A utilitarian perspective may argue that the idea of ‘covert medication administration’ should be considered ethical as it produces the greatest overall balance of benefits and harms. The benefit may be seen as improved patient compliance with the medicine, with less of an issue concerning agitation, and somewhat of an improved safety protocol for both the patients and the healthcare workers. This could potentially aid in the outcome for patients as a result of taking their medication as prescribed. Utilitarians take into account the potential for trust to be broken between patients and healthcare professionals and the possibility of biases in treatment when considering the utility of an action. A utilitarian may argue that the benefits of a certain practice outweigh the harms, particularly in cases where the patient cannot make decisions or is unable to understand or consent to treatment.
Tenacity and the application of grit lie deep in the maturation of my soul. The soul is the third and strongest leg of the trinity of who I am and what I accomplish. Palmer (2004) describes how resilient, savvy, and resourceful the soul is in the wilderness hidden in our inner self. The impact of ethical decision-making relies on the soul’s ability to influence the body and mind similar to how I employ structured influence on students, staff, and parents. Palmer (2004) defines this action through the soul as the inner self, “the objective, ontological reality of selfhood”

The first indication that there is an ethical issue in this case was when Dr. Petrov asks the pharmacist, Harold Hawkins, to donate his soon to expire medications. Dr. Petrov is heading back to his home country and wants to take medication donations with him. He insists that medications, even if not fully potent are better than no medication at all. This is an ethical issue because the people that may receive these medication could experience potential harm. Another issue is that the hospital policy and the law prohibits Mr. Hawkins from donating these medications.

Key Ideas The first key idea of the NIH Ethics course was the first principle of the Belmont Report, which is the principle of respect of persons.

Researchers built a survey about pharmacists and provided willingness to dispense medications that sometimes conflict with religious doctrine, 668 pharmacists participated in this survey, 13.2% of pharmacists in total 85 pharmacists stated clearly that they would refuse to dispense at least one medication but are willing to transfer the prescription to another pharmacist, and another 4.5% in total 29 pharmacists stated clearly that they would refuse to fill two or more medications but are willing to transfer them to another pharmacist. There are many pharmacists refusing to dispense medication such as contraception, but willing to transfer the prescription to somewhere else, which is shown in this survey. Area or personal religion beliefs should not affect any patients medication needs. According to the results of the survey, even though many pharmacists stated that they do refuse to dispense medication, they are willing to transfer the prescription to another pharmacist. Therefore, patients should be allowed to choose which pharmacist they prefer, thus meet their medication

The practice of health care includes many scenarios that have to do with making adequate decisions when it comes to a patient’s life, and the way they are treated. Having an ethical code in all health care organizations is very important, because it helps health care workers with reaching a suited and ethical decision when it comes to the patient.

Introduction The key ethical issues that were presented in this case study were quality control, lack of customer care, responsiveness, and harming the customer. The Johnson and Johnson case may have been seen as a turning point due to many things the company did right. However, there were many ethical issues in this case which will be explored more throughout this paper.

Because we work with a multitude people with interesting and diverse lives and backgrounds, and because we come in with our own baggage and experiences that influence how we act and react, we make split-second decisions all the time that can have profound effects on our work and our consumers.
