Mary’s family should not authorize a hip replacement in her case because it seems as though her quality of life is detreating and that would only make her health worse before it gets better. She would need someone on watch 24/7 to make sure she does not hurt herself. But, if her family is willing to take on the added stress and risk in her condition then it is up to them, to make the decision. Mary is in no shape to make logical decisions on her own and if the family has just given up than the choice is left up to the medical staff and judge. But, on the flip side the family should be obligated to come together to help their mother no matter how hard it is to side by and watch the process take place.
Brionna’s duties as a CNA are to provide basic care to her patients, as well as assist those in their daily routines they might have trouble doing themselves, such as bathing, going to the bathroom, eating and etc. Her job is very personal so she has to be very compassionate and enjoy helping others. Even if she’s having a bad day, she can’t let it interfere with her job. “Some of these elderly people
According to the oncologist, Nurse L. was acting immorally and unprofessional when informing her patient Michael Q. of all his treatment options including chemotherapy, and alternative treatments such as natural therapies. I strongly disagree that the nurse was acting immoral because it was the patient’s medical and legal right to know all of his options, not just the ones that may be most successful, or ones that medical professional determines as the best options. That being said, I do not believe the patient’s physician should have the final decision about their treatment, unless the patient is unable to make a final decision for himself and has no family to assist him. Because the oncologist did not tell his patient about all the treatment options, Michael Q. was not was not fully informed and therefore his agreement to receive the chemotherapy treatment was not informed consent.
I enjoy reading your post; you provided sound knowledge of the ACA and NAADAC Code of Ethics. “The NAADAC Code of Ethics was written to govern the conduct of its member and it is the accepted standard of conduct for addiction professionals certified by the National Certification Commission.” Therefore, it is the responsibility of the addiction professional to safeguard the integrity of the counseling relationship and to ensure that the client is provided with services that are most beneficial. In all areas of function, the addiction professional is likely to encounter individuals who are vulnerable and exploitable. In such relationships he/she seeks to nurture and support the development of a relationship of equals rather than to take unfair
I will utilize NASW ethics to guide my practice while at MAPS clinic and I will discuss problems that may arise with my supervisor weekly. I demonstrated competency 1 all throughout my first two weeks at the MAPS clinic, as I made decissions based on the best interest of the patients. One of the primary principles used from NASW was Service as I was able to assist and help people in need by helping them adrress their individual issues. I advocated for my patient and was able to get CSB mental helath services to treat patient after patient had been denied services 5 times.
Healthcare providers rely on ethical codes to establish guidelines and standards for addressing issues that arise. Associations representing the professional organization are tasked with the duty of developing and tailoring a code of ethics to assist its members to understand expectations in their professional role. For example the American Health Information Management Association and the American Physical Therapist Association established a code of ethics for its members. Each association considers the relation of the health professional obligations and constructs a code of ethics to serve as guidance to the professional. When reviewing the code of ethics for AHIMA and APTA, one may definitely draw parallels.
I think Julie's behavior is unprofessional and unethical due to the fact being medical assistant only and not a doctor. For that reason any medical staff including Julie face ethical issues in a medical office on the daily basis. There are some guidelines Julie should follow while working with any patients: -Provide services with full respect for human dignity -“Aspire to render great service” to patients -“Dedicated to the care and well being of patients” -Respect confidential information unless required or authorized to disclose in a legal manner -Seek to continually improve knowledge and skills -Participate in services aimed at improving the well-being of the community and so on. Medical assistant should not diagnose and discuss a patient's
She continues to state, in a profit-driven health care system many individuals would needlessly die due to insurance companies would refuse to pay for much-needed medication and equipment. It would be far too easy for them to pay for much cheaper lethal medication. This scenario has already played out in the state of Oregon where it is already legal where assisted suicide is much cheaper than treatment
NAADAC Code of Ethics and the ACA Code of Ethics both serve as guide for the counseling professionals. Although, they may work from different angels, their common goals are for the well-fare of clients. Further, The ACA and NAADAC provide professionals guidelines for counselors to prepare them when providing treatment to clients. Both ethical codes can and will help you and provide you with the necessary information of what are ethical and what is not ethical behavior, it is essential in the counseling relationships (NAADAC, 2013). These codes help counselors to understand how their own values can interfere with the counseling interventions and how this can affect their patients.
The headnote establishes Michael Dillingham’s work position as an experienced team physician. With that information, I can already assume that the essay will be evidence Dillingham has pulled from previous experiences. Throughout the essay Dillingham gives his position on the negative effects of the drugs, and explains who agrees with his position. Applied ethics is the moral reasoning behind the use of the drug and its advantages and disadvantages. With applied ethics the audience can be both private and public people.
Core Values and Ethical Principles The six core values recognized by the NASW Code of Ethics are: service, social justice, dignity and worth of person, importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence (NASW, 2008). These values are defined and expanded upon, and are then listed as ethical principles. Several of these principles apply to this case.

Chris McCandless, whose story is analyzed in Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer, is a young adult who decides to leave his known habits and material belongings behind and live a completely self-sufficient life in the wilderness, a choice which ultimately leads to his death. In doing that, he also forfeits his family and friends. With that in mind, a question can be posed regarding the ethics of said behavior. As a childless, single and financially independent man, Chris McCandless has absolute ownership of his body and thus his decision to continue doing a sport that he knows can kill him is ethically defensible.
The NHS Community Care Act 1990, this legislation states that any one aged eighteen years or over is entitled to help or require a service from a local authority. Everyone has the right to have their needs assessed and the care that is being provided, should be tailored to meet an individual’s needs to enable them to live in their own homes. We know that Mary is an elderly lady who is very independent, however there has been a change in Mary’s circumstances and under this piece of legislation Mary is entitled to have her needs met whether it be through referral or a change in circumstance. Those involved in this assessment will be social work who will take the lead on the case, Mary and her family, doctors or nurses and carers. Under the Social
One of those most challenging areas I have experience during my current placement is ethical decision-making. We studied many possible scenarios during our Values, Ethics and Professional Issues class, and discussed the various types of decision-making models to help guide us when having to make difficult decisions. While the class was invaluable, because it helped me identify my own biases, and also shed light on how I have made decisions in the past and how I can possibly make decisions in the future, I knew that having to make real-life decisions would not be so cut and dry. This placement has been challenging for me, because my ongoing assignment with one of my supervisors requires constant ethical decision-making, sometimes even in the
