Based on my answer in number 3, the public health core values that influenced my opinion are like my answers for number 1; health + safety and transparency + trust. It deals with people in educated and higher positions looking out for the community builds trust if they are upfront with whatever the health status is within the community. They cannot separate the fact that for the overall health and safety of the populations, they need to have evidence and the data to directly tell the people. As professionals, it is their obligation and not an option to leave out information regarding their health and even their life.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the CDC case study should notify a patient if a study is being conducted because it is their right to know what is based on their treatment and the conditions that they are in. Based on prior information, if any issues come up, the patient is the determinant of their healthcare and providers and if they are not aware, then the trust established will diminish and bring up lots of nasty ethical and legal issues that can be involved.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values that correlate to my response in #3 would be ‘Human Rights and Civil Rights’ as well as, ‘Professionalism and Trust’ because it deals with the people in flint who are still undergoing a major crisis and those in charge should stay professional so that the people can trust them in making the correct decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders that should be involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified are healthcare professionals who specialize within these areas of conflict, as well as the government who should be pushing to help the people of Flint in need of it. Clean water should be accessible to all.

# data[].attributes.body
Most definitely! A patient should be notified at all times about any news going on within their treatment and/or condition. Any withheld information should not be kept private and the patient should have the right to know if any problem arises and diagnosis should be done so that they can be prepared for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the public health core values, I believe that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona  have both ‘Health and Safety’ and ‘Inclusivity and Engagement’ in common due to their involvement within the Flint Water Crisis. They both gave out statements regarding the dangers of lead and gave information to all without keeping it to themselves. This let the people know how to stay safe during the first outbreak.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and related obligations that influence my position in my answer to question three is transparency and trust. Being transparent to the residents in the Flint area is important especially when it comes to a person’s health. And trust because it takes a lot to gain trust and people trust their health professionals because they are knowledgeable and have built that trust with them.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders that I think should be considered and involved in deciding the notifications of Flint residents of the lead exposure are the healthcare professionals as well as government organizations like the CDC. As healthcare professionals, they identify and notify the community if something hazardous were to come up that endangers their health like how Dr. Mona pushed to notify the patients of their potential risks and dangers when being exposed to lead. In an ideal situation, government organizations are responsible for informing the public but as we can see with government officials in Flint as well as the EPA, it has failed to do so to the public for unknown and unethical reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
The two public health core values and related obligations that influenced my position were health and safety and transparency. Health and safety influenced my position because that is the top concern for the residents. Transparency was my other influencer because the community deserves the right to know of what is happening law-wise and health-wise.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water is government officials as well as doctors. I believe this because doctors would be able to explain the health hazards with the water and the government officials are able to make legal changes to assist in that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the patient notification should be conducted. This is important because it allows one to understand health problems that could possibly affect them. Patients should be aware if anything is wrong because it is a matter of respect. Economics in this situation should not be above human lives.

# data[].attributes.body
2 public health core values and related obligations that influence my position to question #3 is professionalism/trust as well as inclusivity/engagement. It is the jobs of the Government and heath professional to inform the public so it makes sense that they would be the stakeholders in the situation. Unfortunately the government was not professional about the situation causing more harm that good. I also added inclusivity and engagement because it is their job to be involved in the community and with the people in the community to protect their safety. It is important that they are actively participating because it builds trust and a relationship.

# data[].attributes.body
The CDC case study’s core values and What The Eyes Don’t See have in common are transparency and health and safety. In both areas, they lacked transparency on informing the public of the health hazard. This is also a part of health and safety because the situation affects the health of the community in those areas.

# data[].attributes.body
The CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona share the values of health and safety along with transparency and trust. In Mona's case, she wanted to be transparent to the current and potential harm that is currently plaguing Flint. The situation with the lead exposure causes both the CDC and Dr. Mona to consider the safety and the negative effects of the community and as professionals, they need to address that for the overall safety of the community. Being trustworthy and transparent is also crucial so that the patients are aware of their conditions and can do their part to help fix it. If one or the other isn't there, then the trust cannot be established if the information given out is vague in any way.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders that should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water should be the government and health professionals. My reasoning for this is because it is their job to make sure that the residents health and safety are taken care of. Also, they are a knowledge source to spread the word and to hopefully get the residents health improved.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that the CDC case study patient notification should be conducted. My reasoning for this is one because it ties into ethics. It’s important because people put their trust into healthcare workers and it’s important to continue to maintain that loyalty. Also, when something affects a person’s health you have to be transparent and it would be unethical if you aren’t because it could negatively affect the people.

# data[].attributes.body
The public health core values and related obligations that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona has in common is transparency which is a core value. Also, health and safety both are important in public health.  Transparency and health and safety has been read and have seen with the Flint water crisis from Dr. Mona perspective. Transparency needs to be shown with the Flint water crisis because the lead in the water is very dangerous and negativity affects people's health. And health and safety the health services need to take the measures to protect the people and give them the services they deserve.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders that should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified is health professionals (Dr. Mona) and Government. They should be the ones promoting better public health but unfortunately in the case of Flint and the Government, the government did not do its job in notifying the residents. Those two stakeholders are held in high regard because they are professionals and should know what to do in cases like these. It is their duty to the public to ensure the residents safety.

# data[].attributes.body
Professionalism and Trust because it is about being honest about a health issue and exposure to lead is harmful and it is the duty to inform the public, also having a solution because it is important to respond to an issue.  Health and Safety because promoting and protecting health status is relevant in public health and it is the obligation one has towards the profession.  Health Justice and Equity because all communities are valuable no matter if they high- or low-income brackets, the same protection applies to all and it must be enforced that if there is an issue it will be addressed. It is about protecting the health of everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the stake holders would be the mayor and public health dept, since Dr. Mona brought up the issue to the county health then it was their duty to push the agenda to have the matter investigated and should have also let the mayor know that a warning advisory needs to out to Flint residents.

# data[].attributes.body
Realistically, if there is a potential exposure or it is unknown how many patients may have been impacted, then notification needs to take place. I would rather be cautious to make sure no patient is overlooked. I would base this on the evidence of the nurse has been working there for 5 years and she as been seen in other parts of the hospital on days she was not scheduled. The fact that the nurse was caught and alleges she only started to divert a narcotic drug a couple of months ago is irrelevant because the nurse has lost her credibility the moment, she decided to cause harm whether it was intentional or unintentional.  Since the nurse was in other areas when not scheduled then one can presume wort case scenario that other controlled meds were diverted. I think the duty to protect all patients is what matters and testing patients for possible pathogen exposure is a way to build trust among community and a way to make things right by being direct and honest about an issue and creating a solution to keep it from happening again.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the CDC AND Dr. Mona have the core values:  Professionalism and Trust, and Health and Safety. I would say professionalism and trust because in order of the public to feel like they are being protected by health officials, they must trust the information that is provided, and it must come from professionals who have the public’s interest in mind and protecting one from misinformation. I think reporting and making people aware with all the facts is an important part of building trust and rapport with communities, and if there is a potential risk of exposure it was must be announced to the public because it is the only way they will feel protected, omitting and hiding potential problems makes one lose credibility. I think the other core value Health and Safety apply because that is important for all humans to be protected from disease or harm to benefit their future, there is no way around this core value because one must protect others who are vulnerable you cannot pick and chose what community will be helped, public health has the obligation to protect the health status of all communities.

# data[].attributes.body
The two public health core values and related obligations that influence your position in your answer to question three would be transparency and trust. Both are very important as professionals or those who are knowledgeable are the ones that residents are going to lean on for help, especially in an emergency/crisis situation. Residents will expect the truth on the condition of the current situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the stakeholders that should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water are local government officials and Dr. Mona. Dr. Mona is very knowledgeable and was the one fighting for Flint to have clean water. The local government officials may not have been as concerned about this situation as Dr. Mona, but they are still needed in order to approve decisions and alert residents.

# data[].attributes.body
For the CDC case study, I believe that a patient notification should be conducted. To not notify and inform patients would be highly unethical. Patients put their trust into healthcare professionals to know what they are doing. To not inform patients on the condition and use of the syringes that were being used causes more issues than if they were to be informed right away.

# data[].attributes.body
The two core values that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona (What the Eyes Don't See) have in common are transparency and health and safety. In the CDC’s case, there was an issue which caused there to be transmission of bloodborne pathogens to the patients. For Dr. Mona, she wanted to inform the Flint community on the exposure of lead being found in their water. It is important for those who are involved and exposed to be informed about what is going on for the safety of their own health.

# data[].attributes.body
The two public health core values that influenced my position in question 3 was trust and health and safety. Trust is an important value because it is up to the government and professionals in the medical field to establish trust with the residents of Flint. Health and safety is also an important value because it is job of the government and doctors to promote the public health of the Flint residents.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values that influence my answer are health and safety and professionalism(transparency). It is important to be aware and care about the health and safety of a community of people. This ensures that everyone is as healthy as they can be. Agencies should be transparent with their information and build trust within the community in order to prevent an unethical dilema.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values and related obligation that are in common with the CDC case study and Dr. Mona are health/safety and inclusivity/engagement. With both the cases it was important that the protection of public health was put in the forefront. In doctor Mona's case, she did her best to protect her patients and the people of Flint by gathering/doing research in a short amount of time, informing her patients on steps needed to protect wellbeing, and informing the general public to change. Mona was the only person who was truly transparent when all the officials were trying to deflect and keep secretes. In the case study of CDC, when they found out about the outbreak, they decided to inform those who were in contact, do investigating to prevent the issue, as well as contacting other officials asking what to do in the situation to promote safety.

# data[].attributes.body
The stake holders who should be involved in deciding if the Flint residents should be notified of the contaminated water are the government and doctors. The government is responsible for notifying its citizens of the potential dangers of something like the contamination of the public water supply. The government should also consult doctors and other health professionals on these topics as well, so that the information is accurate and trustworthy.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders that should be considered is the government, Dr. Mona, and healthcare professionals. Government officials and Dr. Mona can work together to advocate for cleaner water. The healthcare professionals can provide medical information that is related to the exposure the water had on Flint residents.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and related obligations that the CDC case study and Dr. Mona have in common are health and safety, as well as health justice and equity. In both cases, there is the evident move towards health and safety through the disclosing of information, allowing for proper treatment or action to prevent/mitigate the harms that may affect the public. I would argue that there is also a case to be made for health justice and equity, depending on the approach taken in the CDC case study towards the provision of pathogen testing. In the case of Flint, there were factors due to inequity that had an influence over the action of government officials, to which Dr. Mona works to overcome.

# data[].attributes.body
The government and Dr. Mona should work together as stakeholders because the government can help spread the word while Dr. Mona has lots of knowledge of the situation. Dr. Mona worked very hard to find the truth and knows the situation thoroughly and the government can help enforce what she thinks is an appropriate way to approach the issue.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that patients should be notified as there is a strong connection to narcotics diversion in a clinical setting. If the concern is unwarranted patient anxiety, then testing the nurse beforehand to determine if they are at least a carrier would be a good first step. Ethically, there is an obligation to notify patients if there is a risk of contraction. Economically, testing of patients/staff and epidemiological studies may raise some concerns. However, to make a choice over not notifying those who may be impacted because of money would be unethical.

# data[].attributes.body
Truthfully I think patients should be notified about a situation that might be a big issue. However I think its important to understand the situation a bit more because flat out telling the patient without a clear understanding may make the patient panic even when they aren't affected. Yes transparency is always important but it is also important that the hospital has a understanding of what they are being transparent about. If the hospital is not transparent and the issue is spread it can cause a huge ethical issue making it seem like they don't care about patient safety.

# data[].attributes.body
In an ideal situation, the stakeholders who should be involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water are those who have the best interest of the public at heart. Professionals like Dr. Mona are key in the decision as these are the individuals most informed and knowledgeable about the consequences of lead poisoning, as well as how to proceed with the issue. While we expect local and federal government to act for public good, as observed in the Flint water crisis, this is most definitely an example where these institutions failed.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and related obligations that influenced my position in my answer was professionalism/trust and health and safety. Having professionals who can not only determine how to approach these issues, but also hold themselves to an ethical standard that is transparent, capable, and considerate, is key to building trust within a community. Health and safety go hand in hand with this, the responsibility to better the well being of a community begins with involving those involved. If Flint residents themselves could be consulted about the issue, I would include that within my answer for question 3.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes patient notification should be conducted. Patient notification is an extremely important thing when it comes to potential health crises. Notifying patients when something is wrong is the ethical thing to do and it is the duty of every person who works in healthcare to look out for their patients and do them no harm. Economics should not even be a factor when in comes to the health and wellbeing of human beings.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a patient notification should absolutely be conducted. Patients have every right to know every detail of what is going on with their condition and their health care. It should be of utmost concern to notify and inform the patients. This is a matter of respect to the patient. Economics should not be the highest priority.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values the cdc case study and What the Eyes Don't see have in common is transparency and health and safety. Both the water crisis in Flint and the unsafe injection outbreak show transparency because they both informed people on a potential public health danger. They also show health and safety because they both have people trying to solve the problem so the least amount of people would be affected.

# data[].attributes.body
The two core values that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona have in common are transparency or trust, as well as, health and safety. Both Dr. Mona and the CDC had an obligation to tell the public about the issues to ensure their safety and health. If they withheld this information it could be very dangerous because people could get very sick.

# data[].attributes.body
Health & Safety and transparency are two core values that are common in What the Eyes Don’t See and the CDC. In WTHDS Dr. Mona is certain that the EPA would transparent with how clean the water was because they are a government agency. However that wasn’t the case because Mona soon discovered that the EPA was not being transparent and that they were not being trustworthy. For health and safety, Mona is a well know Pediatrician who is concerned about the health and safety. The CDC is a government agency who is also concerned about the health and safety of people

# data[].attributes.body
The two core values that inspired my answer to the previous question are safety and trust. It is the obligation of the people who know about these issues to share this vital information with the public so that everyone can stay safe and healthy. If people can not have trust in their leaders and doctors then it is a serious problem! If the government wants to stay in power then they must build trust and be completely honest.

# data[].attributes.headline
Yes, I think that patient notification should be conducted. It is very important that patients know everything that goes on when they are being seen by a healthcare professional, especially if that person has a certain illness. Healthcare professionals are trusted by many because of the position in the medical field so there should be no reason to hide anything.

Two public health core values are professionalism and trust, and health and safety. As government officials, they should have a specific team of medical professionals to deal with these situations. This means for them to have complete trust of doctors and physicians. They are well versed in these areas so they should be able to trust them to make the right decisions and have professionalism to know when it is necessary to step in without being to overbearing. In addition, at the end of it all, it is mainly about the health and safety of the people. When peoples wellbeing and safety are being compromised, peoples main focus should be to improve their health and safety. Nothing else.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders should include doctors (medical professionals) and the government. However, medical professionals should have more say. They are the ones that know whats best when it comes to these situations, and as we can tell from the reading, government officials only really care about publicity and money. The government runs the politics of situations, but majority of the time when situations are related to health and wellness, politics should not be involved at all, which is why it is more important for medical professionals to have a larger say.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes patient notification should be conducted. No one wants to be lied to, especially when it comes to health and safety of ones own life and body. Medical professionals and hospitals have control of so many peoples lives, and ultimately if something goes terribly wrong, it is the hospital and medical personals problem. People trust health professionals with their lives, and they must be held accountable when someone messes up. There isn't really room for error in these situations. Health care is incumbent on the patients life, and nothing else.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values between the two readings are professionalism and trust and health and safety. When it comes to what the eyes don't see a lot of people didn't trust Dr. Mona's findings and research. As a very knowledgeable doctor, she should've been taken more seriously and they should have trusted her word. Instead the government and city officials  let the fear of what the public would say drive their motives to keep pushing away the issue. In relation to the CDC article, professionalism was overlooked when nurses began to hide things from their workplace. They would do things that weren't allowed behind other professionals back, this led to a lot of serious issues. When it comes to health and safety, both readings let their fear gain importance over individuals health and safety. No matter the consequences of a situation or underlying motives, the peoples health and safety should always be prioritized.

# data[].attributes.body
The two public health core values and related obligations that influenced my answer for #3 were trust/transparency and health/safety. The government was not transparent at all during the whole situation and even tried to hide the problem of high levels of lead in the water. They neglected the health and safety of their community and now the community feels as if they can no longer trust the local government. If the officials were just transparent from the start and let the community know the situation, then they may still have their trust. On the other had, Dr. Mona and the rest of her team made the health and safety of the community a priority and tired to be as transparent as possible.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values and related obligations that influenced my position in question 3 was (1) professionalism and trust and (2) health and safety. It is important that government officials and Dr. Mona establish trust and transparency because they are the ones responsible for the health of Flint's residents. Also, it is their responsibility to respond to situations that do not have enough scientific information and seek to improve that lack of evidence for better practices. Health and safety is also a value that influenced my answer because both Flint's government officials and Dr. Mona are in positions that aim to improve and protect the well-being of Flint's residents. They are the ones in power that should be promoting and protecting public safety, health, and well-being.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders that should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified are government officials and Dr. Mona. Both government officials and Dr. Mona knew about the water crisis that most Flint residents were not aware of. Because they are in these positions of power/knowledge, it is their duty to inform the public to prevent significant exposures to lead. Dr. Mona researched data and evidence about lead exposures and government officials have the power to implement policies and they have the power to inform the public.

# data[].attributes.body
I absolutely believe that a patient notification should be conducted. It is important that a patient's autonomy is respected. It is the responsibility of hospitals and other healthcare facilities to take care of patients and minimize/prevent illnesses. It is unethical to lie or hide important information from patients. I believe this can be considered malpractice because the hospital knows about the exposure of bloodborne pathogens and they know about the nurse who self-administered fentanyl using patient only syringes. Choosing not to conduct a patient notification could lead to the hospital being sued for malpractice. Also, putting economic reasons over human life and health is unethical.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders who should be considered and involved in the decision of notifying Flint residents of the possible exposure should be Dr. Mona and the rest of her team because ultimately, they were the ones who fought for clean water. The local government should also be involved because it is their responsibility to notify their residents of a potentially dangerous situation of the high lead levels in their water.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that a patient notification should be conducted because patients have the right to be notified about what was done to them or if something needs to be done. It is unethical to withhold important information from patients, especially when it is about something that could potentially affect their health in a negative way. There is enough evidence for the hospital to know where the HCV and bloodborne pathogens exposure came from, so it is their responsibility to inform their patients. If the patients find out that they were not notified of the possible exposure, then they could sue, resulting in a major economic loss for the hospital.

# data[].attributes.body
The two core values and related obligations that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona have in common are transparency and the health/safety of the community. Transparency is extremely important when dealing with the health and safety of individuals. There was a lack of transparency with the government in the CDC Case Study with the HCV exposure as well as in Dr. Mona's situation with the Flint Water Crisis that dealt with the lead exposure. It is important to make the health and safety of the community a priority and in order to do that the professionals and the people higher up need to be more transparent about situations that could be harmful to the public.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values that influence my answer in question #3 is transparency and professionalism. Transparancy as Dr.Mona and her team have the ability to present accurate information and proof of how the people have been affected by this crisis. Professionalism as the government should forever acknowledge that their job is to help the people and make sure they're safe, as the people are the reason why they are in office.

# data[].attributes.body
Two core values that the CDC case study and Dr. Mona have in common is (1) professionalism and trust [transparency] and (2) health and safety. Both the CDC and Dr. Mona demonstrated professionalism and trust by providing honesty and making sure that practices and actions are being followed ethically. They aim to bring more awareness and honesty of potential harms to not only allow people to protect themselves but also to create action and minimize those harms. Also, health and safety is another core value where both the CDC and Dr. Mona accomplished by thinking of the well-being of the public. For example, Dr. Mona fought hard against officials that did not take the Flint water crisis seriously for the sake of the health of Flint's residents and children.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders in regards to the Flint water crisis should be the government and Dr.Mona/those that have been helping her. The government has the power in implementing policies and helping with the switch while Dr. Mona and her team are knowledgable with the health aspect as they have numbers to prove how this has been affecting their patients/the citizens.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, patient notification should be conducted. No questions about that. A patient has the right to know what is occurring or has occurred with their body. It is extremely unethical to hide information that is related to their health, especially when it is negative news. Economics should not be in consideration, as humans have one life, and will do anything to safe that life. Healthcare should not be built around economics, it should and is supposed to be built around correct ethics, transparency, and safety.

# data[].attributes.body
The two related obligations and health core values that influenced my position in my answer is safety/health and trust/professionalism. These two influenced my answer because they are both crucial in an issue as dangerous and sensitive as this. Full disclosure, professionalism and transparency are required to sustain a level of trust and public health safety in the community. It should be required indefinitely becauase it is the responsibility of the government to protect its people and the people have a right to know as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values that influence my position to the previous question would be transparency/trust and health/safety. Both of these core values are vital when it comes to such a hazardous situation. Firstly, because if local officials are not transparent with the public they are putting the health of people in their community at risk and leads onto being morally wrong withholding such information. Also, from a health/safety standpoint without notifying the public they are not only risking the health but also the credibility of future scenarios where the people may not trust the authorities in the next situation as they decided to put innocent lives at risk.

# data[].attributes.headline
Yes, I do think that patient notification should be conducted. All patients should have the right to know anything that may affect their health. Withholding information such as possible exposure to pathogens is completely unethical and would result in a patient losing that sense of trust with their physician. Physician's should always be thinking of ways to improve their patients health and build the relationship to ensure a worry-free experience.

Two public health core values that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona from What the Eyes Don’t See are transparency alongside health and safety. In regards to the CDC’s case study, they are focused on being transparent with the public when it comes to hazards and provides knowledge to the community. Also Dr. Mona was transparent into wanting the community to be aware about the Flint water crisis and spread information about its effects. I believe that also ties into the health and safety core value as both groups provide this essential information to help keep the community informed and protected.

Two public health core values and related obligations that influenced my position were professionalism/trust and health/safety. The residents of Flint trust its leaders to protect their health and keep them safe, especially when it comes to the water they are using for consumption. In What the Eyes Don’t See, the government ultimately failed its citizens with how they responded to the water crisis. Rather than acting responsibly and working to fix the problem, they tried to cover it up with lies and false data. They also initially failed to take into account the data and research that Dr. Mona provided them. Because of that, I think it is important for the local government to utilize outside data, especially when it comes from credible sources such as Dr. Mona herself.

# data[].attributes.body
In terms of deciding if Flint residents should be notified, I believe Dr. Mona and her team should be involved. It was ultimately them that fought tirelessly to uncover the truth, and had credible data and research to back it up. They are entirely aware of the harm that lead contamination brings, and should have a say in the decision to notify Flint residents. I also think that local government officials should be responsible for notifying its residents. Even though they tried their best to cover it up, they are still obligated to inform the public about the potential health risks the city's water brings.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think that a patient notification should be conducted. There is more than enough evidence to justify notifying patients. Infected patients share a matching HCV strain, which suggests a common source. We know that the nurse was stealing fentanyl and returning the used syringes to patient care, which was then most likely used on patients after their surgery. In terms of ethics, it is the hospital’s responsibility to notify their patients that they may have been exposed to HCV or other bloodborne pathogens - especially since it is a result of negligence on the hospital’s end. It would be unethical to dismiss the potential risk, and not notify the patients. The hospital could easily be sued for malpractice, resulting in economic losses.

# data[].attributes.body
the two public health core values that influenced my position for question 3 are trust and safety. I feel that Dr. Mona provided both by letting residents who were affected, be known of the situation as well as taking responsibility over the situation for the safety of the people.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders that should be considered when deciding if Flint residents should be notified include Dr. Mona and her full team alongside local government local officials. If officials obtain information that there is potential exposure to lead in the community's drinking water they should be the ones held responsible to relay the message to the rest of the population residing in the area.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water are the government, the team surrounding Dr. Mona, and all others who are invested in this problem and are aware of the dangers of the water. The responsibility ultimately falls under the government because it is their responsibility to take care of its people. Since Dr. Mona has been proactive in this issue she should also be considered as a stakeholder to notify.

The stakeholder in this situation would definitely be the government. They want to hold their reputation of managing everything and with this situation occurring, it would ruin it. They were well aware of what was happening but did not want people to know about it because they knew they were not taking responsibility over the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
In this CDC case study the patients absolutely deserve the right to know with patient notification. It would be completely non ethical if they were not notified of this. Without this notification, the hospital would lose all credibility and no one would trust them if they withheld sensitive information such as this. They need to be informed right away so that they can take the necessary steps to get better. Additionally, it would ne unethical if they were trying to hide this information due to costs and economics because that is of course less important than people's lives.

The 2 public health core values/related obligations that influence my position the most include professionalism/trust and health/safety. Transparency plays a key role in maintaining the trust between medical professionals and patients as well as with the government. Health & safety also influence my position because lead exposure is detrimental to health.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders involved include local government officials and Dr. Mona’s team. Local government officials are responsible for implementing policies and guidelines that the community can follow to protect their health. Dr. Mona is knowledgeable about the detrimental effects of lead, is passionate about patient well-being, and has done supporting research.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe a patient notification should be conducted. Withholding information about possible exposure to pathogens is unethical. If people later find that the source of their infection was from a hospital staff member, it could be catastrophic causing distrust in the hospital, loss in the number of patients meaning a financial blow to the hospital.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and related obligations that are shared by the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona (What the Eyes Don’t see) are professionalism/trust and health/safety. Trust between health professionals and patients/citizens is an important aspect for both events. Transparency about potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens, as well as lead contaminated water, is what the public deserves. It is their health on the line, and health professionals are obligated to maintain trust between their patients and alert them of any potential harm. This ties in with health/safety since being an uninformed patient could lead to greater health issues and even death. Patients trust their providers to help them reach their health's full potential, not put it at risk.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and obligations that are related to both the CDC and Dr. Mona is transparency and safety. Though safety may seem obvious, both the CDC case study and the Flint water crisis related to safety as one was negatively affecting patients because of lead exposure while the other was because of HCV exposure. Transparency is equally important as safety as it allows health professionals to be honest with their patients and make them aware of how their health may be negatively affected through a health crisis. Both the CDC case study and the water crisis struggled with this in the beginning, causing the crisis to become worse before it became better.

# data[].attributes.body
Two related obligations and health core values in the Dr. Mona (What the Eyes Don't See) and the CDC Case Study are transparency/full disclosure and the public's safety and health for the community. Both the CDC and Dr. Mona brought it to the attention to the public about the problems at hand, Flint's unhealthy water supply and the potential dangers from side effects stemming from the injections. Both wanted to protect the public communities for their health and safety as they felt that it was only their obligation to do so.

# data[].attributes.body
Public health core values that influenced my answer to question 3 are prevention and health equity. The fact that this low income community was allowed to go unnoticed of the lead posing and exposure deserve the same treatment as a more affluent community would receive. Though many people were already exposed they could prevent further poisoning and prevent even more new infants from the poisoning.

# data[].attributes.body
2 core values include professionalism/trust and health/safety. By being transparent with patients about possible exposure to lead/pathogens, professionalism and trust can be maintained. Health & safety is important as well because notifying patients about possible exposure can increase patient testing to stop the spread of pathogens or stop lead exposure.

# data[].attributes.body
There definitely should be a patient notification when they have possibly been infected it is an ethical responsibility that the patients have a rite to know. Patients have the rite to know and be notified of possible medical errors and malpractices so they can seek testing and medical attention. The economics should not be a deterrent from notifying patients even if there are expensive consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
The CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona's book share the common values of doing no harm and of doing what is best for everyone under the circumstances. The CDC has the obligation and duty to warn of disease outbreaks and investigate them. Dr. Mona had the obligation to warn and improve the lead poisoning in Flint.

# data[].attributes.body
I do feel that a patient notification should be conducted due to public safety. Patients deserve to be notified in order to take action upon preventing the conflict from escalating. These patients are supposed to trust their physicians so trust would be lost if there was no notification conducted.

# data[].attributes.body
The public health core related values that Dr. Mona and the CDC Case Study have in common are transparency and safety. Both had obtained transparency through letting the people know they were affected whether it be through the flint water crisis or the HCV exposure incident. They both also practice safety because they are letting the problem be exposed and taking initiative by trying to resolve the problems for the sake of the community of people who were affected in order to protect them.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values that are important to me and influence my response are the trust and that is in terms of my choice for Dr. Mona. Also professionalism and health safety which the government is sworn to provide to the community.

# data[].attributes.body
The government is the main stakeholder in this situation but since Dr. Mona and her team have been so passionate about the Flint water crisis and have been working closely with the community to better the circumstances they deserve to be considered as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, for the CDC study i believe that patient notification should be conducted because the patients have all rights to know what is going on with their health. I personally use my health online often and I believe all patients would find something like that useful. Ethically we deserve to know every detail there is.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders such as the local government and elected officials have an obligation to Flint residents to notify them of the risk and potential exposure to lead in their drinking water. Further more the federal government also has an obligation to ensure the safety of the Flint residents and provide oversight.

# data[].attributes.body
The core values the CDC and Dr. Mona have in common are health safety and transparency. In terms of transparency people should remain in the know at all times with health and community aspects in mind. Both health and government workers should both be open and honest with community members, this is how they build trust.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and related obligations that influence my position are transparency and safety. Transparency is important because information should be communicated and accessible to those who do not know much, especially during emergencies. The government is responsible for informing residents what is happening and for fixing the issues, and healthcare providers are responsible for informing their patients about the harmful effects of lead exposure because patients are relying on them to save their lives.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water are the government and Dr. Mona. Both the government and Dr. Mona has the power to inform the residents about the crisis, since Dr. Mona and her team have done research studies about the exposure and the government is able to alert all residents about the issue.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a patient notification should be conducted because it is fair to let them know about any information that they may be concerned about, especially if it is related to their health and well being. Patients rely on their healthcare providers because they have reliable information and resources that can help them improve their health and lifestyle. If patients are not informed, it can lead to negative outcomes/scenarios. They are also paying to get treated and trusting professionals to help them.

# data[].attributes.body
Two public health core values and related obligations the CDC case study and Dr. Mona have in common are transparency and safety. CDC was able to let the patients know the dangers of the injections to make sure that they are aware of the potential side effects of it and Dr. Mona wanted to let the community know about the lead Flint’s water. Both showed transparency and safety because they were able to let people know about the harmful effects of the injections and lead exposure, which shows that they care about everyone’s safety.

# data[].attributes.body
The core values that influenced my position to question 3 are transparency, and health and safety. I think that even though there was a lot of diversion from local government and agencies such as MDEQ and the EPA, I believe that it is still their responsibility to own up to their mistakes and to make it right for the people of Flint. They hold so much power and are responsible for a number of people. Local government and the agencies listed above also have to back the values of Dr Mona. If they don't, then I believe it completely discredits their positions on the issues, creating more distrust among the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Stakeholders that should be considered and involved in deciding on Flint residents being notified of potential exposure to lead in their drinking water are the local government, agencies such as MDEQ and EPA, and Dr. Mona's team. I understand that local government and agencies denied claims of lead exposure initially, but they need to be involved because I think they hold a lot of power. Dr. Mona's team can be used as a source of information based on the research that she conducted along with her experience as a pediatrician.

# data[].attributes.body
The two public health core values and related obligations that influenced my position on question #3 are the same values I chose for the first question, transparency and obligation to prevent harm because in this situation the public should know that the water is unhealthy to drink and the government can do this by letting residents know to prevent them from harm. It is their responsibility to make sure citizens know that they may have been exposed to lead in their drinking water.

# data[].attributes.body
The stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to lead in their drinking water are the government in flint and Dr. Mona. They should be notifying residents because Dr. Mona has done research studies on the matter and the government has the ability to inform all of the residents that the water is unsafe to drink.

# data[].attributes.body
The two core values that the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona have in common is transparency, and health and safety. In the CDC's case study, there was a huge issue with disclosing information to inform clusters of patients who may have been exposed to bloodborne pathogens. We saw the same in Dr Mona's case as well with how the government (MDEQ, EPA, Governor, etc.) was continuously denying claims that there were was any lead in the water when there was concrete proof that Flint's water was contaminated. Both of these also tie into health and safety as well since the CDC case study revolved around exposure to bloodborne pathogens and Flint's children being exposed to lead. In the CDC case study, we sort of saw how the hospitals failed at being ethical with how they struggled with notifying patients of possible exposure, and because of how employees allowed for syringes to be reused.

# data[].attributes.body
From reading the CDC case study it is clear that the patient notification should be conducted because by doing this you are providing the patient with information they need to know because if not the health of the patient is compromised. Patients at hospitals have trust in the people working there so the ethical thing to do is to be transparent to patients and tell the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
I do believe that a patient notification should be conducted. First and foremost, I think that it is unethical to do so; especially when the possible cause of exposure to bloodborne pathogens is due to the negligence of hospital staff/employees. I think that makes it even worse that they are contemplating on whether or not to do since employees were stealing syringes to use for themselves, and then reusing them again on patients. It is the duty of hospital staff to make sure that their patients are given the best care. I'm not sure how I can live with or continue working at a place knowing that I willingly put my patients at risk because of my own selfish needs. Medical staff should be the ones that we trust the most since our lives are literally in their hands.

My two core values are professionalism and trust and health and safety. Medical workers decided to take that career path. Therefore, it is important to act professional. Lives are on the line, and when people go to hospitals they give their trust to someone else. So, it is important to take care of that life. This also relates to health and safety. Health and Safety takes place everywhere and everyday. That is why it is important to take care of the community and spread awareness. Also for everyone to do their part.
