Week 8 Discussion
Step 1: Read the following quote by Hubert H. Humphrey, United States politician (1911-1978).
“It was once said that the moral test of government is how that government treats those who
are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and

Step 2: Post a response to the discussion board by addressing the following questions:
1. Do you agree or disagree with the Humphrey statement? Why or why not?
2. State your reasons based on your knowledge of the health care system, current research,
observations in the clinical area, and personal experience.
3. Justify your responses with appropriate resources.
Step 3: Read other students' posts and respond to at least two of them by Friday at 11:59 pm MT
Cite any sources in 7th ed. APA format
Response Posts: In your responses to your classmates, contribute to the discussion with your
own original opinions or interpretation of the course materials.
