Question1.
Multi factors in case study
The case study on Marry has involved multiple factors that can be projected in the
following points.
Emotional factor: In the case study of Marry emotional factor played a crucial role. Due to
ths factor even after the urgency of medical assurance to Mary’s husband Ted she was not
ready to send him in health care centre (Mitchell and et.al., 2016). Emotional factor was

opposing Marry in sharing the information related to illness of her husband with the
respective stakeholders. She was emotional about her husband and also possessive that makes
it difficult for her to share this information with any of her relative due to fear of not being
together with her husband.
Cultural factor: Cultural factor has also involved in the case study. Cultural factor also drive

Cultural factor was resisting the Marry to share the information of her husband to medical
team in order to cure her husband. She was not ready to share any personal information about
her and husband and she used to ted her husband which also create more fear in the brain of
Marry in respect to hsarring the information about her husband.

centre in the best way possible (Uitdewilligen and Waller, 2018). IT was totally unethical to
not to share information about the medical illness of her husband with the professionals. As
her husband needed imidiate medical support which can only posible once the Marry share
information with the health care officials.
Health care factor: Health care factor is also a part of this case study. In United Kingdom
health care system is very advanced which allows the human being to cure all the diseases
effectively (Bischoff and et.al., 2017). Mary’s husband was not well which required him to
cure in an appropriate manner. Marry's husband needed imidiate heralth care support that can
only be granted by sharring the relevenat information about the illness of hyer husband. She
was not ready to share any of the information that created a hurdle for her husband.
Social factor: Social factor is also a part of this case study. Different other elements like
driver, manager and other social elements also becomes part of this case study. Social factpor
denote to not share the personal information in fornt of other unknowns. Socila factor also
created a challenge for Marry in order to share information about the illness.
Legal factor: In this case study legal factor also entertained. This is the legal right of the
Mary’s husband Ted to get the medical assurance against the disease. As it was the right of
Ted to get medical support and the duty of marry to share information about the illness of her
