2.2 Ethical Considerations

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

Shadow charts were developed to gather data and information for additional departments and medical personnel that need access to part of a patient’s file or records. The original records should always remain in the patient’s primary chart allow copies may be available to ancillary departments that may need access to the information. The same level of confidentiality and security applies to the shadow charts. They must be in a secure location with access by authorized personnel only. Additional information that should be included in shadow charts is a formal recording process to document those who access the information. Furthermore, a consistent system of upgrading the

The two major ethical considerations that are important to address are 9.02 - Use of Assessments and 9.06 - Interpreting Assessment Results. 9.02 - Use of Assessments is particularly important because the psychologist must consider the individual’s language preference and competence. As was noted in the initial case description, Brandon’s parents are both Polish immigrants, and Brandon spoke Polish in home until he attended junior kindergarten. Although he may not have an accent, his language preference should be noted as English may not be the language he is more comfortable using. 9.06 - Interpreting Assessment Results should also be considered. Brandon’s test-taking abilities should be highlighted, as he is suspicious and ambivalent towards the psychological testing. These feelings may negatively affect his test scores, as he may try to either hide how he truly feels, or lie to make himself seem better or worse. It should also be noted that there could be other client characteristics that affect his scores as well, particularly cultural factors.

Administrative standards are policies and procedures established “to prevent, detect, contain, and correct HIPAA security violations” (The HIPAA Security Rule Primer, n.d.). They are administrative actions used to satisfy security requirements as mandated by federal and state

Discuss the ethical dilemmas PMHNPs sometimes find themselves in and name the opposing ethical principles

I have two issues and wanted to know if we have a policy on each one?

An ethical dilemma is a situation in which one need to select from two or more morally acceptable choices or between equally unacceptable actions when one option prevents selection of the other (Ong, Yee & Lee, 2012). An example for an ethical dilemma in the moral values related to health policy is the end of life issues. One of the end of life issues includes withholding and withdrawing the medical treatment. Passive euthanasia is the act of withdrawing life supports or interventions needed to keep a patient alive (American Academy of Physician Assistants, 2014). This is usually done according to the wish of the patient. Patients who do not want to receive resuscitative treatment will opt out of these treatment measures and obtain a do-not-resuscitate

On Thursday August 4, 2016, I was at work. I was informed that there was a young man asking for my work schedule (what days I worked and time) and what car I drove. After no information was given out to him (Tala Toilolo) left my work location in which shortly after Johnnie contacted a former co-worker and a current employee. He asked for the same information. Someone came to my job before my shift was over to watch out for me and inform me of everything she had heard Johnnie and affliates were after. This person warned me to "watch my back, to never be alone, and that whenever I go out whether it was work or anywhere else to not leave anywhere until I made sure my ride arrived ." If someone overhears all this and is friends with

The patients who will be able be part of the inclusion criteria was asked to participate in the study. The purpose of the study, potential benefits and risks, right to confidentiality and right to withdrawal, even without explanation and retrospectively, has been explained through their mother tongue and clarification for any doubts was given through proper explanation. All participants was given a written, informed consent, and they had the chance to ask about it. In addition, they received a copy of the said consent. All records and forms was utilized only by the researchers for data purposes only. Any decisions by the patient due to inconvenience, like increased in pain, experienced from our study was respected. Confidentiality and anonymity was strictly observed by utilizing number allocations for each subject. Proper briefing, which includes: orientation to the intervention, expectations, purpose, and significance of their participation, and debriefing, which includes: thanksgiving, reassurance of confidentiality and anonymity, and providing the participants with the researcher’s contact details in case of concerns, was

The article is about how Americans are concerned about illegal immigration, but also ambivalent what to do about it with the 11 million aliens all ready in the United States illegally. Frustrated with the federal governments failure to protect the borders, several states passed laws allowing state police to check he immigration status of potential unlawful aliens. Some civil rights organizations warn the laws will result in ethic profiling. The Obama administration is suing law makers for violating on federal prerogatives. Advocates of tougher enforcement say undocumented workers are taking up U.S., citizens jobs, but many business and farmers say migrant workers are needed to fill unwanted jobs. Now the government is making hearings of arguments

The Allen family presented in the simulation has several health issues they deal with individually that contribute to the family unit.

The video if part four of a six part series published by the University of Derby, known as, Advanced Qualitative Methods, created to inform students of the advantages and drawbacks of conducting a focus group. The video features, Fiona Holland, Senior Lecturer Psychology, and James Elander, Head of Center for Psychological Research, both from the University of Derby, representing both the benefits and limitations of focus groups. The main benefits of focus groups are the amount of data collected at one time compared to an individual interview, and the ability to compare results from different demographic groups. The limitations

This clinical interview was put in place to optimize instrument objectivity and used to obtain secure information. The IQ- PANSS which stands for Informant Questionnaire for PANSS was also put in place to evaluate a client’s phenomenological presentation. However, the information is obtained via family members, healthcare providers, and other informants, not the individual taking the PANSS. This questionnaire uses item definitions, statements, and questions to obtain from others information on behaviors, frequency of behaviors, and

Legal and ethical considerations. A number of ethical considerations are unique to couples and family therapy. Because most couples and family therapists focus on the family system as the client rather than on the individual’s dynamics, potential ethical dilemmas can arise from the first session, which need to be clarified. Because of the increased complexity of their work, couples and family therapist are faced with more potential ethical conflicts than are practitioners who specialize in individual therapy. Gladding, Remley, and Huber (2001) uphold that therapist can respond to ethical dilemmas over contradictory interest of multiple individuals by recognizing the couple or family system as the focus of treatment rather than single individual as the primary client. Therapists who perform as advocates of the systems avoid becoming an agent of any one partner or family member. Working within a framework that conceptualizes change as affecting and being affected by all family members, practitioners are able to outline problems and consider plans for change in the framework or the family system. The AAMFT Code of Ethics (2001) provides a framework I eight core areas:
