Hi! It’s a 3 page paper -reference page included. Prepare a paper, based on an ethical scenario provided by the faculty. Relate a course of action to the scenario that is based on ethical principles. All ethical principles learned in class that apply to the scenario should be included. APA 7 style and you could choose one of the many scenarios provided. Just one! I’ll also attach the prompts and guides to help write the paper.
Scenario 1:
Mrs. Duncan is a 75-year-old woman with a diagnosis of Stage IV breast cancer with metastasis to the
lungs. Although Mrs. Duncan spoke with the nurse and conveyed her wishes for no life-saving measures,
she does not have an Advanced Directive in place. Mrs. Duncan has experienced a significant decline in
cognitive function and is presently unable to make decisions for her care. Her children cannot agree on
what treatment or life-saving measures are appropriate.
Scenario 2:
Mr. Jameson is in end-stage renal failure. Despite efforts to help manage the disease, including dialysis
three times weekly, his condition has worsened. Mr. Jameson’s physician has noted the decline in his
status and has informed the family that Mr. Jameson may have only a few weeks to live. Mr. Jameson’s
children and family are skeptical about telling Mr. Morris how bad his condition is, and the physician has
made no effort to talk to the patient about it. After his family left the hospital for the evening, Mr.
Jameson called for the nurse and asked her to tell him what the doctor said, stating he felt like he was
not getting the whole story.
Scenario 3:
A 7-year old male patient K. Gomez, was involved in a motor vehicle accident, resulting in a traumatic
brain injury. Diagnostic test revealed that the K. Gomez was brain dead. A second battery of test was
performed days later, which also concluded the lack of brain stem activity. The parents were informed
that there was nothing more medically that could be done for K. Gomez and that advanced life support
would be withdrawn. The parents adamantly opposed the medical decision as they believed that their
son was still alive.
Scenario 4:
During a first trimester ultrasound and checkup, the provider noted chromosomal abnormalities. They
were informed that a second trimester follow-up blood work would be necessary to confirm any
chromosomal abnormalities. Test revealed the fetus had Trisomy 18. Parents were informed that 90% of
infants do not survive their first year of life. The newborn was delivered at 39 weeks. Trisomy 18 was
again confirmed once the newborn was born. As expected with a child diagnosed with Trisomy 18, the
newborn had diagnosed cardiac anomalies in addition to skeletal deformities and an omphalocele. The
parents are requesting cardiac surgery to improve the newborn quality of life. However, the medical
team decided against the cardiac surgery as the newborn has other medical condition impacting quality
of life for the newborn
