Question

1) Sarah died recently and by her will, she appointed her son Tom as her sole executor. Tom tells you that when Sarah had been packing to go on holiday to France last year she had become worried about flying. She handed Tom her car keys and the title deeds to her house ‘Lavender Dream’, saying “If anything happens to me you can keep these.” Sarah then wrote a note which stated “I do hereby give my house Lavender Dream to my son Tom”. She stapled the note onto the deeds of Lavender Dream.

 

2) When Sarah came back from her holiday two weeks later, she did not speak to Tom again about either the car or Lavender Dream. Since then she continued to use the car with her spare car keys and on several occasions she lent it to her niece Rose.

 

3) Amber tells you that last year Sarah had stated that she would leave The Grove Plot to Amber in her will. This is because Sarah was so thankful about some money that Amber had given Sarah some money a few years earlier to help her over some financial problems. Sarah then paid for a cottage to be built on The Grove Plot for Amber. In return, Amber was so grateful that she started to spend more time with Sarah taking her out and about, doing Sarah’s heavy chores and shopping for her.

 

4) The night before she died, Sarah had felt very unwell and telephoned Rose. In response, Rose visited and helped to put her Aunt to bed, sitting with her with her as she rested. Sarah asked Rose to open the top drawer of her dressing table and told her that she could have all the things in the drawer. Inside, Rose found an emerald ring and some share certificates.

The following clauses are also contained in Sarah’s will.

 

  1. £20,000 to my niece Kerry so that she can use part of it herself and hold the remaining part on trust for all her cousins.

 

  1. £3,000 to my old pal James secure in the knowledge that he will distribute half amongst our old friends in the Watergate Park Tennis club where we both used to play. James knows them all.

 

  1. a) Identify the issues of law arising in the above problem.

 

  1. b) Consider the possible entitlements (if any) of Tom and Amber and Rose, Kerry and James. (Answer both parts of this question)

Why is advancing your degree and knowledge important for nursing as a profession?

Part 1: Continuing Education (Part 1 should be at least 1 ½ pages and include 2 outside references plus the textbook.)

Continuing education units are required for renewal of license (in some states) and for recertification. Continuing education opens doors to job opportunities. Answer the questions:

  • Why is advancing your degree and knowledge important for nursing as a profession? Explain and give several reasons.
  • How would you respond to a nurse that states: “I only want to live and work in a state that does not require continue education credits and I never want to advance my degree?” Explain in detail what you would say and why.

Part 2: Future of Nursing (Part 2 should be at least 2 pages and include 2 outside references and the textbook.)

Review the author’s vision in the textbook (Chapter 25), of the future of nursing and complete your own research to include the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) report.

  • Do you agree with the authors or do you have a different vision of nursing? Explain and provide examples as to why you do agree or do not agree.

Science of technology

These papers will be graded both on CONTENT and on STYLE (see below for more information about this). If you have questions about matters of style, please consult a style manual (any commonly accepted reference style is acceptable, but for your information I prefer Chicago Style).

Students are asked to keep in mind that this is an argumentative essay. You should have a clear thesis, and make clear points supporting your thesis in each paragraph.

• You can use 1st person perspective (ie: ‘I’) but be wary of resorting to simple opinion to prove/substantiate your premises.

• As mentioned above, style is important, as is correct spelling and grammar/syntax. These things are always important in any situation, but especially so in the context of an academic paper. There are many style manuals available for free online (or in print from the Library) that can help you with these matters.

A BIBLIOGRAPHY IS A NECESSARY: a bibliography that clearly references all of the print and electronic sources you’ve looked at in order to write your paper. You may use both primary and secondary sources in this paper.

• You should use at least three (3) different sources to gain a balanced sense of the topic at hand. All sources (including the course readings, if you decide to use them) should appear in your bibliography. Use the library’s resources. A quick note: I would avoid non-peer-reviewed, Internet-website sources, as they are notoriously unreliable. Having mentioned this, peer-reviewed journal articles found online through the Library’s electronic resources are acceptable.

ADEQUATE REFERENCING IS REQUIRED: If you use another person’s words (or their ideas) you need to reference that by either an endnote or a footnote, or an in-text citation. Your referencing format (ie: APA, MLA, Turabian, Chicago, etc…) is up to you provided that you are consistent throughout and that it is a commonly-accepted method. I will discuss this in class, but please feel free to ask me if you have questions about this.

A few incidentals and tips to keep in mind when writing your paper:

• This is YOUR paper: I’m not looking for you to simply regurgitate information from other people! Make your own arguments and support them with your sources. Very few things are more annoying than an essay that has referenced every single word in the darned thing!

• If you want to quote/reference/cite my online lectures, please provide the appropriate referencing for that (again, this information should be available in any decent style guide).

• Please make sure you keep a copy of your completed paper on your computer, in the event that it gets misplaced for whatever reason.

Please write your essay on one of the following topics:

1) Science is the only way to discover truth (or not). Explain why you agree or disagree with this statement.

2) The development of technology is determinative; its expansion occurs beyond the ability of human freedom to control it.

3) Recently-developed social networking websites (such as Facebook) are corrosive to ‘real’ community.

When an infant, young child or adolescent experiences a health or social issue, the issue can impact upon all family members. Nurses working in acute care and community settings need to understand the functioning of the family unit so they can care for and assist the whole family. This written assignment addresses course learning outcomes 2 and 3: 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the functioning of the family unit using family assessment models that enable families to make health decisions; 3. Plan and evaluate evidence-based nursing for families across the lifespan. Instructions: This 2000 word written assignment has two distinct parts that you should address separately. Please use headings for each part. You do not need to provide an introduction or a conclusion for the written assignment or any of the parts. There are two family scenarios for you to choose from; select ONE scenario and use this for your entire assignment. Part 1 – Nursing Care of the Family: Assessment (500 words) • Create a genogram to visually depict the family’s structure.

Case Study – Sony shoots the messenger
in the 21s century, public relations professionals are often charged with bringing the bad news to managers. Modern managers, by and large, appreciate this candor. But occasionally, as in the case of Sony Pictures Entertainment, they are not so appreciative. Sony’s problems began in November 2014, after the company released the trailer for a satirical comedy about North Korea, The Interview. The movie included the killing of North Korea’s boy ruler Kim Jong-un. North Korea’s supreme leader didn’t see the humor. Shortly thereafter, cyber criminals hacked into Sony’s computer system and leaked 32,000 internal e-mails containing confidential and embarrassing correspondence. The criminals promised to stop leaking documents if Sony canceled the movie release. Sony got cold feet and canceled The Interview’s theatrical release. Eventually, the company changed its mind and initiated a low-scale release of the movie, which was quickly resigned to the Hollywood scrap heap. In one of the leaked e-mails, Sony Co-Chairman Amy Pascal was taken to task for mails surrounding her decision to fire Charles Sipkins, Sony’s director of communications after she was not invited to a Hollywood Reporter roundtable interview with studio heads. Shortly afterward, Pascal was fired as Sony’s co-chairman, basically for what she revealed in her e-mails. Another messenger had bitten the dust.
1. How would you assess Sony’s handling of the hacking scandal?
2. Had you been Amy Pascals public relations advisor, how would you have suggested she handle the fallout from emails, adjusted as “racist”?
3. Had pascal asked you to counsel her on what to do in the light of her husband’s email about the roundtable , what would you have suggested?
