With this image, Kesey is preparing us for the role of McMurphy. Spiller notes in the novel, Kesey explores the "redemptive effects of individual rebellion, the edge of creative violence" (Spiller 1467) in crafting McMurphy
However, it should be noted that the degree to which this occurrence may happen is considerably less than that involving mooching, primarily due to the fact that there is less traffic and potential for criminal activity at a movie theater than at other businesses in which mooching may be involved. Favoritism certainly undermines police effectiveness in virtually all cases and all aspects, and induces a degree of preferential treatment for those who obtain it (Clarke, 2012)
From the S's point-of-view procedures which involve loss of dignity, self-esteem and trust in rational authority are probably most harmful in the long run and require the most thoughtfully planned reparations, if engaged in at all." (Baumrind, 1964)
But there is another way to look at the results of the Milgram experiments that helps to shed light on them contextually. Psychologist and researcher Thomas Blass argues in his writing that the lessons learned from Milgram about obedience and authority should not act as a defining structure for the way these concepts are studied today (Blass, 1999)
Psychologist Jerry Burger argues a similar line of defense for the seemingly despicable acts perpetrated on strangers by the original Milgram experiment participants. He also feels as though authority is contextual in that it is something people learn to respect and wield differently in different environments and social realities (Burger, 2009)
The ordinary person who shocked the victim did so out of a sense of obligation -- an impression of his duties as a subject -- and not from any peculiarly aggressive tendencies." (Milgram, 1974)

Fourth, Scripture uses Scripture in a way that supports inerrancy." (Tinsley, p
According to the National Center for Health Workforce Analysis, the 95,000 Nurse Practitioners working in 2000 represented an increase of more than 240% in the number of American Nurse Practitioners since 1992. By 2011, the number of Nurse Practitioners in the United States was more than 135,000 (Crane, 2011) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners estimates that 656 million prescriptions per year are written by American Nurse Practitioners (Brown, 2010, p
Some states eventually granted prescriptive authority through their regulatory bodies while other states eventually granted that authority through their legislative bodies. By 2006, all 50 states and the District of Columbia had granted at least some degree of prescriptive rights to Nurse Practitioners (Buppert, Nurse practitioner's business practice and legal guide, Fourth Edition, 2012, p

Two other states are waiting for final rulemaking before their legislative acts enabling NPs to prescribe controlled substances become effective. For NPs in several states, a variety of restrictions on controlled substances prescribing remain" (Byrne, 2011)

A study in Washington State noted that as their prescriptive authority expands, Nurse Practitioners undergo three dimensions of transition: Resisting Change; Ambivalent about Change; Embracing Change. Furthermore, the study concluded that Nurse Practitioners have been required to adapt to change throughout their careers and must prepare for new areas of responsibility before the authority is granted by legislation so they will be ready for that new responsibility (Kaplan & Brown, 2007, p
Today, Nurse Practitioners fill numerous roles in nearly every health care situation, fulfilling the Nursing profession's primary focus on the patient's total well-being while exercising the authority to prescribe medication and "order, perform, and interpret" some laboratory tests. In fulfilling these roles, a recent multidisciplinary health care study found that "Nurse Practitioners demonstrate a high level both collaboration and high levels of autonomy" (Klein, 2011, p
444). On the national level, for example, nursing organizations and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing are devising a model for regulations governing Nurse Practitioners to encourage consistency in licensure and credentialing (Knight, 2010)
A second educational challenge involves ongoing education about medications. Due to their increasing prescriptive authority, Nurse Practitioners are now an increasingly attractive target for pharmaceutical companies: "A recent report by Verispan, a health care informatics corporation, showed that NP retail prescriptions increased 22% in the first 8 months of 2006 (compared with the same time period a year earlier), while physician retail prescriptions increased at a significantly slower rate: only 2%" (Lebo, 2011)
The limitations placed on Nurse Practitioners pose an ethical problem in providing the highest quality of care for patients. Nurse Practitioner Carla Mills states, "[E]very day I am forced to negotiate around practice restrictions that interfere with my ability to deliver optimal care to my patients" (Mills, 2009)
The dramatic increase in Nurse Practitioners has given rise to questions about their impact on the incomes of other health providers, including physicians. Researchers have found that in areas with greater numbers of nurse practitioners, nurse practitioner incomes are higher while the incomes of physicians in the same geographic areas are decreased (Perry, 2009, p
Nurse Practitioner Carla Mills states, "[E]very day I am forced to negotiate around practice restrictions that interfere with my ability to deliver optimal care to my patients" (Mills, 2009). In addition, 46% of Nurse Practitioners reportedly delivered care that they deemed "sub-par" due to insufficient prescriptive authority (Peterson & Simpson, 2010, p
