...Ethial Issues in Health Care Name: Professor: Institution: Course: Date: Ethical Issues in Health Care Section 1: Ethical Decision Making Processes The Consequential Framework This method of ethical decision making is necessary particularly when dealing with future effects of the lines of action adopted for a particular situation. The method considers all the individuals who will be affected either directly or indirectly (Robinson & Reeser, 2000). The first step is to consider what results are desirable in the particular ethical complication. Secondly, there is consideration of the ethical conduct that will help in realizing the best of the consequences. An individual using this method of consequences framework has an aim of producing the most good. The Duty Framework The duty framework method of coming up with ethical decisions focuses on the obligations and duties that are usually posed in different situations. The method considers the ethical obligations that individuals have and the things that they should never do. The method defines ethical conduct as fulfilling one’s duties and doing what is right. The main aim of the method is performing the right act. Section 2: The Duty Framework Decision Making Process The duty framework is the more preferable of the two methods discussed above. Firstly, the method presents a solid ground for the formulation of decisions. Mainly, it is due to the fact that most moral duties are standardized and an expected course...

...Week 4 Individual Paper Angela Tai ACC 260 May 10, 2013 Douglas Kildsig Critiquing Philosophical Approaches to Ethical Decision Making Three philosophical approaches are taken when ethical decisions are being made. These approaches include consequentialism, deontology, and virtue ethics. Consequentialism focus on the consequences associated with the decision that was made. When an individual uses this approach, that individual should ensure that they are fully knowledgeable of the problem in order to make an ethical decision. It is crucial that the person has the ability to examine the affects both negative and positive that will occur because of the decision. When using the deontology approach, one focuses on if it was a right decision or not instead of focusing on the consequences. With this method, all of the questions about ethics and principles arise. The last method is called the virtue ethic approach. This method strives on keeping the morals and integrity of both the community and the individuals. By keeping the morals and integrity of a community when making decisions, it ensures that the decision will be made using the personality traits of the individual. These traits include honest, generosity, wisdom, intuition, and common sense. Is the course of action really the most ethical choice? Scenario One The mayor made the most ethical choice by refusing the proposal and scarifying the development of hundred jobs and million dollars to be able to consider...

...Ethical Decision Making Throughout the course of this term, I was introduced to a plethora of new Information. Initially, we were taught that there are a series of different ethical lenses that can be used in decision making. There are four different Lenses, they are: 1. Rights Lens. In this Lens, the core point for decision making is “An action is ethical if I fulfill my duties and do the right thing as I claim my individual rights.” – (Ethical Lens Inventory.) 2. Relationship Lens. In this Lens, the core point for decision making is “An action is ethical if it supports a framework for continuous systemic ethical improvement for both the organization and the institutions supporting it.”- (Ethical Lens Inventory.) 3. Results Lens. In this Lens, the core decision making point is “An action is ethical if good ends – good results – come from the action.” – (Ethical Lens Inventory.) 4. Reputation Lens. In this Lens, the core decision making point is “An action is ethical if it is consistent with the habitual development of sound character traits including habits of thoughtful reflection, good intentions and noble human virtues.” – (Ethical Lens Inventory.) After completing different ethical scenarios using the different lenses, my preferred lens is the right and responsibility lens. What is interesting about this is the fact that it was predicted that this was indeed my preferred lens after completing the Ethical Lens Inventory. Throughout my working career, I’ve found that...

...Ethics Case Study Everyday health care workers around the world are faced with tough decisions. The law guides many decisions but some decisions require ethical considerations. Making good ethical decisions is not always as easy as it seems. Making ethical decisions is even harder when the primary intention is to be helpful, but it is beyond an employee’s qualifications. Jerry’s Qualifications versus Necessary Qualifications Qualification as a medical assistant and a licensed practical nurse (LPN) does not qualify Jerry to fill, or even refill, any prescription. Only pharmacists, doctors, and other certified professionals can order medications. Jerry working as medical assistant means he is responsible for both administrative and clinical duties (Fremgen, 2009). Jerry is a LPN, which means that he is responsible for many of the same duties as registered nurses, which does not include filling or refilling prescriptions (Fremgen, 2009). Types of doctors who are allowed to write prescriptions include optometrists, veterinarians, podiatrists, clinical pharmacists, and dentists (University Health Care, 2008). Nurse practitioners, psychologists, and physician assistants can often prescribe and order medications. Because Jerry holds none of the fore-mentioned titles he is unauthorized to order a refill on a prescription. Does Type of Medication Make a Difference? Whether Jerry is refilling a prescription for blood pressure medication, blood thinners, or valium...

...Introduction Ethical behavior is generally expected to be conducted within a business by its managers and employees. When business ethics is spoken by business people of it usually means one of three things (1) avoid breaking the criminal law in one’s work-related activity; (2) avoid action that may result in civil law suits against the company; (3) avoid actions that are bad for the company image (Erwin 2011). . Ethical issues in business will occur but can be solved and avoided in many cases that can help a company continue to be successful. Using an ethical decision making process will guide companies and its employees in the right direction to success and respect within the communities they serve. Most people involved in business whether functioning as a small business owner, employee, or chief executive officer of a multination company eventually face ethical or moral dilemmas in the workplace. Such dilemmas are usually complex, for they force the person making the decision to weigh the benefits that various business decisions impart on individuals including him or herself and groups with the negative repercussion that those same decisions usually have on other individuals or groups. What is Ethics? Business ethics is a subject that can be difficult to define. Any discussion of business ethics is a subjective one, for everyone brings different concepts of ethical behavior to the table. These moral standards are shaped by all sorts of things, from home environment to...

...A Conflict for Counselors Crystal Anderson University of Phoenix BSHS/332 Professional, Ethical, and Legal issues in Human Services Audra Stinson October 8, 2012 A counselor’s perspective Social workers study psychological and sociological aspects of counseling.

...choice making alludes to the procedure of assessing and picking among choices in a way reliable with moral standards. In making ethical decisions, it is important to see and take out untrustworthy choices and select the best moral option. This paper will inform the reader about the four ethical principles and the methods of ethical decision making, which all will assist with resolving ethical dilemmas. Ethical principles are the establishments of moral examination since they are the perspectives from which direction can be gotten along the pathway to a choice. “Ethical principles assist care providers in making choices based on moral principles that have been identified as standards considered worthwhile in addressing healthcare-related ethical dilemmas” (Pozgar, 2011). The four ethical principles are autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. There is a 96 year old male who has been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Currently the patient is admitted to the ICU for the proper treatment. The patient is confused and disoriented, very skinny and appears underfed, and is covered with bruises, which are common in patients with liver disorders. “The principle of autonomy involves recognizing the right of a person to make one’s own decision” (Pozgar, 2011). This suggests that people should have control over their lives light of the fact that they are the main individuals who totally comprehend their way of life. Here, the patient is unable to make decisions for himself...

Family members who are caregivers on an ethical level have to always do what is right for the patient even when no one is looking. In this ethical study assignment, the patient is a 96-year-old male that has terminal liver cancer, admitted to the ICU with symptoms of confusion, underweight and underfed, along with bruises which are believed to be a part of the liver disorder.

The daughter has insisted these are life-saving interventions. The healthcare staff is in need of some assistance on how to care for the patient due to their belief that the daughter is hastening the death of her father. The writer has been asked to assess the dimensions of the ethical dilemma that is at hand, discuss the issues that are involved and apply the ethical principles and the methods of ethical decision making.

...essay will examine and analyze whether hiring ethical people is the key factor in encouraging and producing an ethical organization. Ethics refer to the moral standards set that enables an individual to tell what is right from wrong and what is good and bad. In today’s organizations, the importance of the code of ethics is more prevalent than ever. Code of ethics consists of various factors such as being honest, building trust, and upholding the ethical standards. Organizations that exercise ethical codes not only feel that it is a way to portray a positive image to the stakeholders, but also because it highlights its own organizational virtues and values. It is believed that such culture could cultivate and encourage more ethical behavior for the employees in the organization (Stevens, 2008).Code of ethics are also used to articulate the restrictions for the organization, and to set a benchmark of what is acceptable and unacceptable, boosting responsibility, and conveying the standard expectations demanded from the employees as well as the leaders in the organization (Stevens, 2008).The ethical codes can be described as an effective tool to promote ethical behavior in the organization(Stevens, 2008).However, researchers have came up with reports that hints that the practice of ethical codes are unproductive and they have failed to create an impact in an employee’s behavior(Stevens, 2008). One of the studies suggested that ethical codes are not suitable and were ineffective especially...

...will talk about critical thinking and ethical application. There are two approaches to the role of critical thinking in management education. The first approach values critical thinking as a necessary component of good decision making and a prerequisite to becoming a wise consumer of management knowledge. The second point of view experiences critical thinking as yet another example of scientific method applied to management problems. These techniques includes the familiar tools of decision science, such as decision trees, along with less quantitative methods of organizing thinking such as force field analysis. The common thread of the scientific approach is that all these methods, including critical thinking, purport to be able to make objective analyses of subjective information. We can reconcile the two views of critical thinking by agreeing that knowledge is largely a social construct and that there is value in looking for alternatives to any assumption or conclusion. CRITICAL THINKING AND EFFECTIVE ETHICAL DECISION MAKING An ethical decision does not necessarily arise with a sense of urgency. There is usually time available to consider alternate actions and possible consequences. This is where critical thinking adds to and informs our ethical analysis. Critical thinking might lead to an ethical outcome, and ethical intent might also lead to an ethical outcome. However, when both are used in conjunction, we can suggest that an ethical outcome is more likely. That’s look...
