Applying the D.E.C.I.D.E Model of Decision Making

A man who would agree with Kidder’s message of the universal right of health care is Mahatmas Gandhi. In his speech Economic and Moral Progress Gandhi says that many people mistake economic progress for moral progress. He points out those countries have become more industrial as well as technologically advanced but this upgrade has been at the expense of their obligations to their morality. He cites an example he is very familiar with- the cruel oppression of the British Empire over India. The people were rationed to one meal a day, “No one has ever suggested that grinding pauperism can lead to anything else than moral degradation. Every human being has a right to live and therefore to find the wherewithal to feed himself and where necessary to clothe himself” (334). Gandhi asserts his belief that there are a basic set of human rights that all people are born with no matter what country they live in, what their status, or how much money they earn.

There’s also non-maleficence, which basically means, ‘Do no harm’. The physician assistant must aim at producing a net benefit over harm. 6 If Sally decides not to treat the abusive patient, which is simply abandoning the patient, then she is doing harm. Ignoring the patient’s needs is an act of negligence, which will probably cause the patient’s condition to worsen. Sally must act accordingly with the Deontological view 7, which requires her to do her duty as a medical provider to treat the patient no matter what he does. This requires Sally to show the virtue of compassion as she is trying to provide care even to the most abusive, noncompliant, dishonest patients. This act will also satisfy some of the competencies a physician assistant must uphold: Commitment, dedication and self-regulation.

This essay will consider ethics in nursing, discuss values and morals and how dignity and respect in patient care is influenced; considering the importance of reflection and the implications it has on effective practice from the perspective of a student nurse. The scenario “Call Me Joe” provided by Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2010a) highlights concerning issues and bad practice that are happening in modern day nursing practice, and using the Driscoll and Teh (2001) reflective model: What, Now What and So What, to consider the care that Joe is receiving; considering how the nursing practice affects him directly and the implications of the nature of knowledge in nursing practice. Part of the way in which nursing practice is

There are many things i learned in ten weeks in D.A.R.E class. In D.A.R.E class we learned about bullying, stress, and the D.A.R.E Decision Making Model. These are the three things i will tell you about and explain why i chose them for my essay. Before i tell all my paragraphs about Bullying, stress, and the D.A.R.E Decision Making Model.

The philosophy relayed by the book’s author consistently leads back to the moral question that must be asked in the initial design of the healthcare system. That determination has to do as to whether the government has a duty to act when there are those within their own country do not have equitable access to hospitals and doctors for the treatment of their conditions.14

However, as time went on, several problems arose which had to do with the principle of justice in healthcare. In America, it is the accepted norm that it is unjust to treat one person better or worse than another person, in similar circumstances (Tong, 2007, p.29). In an attempt

Sometimes, our daily lives do not always allow us to operate in a in which our integrity is not compromised. For example, in daily nursing practice,

Throughout the course of the semester, numerous ethical principles have been presented. While the terms and definitions have been easily understood among the class, it is important to understand how these principles are incorporated in health care occupations on a daily basis. Because of this, I chose to interview a registered nurse, whom will further be referred to as Jane Doe, from Indiana University Health Paoli Hospital (IUHP). Indiana University Health Paoli Hospital is a rural hospital in southern Indiana.

Have you ever had a family member or friend that have had problems with alcohol,tobacco products,or even bullying? Well in D.A.R.E. (which stands for Drug,Abuse,Resistance,Education, or Define,Assess,Respond,Evaluate),we learned how to handle all of these problems with the DDMM (D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model).

Nurses are subject to a plethora of legal, ethical, and professional duties which can be very challenging on a day to day basis. Some of these duties include respecting a patient 's confidentiality and autonomy, and to recognize the duty of care that is owed to all patients. As nurses our duties are always professional; however there are legal implications if these duties are breached. We also must consider when it is okay as nurses to breach these duties and therefore ethical issues arise. As nurses one of our main priorities is to advocate for our patients, without our own personal feelings on the matter taking over.

At this point, this patient has expressed that, he is in pain and has become physically agitated, I would have to describe to patient’s moral development stage to be Gilligan’s phase 1, in that he is concerned for his own survival. The nurse can be best described as experienced in the Behavioral Psychology nurse with years of experience in different care setting, I feel that, nurses development would fall with Gilligan’s phase 3, The Imperative of Care, in which, “reflects a deep appreciation of connectedness, including responsibility to self and others as moral equals, and a clear imperative to harm no one” (Burkhart, 2014, p.116, para 4). As for the nurse’s aide, that her role in this situation had had caused it to escalate and she had become

The writer believes Jesus is her leader, and the patient is the primary center for attention. She believes it is her duty to handle each patient with dignity and render the appropriate care. Health is a universal term that is more than the absence of illness. As a future nurse practitioner, she believes that she the responsibility to her Lord, the creator and His people to provide the best available care with the supervision of a physician.

First of all, regarding the moral rule of 'Beneficence' which is to be of benefit to the patient, Mr.Bill's feelings should be considered by the nurses but at the same time they shouldn't completely ignore the rule , because the rule is important in protecting the patient from having bed

Although risks will never be eliminated completely it can be reduced by applying good processes and procedures (HSE 2007). In the case study ‘Mildred’s Story’ there is evidence to indicate an urgent call for the healthcare service to consider the current system for managing care and safeguarding patients. Change in any organisation can only be achieved by changing the organisational culture. Working in any environment requires taking risks. Therefore it is clearly important to be able to identify, analyse, control and manage these risks by using a methodological (HSE 2009)

The practical training periods associated with most careers in health care allude to an inherent adoption of casuistry – the moral system that promotes reflection of the individuals’ previous experiences and how the knowledge gained may be applied to the current circumstances - in many of its professionals (Beauchamp & Walters, 2008). With regards to Mr. McCullough’s experience, it is possible that the health care providers in question had previously interacted with patients of similar circumstances who had chosen to withdraw treatment as to improve their quality of life, thus prompting the healthcare provider to offer what they may consider a personal, but professional opinion (Beauchamp & Walters, 2008). Moreover, recent media attention to
