The Policies Of Developing And An Unethical Practice

Nursing theories and ethical principles serve as the foundation of nursing practice, education, and research (Colley, 2003; Antipuesto, 2011). This paper’s purpose is to elaborate on author’s discussion of her phenomenon of interest (POI) on newborn screening for Critical Congenital Heart Defects (CCHD). The objectives of this paper are to relate the metaparadigm of nursing to the POI, select and discuss a grand nursing theory and a middle-range theory that can be applied to the POI, examine the POI as it relates to the complexity science framework, and to distinguish ethical principles that apply to the POI.

Everyone knows that direct- to consumer-marketing is focused on the patients. There are a lot of ways to get the attention of these patients. Advertising can be done through social media, print, radio, television, and word of mouth. “Prescription direct-to-consumer advertising has become a highly scrutinized and researched topic in healthcare marketing,” (Rollins, B.L., King, K. Zinkhan G., & Perri, M., 2011.).

According to the NASW Code of Ethics for licensed Social Workers, Social Work is clarified as the attention to environmental forces, which creates, contributes, and addresses problems in living, among individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities, with a goal of reducing discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice (NASW, 2008).

Effective nursing, in order to properly serve patients as well as the greater community, must necessarily be based on a strong, unshakeable foundation of ethical practice, which can be expressed through various theoretical nursing models. This paper will examine the theoretical basis for author’s own ethical nursing practice, and relate the theoretical discussion to the specific Phenomenon of Interest that was previously identified in earlier papers.

Policy decisions should be made based on whether the change is technically possible and politically doable, and sometimes whether it’s ethical. For example, chapter 10 of the Shane and Hunker book, talks about the proposal of having the government monitor private networks to protect them from malware. The government may have the technology available to protect or monitor private networks either to prevent malware attacks or to monitor any other type of malicious activity. It may also be politically doable. If there is a way of monitoring networks just by machines without humans looking at the network traffic, then it would not violate the Fourth Amendment. However, in this case, although it’s technically and politically doable, ethics also

guidance. Here service worker should protect the life of client, but at the same time cannot force the client too. The NASW code of ethics states that the social worker should make every effort to foster maximum self determination on the part of clients. “But social worker is not permitted to assist one who contemplates suicide. Such help is contradictory to the rules of professional ethics and values that are central to social work” (CALLAHAN, NOV 1994).

As head of a team working on an Electronic Health Record (EHR) project, it is important to remember that at any moment, a member of the team could find himself with unauthorized access to sensible information. It is capital that we remain always in compliance with the Privacy Rule (Privacy and Security, 45 CFR pt 164, 2006), therefore, a policies and procedures to avoid such unwanted occurrences must be put in place. Here is a policy appropriate to the given short scenario.

The involvement of outside sources or ethical arrangements has been apart of medical practices for as long as they have been around. As the times have progressed, more and more people have meshed together the need for moral obligations within the practice of medicine. From everything from patients who get priority, to how much to charge for a service or drug, ethics have always been applied. The latter of the two I just mentioned is where I will focus on the different ethical viewpoints of that subject matter. The writings of John Locke would have a specific stance on the freedoms of pricing a service or drug. His backing of natural rights would entail a view in which there is no reason to limit how a medical service or drug is priced.

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).

Unethical behavior can be prevented if police agencies recruit the right people, communicate professional values through effective training, and deal appropriately and immediately with individuals who violate codes of conduct. Adherence to a code of ethics and standards of conduct is enhanced when officers are held accountable for their actions (Ortmeier & Meese, 2010). As leaders, we must hold our subordinates accountable for unethical conduct when it occurs; corrective actions retain the public’s trust in police officers, maintain the integrity of the agency, and prevent other misconduct from occurring in the future by establishing a standard that misconduct will not be tolerated. Additionally, officers who maintain ethical standards must

Legal and ethical considerations. A number of ethical considerations are unique to couples and family therapy. Because most couples and family therapists focus on the family system as the client rather than on the individual’s dynamics, potential ethical dilemmas can arise from the first session, which need to be clarified. Because of the increased complexity of their work, couples and family therapist are faced with more potential ethical conflicts than are practitioners who specialize in individual therapy. Gladding, Remley, and Huber (2001) uphold that therapist can respond to ethical dilemmas over contradictory interest of multiple individuals by recognizing the couple or family system as the focus of treatment rather than single individual as the primary client. Therapists who perform as advocates of the systems avoid becoming an agent of any one partner or family member. Working within a framework that conceptualizes change as affecting and being affected by all family members, practitioners are able to outline problems and consider plans for change in the framework or the family system. The AAMFT Code of Ethics (2001) provides a framework I eight core areas:

"Our results indicate that the informal methods ("manager sets an example" or "social norms of the organization") are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than formal methods ("training courses on the subject of ethics") (Adam, et al, 2004).

When thinking of the justice system ethical and professional practices are greatly enforced. There is a code of conduct that criminal justice practitioners are expected to adhere to.

The Public Primary School was established on January 25th 1956.  It was constructed by Trinidad Leaseholds Limited (the precursor company to TEXACO, TRINTOC and PETROTRIN) on lands owned by the named companies and donated to the Gasparillo community.  This institution was established to facilitate chronic overcrowding at Gasparillo Government Primary School.

A lot of challenges are encountered and requires considerations when dealing with ethical and legal issues in our “Education System”. Cooper and Schindler (2011) defined ethics as “norms or standards of behavior that guide moral choice about our behavior and relationship with others” (p. 49). Also Sileo, Sileo & Pierce (2008) defined ethics as a “system of moral principles and values that relates to individual behavior, a class of human actions, or a specific professional group” (p. 44). However, this relates ethics to be a reciprocal process that communicates the professional roles and responsibilities of individuals. Notably, in every profession or business, there are basic ethical and legal standards that are exhibited. These are: “confidentiality, misrepresentation of results, deceiving people, using invoicing irregularities, avoiding legal liability” (Antle & Regehr, 2003, p. 136).
