•  Note your paper  (3-4 pages) must include responses to the following: 
• Identify the ethical issues related to the selected case and explain why they are issues.
• Referring specifically to the documents, "Principles of the Ethical Practice of Public Health" and "Skills for the Ethical Practice of Public Health," identify specific ethical principles that would be most effective when applied to the ethical issues in this case scenario and justify your choices. In your evaluation, explain the consequences of these ethical principles as well; in other words, the barriers or costs of applying these actions as opposed to others.
• Explain how you, as a public health administrator, would apply these principles in this situation (i.e., What actions would be most effective?). Are these actions in alignment or in conflict with your personal values? Briefly explain your response. Be specific and provide examples.
