The Importance Of Conflict In A Family

1387 Words6 Pages

Family conflict is not something that I would say I am used to. I never fought with my sister like normal siblings do. I don’t really get into arguments with my parents or other family members. We generally enjoy our time together and conflicts don’t occur that often. However, there has been a recent tragedy on my mom’s side of the family that has created some significant conflicts. This has not necessarily affected me personally, but it has had an effect on my mom and her five siblings. Her siblings are scattered throughout Ohio while one of her brother’s live in Florida with his wife and two kids. Each of her siblings live different lives and are very different from one another. She stays in contact with all of them and they all have a very …show more content…

It was obvious that mother and her twin sister Jeanine should take the role because their schedules were the most available and they could drop anything at any moment to be somewhere. Upon this decision, they all decided to put him on the Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) List. He was old and in horrible condition at the time so this was obviously the best decision for him to pass peacefully. My Uncle Jeremy, who lived in Florida, completely disagreed. He felt that they should do whatever is necessary for him to live. Also, Jeremy felt the need to make decisions himself because he lived with his parents until he was in his late 20s and he knew what was best for him. All the other siblings ignored his demands because he was very similar to his father in the fact that he gets very emotional and heated in times of tension. Plus, the only reason he lived with his parents was because he ended up in and out of jail for an extended period of time. He finally received an out during Hurricane Katrina where he saw an opportunity to move to New Orleans and help with the reconstruction of the city. This served as a turning point in his life. He is a Job Superintendent for a large Construction Company and does very well for himself

    The first ethical mistake that was made was the DNR status being deflected by the team. In “ANA’s Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements”, it states the right to self-determination in Provision 1.4. This provision guides nurses to know that “patients have the moral and legal right to determine what will be done with and to their own person”. The role of the nurse is to be an advocate for the patients’ wishes (ANA, 2015). There should have been a push to have the DNR signed the first time the family asked for it and not deflected (Chen, 2019).

Furthermore, this displays just how supportive Jeremy is as he does not remain silent when he realizes that his race is the cause of the torment towards the Logan children and how he remains to follow his new acquaintances even if it means that he is forcibly loathed by others in the process.

    Another point - instead of resting (as is recommended in a heart attack situation), we should physically move around, and actually do something which will use up our energy and the adrenaline created by the fight-or-flight reaction. We can focus on the concrete objects in our immediate environment to ensure that we stay in the present i.e. now and here! Other simple actions, like unwrapping & chewing a bubble-gum, counting backwards from 100 to 1, counting the number of people in the gathering etc., are excellent techniques to cope with the sudden attack.
