Question

Argument

In a world where medical resources are in ever-shorter supply, allocation of those resources is becoming an issue. Critical care units (ICU) put heavy demand on hospital resources. Adult medical intensive care units (MICU's) are often occupied by elderly patients in the final stages of chronic illnesses. Neonatal ICU's, however, are reserved for premature infants that need critical care in the first few days of life. Surveys of mortality rates in relation to amount of care for both units show that on a cost/benefit basis, outcomes for NICU patients are statistically better than those for MICU patients. Since hospitals should prioritize outcomes, it is clear that resources should be allocated more heavily to the NICU.

Briefly analyze each argument as follows: issue, conclusion, analysis, and diagram.

Answer 1

The argument given in 2 ICU's are given care to 2 different age group. MICU is concentrate geriatric people who have low immunity & want much care for better. Which means there vital organs, and body function gone to downward manner.

In this scenario the NICU department ; the newborn have low immunity bt they respond to treatment more better than geriatrics.

Facilities given is equal but the age and body function is entirely different. Both the age group people treat like a flower ; the flower wants much care otherwise it's damaged very easily. We need to be give better care with better facilities. Once the patient is not responds to current medications & treatment, early identification & alter the treatment modality is necessary. Same like accurate diagnosis is very very important to given correct treatment.

MICU & NICU ------------- proper diagnosis --------- better care & facilities --------- either improves condition or worsening the condition(depends on age, care, facilities, ideal treatment ).
