Chapter 3, Problem 3CS

Because of the pain medication, Gladys Gwynn may not be able to speak for herself. Since she has no relatives to help, is it appropriate for Dr. Johnstone to make the decision about surgery for her? Given these circumstances, is it possible that when Gladys moved into Sunny Meadows they had her sign a Health Care Power of Attorney to someone at the facility?

A support group could help empower Baylie to accomplish her goals. What people would you suggest for this group and why?

If her weight wasnt causing any health problems, should she consider having the surgery if she thought it would make her look more attractive?

Because the accident happened when Sheri Smith was helping Mrs. Gwynn, do you think Sheri should be held responsible for the accident? Since Sheri is an employee of Sunny Meadows, should that facility be held responsible?
