Current Ethical Issues Paper
The fictional organization that I chose from the Virtual Organization is “Patton-Fuller Community Hospital.” The reason that I chose this organization is because the healthcare industry has always fascinated me. I think that it is really awesome that there are people in this world that actually choose to save others’ lives.
Patton-Fuller Community Hospital is a decent place to get immediate medical treatment, and it is pretty small. Although it is not as large as a county hospital, it is still one that is precise when it comes to medical services and the medical attention that one may seek. This hospital treats the most important health concerns… anyone’s! They take pride in serving their community. Patton-Fuller in fact provides healthcare services that are definitely designed to meet the needs of people at every stage of their lives. The care of the patients is a very important job to this hospital. They also take pride in making the hospital experience as pleasant as possible. Patton-Fuller has been serving the community proudly since the year 1975. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital encourages its patients among others that are not patients there to know the facts about the flu and the necessary measures to prevent themselves from getting the flu. This hospital has plenty of information and resources for those that are trying to stop smoking. If you are a smoker and want or need help quitting, they have plenty of help that they can offer in the aid of helping one quit. This is such an amazing and awesome opportunity for those that need the help to quit. I know that I for one am a smoker and the more I try to do it on my own, I find that I fail. Not everyone can just quit by themselves. I feel that sometimes some people just may need that extra help in their lives to get past whatever addictions it is they are going through. Through Patton-Fuller Community

    Surgery has become commonplace in hospitals around the world. Even the smallest of hospitals have at least one operating room. Surgeons operate in theses operating room. They operate on all types of people. From other doctors to high school dropouts, the opportunity for surgery does not take into account the amount of education a patient has obtained. Before any surgery occurs consent must be obtained. Consent is usually in the form of a preprinted letter with a spot to handwrite the name of the procedure to be preformed. Once presented to the patient they are expected to sign on the dotted line which gives permission for the procedure to be completed. The ethical dilemma with this process is the consent is to be informed. Merck (2006) wrote "consent becomes informed when the person has the ability to understand and ultimately does understand the potential benefits and risks of his decision and the alternatives to the choice he is making. When a…

    Healthcare is a diverse field with many specialties, but a commonality in all aspects is provider’s ethics. Ethics means following the standards and guidelines set by institutions as it relates to job duties, professional behavior, and patients. The decisions made by healthcare professionals, be it physicians, nurses or medical staff, affect real people and may mean the difference between life and death. The health and welfare of patients, along with the very serious aspect of treatment facilitation, requires that ethical standards be followed every step of the way for the health care professional.…

    Throughout history law enforcement officers have been given the power and responsibility to use discretion while preforming their assigned duties. In early history, law enforcement officers were given a lot of discretion, where as now, they do not. Many laws have restricted officer discretion because of abuse. There are many different scenarios when and how an officer can use discretion and as well as how much discretion they are able to use, depending on the situation. Furthermore, in some cases for example, the use of traffic speed cameras or intersection cameras can issue tickets to unaware motorists where an actual police officer may be able to use discretion, common sense and reasoning before issuing a ticket. Discretionary decision-making is a part of officer’s duties each and every day that he or she has their uniform on. It is essential to allow officers the ability to make these kinds of decisions, but also restrict it as not to allow corruption or situations to get out of control. Officer discretion often comes under scrutiny because of unequal treatment by officers towards citizens.…

    PASSION: Why am I here? As a child I was always attracted to the smaller, weakened animal I found in my yard, i.e. dying birds, kittens, bugs, etc. The animals we owned were never neutered which resulted in a numerous amount of puppies and kittens. I was intrigued by the cycle of life. Originally I wanted to become a veterinarian. The financial strain on my family made it apparent that it would not be possible. As fate would have it, there was a two year waiting list for nursing school, but I was readily accepted into a two year respiratory program. At the end of the respiratory program, I stayed for one more year to specialize in NICU.…

    In the health care field there are many ethical issues that arise. But in healthcare, ethical issues are very common. Almost every decision has an ethical implication either for the primary provider, the patient, or the healthcare administrator. As stated by Larson (2013) issues such as balancing care quality and efficiency, improving access to care, building and supporting the healthcare workforce, addressing end of life situations, and dealing with limited medications and donor organs are most likely to be encountered by a healthcare administrator.…
