HS101 HS/101 HS 101 Unit 8 Assignment -{{KAPLAN}} Case Study: During a scheduled appointment a patient is given
the unfortunate diagnosis of colon cancer. The physician has asked you, the Medical Office Manager, to send his
records to the referring oncologist. When you ask the patient to sign the appropriate release of information forms, the
patient informs you that he does not believe in modern cancer treatments and will not be going to the oncologist?s
office. The patient gives you a copy of his living will stating his wishes for end of life and says ?if this is it, this is the way
I want it. Please put this in my file...? There are four types of advanced directives listed in your text. Please list and
describe three of them. Define curative and palliative care. Which type of care does the patient in this case study
indicate that he would prefer?
Explain the difference between withholding and withdrawing treatment. If this patient has a DNR order in his medical
record, but the physician chooses to ignore that order, what type of tort might he be accused of committing (assault,
battery, fraud, defamation of character, false imprisonment, or invasion of privacy)? Why? If this situation were to result
in a lawsuit, what type of statute would determine how much time the patient would have to file a claim? How much time
would a patient have to file a claim in the state in which you reside?
