For this week you will take the role of a human services professional working at a nursing home. Here is the ethical dilemma you face: THE PAGE OF THE BOOK ATTACHED

I like my patients, and take good care of them. So many are unable to take care of themselves and rely on the staff to take care of their day-to-day and moment-to-moment needs. Some don’t even know what to ask for. I take my job seriously and try to provide the best care I can in a compassionate manner.

I have a good friend, Gail, who desperately needed a job. She is a single parent with three young children. I recommended her for a job in this nursing home where I work. She was hired. To my surprise, I find that she does not take the job as seriously as I do. She cuts corners and does not feel responsible for the well being of her patients. When I tried to talk to her about it, she thought I was being too picky. So far, she has not been caught, and no one has been hurt.

Use the Ethical Decision Making process described on pages 96-98 of your text and list your responses here at this assignment for Steps 1 – 5 of the 6 steps. (You will not be able to complete Step 6 Evaluation).

For Step 3 Consult with Colleagues–go to the Discussion Board for this Assignment and check in with your fellow students for their opinions on how to handle this problem. Your classmates will be taking the role of colleagues working at the nursing home. Post your Discussion question with what you plan to do in this situation and ask for feedback from your classmates. Be sure to respond to at least 1 classmate.
