Explain, as a nurse, what advice would you give to Frank and Sarah.

Case Study:
Ann is a seventy-seven-year-old grandmother. She has one daughter and three grandchildren. Two years ago, she was diagnosed with moderately advanced Alzheimer’s disease, which causes her to have periods of confusion, frustration, anger, and obsessive thinking. Support your responses with examples
When speaking, she is uncertain and her speech patterns are choppy. Before her mental deterioration, Ann was a woman of love, intelligence, and patience. Realizing they were getting older, she and her husband, Frank, discussed their wishes should anything happen to them. She told Frank that if there was no chance of survival, she would not want to be hooked to a breathing machine. They never got around to filling any papers.
Frank is a sweet and sensitive man. His wife’s state frightens him. Ann’s love for him has been the focus of his life for sixty years. His urgent desire for the best care for Ann shows his devotion and love. Their daughter, Sarah, is a businesswoman. She is a hard worker and a good mother. She is forty-five, successful, and intelligent. Although she loves her parents dearly, she lives ten hours away. She regrets not seeing much of them, especially recently. Frank feels his role is to take care of Ann. He has spent the past year with her, watching after her, cooking for her, cleaning the home, and witnessing her deterioration. Finally, Ann is unable to walk alone safely and he finds he must have her admitted to a long-term care facility. He calls Sarah to come and help with the arrangements. After having Ann admitted to a local nursing home, both Frank and Sarah remember the pleading look in Ann’s eyes as they walk away.
After three weeks in the nursing home, Ann starts to cough and run a fever. She is seen by doctors and diagnosed as having pneumonia. She is transferred to a local hospital, where she is given intravenous antibiotics. Although the progress of her pneumonia is halted by the antibiotics, she stops talking and refuses to eat. The physician calls Frank to insert a feeding tube. Frank calls Sarah to ask what to do. They wonder, Is a feeding tube equivalent to a breathing machine? Would it be possible to allow Ann to lie there and die of starvation? Is that murder? What would she want? What is the right thing to do? (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2008).

Discuss the ethical decisions you would make.
Discuss the legal decisions you would make.
Explain, as a nurse, what advice would you give to Frank and Sarah. Support your responses with examples

Explain for how a VLAN could be implemented so that bandwidth is not consumed.
Assignment: VLAN
Consider the following scenario:
Your company moves into a new building. Marketing is on the first floor, engineering is on the second floor, operations is on the third floor, and the call center is on the fourth floor. The LAN is organized neatly, with each floor having its own switch. Some of the groups on the floor are connected through hubs and the network is planned for orderly growth. The company grows faster and much differently than was planned, however, and the call
center must be expanded. Some of the engineering department employees on the second floor and operations employees on the fourth floor move offsite and the call center expands. Space is compressed and users move to other parts of the building, but their communities of interest do not change. The same users still need to communicate with the same services.
Explain for how a VLAN could be implemented so that bandwidth is not consumed. Your plan must ensure that the network is not flooded with packets, and that members of the same VLAN can be located in different buildings or cities.
Include the following:
The benefit of creating a VLAN A plan to segment the network into different broadcast domains to avoid bandwidth consumption A plan to improve security The type of VLAN membership and the value of that choice over other options The type of switch to be used, layer 2 or layer 3, and why you would choose it over the other The types of trunking configured on the switch The purpose and benefit of using the VLAN trunk protocol (VTP) A definition of the VTP mode used to configure the switches.

Identify those responsible for creating and maintaining an emergency plan.
Case Study: Hurricane Katrina
No single emergency is more indicative of the need for emergency planning than the 2005 Hurricane Katrina which struck the city of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of the United States. The response to this natural disaster has been used as an example of poor emergency planning that led to catastrophic mismanagement and subsequent loss of life and property.
Conduct an analysis of the Hurricane Katrina emergency plan that led to the failures to respond to this natural disaster. Use this general outline to conduct the case study analysis.
The analysis should be three to four double-spaced pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) in APA format.
· Introduction (1/2 page)
o Provide a brief overview of the dates and facts of the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe.
o Identify those responsible for creating and maintaining an emergency plan.
· Preparedness for Hurricane Katrina (one to two pages)
o Prior to Hurricane Katrinas arrival, what entities were responsible for emergency response to a hurricane striking New Orleans and the Gulf Coast?
o What emergency plans were in place prior to the arrival of Hurricane Katrina?
o What training and exercises were conducted to prepare for a hurricane prior to Katrina?
o Did the populace know what the emergency plan was prior to the arrival of Hurricane Katrina?
· Emergency Planning Lessons Learned from Katrina (one to two pages)
o What were the major emergency planning failures that were uncovered by Hurricane Katrina?
o What organizational and policy factors led to the planning failures of Hurricane Katrina?
o What lessons learned from the Katrina disaster can now be used to improve the emergency planning for other natural and man-made disasters in the U.S.?
o What actions have been taken by the federal government to improve emergency planning?
Use at least three resources other than the course textbook to support your analysis. Two of these resources should be:
