The Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 reduced the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine from 100:1 to 18:1. It also eliminated mandatory minimum sentences for simple possession of crack cocaine. The Act was passed to correct unfair sentencing ratios that treated crack cocaine offenses much more harshly than powder cocaine offenses. The Sentencing Commission implemented amendments to reflect the directives of the new Act.

Review the Huston (2010) article listed under reading assignments. Which skills described for the Nurse Leader in the year 2020 are important now? Explain your rationale and provide an example from your practice setting (or from your prelicensure program) to support it. This is the article: eynote speaker at the conference, American nursing professor and former president of the international honour society of nursing, Sigma Theta Tau, Carol Huston, painted a picture of a brave new nursing world in 2020, in her opening presentation, Preparing nurse leaders for 2020. She outlined eight leadership competencies every nurse leader would need in the 2020. The first was a global perspective. “Every health care issue has to be looked at from a global perspective. We used to think pandemics were confined to developing countries. We now know they are just one short flight away.” There was a more urgent need for international standards for basic nursing education. The nursing shortage was one of the most serious threats to global health, she said, and it would get significantly worse before it got better. Nurse migration was a global problem. (See news p7.) The second leadership competency was better use of technology to connect people. Technology had driven so many changes already in health care but knowledge and information acquisition and distribution was going to multiply exponentially. “Forty percent of what we know today will be obsolete in three years,” Huston said. She listed a range of technological developments that would have a major impact on health care in the next 20 years. By 2030 diagnostic body scans, which could identify underlying pathology, would become part of showering. Improvements in body scanning technology would mean there would be no need for invasive surgery or tests. “Nano bots” circulating in the blood stream would identify disease processes and begin to repair them. Gene therapy would mean what was now untreatable would be treatable and could see cancer abolished completely within two decades. Stem cell therapy would eliminate the need for organ transplants “as we will grow new organs. It is predicted we will be able to grow heart, kidneys and livers by 2020. There are already clinical trials underway growing new teeth – instead of dentures you would grow you own new teeth.” Merging of the human and the machine would advance significantly and by 2020 there would be pancreatic pacemakers for diabetics and the technology to enable blind people to see and deaf people to hear. Robotics would continue to develop, with physical service robots which could wash patients and help feed and carry patients. There was the potential for the use of robots in therapeutic roles.
