    outclassed Cobb so relentlessly that Cosell vowed to never announce another fight. It was an ethical decision based on justifiable criteria, but it made him look buffoonish to the common man: The still-healing Cobb quipped that hed let Holmes punch him in the face for another fifteen rounds if Howard promised to quit covering football, too. It never mattered if Cosell was lecturing on a subject he understood deeply (such as Alis constitutional rights as a pacifist) or something he did not understand at all (like the strategic nuances of baseball). His reasoning was always circular: What Im saying is true because I am the person saying it. Of course, Cosell would have never expressed anything…

    For this situation, it seems like Dr. Jones and Connie are considering perusing a romantic relationship beginning with a coffee date. One of the ethical problems that come to mind is the impact the relationship between Dr. Jones and Connie may have on Tommy's improvement, and whether this impact may be harmful. This is a possible problem because Tommy's psychological and behavioral problems began after his parent's divorced.

Furthermore, another ethical problem that comes to mind is the impact that the previous therapeutic relationship between Dr. Jones and Connie…

    Nurse leaders work under very stressful situations and these stressful situations can lead to ethical dilemmas which can create the potential for moral distress. Inadequate nurse leaders often fail to address ethical dilemmas which can put patients and their staff members in danger. True nurse leaders will have the courage to challenge people when they see healthcare violations. They are the ones that are able to see in ways that are out of the norm and then find solutions to help resolve these challenges. They must not be afraid to take the first steps in being a role model or help develop and practice moral courage in the nursing profession.…

    A conflict between a physician and patient on the course of treatment is a common topic that arises in bioethical conversation. This case explores the topic of paternalistic choices dealing with patient autonomy and when it is ethically reasonable for a physician to intervene and decide as to whether an individual is competent to make decisions about their own care. The patient in the case, Mr. Howe was asked to make a lifesaving medical decision while in duress and not fully understanding the procedure and the potential outcome if he refused. In this case I believe the physician made the correct decision to intubate Mr. Howe against his explicit instructions not to. The physician made a determination that the patient was not accurately expressing his wishes as if he was of sound mind.…

    The Ethical Dilemma It is an impossible decision to take someone’s life, even if it is an act of mercy or love. Watching a friend or family member suffer from injuries that essentially confirm their death makes it hard not to want to end that suffering. There is no way to completely justify the intentional death of any person, especially a loved one, because an outcome of death is a permanent one. There is no way to take that back or change your mind once the decision is made.…

There may seem like an obvious answer, namely that, of course only those with the ability to rationalize can be rational. It’s like saying that only dogs can bark, obviously a dog that can’t bark is still a dog. What then is the quality that gives it its name? What makes a human?…

    As nurses, we sometimes get ourselves in situations whether or not to respect the client’s wishes when they are against the medical orders for care. In Burkhardt and Nathaniel (2014), ethical dilemmas are when there are conflicting morals happening with a patient. To help guide the nurses, ethical dilemmas require them to think critically about situations and figure out the appropriate decision to create the best outcome for their patient and patient’s family. According to Murray (2010), nurses require moral courage, which requires to them to stand up for what they believe in when it comes to providing the safest and ethically care for a patient. No matter how a situation conflicts with an ethical aspect, being able to speak up for the patient and knowing their best interest makes for better nurses.…
