Legal And Ethical Issues

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.

This report will address the ethical and management issues presented in the case studies Seven Eleven, Are organisation’s exploiting ‘non-employees’ and New and challenging HRM issues in China and India. The main ethical issues raised by these case studies are cultural diversity issues, discrimination and employee working conditions. Along with these ethical issues there are also management issues outlined Corporate Greed and an issue Human resource. This resulted in loss of thousands of dollar for the seven eleven employees, non-employees experiencing sudden loss of income due to casual and temporary work, and IT workers in India forced to work very long hours as well as poor working conditions in China.

In another realm of issues, ethical problems reared their head in this project as well. In more than one instance, information was withheld from STI to protect the interests of SEC. Ultimately, the integrity of SEC came into question once STI found out about the situations. First, with the first test matrix, Henry Larsen did not want to tell STI about the inability of the matrix to meet product specifications. Since it was during a preliminary phase of the project, he wanted to tell STI later into the project when it will be too late to change it. Furthermore, at another point in the project, Gary and the other staff had not informed STI that they were working on a new material, which ultimately indicated poor communication. Lastly, the final ethical issue came into play when SEC the production contract with STI after becoming aware that the life age testing indicated that the product may only have a life of about 5 years. This information should have been forthcoming in such a situation, but Gary and Paula both agreed to not say anything about it. It is obvious from the actions of such key players in this case, that SEC is not a company that has high ethical standards. This thought can further be justified, when

The definition of rumor to me is just a story with no confirmation. This rumor has been circling for over a year now. I was reported from a site call “Gummy Post”, which ironically is a fake site. I say it spread both nationally and internationally. Well, I believe that someone

Ethico-legal issues and conflicts arise when health professionals are faced with difficult decisions, even though the outcomes may be unfavourable or pose risk to their patient (Mistovich & Karren, 2014). In another phrase, ethico-legal issues are challenging because they often cause paramedics to choose between the lesser of two evils. Thus, it is a normal part of a paramedic’s job to make difficult decisions in ambiguous situations (Townsend & Luck, 2013). The case study on Cara highlights an array of ethical and legal considerations that need to be enforced, with the main two being the vague nature of competency and capacity and the legal and ethical issues associated with an advanced care directive.

In Ontario, the College of Physicians and Surgeons’ (CPSO) position on consent for minors is not age-dependent thus requiring the surgeon or attending physician to conduct an adequate assessment to determine the capacity to consent (CPSO, 2001). If determined unable to fully comprehend the full nature of benefits and risks from opting in or out of surgery, the parents up until 16 years of age can decide.

Legal, ethical, and policy issues are an important aspect of nursing and medical informatics. Nurses should be aware of the dilemmas facing the use of informatics in the health care facilities. It is important to note the legal issues facing nursing because of the charges of negligence that can be incurred on the nurse if not aware. Ethical dilemmas of privacy including security breaches can be detrimental to the facility, and the patients. Nurses should also be aware of the policies regarding privacy, and confidentiality. These actions can help prevent issues and aid in improving the health care system, especially in

Unethical business research happens more often than we think. At times the evidence is clearly there or on the fence. Researchers conclude studies for companies, to find results or outcomes, and report the results to management for a sound decision. However, the problem is some studies or researchers may be basis, but mainly ethics is the issue. My paper is about Bayer the maker of Yasmin and Yaz birth control pills. With all pharmaceutical products, there are side effects. Normally when medicine is purchased in the store, side effects are usually printed on the packaging and bottle for consumers to read and make sound decision about taking the medication. What if the manufacture concealed valuable information

As we grow up, our parents’ views on what is morality good and bad is embedded into the way we see issues and situations. One ethical issue that splits society into two groups is the death penalty. In the movies Dead Men Walking and Return to Paradise the death penalty is a controversy due to the different perspectives. Moreover, there are ethical issues and ethical theories such as utilitarianism and ethical formalism that applies to both these movies.

School counselors are responsible for abiding by the ethical standards. The ethical standards should be known by school counselor educators as well as taught to students (ASCA, 2010). According to the American School Counseling Association (ASCA; 2010), “professional school counselors are advocates, leaders, collaborators and consultants who create opportunities for equity in access and success in educational opportunities by connecting their programs to the mission of schools and subscribing to professional responsibility” (p. 1). Ethical standards and laws are both “based on generally accepted norms, beliefs, customs, and values” (Linde, 2015, pp. 147-148). While school counselors are to respect the personal beliefs of their clients under the ethical standards (Linde, 2015), they also need to abide by the law due to the law “carrying greater sanctions or penalties for failure to comply” (Linde, 2015, p. 148). The ethical standards and laws are to “ensure the best interest of the client” (Linder, 2015, p. 148).

The United Nations has suggested numerous policies for companies to implement to ensure the human rights of all people are upheld, especially with regards to minority groups like women. The “Protect, Respect, and Remedy” Policy Framework can be utilized to ensure gender equality in our organization. The policy framework includes:

With warp speed advances in the fields of science, medicine, and technology there is no doubt we can expect a large number of students to enter into any number of fields or professions requiring an understanding of bioethics. Students should be asking the following questions: a) What is the ethical question? b) What are the relevant facts? c) Who or what could be affected by the way the question gets resolved? and, d) What are the relevant ethical considerations? (NIH). Thanks to the Belmont Report, the NIH, medical schools, and a multitude of interdisciplinary professionals there has been a marked increase in the awareness of the importance of providing these students and future students with an education in the study of bioethics. What has

In the case analysis of Sycamore Pharmaceuticals John Blake should come forward with the information that he has on the negative study about Osteoporin. Telling the truth is the ethical and responsible thing to do for his company and for the people using this product. This honesty may cost Mr. Blake his position within the company but will protect his reputation in the business world and could prevent legal action to be taken against him. Failure to be honest could still cost him his position and damage his reputation preventing him from finding work elsewhere. There is truth in the saying that trust is hard to earn and easy to lose and once lost even harder to regain.

Today’s world computer crimes are internet related, and in this area carrying out law barriers are either not well defined or most of the countries they don’t have arraign cyber crime laws. Those laws deliver the absence of the safe, the only substitute is protection against apparent warning exists is to develop ones own, depend on constitutional protection, a big range, and ethics to reduce constitutional entrance.
