Written Assignment 4 (Brief Annotated Bibliography)
After examining the Purdue University material on annotated bibliographies, create a brief annotated bibliography to support your final paper topic. Your annotated bibliography should contain a minimum of five sources, including at least one of each of the following:
A credible website
An academic source from one of the databases offered through Thomas Edison State University
A source found through Google Scholar
In your annotation for each source, briefly summarize it; describe its usefulness, reliability, or objectivity; and tell how it fits into your paper.
Use the Module 4 resources to cite all sources fully and correctly in either MLA or APA style. Accuracy of citations will count for more of your grade in this assignment than it did in Written Assignment 3. [MO 4.2]

My approach to the topic of the impact of technology on Respiratory Therapy and maintaining currency.
I plan first to comment on where and what exactly respiratory therapy was in the past to where it is now. From there I would like to mention technology available about 1-2 decades ago. I would then go in the direction of showing what medical devices made a major impact in the field such as the mechanical ventilator, Nebulizers, and suction machines. From here I would then talk about newer equipment that will be revolutionizing the field. Things such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) which is an alternative to mechanical ventilation and believed to possibly be safer for the lungs. From this point I would talk about what is expected in the future of RT and how it will impact the way we view medicine.

ethics Written Assignment
After reviewing the resources on surveillance ethics, privacy, and the Fourth Amendment, choose one of the case studies (Carpenter v. United States or China’s Social Credit System) and write a paper of 500 to 750 words (approximately 2 to 3 pages) that discusses the ethical issues as they relate to individual privacy and security. Use one of the ethical frameworks discussed in Module 2 to support your case (utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, social justice and social contract theory).
If you select the case of Carpenter v. United States, choose either the side of the court or one of the dissenting opinions and make your case in favor of or against the ruling. If you select the case study, China’s Social Credit System, take a stance either in favor of or against this emerging practice.
Be sure to cite the sources you use in your assignment. You may choose either MLA or APA format as long as you are consistent.
