• Professional relationships you develop with people you support are another matter; you are required to provide the same quality support for all, not just for those who share your views and beliefs. • Knowing what you need to do and achieving it successfully is not the same thing. • Working in the health sector, you are bound to come across people with views you don’t agree with, and who never seem to understand your point of view. • Awareness of differences, your reaction to them and how they affect the way you work is a crucial part of personal and professional development. • If you allow your own preferences to dominate your work with people, you fail to perform to the standards set by the UK regulating bodies, they require workers to respect and promote people’s individual views and wishes.
We are all individual, no two people are the same hence it is not appropriate to say that because two people have dementia that they both have the same care and support needs. The values which one person feels are important in their life may not be so to another. 1.2 Explain why person-centred values must influence all aspects of social care work. To provide the best support to a person, their values must be taken into account and by doing so you will be empowering that person, increasing their self-determination and encouraging their independence. A person’s values will include their individuality, rights, choices, privacy, independence, dignity and respect.
Person centred care is a method of caring that is centred around the individual, not just their health needs. We are all individuals and no two people are the same, therefore it is not accurate to say that because two people are suffering from dementia, that they both have the same care and support needs. The values which one person feels are important in their life may not be the same as another. Providing the best support to a person, their values, must be taken into consideration, and by doing so you will be empowering that person, increasing their self determination and improving their independence. A person's values will include their individuality, rights, choices, privacy, independence, dignity and respect.
Although our work has been validated by a research scholar and eminent writer such as Rose, what is most important is how this book is put to use. Readers of this book will come away with a renewed faith in the possibilities of public education. But they must not stop there. There are those in our society who would prefer not to have to pay for the education of the poor, the disenfranchised, the nonconformists. There are those who wish to portray public education as a failed experiment.

2007). These principles work in collaboration with each other for the patient, which endeavours to do the best in order to protect the patient from any harm (Dimond, 2008). However, Pozar (2006), Griffiths and Tenghah (2008) argue these two principles should outweigh respect for autonomy in life threatening situations, except when a competent patient is able to comprehend the life-threatening risk without the influence of others, then legally and morally professionals must respect the patient’s right to autonomy. Yet with regards to justice there is an obligation to treat people fairly and not to judge or discriminate against them in anyway (Dimond 2008). Whereas by definition, paternalism restricts a person’s right to autonomy, and takes another person’s autonomous right away and makes decision on their behalf, even if it is contrary to the wishes of the patient (Beauchamp and Childress 2001).
Being a travel nurse, I do not feel comfortable adhering to this standard. In one instance, I did not allow the sedation until a physician was present. Looking back, I would not have done anything differently because the most important concept is patient safety. Giving sedation prior to a call-to-order, or time-out, is not focused on patient safety. One article detailed that when given an ethical dilemma it is important to “engage in a process of ethical analysis†(Chaloner, 2007, p.43).
Our leaders must learn to navigate the political landscape and become politically astute. Without competency in the political process our nurse leaders and executives will lose hard-earned power due to political mistakes. Our core nursing education will need to provide at least an introduction to the concepts involved in leadership and political savvy. Leaders must be able to balance authenticity with the ever changing performance expectations related to cost. Being an authentic leader means they must be true to themselves and their values and act accordingly.
The set guidelines of existential philosophers are often vague; consequently there is apparent perplexity around the values, beliefs and practices. Also there are also many forms of therapeutic practices within existential perspective hence it is more diverse than most. A way to appreciate existential therapies is to understand the focus is on client responsibility and freedom. Humanistic like existential psychotherapies includes several approaches; however the focus is on acceptance and growth towards client’s awareness. Humanists believe that human nature is mostly positive.
This could be regarded as the distribution of moral justice, choosing on which principle they are morally obliged to follow (Steinbock, 2007, p22). “When principles contingently conflict, no supreme principle is available in the four-principle approach to determine an overriding obligation. Therefore, discretionary judgment becomes an inescapable part of moral thinking in our approach” (Beauchamp, 2010, p44). The respect for autonomy obliges health care professionals to ensure patients understand all the information they require enabling them to make an informed choice. If patients have the understanding to make an informed choice then the professional must respect the autonomous choices they make (Childress, 1990).
