Ethics in Long Term Care Administration Introduction The motivation behind the Code of Ethics for Long Term Health Care Administrators is to serve as an aide for individual behavior in the act of the calling. The South Carolina Board of Long Term Health Care Administrators perceives the obligation of the Administrator under the watchful eye of the inhabitants of nursing homes and group private consideration offices (Thomas, Jefferson & Lasserson, 2013). Keeping in mind the end goal to advance the most astounding nature of execution in the act of LTHC Administration, the Board has built up the accompanying basic standards for the direction of the calling.…
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. If the physician believed as if Ed 's symptoms are effecting his decision making ability, then I believe Dr. Goldstein 's act of calling Bert was ethically sound. "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…
Ethics is a topic that every nurse comes in contact with on a daily basis. It determines how nurses carry out the duties of the job and how the public perceives the profession as a whole. The College of Nurses of Ontario (further referred to as CNO) has outlined the ethical standard of nursing and has created a document that all nurses can rely on to build the foundation of their ethics in the workplace. Ethics in nursing has developed and changed over the course of the existence of nursing. This evolution is important to note as it highlights how the ethics in nursing developed from physician oriented to patient oriented and how different views may be held by the patients for the role of a nurse in their healthcare.…
In my view, nursing entails giving quality care to patients while concurrently adhering with codes of conducts that are affiliated with the profession. The core values of nursing define the driving force that dictates my values and behaviors. These core values include honesty, responsibility, equality of all patients, the pursuit of new knowledge, the desire to prevent and alleviate suffering and the belief in human dignity. Nurses discharge their responsibilities and make their ethical decisions based on the framework of the ANA 2014 code of ethics. The main principles surrounding the ANA code of ethics can be categorized into, • Confidentiality, this is the protection of clients’ privileged information • Fidelity, exercising the protection…

In my opinion, the results of research (the cells, the cell lines) belong to the Lack family though the cells were used to develop disease prevention vaccine for polio, Parkinson's Leukemia, and the flu (Grady, 2010). The doctors did not protect Henrietta's privacy. A sample of her cells were given to Dr. George Gey, the researcher without permission. Her family members had no idea that her information was released to a third party. There was no informed consent given by the patient or family, which allows the physician or health care worker to examine or perform a treatment or a clinical trial on the patient.…
Ethical issue When one is collecting research at a facility the researcher is required to maintain confidentiality if an agreement has been signed. However, they also be mandated by the laws of the states to report abuse as “18 states require reporting by anyone with reason to suspect child abuse”(). Keeping in mind the definition of child abuse may be different from state. In addition, the researchers may also be by other “legal and ethical guidelines such as social workers, educators, and psychologists”().…
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.…
These ethical considerations regarding developmental capacity to give assent and consent suggest that intensive treatments should focus on older children and adolescents and that all decision-makers (parent, child, and physician) need to reach a consensus before beginning intensive treatment. Additionally there is concern over insurance coverage that is often unavailable or inadequate for obesity services, even if recommended by professional and governmental organizations. This issue raises questions of distributive justice, since barriers preventing payment may intensify existing socio-demographic disparities in obesity (Cuttler et al.,…
As both a consumer and professional in the health care industry, I must admit that the majority of my information collection and communication exists online. I utilize online resources to research both my health and my patient's health needs. Within the Veterans Health Care system I network with colleagues through online messaging at well as mass email network groups which includes Occupational Therapist's nationwide within each specialty. I've found social networking is also useful for information collection. According to Deloitte Health Solutions managers Keckley and Hoffmann (2010), organizations utilize online social media to collect reports of patient experiences, share public information about health, and connect with key stakeholders.…
Utilitarianism is the moral aspect of what someone is doing and how their emotions are going to be related to the outcome of the situation. With utilitarianism you want to have the best outcome for the largest group of people that you can. This is an example of the teleological system because the outcome is going to be natural and is going to benefit the greatest number of people. A really good example of utilitarianism is the placement of CFC on daily used household products. This allows people to know and understand that the product they are getting ready to use is going to slowly deplete the ozone layer.…

Care, defined from Webster dictionary, are the things that are done to keep someone healthy, or safe. The ethics of care understands that caring for a person depends on interpersonal connections and the morally concerned person so it does change from person to person. The ethics of care does not reflect traits from deontology and has persuasive qualities but also an irreparable defect. The ethics of care allows people to show empathy for whom they choose to and gives leeway for humanity to be partial.…
