The author of this article provides a contextual overview
of various, contemporary leadership models, including their
attributes. A thorough literature review revealed more than 130
definitions and interpretations of leadership. However, the
author asserted that despite this large number, minimal
leadership models existed that promoted a strong

leader/follower relationship. In healthcare, especially the
nonprofit sector, strong leader/follower relationships promote
and strengthen the organization’s mission. To fill this gap, the
author introduces the concept of personal investment
(investation model of leadership) whereby a leader invests their
time, knowledge, and resources in someone who has shown
potential as a leader in the field. This is a helpful source for
supporting a discussion on succession planning, the application
of contemporary leadership models into the culture of an
organization, and further research opportunities on leadership
modeling.

Teenage pregnancy in Mississippi and healthcare principles

Introduction Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: This should
state Background
As the teen pregnancy cases have been declining in the
industrialized nations, it’s absurd to assert that in the region of
Mississippi teenage pregnancy numbers has been increasing. As
per 2012, Mississippi happened to be the third state with the
high number of adolescent pregnancies in the whole nation.
According to Sedgh et al. (2012), "roughly one in four teens
will become pregnant at least once by their 20th birthday. One
in five births to girl’s ages 15 through 19 is not the teen’s first”
(p.223-230). However, teenage pregnancy can harm the teenager
as a different aspect of their life is affected. The law in most
American states allows specific healthcare principle to respect
the sexual health life of the teenagers. There are several
healthcare principles such as justice, autonomy, confidentiality,
beneficence, and non-maleficence that affects the adolescents
directly in the course of making the decision. Some healthcare
principles such as autonomy and privacy may prevent handling

teenage pregnancies in the Mississippi area where less power is
given to the adolescents. Conservative beliefs limit the use of
contraceptives among many other factors. Adolescent teens are
not only allowed to make decisions, but their cases should be
kept private or confidential. Therefore, the paper will focus on
the effect of theoretical healthcare principles on teenage
pregnancy. Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: Nice
background
General problem Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: This
needs left aligned and not centered…adhere to template!
The general problem is the increased teenage pregnancy in the
United States; and increases also increases the ethical dilemma
to deal with confidentiality and autonomy in factors such as
contraceptives and abortion. The federal law of confidentiality
states that the physician should not share the information or
data related to the patient. However, this can only be done as a
result of the legal cause as well as the written authorization
from the patient (McDavitt et al. 2016). The penalty faced by
professional who pass around information related to the patient
faces different penalties. In cases of sexual abuse, the patients
may be adamant about reporting the issue to the authorities or
the patient; as such, this becomes an ethical issue. Once the teen
realizes that the doctor cannot keep the secret, they will never
report to them again. Comment by Dr Susan MacCready:
This first sentence must be cited
The issue of autonomy and confidential care for teens in the
area of reproduction has raised many discussions in the country.
In the United States, there are various ethical issues that
conflict with handling teenage pregnancy. Mississippi as a state
is equally affected as it also works under federal law. Autonomy
is one of the pillars of healthcare principle that focuses on
patient decisions. Autonomy states that patients should have the
power to decide concerning their health. However, in some
states; the adolescent may not have the cognitive ability to
make a certain decision. The care provider has the power to
protect the adolescent from harm, and as they make individual

decisions, it may be against the law that protects teens.
Robinson, Kunnuji, Shawar, & Shiffman (2018) asserts that
“due to the respect for the autonomy of the patient, the doctor
can be put in difficult situations, requiring discernment to
decide on issues related to health, self-care and its impact on
the individual who is under his care. Many professionals claim
that adolescent patients, given their young age, are not able to
take responsibility for their health and should, therefore pass
the scrutiny of their legal representatives. In practice, however,
the professional cannot guarantee that these tutors seek the
benefit of minors under their guardianship; thus, this
proposition can be questioned” (p. 1807-1819) Comment by
Dr Susan MacCready: Entirely too long here……this must be
paraphrased Mitchelle. You need to paraphrase majority of your
content to maintain credibility as the content expert on your
topic.
Specific Problem Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: Again
template not adhered to here
The specific problem understudy is the high prevalence of teen
pregnancies issues in Mississippi and the effect of healthcare
principles in combatting the issue. In 2003, the governor of
Mississippi the, asserted that DNA of pregnant teens should be
conducted. The DNA is then run in the state DNA database, to
see if at all the man who is responsible for the teen pregnancy
and is over the age of 21 has been previously arrested. The
assertion went against the principle of privacy as well as
autonomy concerning the pregnant victim. However, it was the
right thing to do to reduce the rate of teenage pregnancy in the
state. Campbell-Lewis, Bondurant & Bush (2016) states that”
The governor is correct that Mississippi has a serious problem,
though not necessarily the issue he claims. Mississippi has the
country's highest teen birth rate. Of Mississippi high school
teens, 58 percent have had sex (the national average is 47
percent), and by the end of 12th grade, 70 percent are sexually
active. Young people aged 15-24 make up only 15 percent of

Mississippi’s population, but they account for 76 percent of
chlamydia cases and 70 percent of gonorrhea cases. Not
coincidentally, over one in three sexually active high school
students do not use condoms” (p. 318-321). Comment by Dr
Susan MacCready: This first sentence must be cited
Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: Needs cited
Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: Again not original
here.. Paraphrase this.
Additionally, according to Fouquier, “the law has several
negative consequences. It puts doctors, nurses, and midwives in
the position of law enforcement. They will be required to
collect evidence for potential crimes without the consent of the
mother, raising serious constitutional questions that will be
disputed at the expense of the state. The DNA will be stored
permanently, also at a cost to the taxpayer, even though much of
it will never be used. In a state committed to small-government
principles, it is disconcerting that many of our leaders believe it
is in the public's interest to preserve the DNA of citizens who
haven't even been charged with a crime” (Fouquier, 2017).
Therefore, a solution is supposed to found with little or less
ethical issues related to it. Comment by Dr Susan
MacCready: I expect better at the master level here. Needs
originality. Penalty applied for lack of originality in content
within paper.
Purpose Statement Comment by Dr Susan MacCready: Does
not adhere to template
The purpose of the study was to find out the ethical and legal
issues surrounding the issue of teen pregnancy in Mississippi.
Also, the purpose of this study and research paper is to identify
the strategies such as policy formulation that can be used for the
reduction and minimization of the increment in the prevalent
cases of teenage pregnancy in the United States, and more
specifically in the Mississippi. The rationale behind the
carrying out of this research is the increase in the cases of
teenage pregnancies in the Mississippi. Besides, Mississippi

might be a conservative state with wrong beliefs related to the
use of contraceptive. Such beliefs limit teen's access to
contraceptive education and services. Informed consent is one
of the challenging issues whereby the teens make a less rational
decision in the course of making sexual decisions. According to
the Barlow, “While consent laws in most states apply to all
minors age 12 and older, there are some states that allow certain
groups of minors to consent --those who are married, pregnant
or already parents. Several states 3 have no relevant policy on
disclosure to parents or guardians, and the decision is left to the
care provider” (Barlow, 2015). Comment by Dr Susan
MacCready: First sentence must be cited Comment by Dr Susan
MacCready: paraphrase
Some states allow the consent to the contraceptives in the
country while others do not. Furthermore, most of the states in
America do not allow teens to consent to the abortion. The
argument supporting confidentiality care among teens asserts
that giving the teens a chance to decide as it will enable then to
be responsible. The adolescent is a stage of exploration and
development among teens, and they have to grow emotionally
and intellectually. According to the Austin “When physicians
provide confidential care for adolescents, they are giving them
the opportunity to learn how to interact with clinicians and to
become responsible for their health care, and they are
respecting and supporting the development of an emerging
autonomous self” (Austin, 2017). Therefore, the only form of
education that should be given to teens is on the type of
contraceptives to use. It is like teens are not receiving relevant
education as such they are not in a position to make informed
decisions when it comes to sexual health education. Decision
making has to do with how a person interprets the risk, benefits,
and the consequences related to the act. The teens, as such,
should only have consented when they possess the three aspects.
Therefore, relevant education is the only means that can make
the adolescents make an informed decision and give consent to
the information in case they are sexually assaulted. Comment by
