Ethical Dilemma Paper

155 Words1 Page

Thank you for sharing your ethical dilemma, Marie. A similar incident occurred at my workplace, where a nurse did not do round her patients until shift change. The patient has expired during the night without her knowledge. As nurses, our reputation, integrity, honesty, and ethical principles are always on the line. As stated by Harris (2015), the foundation of the nursing code of ethics is based on compassion, respect, accountability, commitment and advocacy, as nurses, we use these qualities to promote health, safety, competency, integrity and professional growth. No matter what the situation, patients expects us to be there wholeheartedly with caring and compassionate attitude. The patient might be dying, but that is the more reason why

  • Ethical Dilemmas In Healthcare

    324 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ethical dilemmas are a big part of healthcare, and specifically EMS. It is probable that you will encounter an ethical dilemma at some point in your career, and I think that you need to be equipped properly to deal with this inevitability. Most systems for solving ethical dilemmas follow the same model, roughly, and try and adhere to a policy of “most benefit, least harm”, or, “no harm no foul”. There is no problem with this, however, in a healthcare setting, we often must leave emotion, and sometimes patient preference out of the equation due to laws, protocols, and to protect ourselves, even more so today I think with the way our society is trending towards more and more litigious behavior. When you encounter an ethical dilemma,

    Many ethical theories were discussed in the passages ‘The Human Search for Meaning” by Viktor Frankl’s and “The World of Epictetus: Courage and Endurance” by Vice Admiral James Stockdale. Some of the theories that were discussed have their similarities yet they hold many differences as well. One of Stockdale theories is that happiness demands that we set apart between what is, and is not within our control. Although we should try and influence our fate, we have to accept that we cannot control it. Both authors state something along the lines that, as human beings, we can either accept what we can’t change or live a life full of sorrow.
