NURS 2513 Ethical Issues in Nursing
Question
Answered

1. Assessing the ethics of the situation, relationships, goals, beliefs and values. Discuss your own values; make up information about the others involved in the situation; note that whoever is included in your case study must also be included in this step.

2. Reflecting on and reviewing potential actions: Recognizing available choices and how these choices are valued. Note: If there is any law related to the case study that can aid you in decision making then outline the law and how it is applied. For example, the law may have limitations or exemptions that you need to discuss.

3. Selecting an ethical action: Maximizing the good. Need to consider how to act in this situation. You will identify a solution at the end of this discussion, so the action you propose to take.

4. Engaging in ethical action. Use the CNA (2017) Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses; make sure you use the ethical responsibilities from the CNA Code as you work through this area to determine if your proposed action is what a reasonably prudent and ethical nurse would do in the situation.

So this discussion is analogous to how you used the clinical scenarios and CNO behavioural directives in the first paper to show why you upheld, or not, an ethical value. In this final paper, you will describe how your chosen action fits with the CNA ethical responsibilities and so you can conclude that your chosen action is acceptable.

· Unlike the final step in the Oberle and Raffin model, your final subheading should be something about Reflecting on and reviewing this ethical assignment. Rather than using the language and questions that are noted in this area, you are instead to describe and reflect on the impact this assignment has had on you as a professional nurse. How might your learning inform your practice? Then, describe and reflect on the impact this assignment has had on you personally. What personal values/beliefs were reinforced, challenged, or changed? Has your perspective on the ethical issue shifted? If so, in what way?
