Ethical Dilemma And Ethical Dilemmas

Ethical dilemmas occur when there is a disagreement about a situation and all parties involved question how they should behave based on their individual ethical morals. (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The dilemma that I will be addressing in this essay involves Michael, recently employed male educator working in the nursery, and parents of a baby enrolled at the centre. The parents have raised concerns about male educators changing their child’s nappy as they have cultural practices that do not allow this practice to take place. This situation is classed as an ethical dilemma as there is a dispute between cultural beliefs and legal requirements within the workplace. There are four parties involved (parents, child, educator and director), all

Ethical implications arise when a situation deals with principles of morality and resolution is neither right nor wrong. Because of the stress and emotion ethical dilemmas present us with; steps have been recognized to help work through determination. Although each and every situation is unique, a framework for problem resolution along with laws for ethical situations has taken effect.

The question of what is truly the nature of justice remains an unanswered question as noted by Bertrand Russell in ‘The History of Western Philosophy’ wherein he notes that Socrates was unable to provide a convincing rebuttal of Glaucon’s arguments on justice, and neither have all the social philosophers since, been able to do. Amartya Sen, in his book ‘The Idea of Justice’, has

Every day we are faced with certain situations that challenge us with how to act in an ethical manner. It can be human nature to feel unsure or conflicted with the correct moral choice. Some can say that one should know how to handle such dilemmas and others may say that there should be a reference of some sort to help guide through such conflicts. Sometimes we know the answers and sometimes we are unsure of how to handle certain situations. Most times we go through life wondering what we should do. As I become further educated on the different theories of ethics, I believe there are answers that are available in guiding one through an ethical dilemma and or judgment. I will discuss Vincent Ruggiero’s three basic criteria, Robert Kegan’s order of consciousness, the three schools of ethics and the correlation between all three.

The purpose of this paper is to present an ethical dilemma, as well as describe stakeholder involvement and any policies and laws involved in this dilemma. According to Butts and Rich (2016), an ethical dilemma is defined as a complex situation in which a person must chose between two actions. Ethical dilemmas are predominant on a day to day basis in the nursing profession. When nurses face ethical dilemmas, often none of choices or options feel completely right therefore they are centered around moral importance, critical thinking, and the principle to do the most “good” for patients (Butts & Rich, 2016).

As part of an effort to hire younger workers, a multinational organization assures applicants that they will get to visit its offices in other countries and work with the employees there. However, only two out of every nine workers actually get selected for such projects. What moral dilemma best fits this scenario?

The purpose of this paper is to describe an ethical dilemma, and discuss a solution based on a bioethical standard. In doing so, I will also consider the context of the ethical dilemma, the role of reason and the desire of the patient. Inherent in working as a nurse in a psychiatric emergency room, I am faced with ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. Ethical dilemmas relating to a) patient rights- a right to refuse medication and treatment, to the least restrictive environment possible, to privacy and confidentiality, to have and give informed consent. b) patient autonomy- patients held on a voluntary or involuntary basis (Eren, 2014; Townsend, 2015). Children present with unique needs because they cannot consent for themselves, are developmentally immature, need care, advocacy, and protection.

An ethical dilemma can lead to extremely complex and challenging choice. For instance paramedic and a register nurse might be faced with the options of whether to continue treating the terminally ill patient as per the request of the family members which may cause the patient to suffer or to withhold the treatment and allow nature to take its course on the health of the patient. Respecting the request of the family members and perform what is good for the patient are both acceptable professionally and ethical. The choice as to which course of action is best to take is very personal and moral (Natale, 2012).

“Brad is a production engineer at a bicycle company and part of his job includes inspecting broken bikes and drafting the design repairs for their repair” (Bartlett). Brad is considering replacing a broken brake cable with a more durable material, even though the customer did not request it in their order and specifically requested that “No aesthetic changes be made to the bike” (Bartlett). Brad’s manager suggests that his considered actions would go against the company’s policy of “The customer is always right.” Should Brad disobey the manager and the customer to possibly lose his job or go along with

I am a counselor and educator at the Hemophilia Foundation in Chicago, Illinois. I work with individuals and families who are at risk for AIDS and HIV. During my first session with John on Monday, he disclosed his concern that he might have contracted HIV during a blood transfusion. In fact, John agrees the best course of action is to be tested for HIV. On Wednesday, John comes in my office after finding out that he tested positive for HIV. In addition, John would like for me to help break the news of his diagnosis to his girlfriend Sally, and her parents. Unfortunately, I did receive a call from the hospital stating that John is in the ICU with pneumonia and AIDs.

Is the new cancer drug more effective than standard protocol? Does the new cancer drug increase the population prevalence, and decreases mortality than the standard protocol? The independent variable is the experimental treatment and the dependent variable is cancer.

In this week’s discussion we are asked to analyze, form an opinion, and explain the actions we would take on two different ethical dilemmas.

Ethical dilemmas arise with establishing a “shared cultural identity” to federally recognized tribes. According to Larsen and Walker, giving authority to close relatives over the disposition of human remains is a culturally accepted universal. However, ethical issues arise when deciding authority to individuals who are distantly related to the human remains, which often spans over hundreds and thousands of years. Larsen and Walker noted that NAGPRA only grates authority to federally recognized tribes, and provides no recognition to other Native American tribal entities who are not federally recognized. In addition to non- federally recognized tribes not having recognition under NAGPRA, Larsen and Walker state that many groups encourage universal

Ethical and moral dilemmas are an ineluctably ineluctable issue health care provider’s will face, this often leaves the provider torn in making the right decision. When providers are faced with an ethical or moral issue, the right answer is not always clear; and the process of resolving an issues requires the practitioner to examine the situation and make a decision predicated on what will be the best outcome. The purport of this paper to examine an ethical issue, describe the circumventing issues, and compare with Ohio state laws and regulations. Supplementally, the process of addressing the ethical issue with be outlined.
