Unethical Practices

If Emanuel accepts the offer he benefits greatly because he will be able to complete his assignments efficiently in his dorm room instead of using the college library but Microsoft will not profit and the roommate will have broken the law and potentially receive a penalty or fine for sharing a licensed product. But if Emanuel denies his roommates offer and

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 dilemma/ethical issue that arises out of this case is in the hands of Jill Lassiter. She is the newly appointed executive director of a charity dedicated to helping single mothers called Good Works for Women. She must get the financial statements in order so that they satisfy Ms. Lyndelle Oakes, the organization’s largest donor. Jill must decide whether to restate her budget using faulty estimates or to be honest about the organization’s difficulties and face losing a crucial donation.

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.).

For this excerise, my partner and I decided to go with option A. The norm we decided to violate was staring at someone's screen. Simar and I went to the IC on Tuesday afternoon and took turns watching over peoples backs. While Simar stood behind our subject and waited for them to notice her, I sat close by to observe the subject's reaction. We decided to minimize the conversation and give one word replies if we were spoken to. We did not initiate conversation and avoided making eye-contact to ensure we dont laugh. Regardless of how the subjects reacted, we stared at each screen for 30 seconds to ensure consistency.

Why does physician-patient communication matter in healthcare? During my nursing school pediatric clinical rotation, one of the patient’s I had the opportunity to provide care for, I will call her Sophia for privacy purposes, was in the pediatric unit recovering from surgery to remove a four-pound trichobezoar (hairball) from her intestines. Sophia was four days postoperative at the time and was on the unit for the purpose of being monitored in order to ensure she was recovering well after the procedure. Recuperation seemed to be taking longer than what would be expected for Sophia and her incision site was draining copious amounts purulent fluid. Because of the reports from Sophia’s nurses along with the residents, the physician who performed the surgery ordered an antibiotic regiment to treat the apparent infection Sophia had acquired.

The boundless potential of tomorrow's artificial intelligence is plighted by the hurdle of ethical conundrums. While robot weapons allow for countries to extirpate the security threats which produce the daily fear that dictates many lives, the use of these tools has to follow a legal precedent. What is the value of life? Further, what constitutes the characteristics of a target? Although, even after such a ruling the use of said weapons should be discouraged given the implications that such strikes will bring about.

An ethical dilemma happens in the workplace more often then we expect. World Class Bull, written by John Humphreys, Zafar U. Ahmed and Mildred Pryor, is a prime example of how sales personnel can manipulate a potential client into a contract. Christopher Knox, a stellar sales employee at Specialty Fleet Services (SFS), just landed the Armadillo Gas & Power account. Samantha Williams, Human Resources Vice President of SFS, was now filing a breach of the company code of ethics against Christopher and the Vice President of Sales, Jeremy Silva for “deceptive business practices” used to make the sale (Humphreys, Ahmed & Pryor, 2009). Disrupting personal space of the client, starting a dishonorable relationship, and

When I first joined a surgical practice in the 90’s. I was brought in under a unique model. Most established practices at the time, would hire a new physician as an employee and after a set amount of time, allowed the physician to buy into the practice for a large dollar amount making them a full partner. I was hired with the guarantee that after one year I would be made a partner and receive my stock certificate to the limited liability corporation (LLC) for $1. During the first 2 years may bass salary was less than my partners to make up for the decrease productivity of a new doctor and the increased overhead associated with a practice start up. Some may consider this a buy in of some degree. Above our base compensation, each member

After review the table l decided not to disclose any information because the harm was more than benefit. Based on the information provided the percentage of infection is very small. The side effective of action is more harmful because the company might close down and coworker will lose job, so many lawsuits in court from previous patients, I will not be able to support my family because l won’t have a job.

I am very impressive with your organization. Moreover, the statement of your organization’s commitment “making the connections, listening to understand and honoring commitments” is rather loathly, and distinctive. Furthermore, I have not heard of a hospital making such claims.

1. We have the responsibility to tell the truth because it creates trust between human beings. I think professionals in the field today might have second thoughts about telling the whole truth to a patient in fear that the news might cause them more distress than it would help them. They might be acting with the best of intentions. But, I think that it violates the ethical code A.9.a. Quality of Care “to be given every opportunity possible to engage in informed decision making regarding their end-of-life care.” If professionals do not share all of the information with the client then the client is unable to make a well informed decision about his own decision making. I think the risk for me would be if I withheld a vital piece of information from my client and he made a life altering decision, like to have treatment or not. He might decide not to take a lifesaving course of action and could pass on. It might not only be an ethical issue, but, how would I feel if I felt I was reasonable for another human beings death? I bet the feeling would be guilt!

At the BSSL we would like to make work a legal, profitable, and comfortable environment to be at during your careers here with us. We are going to start implementing an open door policy.

If an unethical or illegal behavior is reported and proven we would like to offer the employee that comes forth with the information a reward to show our

The movie “Glengarry Glen Ross” presented a series of ethical dilemmas that surround a group of salesmen working for a real estate company. The value of business ethics was clearly undermined and ignored in the movie as the salesmen find alternatives to keep their jobs. The movie is very effective in illustrating how unethical business practices can easily exist in the business world. Most of the time, unethical business practices remain strong in the business world because of the culture that exists within companies. In this film, the sudden demands from management forced employees to become irrational and commit unethical business practices. In fear of losing their jobs, employees were pressured to increase sales despite possible ethical

     Why does this happen? Why don’t salesmen just record what they have actually done instead of doctoring books or changing orders? For one a lot of pressure is put on salesmen. Foremost among the firm's agents who manage the economic and ethical boundaries with the firm's customers are its salespeople. Most firms selling to organizational customers and many firms selling "big ticket" consumer products rely on their sales force to connect to the customer and the market. In such cases, the salesperson represents the firm to most, if not all, of its downstream stakeholders: customers, channel members, and even competitors. As the primary boundary spanner between the firm and its customers, the salesperson faces a constant barrage of decision-making about ethical issues. (Meyer, Charlene, 2003) A lot of pressure is put on sales people. They have
