Write a 750-1000 word analysis of “Case Study: Fetal Abnormality.” Be sure to address the following questions:

1. Which theory or theories are being used by Jessica, Marco, Maria, and Dr. Wilson to determine the moral status of the fetus? Explain.
2. How does the theory determine or influence each of their recommendation for action?

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

Ethical and spiritual decision making in healthcare

Introduction

The healthcare industry has long been recognized as a place where people get sick and die. The field has historically been dominated by science and medicine. However, in recent years, there’s been an increased interest in incorporating ethical and spiritual considerations into healthcare decision making. In this article we’ll explore the key ideas behind ethical and spiritual decision making, discuss how these issues can be applied in clinical practice and what role spirituality plays within our health system today

What is ethical and spiritual decision making?

Ethical and spiritual decision making is a process of listening to patients, families, and communities. It’s about respecting people’s values and beliefs in order to make decisions that are in their best interest.

Ethical decision-making can be applied at any stage of the health care system: from the doctor’s office or clinic; through hospitalization; all the way up to long-term care facilities.

Ethics and spirituality in healthcare.

Ethical and spiritual decision making in healthcare is a process by which you make decisions that are consistent with your values. Sometimes this can be difficult, but it’s important to remember that ethical and spiritual decisions are for the benefit of the patient.

It is also important to remember that ethical and spiritual decisions are not always black and white. In fact, many times they involve shades of gray. The following are some examples of how you can incorporate ethical and spiritual decision making into your daily practice:

Ethical and spiritual decision-making in the healthcare context.

• Ethical decision-making is based on values, beliefs and principles that are consistent with the individual’s own.

• Spiritual decision-making is based on values, beliefs and principles that are consistent with a particular religious or spiritual tradition.

For example, a person may believe it is wrong to eat meat, but not be religious. The person still may make decisions based on this belief even if they do not consider themselves part of any particular religion.

Identifying ethical and spiritual issues in healthcare.

Ethical and spiritual issues are the focus of many healthcare organizations. Ethical issues include patient safety, clinical research, and quality of care; while spiritual topics include spirituality in the workplace, spirituality in relationships at work, and spirituality around death.

When it comes to ethical decision making in healthcare settings (such as hospitals), there is often little consideration given to how these decisions might impact patients or their families. As a result, there can be tension between staff members who want to adhere strictly to ethical guidelines for patient care while others who believe that sometimes bending those rules may be necessary for compassionate reasons.* There are also questions about whether decisions made during such situations should be shared with patients’ families or kept confidential—and whether they should even be kept confidential at all if they’re not deemed important enough by management.*

Learning how to make ethical and spiritual decisions in healthcare.

The importance of making ethical and spiritual decisions in the healthcare context is a topic that can be taught as part of a course on ethics. Students will learn about the different types of ethics, as well as how to apply them in practice. They will also learn about the role that spirituality plays in decision making and what it means for practitioners to be aware of their own biases when considering an ethical issue.

Students who are interested in learning more about this topic should consider taking one or more classes at their local community college or university’s education department (e.g., nursing, medicine).

Practicing ethical and spiritual decision making in healthcare.

Practice makes perfect. You can’t learn without practicing, and you need to practice in order to grow as a person and a professional.

You’ll have to make mistakes along the way, but they’re part of what makes you better at your job! If you don’t make any mistakes in your first couple years at work, then there’s something wrong with your approach and if this is how things go for people who aren’t new employees or new graduates from medical school, then maybe it won’t be as easy for them either.

It’s also important not just ask for help when needed but also offer it when possible; if someone asks how something works out in practice (or even just whether something works), give them honest feedback without being defensive about how much time goes into doing so correctly each day/week/year etcetera…

It takes commitment, community, and practice to make good decisions with others in mind.

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are many ways that you can get support and guidance when making ethical and spiritual decisions in healthcare. One way is by joining a community of people who share similar values, such as the Ethical Practice Network (EPN). EPN has an online forum where members can meet up with other healthcare professionals to talk about ethical issues, learn from each other’s experiences and advice, or just hang out and have fun together!

• Ask questions when making decisions about patients’ care. Asking questions helps ensure that everyone involved understands what’s involved with their decision-making process so they can make informed choices based on those facts rather than assumptions or biases based on personal biases/preferences towards one type over another type.”

Conclusion

In order to make ethical and spiritual decisions in healthcare, you need to be aware of your own values and beliefs, as well as those of others. This applies whether you’re making decisions on your own or with others. The process can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be a big deal! If you follow these steps consistently over time, what once seemed like a daunting task will become second nature.
