Question One

A hospice is a medical facility which is specialized in offering palatial services. It handles serious cases of terminal illnesses which are prescribed to be leading to the death of a patient. It is a very important facility which benefits the patients, their families and friends. It offers a high quality reliable service to the patient and gives them an opportunity to be cared for by their close relatives or friends. At the same time, it provides bereavement counseling sessions to his relatives in case of death (Saunders, C.M. & R. Kastenbaum, 2007).

However, it faces challenges such as bureaucratic bottleneck legislations, financial and human resource constraints. There is also minimal cooperation from the other medical facilities which authorize late referrals. These can be solved by recruiting highly qualified personnel to carry out all the operations. A part from receiving recommended certifications, they should be given regular inductions on how to discharge their duties. This will be of great benefit to patients.

Question Two

As a law abiding citizen, I deeply understand my roles and responsibilities. As a Christian, I also understand that a child is a gift from God. Although child trafficking has been going on for a very long time, I can not engage in it. My conscience can not allow me to buy a child since it is both illegal and unethical. Just like Mrs. Natalie, it can land me into problems. Moreover, it can injure my reputation as a role model in my community.

According to several researches, many cases of child thefts have been facilitated by nurses who participate in the delivery process. They conspire with cartels involving people like Mr. Bazzle to steal new born babies. However, this can be resolved by strictly observing the medical ethics which advocates for honesty, benevolence and integrity (Maureen, D., 2012). Moreover, it should be the responsibility of the administration to beef up security and implement punitive measures against convicted nurses.
