This is a midtearm paper for me so if you do not want to do the work, please do not send me a handshake. I need an A+

You are the hospital administrator in a medium-sized, urban, for-profit hospital that caters to middle-income groups. You wonder if patients’ satisfaction with the hospital stay will increase significantly if they are given better and more flexible meal options. You decide to conduct a research study to find the answer. The first step is to design the study.

Design a descriptive study to investigate if better meal options will increase patient satisfaction. Include the following elements of design:

1. Develop a research question or purpose of the study
2. Selection of subjects for study (what is the sample)
3. Assignment of subjects to experimental or control groups
4. Study time period
5. Type of data to be gathered
6. Measures of meal options and of patient satisfaction
7. Method of data collection
8. Guidelines for data interpretation

After you complete building the study design, list three design elements you considered in your study that were not readily obvious in the one you read last week“Diagnosed with Breast Cancer While on a Family History Screening Programme: An Exploratory Qualitative Study.”    (Attached is my paper from last week so you can read and review what was wrote in regards to the article)

DISCUSSION 1:

In your initial post of at least 250 words, utilize the Constitution, established case law, and scholarly sources to answer the following questions:

• How does the right to privacy protect a women’s right to have an abortion or not?
• Is this a constitutionally valid interpretation of the right to privacy?  Why or why not?

Do not rely upon personal opinion to make your argument.  Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Responces:

Adrian:

•How does the right to privacy protect a women’s right to have an abortion or not?

The right to privacy is controversial both because it is not explicitly enumerated in the Constitution and because it is used as a vessel through which to grant rights that can be controversial among some Americans, such as the right to contraceptives or the right to receive an abortion (Ivers, 2013). Three good examples of why women’s privacy right to have an abortion is valid is 1. When the health, not just the life, of the mother was severely threatened; (2) when there was a substantial chance that the fetus would be born with severe birth defects; or (3) when the pregnancy was the result of rape or incest (Ivers, 2013).

•Is this a constitutionally valid interpretation of the right to privacy?  Why or why not?

I do no not think this is a valid interpretation of the right to privacy because a woman’s right to terminate her baby or not should not be up for debate if it was truly her right to keep the baby or not. On January 22, 1973, the Court, 7–2, ruled that the right to privacy found in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment was “broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy” (Roe v. Wade, 1973, p. 153). People are not giving the mother the right to privacy because they are saying that the baby has been conceived and should have rights to live just like any other human.  Writing for the Court, Justice Blackmun rejected the state’s argument that the fetus was a person entitled to rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. Rather, it was the woman’s right to reproductive choice that was “fundamental (Ivers, 2013).

For this assignment, choose an article from SAGE Journal Articles on http://studysites.uk.sagepub.com/stanwick/main.htm

by clicking the Student Resources tab then selecting Journal Articles on the left menu. You may choose any article from Chapters 1-3 so long as the article is at least five pages in length.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to practice reviewing articles that contribute to the industry. The authors of these articles are researchers and professionals that have shared or experimented with ideas that demonstrate potential to improve the industry. As a professional in the industry, it is in your best interest to review the literature and trends. This provides you with the opportunity to read about what was successful and how they accomplished it. Plus, it allows you to analyze what was unsuccessful, how you can improve it, or at least avoid repeating the mistakes of others. These skills are vital when contributing to research papers and other scholarly writing. If you have not already, hopefully you’ll contribute to the industry by publishing an article and sharing with your community of peers.

As you read the articles, consider the following questions:

Who were the stakeholders in the article?

What was the firm’s corporate reputation?

How could the topic of this article apply to your personal or professional life?

How could it apply to an organization you have observed?

What conclusions can you draw about the ethical issues facing business leaders?

Your first paragraph should briefly introduce and summarize the article while identifying the author’s main points. Your Article Review should be at least 500 words in length, double spaced, 12pt New Times Roman font, with references and direct quotes in APA format.
