The driver of the truck worked for a company registered in Georgia at 1010 Trucking Lane, Atlanta, GA. Abe was placed in an ambulance and taken to the hospital, sustaining what looked like a life-threatening injury. He underwent five hours of surgery to remove his spleen. He also suffered a broken arm and leg and dislocated his C1 C2 vertebra. The bill for Abe's injuries amounted to more than $350,000, and property damage was an additional $80,000. After spending two weeks in the hospital, Abe returned to his house at Zero landlock, Boca Raton, Florida. Abe consulted his attorney to determine what he should do. Abe told his attorney that he wants to file a lawsuit against the Georgia State Trucking Company, the driver Speedy Gonesailing, and owner, Gotdem Bigbucks, in the Florida District Court rather than in the District Court in Georgia. Abe's attorney Dowe Cheathim stated that he would first have to gather some information and research the law to see if that was possible. Dowe asked Abe to provide the following details to preserve evidence for trial and preparation of making a legal claim, or insurance demand: Accident reports Witness statements On-scene photographs Medical Evidence Insurance Policy Information Treatment Records Billing Statements Lost Wages Summaries Dowe Cheathim calls his junior partner, Ann Howmuch, to his office. Dowe asks her to analyze the following issues in the case: Does this accident belong in court? If so, why? Does it belong in a nonjudicial forum? If so, which one? If not, why not? From a jurisdictional perspective, what court is best suited to hear the case? The Florida District or Georiga District Court? Can his suit be heard in Florida, if so, why? If not, indicate the legal grounds why it can not? How does the court obtain the power to hear a case? What are the standards for review?

Evaluating Science ResourcesIn Unit 1 you learned how to determine whether a resource was reliable and reputable and how to best apply such a source of information to your everyday life. To reinforce this skill, you will apply this knowledge by researching and evaluating two different resources on one scientific topic. Pick a topic that is related to any field of science, such as chemistry, physics, biology, or geology, and think of a question that you would like to find an answer to. For example, “Is global warming causing more earthquakes?” Or “What is the best treatment for my allergies?” Discuss how, and why, you chose your question.To complete this Assignment:Locate two resources about a scientific topic that interests you: one from a scientifically reputable resource and another from a questionable resource.Write a brief summary of these two articles and an explanation of the differences between the reliability of these resources.What characteristics make one more scientifically valid than the other? Be sure to indicate which resource is the scientifically reputable resource and which resource’s reliability is questionable. Present both your resources in APA format.Basic Writing Expectations:400 words minimum.Free of grammatical and spelling errors.No evidence of plagiarism.Use of APA style for References Page and citations.

Action on the IOM Report An Institute of Medicine (IOM, 1999) report was a wake-up call for both the general public and healthcare providers regarding the problem and tragic consequences of medical errors. According to the report brief, "At least 44,000 people, and perhaps as many as 98,000 people, die in hospitals each year as a result of medical errors that could have been prevented" (IOM, 1999, p. 1). The report recommends a four-tiered approach as a strategy for addressing this problem. In this assignment, you will read the report and then evaluate how the healthcare system has responded to each of the four recommendations made in the report. Use sources other than the textbook to find information about how the US healthcare system is acting on the four recommendations in the IOM report. You may use journal articles, government reports, reports or findings of public organizations, and other authoritative sources. The following are sources of information on two of the recommendations: The first recommendation (about creating leadership) refers to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Use the AHRQ websitehttp://www.ahrq.gov/. The third recommendation (about actions of oversight organizations, professional groups, and group purchasers of healthcare) identifies the Leapfrog Group (http://www.leapfroggroup.org/). Respond to the following: Which of the IOM recommendations do you feel provides the greatest impact on patient safety? Why? Assess the US healthcare system's actions regarding the four recommendations in the IOM report. Which recommendation provides the most impact on patient safety? Which provides the least? Justify your answer. What is your overall assessment of how the US healthcare system is performing with regard to patient safety in response to the IOM recommendations?
