why do you think dissociative amnesia is so controversial?
REply to:Memory deficits can take many forms and have different causes. One memory deficit is known as dissociative amnesia. This issue is characterized by an inability (or arguably, unwillingness) to recall autobiographical experiences that are stressful or traumatic in nature. This deficit goes beyond ordinary memory loss and can cause distress in normal areas of functioning. To be considered dissociative amnesia, the memory deficit must not be able to be explained by other memory or cognitive disorders or the result of a brain injury/lesion. Dissociative amnesia is often described as a symptom of PTSD and is most common in trauma or violence victims or forensic patients who have committed violent crimes. There is much controversy surrounding this memory deficit because is it mostly evident by self-reporting and is often seen as a way out or voluntary memory suppression. There are three forms of dissociative amnesia. Localized refers to memory loss surround a specific event of life-time period. Selective refers to an ability to retrieve some aspects of an event but not the entire circumstance. These two forms can co-occur. Generalized is the rarest form and refers to the loss of a patients entire autobiographical memory and sometimes their identity (Mangiulli et al., 2021).Because there is no injury or physiological event that leads to or causes dissociative amnesia, the brain mechanisms that cause the deficit have long been debated. However, the most commonly agreed upon neurological explanation is increased activity of the bilateral dorsolateral pFC. Also attributed to this deficit is decrease hippocampus activity and suppression caused by pathways from the right inferior frontal gyrus and the right middle frontal gyrus. These explanations are consistent with the presumption that dissociative amnesia is a reversable memory deficit marked by inability (or unwillingness) to retrieve due to unconscious (or voluntary) memory repression (Kikuchi et al., 2010).Class, why do you think dissociative amnesia is so controversial? Is there a way for a clinician or investigator to determine whether an individual is truly experiencing this memory deficit? Why is this so common among those who have committed violent crimes?

discuss interventions that are used in your current or previous practices to prevent medication errors.
In the landmark report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 1999 To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, it highlighted the need for a national approach in the prevention of errors in patient safety. Medication errors were identified as a significant patient safety concern.For this assignment, read the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) Guidelines on Preventing Medication Errors in Hospitals. In 2-3 paragraphs, discuss interventions that are used in your current or previous practices to prevent medication errors. Include in this discussion which interventions do you believe are highly effective and others that although in theory are highly effective are more challenging. For example, administering medication with no distractions- although this is very important at times this is very difficult to achieve on a busy unit.Please use correct grammatical sentence structures and cite your sources using APA format. You can use this article and your book as your sources. My intent to for you to reflect on yourcurrent medication administration safety practices and their effectiveness as well as the responsibility of nursing in the administration of medications.

Should small-business owners of bars and other establishments be free from copyright laws?
1. (only 2 questions for 1.)FactsNortons Country Corner (Nortons) is a cowboy bar located in Queen Creek, Arizona. The bar is owned by McDade & Sons, Inc., which is owned 100 percent by Nancy McDade. McDade is its sole officer and director. Live bands play country-and-western music at Nortons on various nights of the week. Certain copyright owners of music have authorized Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) to license the use of their copyright songs to broadcasters and to owners of concert halls, restaurants, and nightclubs for live performances of the copyrighted music. BMI attends public performances of music to determine whether any copyrights it is authorized to license are being performed without such license.One night, a BMI representative attended a live band performance at Nortons bar and recorded the songs played by the band that night. The audio recording showed that 13 copyrighted songs that BMI was authorized to license were played by the band at Nortons without the required license. BMI sued McDade & Sons, Inc. and Nancy McDade in U.S. district court for copyright infringement. The defendants argued they had not committed copyright infringement and that copyright law did not apply to owners of small establishments.IssueAre the defendants liable for copyright infringement?Language of the CourtThe Copyright Act gives the owner of a copyright the exclusive right to publicly perform, or authorize others to perform, the copyrighted work. Any person who violates this exclusive right is an infringer. Lack of authorization is established by the undisputed fact that defendants were not licensed by BMI to perform plaintiffs copyrighted musical compositions. Defendants contend that the copyright laws are unfair to small bar owners struggling to get by week by week. Defendants seek an exemption from complying with the Copyright Act, but have not cited any authority for such an exemption. The record reflects that defendants infringements were knowing and willful.DecisionThe U.S. district court held that the defendants had engaged in copyright infringement and awarded $39,000 in damages, attorneys fees, and costs to the plaintiffs, and issued a permanent injunction against the defendants infringement of copyrighted musical compositions licensed by Broadcast Music, Inc.Critical Legal Thinking QuestionsShould small-business owners of bars and other establishments be free from copyright laws?How many restaurants, bars, and other establishments play copyrighted music without the copyright owners permission?2. Exclusionary RuleEvidence obtained from an unreasonable search and seizure is considered tainted evidence (fruit of a tainted tree). Under the exclusionary rule, such evidence can generally be prohibited from introduction at a trial or an administrative proceeding against the person searched. However, this evidence is freely admissible against other persons.The U.S. Supreme Court created a good faith exception to the exclusionary rule.13 This exception allows evidence obtained illegally to be introduced as evidence against the accused if the police officers who conducted the unreasonable search reasonably believed that they were acting pursuant to a lawful search warrant.U.S. Supreme Court, Washington DCIn the United States, suspected criminals are given many rights by the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. Parties in the United States are free from unreasonable searches and seizures of evidence, and any evidence obtained illegally is considered tainted evidence and cannot be used in court. People who are suspected of a criminal act may assert their right of privilege against self-incrimination and may choose not to testify at any pretrial proceedings or at trial. In addition, if convicted of a crime, the criminal is free from cruel and unusual punishment.Critical Legal ThinkingDoes the exclusionary rule allow some guilty parties to go free?Is this an acceptable result when balanced against the protections afforded by the Fourth Amendment?Find and share a case where a person was set free based on unreasonable search and evidence was found? If you cannot find one, try to find a case simlar to the one below.Case Example: DONT USE THIS CASEDavid Riley was stopped for driving with expired registration tags. A search of the car turned up two concealed and loaded firearms. The police confiscated Rileys smartphone and went through it and found gang related information and a photograph of Riley in front of a car they suspected to be involved in a shooting a few weeks earlier. Based on the information retrieved from the cellphone Riley was charged with that earlier shooting, with firing at an occupied vehicle, assault with a semiautomatic weapon, and attempted murder. Riley was convicted of all charges and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Prior to trial, Riley moved to suppress the evidence the police obtained from his cellphone, alleging that the information obtained from his phone was the fruit of an unconstitutional search in violation of the Fourth Amendment. The court denied Rileys request. After appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari to hear the case.
