The patient presents with disorganized thought process as evidenced by inability to discuss safe and stable discharge plan to include engaging in medication management, and ways to deal with anger. The patient was encouraged to depart the family therapy session due to becoming verbally hostile with his mother. The patient utilized an elevated tone of voice in response to his mother asking him if he was hearing voices. The patient's mother attempted to console the patient by placing her hands on his arms. The patient responded by jerking his arms back and moved closer to his mother while continuing to stare at her aggressively. This clinician intervened promptly and excused the patient from the family therapy session. It appears as though if this clinician did not intervene the patient may have physically assaulted his mother.The patient continued to sit down without speaking and required escorting out of the conference where the family therapy session was being held. The patient's mother appears unable to observe social cues when her the patient is anger as evidenced by her intentions of being affectionate towards him when he is yelling at her and staring at her aggressively.

The men of Macon county who were from a line of lower educated people and farmers were mistreated, lied, and used as experiments is one of the most shocking things I have learned in the class so far. It really hits home for me because I come from a small town in rural America where you wake up earlier work all day, get home when it?s dark just to survive in this world. I could not even begin to imagine doing this while being subjected to the treatment these men where by the government. I don?t feel as if informed consent would have even mattered in this experiment and make it ethical, there are multiple reason why I say this. The nation was at a place where blacks were viewed as less than humans and only white folk mattered. The scientific

When faced with ethical dilemmas, medical practitioners should be guided by the ethical precepts of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. These ethical precepts are of absolute importance in which ethical problems, faced in medicine, are taught to professionals and medical students alike (Christen, Ineichen & Tanner, 2014). Where conflicting obligations and responsibilities are faced, these codes will also provide some sort of framework in making informed choices (Turner, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to briefly explain what these four precepts are, and to apply them to the disciplines of psychotherapy, public health and scientific research to demonstrate how important and vital it is to adhere to them. I will also apply

Therefore, an ethical dilemma exists when the right thing to do is clear or when members of the healthcare team cannot agree on the right thing to do. Ethical dilemmas require negotiation of different points of view (potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall 2011pg 78).
