Professional Ethics: What Would You Do?

Today’s health care environment gives nurses many reasons to
be conflicted. Genetic testing, abortion, and end of life care are just some of
the areas in which nurses may face ethical dilemmas. Consider how you feel
about the following issues:

Respecting the wishes of a suffering client that he is
permitted to die with dignity,

Respecting the health surrogate’s wishes regarding
termination of life support,

Or even observing another nurse take two tablets of
oxycodone as ordered but keeping one for herself.

Then give an example of an ethical dilemma you may have
confronted in your own clinical experience or workplace. How did you come to
the decision you made? What feelings did you experience while coming to that
choice? (If you have not yet faced an ethical dilemma, research one and comment
on it, answering the same questions.)
