ORDER CUSTOM, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER

Part B- Advanced Directives & DNRs

Research the law of Advance Directives and Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Orders in your state. State laws vary. To research your state law (I am in New York State), go to: http://www.caringinfo.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3289 (Links to an external site.).

First, name the state that you are addressing. Remember to cite the state laws (statutes, cases and regulations) in the reference list.
Second, choose and discuss three differences between Advance Directives and Do Not Resuscitate Orders in your state. Explain the rationale behind the differences.
Third, explain any different approaches you might use explaining these documents to patients and family members based on their educational level.
Should be four to five full, substantive paragraphs in length.

Part C- Informed Consent

Research NY state’s laws on Informed Consent. Then research NY state’s statutes or initiatives or proposals related to Aid-in-Dying. Clearly name the states that you are discussing which is NY. Provide an explanation of both. Then provide a conclusion addressing whether the two doctrines reconcile or interface. In other words, provide a thorough analysis of whether or not they will work together.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
