DR C: I reviewed your assessment this morning and I am a little confused. I am unclear if this is an organizational policy or a health policy from a government entity. The paper seems to fluctuate between the two. Can you please provide some clarity?
Me: This is a health policy (consent policy). The paper summarizes the policy as described in the assessment instruction as well as speaks to what could happen if the policy is not strictly adhered to. The letter is, however, beckoning for some reconsideration on the part of the policy that relates to research on acute illnesses as the restrictions placed by the policy can have a negative effect on patients who might suffer from these illnesses. I hope this helps.

Dr. C: Thanks for this. I will take another look this weekend.
Me: Thank you!
DR C FEEDBACK: The paper needs to focus on a more legal stand point of a STATE’s HEALTH POLICY. Describe the legal implication of not adhering or adhering to specific health policy. There are other better health policies you can use. I would recommend using a different policy. YOU CAN RUN YOUR POLICY BY BE PRIOR TO WORKING ON THE NEW PAPER
Thank you for your hard work on this. As I mentioned in the discussion board, I am a little confused on this. This seemed to be an organizational policy rather than a health policy. There is some confusion on this though; specifically, your letter addressing a legal issue but it does not seem connected to the paper. If you are looking to get an A for this paper, please refer to the rubric to see how to obtain a maximum point of 3 for each section.
