Assignment: Ethical Issues and Dilemmas in Caring for Children and Adolescents

In medical settings, social workers may face ethical dilemmas around testing, initiating or withholding treatment, disclosing of diagnoses, and more.

Ethical dilemmas may also arise from religious or cultural point of views. When children are involved, it is possible that dilemmas will arise between the children and their parents or between parents and the medical team. When faced with ethical dilemmas, medical social workers must rely on the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, as well as ethical reasoning.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review this week's resources. Think about one childhood or adolescent illness. Consider an ethical issue that could present itself during the care of a child or adolescent.
