Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Patience is 29 years old and has been HIV positive for nine years. She has remained asymptomatic and is not taking antiretroviral medication. Recently she was at the drop-in clinic to talk to a public health nurse about having a baby through artificial insemination. She said she had met a man who wanted to marry her and have children with her, but she was concerned about the baby contracting HIV. Her latest blood tests indicated her CD4+ count was 380/µL. The PCR test indicated her viral load was 850. The nurse referred her to the physician to discuss antiretroviral therapy during her pregnancy.
1. What are the factors that increase the chance of HIV transmission from mother to infant, and how the transmission occurs?
2. Patience was told that after she became pregnant, she would begin HAART therapy. Describe what this therapy is and what particular antiretroviral medication would be particularly useful to her during her pregnancy. What concern is there about administering certain antiretrovirals early in the pregnancy?
3. Individuals with HIV are prone to contracting opportunistic infections. What are opportunistic infections and the risk factors that leave an individual with HIV particularly prone to contracting this type of illness?

Case Brief Assignment/75-point assignment
“A case “brief” is a summary of a case decided by a court…it is taken from a lengthier
course decision and designed for simplicity and focus” (Carmen, Ritter, & Witt, 2008, p.
iii). In other words, a case brief is a condensed, concise outline of a court opinion. It
summarizes a court opinion so that key elements as well as the essence of the court’s
opinion are included.
USED:
For more efficient self-study
To present the case to others
{It’s easier and simpler than re-reading a 50-100-page long case every time you want to
refresh your memory about the case}
For additional review, see https://lawschool.westlaw.com/marketing/display/SG/3;
http://www.wikihow.com/Brief-a-Law-CaseCJUS 4018_18SP2 2
For this course, we will divide the case briefs into six sections which include the
following (see Moodle for available PDF example):
❖ CAPSULE: a review of the findings of the Court including the constitutional issue; explains the
type of case that will be briefed; a shorter version of the HOLDING
❖ FACTS: a presentation of the circumstances of the event that led to the court case; explains the
key facts of the case (who, what, when where, how, and why)
❖ ISSUE: a presentation of the particular legal (constitutional) issue at hand; will always been in a
question format with a YES or NO response
❖ HOLDING or SUPREME COURT DECISION: statement(s) that affirm the constitutional issue with
the court’s decision implied; the most important part of a court decision
❖ REASON: usually the longest part of the case brief; includes the logic behind the Court’s stance
on the issue at hand; can include direct wording from the Court’s written decision
❖ CASE SIGNIFICANCE: an explanation of the consequences of the ruling and how procedures will
changeCJUS 4018_18SP2 3
Note:
You may see differently named sections of case briefs included in other resources. For the purpose
of this course, we will use the above sections. Basically, the sections are all the same, just either
labeled differently or have an extra section here or there.
Directions for Course Assignment 1:
Step 1: Reviewing the information above as well as the PDF entitled “Court Brief Examples.”
Step 2: Select one of the following court cases:

Step 3: Locate the court case using the internet. A few reliable websites include: justia.com;
law.cornell.edu; scotusblog.com.CJUS 4018_18SP2 4
Step 4: Read through the case taking notes and remembering those sections (e.g. Issue, Holding,
Reason, etc.) that are expected to be completed for this assignment.

in the development of policy and legislation that affects people at work.
AHRI have released a ‘Model of Excellence’, which explains
the capabilities and behaviours of an ‘excellent HR manager’. This model provides a conceptual basis for the accreditation of HR
practitioners and training offered by AHRI and universities. The model identifies 7 capabilitiesthat are essential for HR practitioners

Business driven;
A strategic architect;
An
expert practitioner;
An ethical and credible activist;
Aworkforce and workplace designer;
Acultural and change leader; and

stakeholder mentor and coach.
In this assignment, you are to select three (3) of these capabilities and addressthe following (in your own
words, with referencing as required):
What does this capability entail?
Why would it be important for a Human Resource Manager to have
this capability?
Assume you are applying for a graduate HR position, and demonstrating this capability is one of the key selection
criteria. What evidence could you provide to demonstrate you possessthis capability? Draw upon your own experiences, whether it be your
work, university life, home life, volunteering or sporting experiences.
