BHA 4201Fremgen, B. F. (2012). Medical law and ethics (4th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice Hall.1. A supervisory position has opened up due to someone retiring in the medical office in which you work. You and your pregnant co-worker are talking about it at lunch one day, and your co-worker is very excited because she has been told several times that the next supervisory position that came open would be hers. The next day, however, it is announced that someone with less experience and time on the job will be taking over the position instead. Your co-worker feels very strongly that it is because she is pregnant and going on maternity leave in two months. Do you feel that your co-worker has a valid claim against the medical office? Why, or why not? What steps, if any, do you feel she should take next to address this situation? How would she go about proving a violation of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act? Be sure to present reasons to support your answer.2. A nurse is terminated from her position at a hospital after 20 years. She is told that it is due to budget cutbacks. As she is preparing to leave on her last day, she over hears the nurse manager telling the director that she is glad to be rid of her. Because she had been there so long, she was making too much money for the same job a person in their 20s could do. In fact, the nurse manager had already hired a younger worker as an entry-level replacement for at least half the salary the nurse was being paid. The nurse being terminated is 52 years old.What claims if any can the nurse bring against the hospital? What specific law can she raise to support her arguments? Would she be successful in her claim? Why or why not? What is your opinion? Be sure to include reasons to support your answer.
