Zane is a nurse practitioner working on a research study. He and his colleagues are studying the effect of a new cancer drug.  Half of the participants will receive a standard chemotherapy drug and the other half will receive the experimental drug.  His role is to monitor the participants and make sure each one is getting the proper drug.  The other researchers are “blinded” so they do not know who is getting the standard drug and who is getting the experimental drug. Mrs. Hernandez is Zane’s patient, and she has been battling cancer for about 8 months.  She has been receiving standard chemotherapy, but her condition is worsening significantly.  Zane recommended that she enroll in the study because there would be a possibility that she would get this promising experimental drug which could improve her chances of survival.  Zane sees that Mrs. Hernandez is randomly assigned to the “standard chemotherapy” group, so she will not be receiving the experimental drug.  Zane knows the experimental drug is her best hope for survival, so he moves her to the “experimental chemotherapy” group.  Due to his role in the study, he can do this without anyone ever knowing he did it.  This requires he move someone else from the “experimental chemotherapy” group to the “standard chemotherapy” group.  He looks over the list and chooses another patient he knows with a less serious prognosis.  He moves that patient to the “standard chemotherapy” group.    Which one of the following principles motivates Zane’s actions? Autonomy Veracity Beneficence Compensatory Justice

Professionalism in written communication can affect your ability to advance in your career (promotions into higher administrative positions, for example) even though you may know how to do your physical job correctly. 

Most hiring employers want to read about your long-term professional and personal goals in cover letters (for example, if you want to own a business in fifteen years or if you want to get married).

In most cases, it is not wise to become overly familiar or informal when addressing others in a professional environment; you can be held legally liable for what you write.
