Nursing Ethics Assignment
Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is guide the student in crafting a 2-3 page scholarly paper that
examines professional nursing values and behaviors. The student will select one of the
professional issues from either documentary where an ethical decision must be considered.
Ethics in the practice of nursing plays a significant role in the decision making process. Many
ethical dilemmas occur in the delivery of health care, and this paper will give the student a
practice opportunity in resolving a health related problem that presents as an ethical dilemma.
The requirements of the paper will guide the student in improving his/her capacity to rely on
personal values, education, experience and moral responsibility to analyze one ethical situation,
anticipate consequences, and propose an appropriate action.
The student will watch the documentary Code Gray (1983) or The Waiting Room (2012). These
documentaries are available thru the Newman Library. For this paper the student will consider and explore the issue(s) and the complexities in making a decision that has ethical ramifications
using the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University Framework for Ethical
Decision Making (2017) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53fw6jOG7RI. Or
https://www.scu.edu/ethics/ethics-resources/ethical-decision-making/a-framework-for-ethicaldecision-making/

[750-1000 words]) and Reference page (Maximum total of 5-6 pages, including the title page,
abstract page, 2-3 pages of the body, and reference page).

paragraph.
• Explore an ethical dilemma from either documentary Code Gray (1983) or The Waiting Room
(2012). Describe one ethical dilemma.
• What individuals and groups have an important stake in the outcome? Discuss three options
that could be used for resolution of the dilemma?
• Evaluate the three options by asking the following questions:
o Which option will produce the most good and do the least harm? (The Utilitarian Approach)
o Which option best respects the rights of all who have a stake? (The Rights Approach)

o Which option best serves the community as a whole, not just some members? (The Common
Good Approach)
o Which option leads me to act as the sort of person I want to be? (The Virtue Approach).
• Considering all these approaches, which option best addresses the situation?
• List three ethical principles that are applicable in making a decision regarding the ethical
dilemma. Autonomy, justice, beneficence, and non-maleficence are examples of ethical
principles that may be considered in the decision. The Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at
Santa Clara University Framework for Ethical Decision Making (2017), American Nurses

Discussion: Examining Endocrine, Metabolic, and Hematologic Disorders
In the United States, 25.6 million adults age 20 years or older have diabetes (American Diabetes
Association, 2011). If not properly treated and managed, these millions of diabetic patients are at
risk for several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and
blindness. Proper treatment and management is the key for diabetic patients, and as the
advanced practice nurse providing care for these patients, it is your responsibility to facilitate this
process. Patient education is critical, as is working with patients to establish a regular pattern for daily activities such as eating and taking medications. When developing care plans for patients,
you must keep the projected outcomes of treatment in mind, as well as patient preferences and
other factors that might impact adherence to treatment and management plans. In this
Discussion, you draw from your Practicum Experience and consider factors that impact the
education and treatment of patients with diabetes.
For this Discussion, consider the following case study of patients presenting with endocrine,
metabolic, and hematological disorders.
Case Study 2
A 78-year-old female presents to the emergency room after a fall 3 days ago. She recently had a
right above-the-knee amputation and was leaning over to pick something up when she fell. She
did not want to come to the hospital, but she is having difficulty managing at home because of
the pain in her left leg where she fell. Her patient medical history reveals RAKA, peripheral
vascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and stage 3 chronic kidney disease. Current medications
include quinapril 20 milligrams PO daily, Lantus 30 units at bedtime, and Humalog to scale
before meals. There are no known drug allergies. The physical exam is negative and x-rays
reveal no acute injuries. Laboratory studies reveal a normal white blood cell count: Hgb of 8 and
HCT 24. The MCV is normal.
To prepare:
• Review Part 17 and 21 of the Buttaro et al. text in this week’s Resources.
• You will either select or be assigned to a patient case study for this Discussion.
• Review the patient case study and reflect on the information provided about the patient.
• Think about the personal, medical, and family history you need to obtain from the patient in the
case study. Reflect on what questions you might ask during an evaluation.
• Consider types of physical exams and diagnostics that might be appropriate for evaluation of
the patient in the study.
• Reflect on a possible diagnosis for the patient.
• Think about potential treatment options for the patient.
By Day 3
Post a an explanation of the primary diagnosis, as well as 3 differential diagnoses, for the patient
in the case study that you selected or were assigned. Describe the role the patient history and
physical exam played in the diagnosis. Then, suggest potential treatment options based on your
patient diagnosis, including medication, dosage and frequency
