Ethical dilemmas arise one being the Lacks family had no idea that a sample of her tumour had been taken and sent to George Gey. In chapter three, Henrietta goes for her diagnosis and treatment and signs an operation permit form. I agree Dr. TeLinde’s research was important but not justifiable because he did not properly let his patient be conscious that her cells would be used. One questions whether or not appropriate consent was given because there was not any proper consent. I believe at least letting Henrietta know what they were doing would be the ethical thing to do.
She was concerned about the accuracy of the work due to the way these readings compared to previous readings. Instead of discussing this with Brigite, she decided to do it all herself and retest everyone. The nurse in this scenario becomes part of the problem; obviously she does not trust Brigite’s ability to do the job right. Passiveness, nonassertive, and avoidance is the form of communication the nurse is using in this scenario. The nurse is avoiding asking Brigite about the readings of the vision tests (Hansten, & Jackson, 2009).
Whilst it is Hannah’s right to make decisions for herself and choose to take the medication or not, in this case from the information given it could be detrimental to her health and therefore I would explain to Hannah that the information given to me in confidence; through Hannah not taking her prescribed medication she may be at risk of harm and therefore I would need to pass the information on to my Manager to ensure her wellbeing is being addressed. It is Hannah’s choice who she shares information with and I would give her my assurance that the information would not be shared with her daughter unless she consented to it. Bii Identify the range of people who may need to know about Hannah’s situation, and describe any tensions that may occur if the information is shared. The range of people that would need share the information would be those directly with her care, healthcare professionals including her GP who can work with Hannah to help her understand the benefits of taking her medication. If the information was shared with the daughter this could cause upset and potential breakdown of the relationship.
Social services should have removed Andy from her care because she could not care for him. I did not think they should have put him in the Los Angeles County because no child should be in a place like that. According to the textbook, Tower-Crosson, (2010). “Protective workers involved in the assessment process learn to ask specific question designed to assess the potential risk of the home situation to the child and the capacity of the parents to cope with child rearing. The interviewing process is an integral
The lack in education and experice results in lower levels of trust in medical care. They are skeptical about receiving care from physicians, nurses and the entire medical care regimen as a whole. Women who are skeptical about the care will reject prenatal testing. For example referring back to the story about tracy, she rejected getting an ultrasound because she believed that the radioactive rays would affect her fetus. If she was educated about the importance of prenatal testing Nahla might have been normal today.
Therefore Holly broke these principles as the infant’s birth weight and sex was collected and they were intended to be used in another study. This also broke the principle of personal data being passed on to third parties, if Holly did pass on the data to a third party without consent from the participant this would also not be good practice. The data collected should be obtained with participant’s full consent, as Holly didn’t gain consent this principle was broken. These issues could be addressed by ensuring that only the data needed for a study is collected and that researchers ensure they are familiar with the data protection act and abide by these
This is definitely unethical. When more than a minor medical issue arises, the ethical thing for the physician assistant to do is take the patient to a practical setting and take the normal course of actions (2013). Joe is breaking this by taking kits out of the practice area into his own home without consent of the physician or the facility as a whole. The guidelines go over the importance of not providing informal care, which is exactly what Joe is doing in this situation. He is not only informally treating and collecting specimen from his daughter, but he is also not documenting any of the treatments that he is doing.
When people have an open mind, they are open to new experiences and new ways of looking at things. Thus, people who are open minded are willing to change their views when presented with new facts and evidence. In this case, Sylvia, the main character in Toni Cade Bambara's "The Lesson," learns a lesson about social classes and the implications of wealth and in the process loses some of the innocence that characterizes childhood. Sylvia resists this lesson, therefore the changes that take place in her are subtle, yet they are extensive. Ms. Moore tells the children to go into the store, but she does not lead the way.
Karnik could have avoided the unethical behavior by first contacting the other researchers and asking for permission to use their work and cite them properly. She could have also held her own research to ensure that the results she came up with were original. The way the unethical behavior was addressed and resolved was entirely appropriate. Although Dr. Karnik voluntarily submitted to the agreements that lasted only two years, her research misconduct still follows her around, blemishing her career achievements and withholding her heights should could have reached, had not inserted information to benefit her own research. Conclusion Whether research is performed in schools or businesses, researchers must abide by the ethical structures that are set in place for them.
A minor disagreement can escalate quickly and, without resolution; could cause a divide in the team’s efforts to collaborate on medical necessities. Having a mentor who is trained in conflict resolution would identify the signs of conflict immediately to address the issue before personal feelings become involved. For example, a nurse reports to the Director of Nursing for an assignment, and is given the order to report to pediatrics. However, this nurse has no familiarity in this department, so she quickly becomes emotional. A mentor observing these happenings could provide solace to her, and ensure that the Director of Nursing was only unaware of her skill set and would gladly provide another assignment if informed.
