Assignment:
1- Explain the statement, "What may be an ethical dilemma for one registered nurse may not be an ethical dilemma for another registered nurse." Be sure to define an ethical dilemma in the course of your discussion. Describe a challenging situation in your nursing career that required you to consider the ethical dimensions of the patient case and the role you played in providing care. (Be sure to respect and maintain patient and colleague confidentiality.)
2- Apply the framework of The Five R's approach to ethical nursing practice from this week's reading to answer the questions about values and choices.
What are values?
Q 1. What are your personal values?
Q 2. Why do you value them?
Q 3. What are the values in your society?
Q 4. How do you make choices?
Q 5. Are your choices based on your values?
Q 6. What values are useful in society?
What are the limits to personal choice?
Q 7. Who limits your choices?
Q 8. Are limits to choices good?
Q 9. Do you limit other people's choices?
Q 10. Should the health care organization or the government limit people's choices? If so, how, and under what circumstances?
Q 11. A common idea in health care is that if you are drawn to health care as a profession, you are inherently guided by an inner compass that is composed of a strong moral framework. Why is this a dangerous assumption?
