Both share similar public health core values. For instance, both value the importance of transparency between public health officials and the general public to avoid corruption and misuse of power. In regards to the CDC case study, officials are constantly faced with the dilemma of notifying patients of the potential hazards associated with injections. As for the water crisis in Flint, officials failed to be transparent with the public. In fact, officials bluntly lied to them saying that 'water was safe to drink' when it clearly wasn't. Another core value shared among them is the importance of handling major issues ethically without causing undue alarm. In both instances, it is recognized that the public should be notified immediately of an issue in order to protect their optimal health. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486079327 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486147004 I do believe that patient notification should be conducted in order to establish balanced transparency between health officials and the general public. The public should be informed of potential errors of injections to avoid healthcare associated transmissions like the ones listed in the CDC case study. There has to be a method of disclosing information in an ethical manner that would prevent undue public outrage and concern. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486147004 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486196876 I truly believe that the community affected as well as devoted public health advocates such as Mona, Elin, and Marc should be directly considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified of the potential exposure to drinking water. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486196876 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486224235 The 2 public health core values that influence my position on Question 3 is the obligation to prevent harm and to protect health. As well as the crucial importance of ethics and transparency between health officials and the general public. ]]> 2021-05-03 16:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1486224235 Leslie_Sanroman https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1488140145 2 public health core values and related obligations that both the CDC case study and Dr. Mona have in common are transparency and investigate, diagnose ,and address health hazards and root causes. Dr. Mona was honest about her findings on the lead levels and advocated for the truth even if It went against the state's wishes. In the CDC case study, the hospital administration wanted help from the health department to see if it was necessary to alarm their patients about bloodborne pathogen testing. As far as the related obligations, they both adequately investigated the public health issue until getting to the root of the problem, and addressed the issue.

It is ethical to disclose that information if there is any chance of a patient being infected due to the irresponsible actions of the nurse. It would be costly for the hospital if a patient were to file a law suit, and even to administer these tests, but it would be the ethical thing to do. ]]> 2021-05-04 04:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1488154544 Leslie_Sanroman https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1488164319 The stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint's residents should be notified of the potential exposure of lead in their drinking water, should be physicians such as Mona, because they are the one's knowledgeable enough to know the harm and consequences that can come from people being exposed to lead in drinking water. They, more than anyone, put the health and well-being of people before anything else. The Government and the Mayor, as we have seen in the book, could place financial issues and other considerations before the health of the community.]]> 2021-05-04 04:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1488164319 Leslie_Sanroman https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1488170146 The 2 public health core values and related obligations that influence my position in the previous answer would be trust and transparency. Physicians want the health of their patients more than anything, and like Mona did throughout the book, will be honest about what is going on and the recommendations they give patients. This develops a certain level of trust due to the transparency that Doctors supply when talking about diseases and potential harms. ]]> 2021-05-04 04:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1488170146 denneseducut17 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489614157 2 public core values and related obligations that make the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona parallel instances are transparency and assessment. Transparency is the idea of being truthful and responsible to the public in making reliable information known. This is revealed in the CDC Case Study because they were trying to make patients aware (being transparent) on the potential injection hazards dilemma occurring in the health care field in order to promote the public's safety. Similar to Dr. Mona, she strived to be transparent with her research to officials and other individuals in order to make the public aware of the water crisis that is affecting all those living in Flint. Additionally, another public health core value expressed in both the case study and by Dr. Mona is assessment of the ongoing situation. Assessments are research, studies, and investigations to gather information on the occurring issue or dilemma. Both, the CDC and Dr.Mona conducted research and gathered statistics and information at hand in order to prove that there is an occurring issue at hand and must be addressed. ]]> 2021-05-04 13:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489614157 denneseducut17 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489693886 I do think that patient notification should be conducted. It is ethically right that patients should be made aware on the dilemma at hand because it involves the individual's health, especially since it applies to being transparent about information and affects the public's health condition. Moreover, there was enough evidence to conclude that there was an injection issue occurring in hospitals and clinics by nurses not being completely honest about the use of supplies. It is only ethical that these facilities must be transparent, even if the economic consequences (tests, studies, research, or possible lawsuits) of a hospital, clinic, or other healthcare facility would be great.]]> 2021-05-04 13:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489693886 denneseducut17 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489748071 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 is the local government, Dr. Mona, and all others who are aware of this issue. They are all individuals who understand and are informed of this issues, especially those who have conducted and researched about potential Flint water lead levels. ]]> 2021-05-04 14:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489748071 denneseducut17 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489768033 The 2 public core values and related obligations that influence my position in answer 3 are transparency and trust. I expect those who are knowledgable about ongoing issues that are affecting the public's health to speak up and inform the public on it. This relates to both the idea of being transparent and trusting. As a citizen who can be affected by a public health issue, I would like for professionals to be transparent and inform the public in order to make them aware in order to find ways to mitigate issues and promote public health. Similar to transparency is trust. I also trust that responsible individuals will speak up about what stand needs to be made because they are the ones obligated to keep promoting the public's health. These all connect to the individuals and groups I have stated in the previous question. These are critical professionals who are obligated and responsible in promoting the public's health. Transparency (which Dr. Mona and other individuals were trying to be) is important in building trust with the public to mitigate any other uprising issues as well. ]]> 2021-05-04 14:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1489768033 asiyaamani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492043485 The CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona from "What the Eyes Don't See" share many of the same public health core values and related obligations. To begin, the CDC presented this case study for the benefit of the public's safety and health. In this study, the CDC's goal was to provide information on the potential hazardous effects of injections that have taken place within the healthcare field. On the other hand, Dr. Mona's goals were to inform the public of the hazardous Flint Water Crisis. Throughout both of these events, the public health core values of transparency and awareness were displayed. Dr. Mona and the CDC share similar obligations, in which they are required to "take care" of the public and ensure their safety at any given time. By working with their obligations, they are also required to be transparent and provide awareness to the public. This leads us to their shared core values, transparency and awareness. Both, Dr. Mona and the CDC used their platforms to create awareness for the water and injection crisis. In addition, it is important to note that their awareness was backed up by data, research, and information that allows the public to view them as "trustworthy". On the other hand, the CDC and Dr. Mona provided this awareness through transparency, which is extremely important within the public health field. By ensuring transparency throughout the entire event duration, they both prioritized the public's safety and gained the trust of the intended audience/community.]]> 2021-05-04 23:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492043485 asiyaamani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492069884 Based on the CDC case study, I believe that patient notification should be conducted. As these nurses are essential aspects of the healthcare and public health fields, it is ethically moral for them to be completely transparent about the events and issues that are taking place. As patients and human beings, we place our trust in the hands of these nurses during check-ups, injections, and more. Without receiving information about potentially being infected or exposed to harmful health concerns, this trust will be lost. Based on the study, there is enough evidence and data given to show that these events did in fact take place in the hands of the nurses. Although conducting patient notification of the events that occurred will be costly to the medical facility, it is important to focus on the health of the patients rather than the economic value. The event that has taken place is ethically and morally incorrect, and it is the facilities job to notify their patients of the potential exposure that can affect their lives. ]]> 2021-05-05 00:04:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492069884 asiyaamani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492087736 The stakeholders that should be considered and involved in the deciding factors of the Flint Water Crisis should include individuals like Dr. Mona, local government officials, and specific Flint residents that are extremely involved in the community. Each of these individuals have dedicated a portion of the lives to Flint, in which they have either served as leaders for the community, dedicated time to researching the event, etc. The Flint Water Crisis has been recognized as an important event in history, and there are many different environmental, economic, and health factors that each individual should be required to take charge on. Although every Flint resident should be informed of the crisis, these individuals can take the time to provide credible research, analysis, and data of the events taking place. ]]> 2021-05-05 00:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492087736 asiyaamani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492097127 There are many public health core values and obligations that influenced my position displayed in question 3. However, the main two are similar to my answer in question 1: transparency and credence. As public health officials, I feel as though these individuals are obligated and required to prioritize my safety and health. As a resident/citizen, I would desire that these top officials be completely transparent with me and my peers about the events and potential health concerns that could affect our lives. In addition, I feel as though these individuals are obligated to present credible data and research to back up their public claims. ]]> 2021-05-05 00:21:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1492097127 trantran04 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500272352 The CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona both have very similar core values and obligations. Transparency and interdependence are the two main values that I saw in both of these cases. Transparency is part of being a professional and not creating distrust in the public. Therefore, even if there may not be clear evidence as in the CDC Case and Dr. Mona, professionalism should still be in place to let the public know. This is what the hospital and Dr. Mona both wanted to achieve. Interdependence is another that I saw because one problem always affects another. In the CDC Case, a fault of one health care worker resulted in HVC infections, affected the hospital, and who knows how to further HVC with patients who didn't know they were exposed. In Dr. Mona's case, the people that come to her clinic are affected and her worker. Both the hospital and Dr. Mona want to stop the spread of the situation before it gets worse. ]]> 2021-05-06 21:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500272352 trantran04 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500273673 Yes, because even if the situation may not be completely clear, it is part of professionalism and public safety to notify the patients. Trust may be lost when the situation is revealed to the public, but as a public health organization, the safety of patients should always be more important. Hiding the fact that this happened won't solve the problems and will escalate the problem to be far more damaging than it should've been. In addition, it is an ethical responsibility of a public health organization to notify their patients of potential issues. Without notifying the patients, the hospital is purposely putting patients' lives in danger, which then can involve the laws.]]> 2021-05-06 21:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500273673 trantran04 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500274285 I think the stakeholders are Flint residents and the government. I think Dr. Mona and Marc would be part of the Flint residents' side because they have the same perspective and are against the government officials, but they are not directly influenced by it. Both stakeholders play important roles in influencing Flint city. Alone, the Flint resident can not physically change the water system, but they know what is best for them and it can influence how well a city thrives. While government officials do not know or make good decisions, the government system is needed to implement and carry out the laws.

Inclusivity is needed because one perspective from the government officials is not enough to make good decisions for its residents. It's the government's ethical responsibility to be transparent about the issue and allow those involved to voice their decisions. Also, the decision will affect public health and safety, so it should be decided by those involved. This include who are those who are directly affected and those who are invested in the situation, which are the residents, their government, Dr. Mona, Marc, and other involved.  ]]> 2021-05-06 21:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500274798 christopherbautista1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500401580 Two public health core values and related obligations the CDC Case Study and Dr. Mona have in common are transparency and health and safety. This is because the CDC wanted to inform their patients of the potential danger that they can be put under because of the injections. They are not hiding any information to the public and want the patients to be aware. As for Dr. Mona,  she wanted to make sure that the public knew the truth about Flint's water crisis the same way the hospital wanted the public to be aware of the injections. This brings me to my next core value which is health and safety. In order to make sure that the public is in good health and safe and to prevent any further damage that could potentially come, the hospital and Dr. Mona both show transparency in their situations. Making the public aware of these situations promotes health and safety because they have reliable information that can prevent any harm.]]> 2021-05-06 22:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500401580 christopherbautista1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500415200 I absolutely think that a patient notification should be conducted. Concealing this information from a patient is highly unethical because of the potential harm and danger they are in without being aware of it. Public health core values show safety, professionalism, and trust. The patients are putting their trust into the hospital so in return the hospital should guarantee their safety and stay professional by notifying the patients. There may be some backlash and loss of trust from notifying the patients, but it is morally right to do so. As health care workers, what should be prioritized is the health and safety of the patients not reputation.]]> 2021-05-06 23:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500415200 christopherbautista1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500427014 The stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified is Dr Mona and government officials. This is because Dr. Mona is highly informed on the situation regarding the lead exposure and she genuinely cares about the health and safety of the residents. She can be the one to help guide the residents and educate them to take proper precautions. Although the government is against Dr. Mona, they are still needed because of the influence they have on Flint as leaders. They are who the people are going to follow and as an ethically right government they should advocate for Dr. Mona. They are needed to implement policies and make the big decisions.]]> 2021-05-06 23:07:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500427014 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500428311 The two public health values and obligations that are correlated with one another is the idea of transparency along with the safety of community through scientific truth that is provided from the government. Transparency is important for the idea that there are dangerous operations and chemicals that are used without giving the public a sense of what is going on behind these operations in both cases. Along with that, the health and safety of scientific data shows parallels about having vaccinations along with building a community that supports the cause, that being the sites that were used for vaccinations along with the supporters for the Flint water crisis as well. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:08:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500428311 christopherbautista1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500433172 Two public health core values and obligations that influence my position are professionalism and trust and health and safety. This is because as professionals you should be able to take the criticism that you will receive for the problem. It is also professional to let the residents know about the water crisis because it is a hazard that effects the whole community. This leads me to health and safety because part of public health is ensuring that the communities are safe. Hiding this information and allowing them to continue to be exposed to lead jeopardizes their safety which can lead to potential health problems.]]> 2021-05-06 23:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500433172 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500462438 For the CDC case study, I believe it should be a requirement to notify patients about what is conducted on them. In terms of evidence and ethics, it should be a requirement for giving the nurses full trust when they are giving something that we expect during the vaccination process. Along with that, it would be unethical to give someone an injection without giving them background information as to what statistics there are along with what potential issues could come about when they receive the injection. Without this process, the society would easily be able to refute and create lawsuits if anything were to happen.]]> 2021-05-06 23:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500462438 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500472350 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 would have to first be the local government, along with advocates like Mona herself, and most importantly to make it succeed would have to be the Flint residents that create the Flint population itself. These are the people that would most be affected by this exposure, which should require them to have some sort of input to this process. As for Mona, she would have the statistical and scientific data that backs up these claims to further prove that this is a hazard to the community. Lastly, the government is the most important asset to bring the decisions into effect for everyone.]]> 2021-05-06 23:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500472350 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500479024 The two public health core values and obligations that influenced my answer for question 3 would have to be trust and professionalism. To back this up, a lot of trust is put onto the Flint government to accept and approve the saying of advocates like Mona, along with the Flint population in order to help these groups. This also falls within professionalism that can go both ways within the government along with the residents that push for this cause. If the government is not able to be professional and listen to the people, then this would create a bias that does not favor the population and people. In contrast, if the population of flint is not able to discuss their cause in a professional manner, then this would cause the government to not advocate and support their cause. ]]> 2021-05-06 23:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1500479024 alyssagracemaboloc https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501133336 The two public health core values and related obligations that is commonly seen in the CDC case study and Dr. Mona is transparency and the safety of the community.  The CDC did not hesitate on being transparent with the issue of fentanyl diversion and made sure to inform patients who may have been affected by that nurses’ actions. In Dr. Mona’s case, she wanted to make sure that the public knew about the lead exposure crisis that was being found in the communities water. She wanted the city to be transparent with its residents and yet they were still trying to find ways to hide it or cover it up.  The hospital that the nurse was caught at and Dr. Mona show clearly that they are concerned with the communities health and safety and that it has potentially been tampered due to the actions of others. It is their duty as health care workers that they inform the public of any safety precautions that need to be taken in order to prevent the health of the community from going bad.

]]> 2021-05-07 05:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501133336 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501146354

The two health core values and related obligations are transparency and protocol/agreement. CDC did its job to let the patients know about the severe problems with the injections. They had agreements with the patients before giving them the injections they will receive and some background information about side effects and other essential data they need to know. Also, Dr. Mona wanted to let the community know about Flint’s water and agree to the public about water drinking and its cause and effects. Both show transparency and agreements, as CDC and Dr. Mona wanted the public to know about the truth about the injection and the problems about the Flint water. It shows that they care about the public’s health and safety and want the community to gather and help prevent this problem. 

]]> 2021-05-07 05:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501146354 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501147611 2. In every position that a patient would go through, it is very important. Therefore, yes, I think that patient notification should be conducted. It’s ethical because the public health organization manages it, and they would be reliable with whatever happens to the patient. It would be their responsibility when something terrible could happen to the patient when they didn’t tell the truth because it would eventually be a problem for everyone. Also, I think patients would always trust the healthcare system because they believe they are doing the right job. Still, with any circumstance that could happen, they should know the patients because it’s between life or death situation if something bad happens.

By keeping it a secret from patients, it is an unethical practice that puts a greater number of people at harm due to these actions. It is expected that when you go to nurses/doctors for patient care, that you trust them with your life. If that is something that they cannot uphold, then it would cause more harm than good. Of course with any type of business, once word gets out about an instance like this, there are going to be less people that are likely to go to that hospital. But it would be worse if they kept it a secret and ended up having to deal with numerous lawsuits and fighting to keep the hospital open.

The most important stakeholders who should be considered and involved in deciding if Flint residents should be notified are the community, Dr. Mona, and all the government officials. The community is affected by the Flint water, and they have a significant role in contributing to the process. Dr. Mona is very concerned with the community that has a big impact on everyone because she knows the problem, and she made sure to bring prevention for the community because she cared for their health and safety. Lastly, all of these won't be able to do without the government officials' approval for the decisions.

The two public health core values are protection and trust. These two core values are fundamental because we know that government officials handle all the decisions for the community’s protection and safety. Therefore, the community has so much trust that they will do their job for the residents. However, Dr. Mona showed protection and trust to the people and made sure to give them the best treatment and support for their proper health and safety.

Dr. Mona has been highly involved with the research of lead exposure and has not been hesitating on calling out the local government who have been trying to cover it up. The local government has a major say since they are the head people are are approving and calling the shots. Many people listen to their local government officials and when it comes to topics like this, it can be confusing on who to believe if the opinions are split. By Dr. Mona and the local government working together they are able to inform the public about the lead exposure and have it backed up by scientific data analysis

Based on seeing how the government was trying to brush off the problem and cover it up even though they knew what they did was wrong is the exact reason why I think that they need to have more than one voice advocating for the potential lead exposure. Transparency is one of the most important things that I believe in when it comes to health care since there shouldn’t be a need in hiding or covering up issues that involve public safety.

Health and safety of the patients is what the CDC case and Dr. Mona were thinking of when it came to a difficult situation. Dr. Mona got into the medical field because advocating for others is what drives her, alarming patients that are at risk is a part of the health and safety public health core value. Mr. Mona and the CDC wanted to inform the public on the water crisis and tampering of the injections because people deserve a warning if they are being put at risk. This connects with transparency because it shows openness and communication between two sides, it helps patients understand what the professionals are doing to protect them.]]> 2021-05-07 07:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501333904 ngochle01 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501334686 After reading about the CDC case study, I do think that a patient notification should be conducted because it would be unethical not to inform the patients of their health being compromised. Patients put their trust into doctors and nurses which gives doctors/nurses the responsiblity of treating patients ethically and ensuring patient safety. If the patient was treated by a nurse that practiced unethically, the patient could sue the nurse and the hospital resulting in an economic situation for the hospital along with a bad reputation. The bad reputation might encourage other patients to leave said hospital and prevents others from going to said hospital.

Based on the readings, Dr. Mona was so driven by the water crisis, she wanted to get to the bottom of it as fast as possible to prevent further lead poisoning. Dr. Mona and her team worked endlessly to find evidence that could help build their case and prove that there is a water crisis in Flint. I also mentioned the government officials because I think they would be able to alert the residents of Flint faster.]]> 2021-05-07 07:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501335378 ngochle01 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1501336207 The two public health core values and related obligations that influenced my answer to question 3 is transparency and safety. Like I said in my answer for the first and third question, Dr. Mona wanted to tell the patients and residents of Flint which connects with transparency and safety but before she could, she needed evidence which is why it took her a while. Transparency is where the doctor patient communication comes, we expect the truth when we go to the doctors, we expect that the nurse knows how to give injections properly to ensure safety of the patient.

Both the CDC and Dr. Monas book are transparent because for the CDC they provide all information about hazards and things that can go wrong to their audience, which is being transparent because they are not hiding anything from people who want the whole truth. Dr. Monas book shows transparency because she wanted the public to know about the water crisis that was happening in flint. The CDC and Dr. Monas book also have the obligation to prevent harm because for the CDC they are warning people about injections and for Dr. Monas book she is warning people about how the water in flint is not safe to drink.

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.

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. ]]> 2021-05-07 18:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1503735732 cristianjackson https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1503770058 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.

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. ]]> 2021-05-07 19:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1503777269 cristianjackson https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1503794055 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.

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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504297092 alyssanguyen01 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504298084 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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504298084 alyssanguyen01 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504298715 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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504298715 alyssanguyen01 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504299368 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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:21:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504299368 manishmanwani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504306266 2021-05-07 23:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504306266 manishmanwani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504311043 2021-05-07 23:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504311043 manishmanwani https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504319839 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.

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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504324620 ladankahin https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504327354 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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504327354 uyennguyenzara https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504327974 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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504327974 ladankahin https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504336354 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. ]]> 2021-05-07 23:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504336354 ladankahin https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504342261 Stakeholders in regards to the Flint water crisis should be the government and Dr.Mona/those that have been helping her.

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. ]]> 2021-05-08 00:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504347945 jennaschwartz https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504376711 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 00:31:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504376711 jennaschwartz https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504387154 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 00:41:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504387154 vanessafuentes1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504402780 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 00:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504402780 vanessafuentes1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504405846 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 00:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504405846 jennaschwartz https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504406323 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 00:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504406323 vanessafuentes1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504409794 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 01:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504409794 vanessafuentes1 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504412248 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 01:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504412248 jennaschwartz https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504412918 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 01:05:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504412918 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504538306 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 03:18:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504538306 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504544033 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 03:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504544033 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504547210 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 03:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504547210 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504549617 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 03:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504549617 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504595816 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.]]> 2021-05-08 05:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504629332 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504629480 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.]]> 2021-05-08 05:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504629480 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504629628 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.]]> 2021-05-08 05:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504629628 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504631673 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.

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.]]> 2021-05-08 05:42:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504632420 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504632613 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.]]> 2021-05-08 05:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504632613 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504632882 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.]]> 2021-05-08 05:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504632882 renefong https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504635494 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 05:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504635494 makennamentonporter https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504636836 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.  ]]> 2021-05-08 05:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504636836 makennamentonporter https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504639520 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 05:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504639520 makennamentonporter https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642192 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 06:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642192 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642269 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.]]> 2021-05-08 06:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642269 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642706 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 06:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642706 renefong https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642823 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 06:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642823 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504642990 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.

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.

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.

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. ]]> 2021-05-08 06:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504644881 jennietern https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504645891 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. ]]> 2021-05-08 06:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504645891 jennietern https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504646012 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.

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.]]> 2021-05-08 06:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504651055 https://padlet.com/jenniferlaguilar/luhd1yf8w6pwgmuz/wish/1504654071 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.
