Assessment 03 \u2013 Applying Ethical Principles
\nFor this assessment, you will develop a solution to a specific ethical dilemma faced by a health
\ncare professional. Before you complete the instructions detailed in the courseroom, first select
\none of the ethical dilemmas below to be the focus of your assessment.
\nAfter you have selected one of the ethical dilemmas from below, return to the detailed
\ninstructions in the courseroom to complete your assessment.
\nCase Study: Conscientious Objection and Professional
\nResponsibility
\nNurse Amelia Brooks, a dedicated and experienced nurse at Riverside Medical Center, has
\nalways been known for her commitment to patient care. However, she finds herself in a moral
\nquandary when Dr. Rebecca Martin, the leading obstetrician at the center, asks her to assist in
\nan elective abortion procedure for a patient named Sophie Turner, a 24-year-old graduate
\nstudent.
\nAmelia holds strong personal beliefs against abortion due to her religious upbringing. She feels
\nthat participating in the procedure would violate her conscience and deeply held moral
\nconvictions. However, she also recognizes her professional responsibility to provide care
\nwithout discrimination and to prioritize the well-being and autonomy of her patients.
\nThe principle of autonomy emphasizes the importance of individual choice and freedom. In this
\ncontext, it applies both to Sophie’s right to make decisions about her own body and to Amelia’s
\nright to act in line with her personal beliefs. The principle of professional responsibility, on the
\nother hand, underscores Amelia’s duty to provide care and uphold the standards of her
\nprofession. Balancing these principles is the concept of non-maleficence, which emphasizes the
\ncommitment to “do no harm.” Amelia grapples with what “harm” means in this context: harm to
\nthe patient by potentially denying care or harm to herself by violating her conscience.
\nCase Study: Genetic Testing and Patient Autonomy
\nDr. Leonard Harper, a seasoned geneticist at Hillside Medical Center, has always been an
\nadvocate for patient autonomy. One day, he is approached by Mrs. Clara Bennett, a 38-year-old
\nliterature professor, who is expecting her first child. Clara, having heard about the
\nadvancements in prenatal genetic testing, wishes to undergo the procedure to determine if her
\nunborn child has any genetic disorders. She’s particularly concerned due to her age and a
\nfamily history of genetic anomalies.
\n2
\nAfter conducting the necessary tests, the results reveal a high likelihood that the child will have
\nDown syndrome. Dr. Harper schedules a private consultation with Clara to discuss the findings.
\nDuring the meeting, Clara, visibly distressed, makes an unexpected request. She asks Dr.
\nHarper to withhold the results from her husband, Lt. Jack Bennett, a naval officer currently
\nstationed overseas. Clara fears how Jack, who is eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child,
\nmight react to the news. She’s concerned that it might add undue stress to his already
\ndemanding and dangerous job.
\nDr. Harper finds himself in a profound ethical dilemma. On one hand, he respects Clara’s
\nautonomy and her right to decide when and how the information is shared. On the other hand,
\nhe believes in the importance of open communication, especially in matters that affect family
\ndynamics and decision-making. He worries about the strain this secret might place on the
\nBennetts’ marriage and the potential implications for future medical decisions regarding the child.<\/p>\n
