OSHA will use the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1)) of the Act to cite violations that are not covered by specific regulations. Any citation using the General Duty Clause must meet specific criteria, which are summarized starting on Page 4-14 of the FOM. Review the criteria and discuss a situation that you believe could be cited by an OSHA compliance officer using the General Duty Clause. Provide sound reasoning for your answer, including a discussion of why the situation you chose would be cited using the General Duty Clause and not some specific OSHA regulation.

In the case Marshall v. Barlow’s, Inc. in 1978, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution required a warrant for a nonconsensual OSHA inspection. Changes to 29 CFR 1903.4 allows OSHA to obtain warrants without the owner’s knowledge under appropriate circumstances, which allows inspections to proceed without advance warning. However, in cases where OSHA shows up at a facility with no prior notice and does not obtain a warrant on an ex parte basis, the owner may require a warrant to be obtained prior to allowing an inspection to occur. Some companies have standing rules to require warrants for all inspections.Discuss the positive and negative aspects of requiring a warrant prior to allowing any OSHA inspection to occur at a facility. Provide sound reasoning for your answer.

You all have had an undergraduate nursing theory class, of course.  For this discussion, and before you do a lot of reading, let’s talk about what your thoughts about philosophy and theory are right now.  And don’t think if you say that theory is useless that you won’t get a good grade.  I grade on the quality and logic of your posts, not on what you think I want to hear.  These are your opinions and experiences, so I don’t expect to see any citations or APA for this first discussion.Organize your thoughts around these questions:Do you remember if your UG curriculum was framed using a specific nursing theory?  If so, tell us how was that operationalized in the classroom and clinical (if you can remember).  Do you or have you worked in an institution for which nursing care was theory-guided?  Again, how did that theory get operationalized in your practice?Overall, is philosophy and theory useful or useless to guide nursing practice, research, and scholarship?  Is nursing an art or a science – or both — or neither?I want you to be concise, but fully answer the questions.  Keep focused.

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2014/11/the-ethics-of-using-placebos/Read this article (Links to an external site.) about the placebo.jpgcontroversy of using placebos for people being treated for cancer. Here are some quotes from the article which ends with a question:”It’s unthinkable to give a placebo to someone to treat their cancer, but could we use one to treat chemotherapy’s well-known side effects? Unfortunately, we may never be able to answer this question because the biggest obstacle to finding out whether it would work is emotional rather than scientific.””A placebo is a medicine that doesn’t contain an active drug ingredient but still has a therapeutic effect. Many studies have demonstrated a strong placebo effect. They can work even when people are told they are being given a placebo (although they work better when people are not told). But the ethics of placebo use is rather complicated.””So what do you think? Should medical staff consider the use of placebos to treat the chemotherapy side effects of cancer patients? Would you be happy if your mother, father, sister or brother was given a placebo while undergoing chemotherapy?”We need placebos to determine of a drug is effective, but is it ethical to give someone with cancer a placebo? What do you think?
