This paper will breakdown the difference between clinical and institutional ethics. How this can cause conflict between healthcare and society.

During this interview, I addressed some of parts highlighted in Ethical Principal 2.1.1 of the social work Code of ethics. I demonstrated professional demeanor and behavior by stating the confidentiality statement and I guided the client to know that she could express herself freely and openly without judgement. When the client and I first sat down I also made sure to set the mood with a relaxed “Good Morning how are you doing today” This lead to start other side conversations consequently creating an atmosphere appropriate for this type of interview. Because we could converse on other subjects besides the actual question. Thus, we could engage in effective communication from the beginning. We were also able to make good non-verbal gestures

Ethics are rules of conduct and moral principles of an individual which have various origins such as family, culture, and social environment. Given the diversity of people in the healthcare profession and the importance of providing care that is ethically sound

Physical therapists are responsible to uphold a high degree of professionalism as they “transform society by optimizing movement to improve the human experience. ”1 The APTA established a set of guidelines to serve as a reference for therapists during ethical and moral decision-making. Also a handbook of rules was created to ensure physical therapists understand the standards associated with lawful practice. These guidelines are to help therapists uphold their legal, moral, and ethical obligations to the profession and to their patients.

This sort of behavior refers to the ethical principle of justice. To be just, a physical therapist must assess the needs of patients equally and provide clients with unbiased information about treatment plans (Hamilton, 2011). These needs should be attended to without prejudice towards a client’s age, gender, personality, race, religion, or lifestyle (APTA, 2013). Respecting this action of justice means the physical therapist is acting according to the first and fourth principles. The PT will also be following the additional principles of three and five if they are fairly and equally deal with all supervisors, colleagues, assistants, and interns (Hamilton, 2011).

Karrie, it is evident in this case study that the three basic ethical principles were violated. Those principles include: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. I believe justice is the one we should comply with the most. Justice is defined as treating all individuals fairly (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber, 2014). This is something that I believe that should be innate in all of us. I would like to think that we all should treat everyone that way that we would want to be treated. To me this is just human nature and a part of who I am. I cannot understand how the healthcare members treated these men with such disrespect and injustice.

We demonstrate Justice from an ethical clinical perspective when we provide the same quality of care to all patients regardless of background whether it be ethnicity, socioeconomic status or age. From an ethical business perspective, we demonstrate justice when we develop policies and procedures that are shared with everyone and no one is discriminated against because of their ability to pay we utilize justice. Autonomy is demonstrated from a clinical aspect when we effectively communicate, share information and follow through on request for our patients. Likewise, from a business aspect all policies we create to protect patients and protect confidentiality is centered around both autonomy and fidelity. Policies and procedures that are created

​As future professionals of Physical Therapy it is important that we abide by the ethics code and not become bias or have a negative attitude towards our patience because they might differ physically, mentally, religiously, ethnically or from health. From the text Mobility in Context , “defines professionalism well, “increasing your ability to have a positive influence on their lives. (Johansson & Chinworth, 2012)”As future professional of health care don’t we want this for our patients, to be well cared for and to have a positive influence on their life? Unfortunately, there have been cases in the health care system in which there has been negative bias on patients. One negative bias that seems to get less attention (in my eyes) is those who are obese. There have been cases that have shown how the negative attitudes towards those patients can cause an affect on their emotional and physical aspect.

Physical Therapy is one of the most quickly growing occupation fields within the United States, and with this quick growth arises questions of ethics and morality. Physical therapy consists of the treatment of disease through physical methods, including light, heat, cold, sound waves, electricity, and exercise. This means that physical therapists and physical therapist’s assistants can use many different methods to treat people. However, treating people can be very difficult because of all the various possibilities and reactions that could occur with these different treatments.

For over 75 years the profession of physical therapy has required it's members to adhere to a standard of ethical behavior.1 The first Code of Ethics adopted by the American Physiotherapy Association in 1935 focused mainly on the relationship between the physical therapist (PT), referring physician, and the disciplinary actions of violating that relationship.2(p.4) Since then the Code of Ethics has evolved into what the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) refers to as the Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapist (PT Code), and the Standards of Ethical Conduct for the Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA Standards).2(p.5),3,4 Today the Code and Standards are designed around the association's core set of values to

Ethical dilemma occurs when there are two ways of doing things. One way can be the moral way by taking any decision and other can be the legal way. It is a situation which can involve an apparent conflict between moral values or actions which if obeyed, may result in emotional decisions taken (Allen, 2012) In order to determine an ethical dilemma it is necessary to make a distinction between ethics, values, morals and other law and policies. Ethical dilemma also involves the distinction between personal, emotional and professional actions. Giving an example of the ethical dilemma if a patient is on its last stage there can be an argument of giving the patient sedation so that the patient is relaxed and his pain is relieved or the patient should be left on his own so that he or she can talk and respond to the family members so that people around them can interact for the last time (Gwyther, 2011). If the sedation is given the patient is relaxed and if sedation is not given the patient can be in pain, may be screaming which can make the people around him uncomfortable. This type of sedation that is used at the last stage of life is known as palliative sedation. There is the argument going on in the favor and against of palliative seduction. This essay will give the reasons and facts in favor of giving the palliative sedation as it relieves the patient from the pain who is already in its final stage of life and want to leave the world in peace. It also reduces the
