Suggested Discussion Topics 1. Because of the pain medication, Gladys Gwynn may not be able to speak for herself. Since she has no relatives to help, is it appropriate for Dr. Johnstone to make the decision about surgery for her? Given these circumstances, is it possible that when Gladys moved into Sunny Meadows they had her sign a Health Care Power of Attorney to someone at the facility? 2. Because the accident happened when Sheri Smith was helping Mrs. Gwynn, do you think Sheri should be held responsible for the accident? Since Sheri is an employee of Sunny Meadows, should that facility be held responsible? 3. The recovery time for internal fixation surgery is shorter than that following a total hip replace- ment. The surgery is also less expensive and has a less strenuous recovery period; however, Mrs. Gwynn probably will not be able to walk again. Given the patient's condition, and the limited resources available for health care, which procedure should be performed? 4. Would you have answered Question 3 differently if Mrs. Gwynn were your mother?
