Discuss the phylum Cnidaria. What are the basic body forms? Also, state the type of symmetry present and if these organisms have tissues and organs (and if present, state the number of tissues and organs). How do these feed? Be specific about what is used to feed, and state the type of digestive tract that is present. Lastly, give three example organisms in this group

Based on, Berry et al. (2011) and Levenson et al. (2010), discuss the differences between two approaches to the cross-cultural study on emotions: the dimensional approach and emotion as a distinct state approach.
Further, describe the main components of emotion and how are they studied across cultures.
How can you explain the data variance in cross-cultural studies on emotions?
This will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles. Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you
will have to “Applying
the Four Principles: Case Study” document includes the following:
This will formalize the four principles by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of
1, Medical Indications: Beneficence and Nonmaleficence
2, Patient Preferences: Autonomy
3, Quality of Life: Beneficence, Nonmaleficence, Autonomy
4, Contextual Features: Justice and Fairness
5, Describes how principles would be applied according to the Christian worldview.
Remember to use the topic materials. Include reference
Case Study: Healing and Autonomy
Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection.
The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment.
Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve.
The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God.
Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke.
They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis. Yet, Mike and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in hopes that James would be healed by then.
Two days later the family returned and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier.
Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? To make matters worse, James’s kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors.
Over the next few weeks, amidst daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to donate a kidney to James. However, none of them were tissue matches.
James’s nephrologist called to schedule a private appointment with Mike and Joanne. James was stable, given regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year.
Given the desperate situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’s brother Samuel.
Mike vacillates and struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a kidney or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his faith will come in? Mike reasons, “This time around it is a matter of life and death.
What could require greater faith than that?”
