Especially since she was just trying to know that her husband would not be hurt by mowing the lawn. Based on what I have learned thus far in the class, I know that no matter how ridiculous the concern may sound I need to respect the patient and allow them to voice their concern. I would have listen to the wife of the patient and would have reassured her that while I know that she is worried about her husband he should be okay to mow the lawn and then I would have ended the conversation by letting the patient’s wife know that if she or her husband have any other worries or questions that they could contact me.

Although the fears are natural, mostly because people have always associated the black market with a negative connotation, the ethical fears out-weigh the idea that donating a kidney can save a person’s life (Taylor, 2006).
