Health care provider provides information about the status of illness of the patient. The family was oriented about the illness taken by their daughter and collaborates in identifying the goals of care and that goals were achieved. Management of Resources and Environment The next key area is the management of resources and environment. Providence Hospital is where the patient has been cared off and all the procedures has been done to her such as port-a-cath, bone marrow, stem cell . In there, she had undergone her chemotherapy where her family is paying too much for Kate to be cured and extend her life. The hospital is having equipment that is needed in the therapy especially the equipment for chemotherapy, the oxygen and so on.

Legal Responsibilities My Sister's Keeper tells the story of 13-year-old Anna Fitzgerald who sues her parents for medical emancipation. They expect her to give up one of her kidneys for her older sister Kate, who has had leukemia since she was 2 years old. Her parents conceived Anna because they needed a donor of umbilical chord blood to keep Kate alive, and since then Anna has donated bone marrow and stem cells to Kate when she relapsed. But now she no longer wants to continue being used as an organ bank for her sister, and her only resort is the law. She does her research and then goes to a lawyer, Campbell Alexander, who has had some notable successes representing children in courts. Alexander goes around with a service dog, but he is not blind, deaf, or physically disabled, and he won't tell anyone what the dog is for. When Anna asks why he has the dog, called Judge, he wisecracks that he has an iron lung and the dog keeps him away from magnets. Anna is a little girl who wanted to have a normal life; it is her right to fight for it. Consent has not been given to her when she was a baby because it is on her mothers hand to decide for her, but then it came to a pint that she has realized that she was important

too. Obtaining an informed consent now to her was a big deal because she knows knew now the effects when she donates her kidneys. Ethical Responsibilities In this key area that concerns morals and ethics, core competencies include respecting the rights of all individuals and groups, accepting responsibility for individual decisions and adhering to the nurses' national and international code of ethics. Right to live and have a normal life is what Anna is fighting for. Its not that she doesnt want to help sister to live anymore but she is also thinking that she also a person who needs to have a normal life. Decision being made by her should be respected because it is part of human rights even though she was still a child. She has a right to refuse for any medical procedures because it is her own body.
