    According to Ed 's physician, if he is not placed on a ventilator, he will die within a few days from pneumonia and lung congestion causing low levels of oxygen. These situations are ethically tough to evaluate, as their is never a right or wrong answer, but more so using one 's best clinical judgement if the patient still holds the capacity to make sound decisions.

"It is a patient 's written directive to continue or to withhold treatment or to administer painkilling drugs if the person has incurable disease, illness, or condition via which the patient has become incompetent and…

    Elisha Burden Founder’s Scholarship, The King’s College October 27th, 2016 Word Count: 1, Solomon counsels, that “Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, But the one who gathers by labor increases it”(Proverbs 13:11). With immorality at an all time high, there is a disappointing deficit of integrity driven individuals and corporations within society. Companies are far too often only invested in the typically conceived physical well being of the environment, and they neglect what is arguably of superior importance, the social environment.

    Tyco executives took monetary rights away from shareholders, which is considered illegal and unethical. HealthSouth can be seen as unethical under the Rights theory as they failed to provide investors with their right to access materially accurate information.

    In addition to ethical issues faced in healthcare organizations, are legal issues. According to Pozgar (2016), laws are enacted to regulate human behavior for the benefit of society. Laws are a basis for conduct in our society and if breached can lead to serious implications. Public policy is the principle of law that holds that no one can do that which tends to be injurious to the public or against the public good (Pozgar, 2016, p. 240). Though not directly involved with patient care, a health services administrator should enhance the overall quality of life and well being of individuals under their organizations care.…
