C. Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) – attached with submission of Task 1 D1. Preferred Ethical Lens After completing the ELI exercise, the report indicated that my preferred lens is Results Lens and Reputation Lens. According to my report, I listen to my intuition (sensibility) to determine the greatest good for each individual (autonomy) and the character traits and virtues that will best serve the community (equality).

Imogene King: Theory of Goal Attainment INTRODUCTION Imogene King has made a lasting impact on the profession of Nursing, but surprisingly Nursing was not her first passion. Her passion was in teaching, but fortunately for the nursing community, King’s uncle, the town surgeon, offered to pay for her Nursing degree, an opportunity that she could not pass up (Hanink). She went on to receive her diploma in Nursing, Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education, Master’s of Science in Nursing, and finally her Doctorate in Education. It is because of King’s passion for both teaching and nursing that her first job after receiving her doctorate, was a teaching position, where she was also part of a committee that developed one of the first master’s of
If we as nurses respect the confidentiality of a patient, we should do so for all the patients. However, Griffith (2007) argues that the duty of confidence should not be absolute and nurses should always consider sharing information if required.

Personal Ethics Status The ability to grow and live positively is dictated by the extent by which people heed to the concept of morality. It is so unfortunate that some individuals, because of paying less attention to the basics of morality, ended up becoming useless people in the society. On the other hand, there exist some characters who up to date appreciate and respect the provisions of ethics, hence serving as the basis of their happiness and quality living. Admittedly, it is possible for one to give an account of what morality entails and the elements contained in it merely by providing a sound explanation of a personal account.
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. In health care, patient will always be put first, and their autonomy will always be respected. Nevertheless, when there is a situation where a patient might be in harm, or might be making their condition worse because of the decisions they made. Health care workers will always be there to
