McMahan describes a scenario that he calls the Conscientious Driver case: “A person who always keeps her car well maintained and always drives carefully and alertly decides to drive to the cinema. On the way, a freak event that she could not have anticipated occurs that causes her car to veer out of control in the direction of a pedestrian.” First, explain the culpability account (what makes it permissible to kill someone in self-defense on that account?) and how it applies to the Conscientious Driver case. Second, briefly describe McMahan’s own account of self-defense (the responsibility account) and how it applies to the Conscientious Driver case. Finally, in your view, which account has the more plausible result in this case? Do you think the pedestrian is permitted to kill the driver in self-defense (assuming there is no other way out of the situation), or would that be morally wrong?

In case study 3, what is the patient’s condition following treatment?

In case study 2, what were the results of the urinalysis?

In case study 2, the biopsy revealed:

Please refer to the following case study when answering questions 35-38 Case Study 1:  A 39-year-old female was seen by her physician with complaints of repeated epigastric pain.  A complete work-up was done including ultrasound of the gallbladder, and it revealed the presence of a cholelith.  Cholecystectomy was then performed. In this case study, where was the patient’s pain located?

In case study 3, what symptom did the patient experience upon exertion?

In case study 1, what surgical procedure was performed?

In case study 3, what did the chest x-ray show?

Match the content of the following listed examples to the appropriate audience and purpose. (i)According to industry analyst Nathaniel Beard, “Fashionistas often have a love/hate relationship with mass-market retailers like H&M because they equate the inexpensive price tag to the company’s ability to manufacture its merchandise in sweatshops filled with underpaid workers.” Companies promote organic or “ethical” collections, but these campaigns often obscure complex issues in the supply chain. Consumers who demand higher standards can influence corporate practices.(ii)Fast fashion is everywhere. Stores like H&M and Forever 21 sell cheap clothes that fall apart after a few wears. The fabric is low quality, and the people making it often work long hours for almost nothing. Buying these clothes is basically supporting slavery, and yet everyone does it anyway because it’s cheap and fun.(iii)Global production of cotton and synthetic fabrics uses pesticides, fertilizers, and water at levels harmful to ecosystems. For instance, a single cotton t-shirt requires a third of a pound of pesticides, many of which contain carcinogens (Gershon, 2005). Consumers frequently overlook this information in favor of low-cost garments. Awareness campaigns that explain the environmental and humanitarian costs of fast fashion help shoppers make informed decisions.
