    The interpretation of the feeding tube being the equivalent of the breathing machine or vice versa is up for debate. These are both machines that can prolong life in some fashion. It does not say she is unable to talk or unable to eat, but rather that she refuses to do both actions. I would advise that her husband and her daughter speak to her to see if she will respond to them. It is quite possible that Ann could die at her own hands because of her refusal.…

    I believe, that as a caregiver, you have the opportunity to make a difference in a child’s life by how you guide them. Guiding children can happen in many ways; in how we direct the child throughout the day, encourage them, aid in decision-making, and in how we model healthy and safe choices. In these the caregiver must be consistent and act as is appropriate given the child's development. The way I have learned to guide children has mainly been through experience, trial and error, and by observing my parents as well as other parents and caregivers.…

    Betty, the researcher, would take a bite from each bowl, either broccoli or fish crackers, and show her reaction to the baby if she liked the food item or not. Half the time Betty would like the same food the baby liked, then the other time she would like the opposite. After the baby watched her react to the food, she would ask them to hand a piece to her. The eighteen-month baby would hand Betty the food she liked, which is incredible due to the fact that babies around that time of development do not know how to walk or talk yet. When asking the fifteen-month old baby to hand food, they would stare at Betty and grab a fish cracker, because they assumed that everyone liked the same food item they did.…
