Overview
.
Rubric
This Assessment requires submission of one (1) document for all five parts.
Save your file as LE001_firstinitial_lastname (for example, LE001_J_Smith).
Healthcare consists of individuals with health problems and the professionals
who care for them. These combinations require at least two levels of
expertise. One area concerns the medical treatments that may lead to positive
outcomes. The other level of expertise concerns the decision-making process
and communication with patients and families. This competency consists of
five separate sections that work together to illustrate the judgements involved
in patient care, which often includes ethical issues concerning patients,
families, and quality care.
This assessment has six parts. Click each of the items below for more
information on this Assessment.
Part One: Principles of Autonomy and Nonmaleficence
•
•
•
An 83-year-old diabetic male, Mr. Jones, is brought into the emergency
department because of respiratory distress by his care-giving daughter,
with whom he lives. In examining him, the emergency department
physician discovers that Mr. Jones has gangrene on his right foot up to his
ankle. Mr. Jones’ daughter reports that her father has been diagnosed with
Alzheimer’s disease. A preliminary capacity assessment is consistent with
mild dementia but one of the nurses suggests that Mr. Jones’ confusion
might be the result of his respiratory distress, coupled with the disorienting
atmosphere of the emergency department. The clinical recommendation is
to perform a below-the-knee amputation. The patient refuses this surgery,
saying he has lived long enough and wants to die with his body intact.
Does the father have autonomy to make this decision? Why or why not?
Discuss the principle of nonmaleficence as it relates to actions of the
providers. (1–2 pages)
Part Two: Clinical Ethics
•
Clinical ethics requires grasping ethical issues, such as informed consent,
truth-telling, confidentiality, end-of-life care, treatment futility, pain relief,
and patients’ rights to self-determination. For each hypothetical situation
described below, identify the conflicting ethical principles involved, and
select at least one appropriate action to resolve conflicting ethical
principles in each case. (2–3 paragraphs for each topic)
▪ An elderly patient suffers cardiac arrest and enters the intensive
care unit. Her son insists that “everything possible” be done for her,
and yet, she slips into a coma and is nonresponsive for months. As
a healthcare administrator who oversees the organization, what
steps would you recommend to address the son’s concerns?
▪ You are a healthcare administrator reviewing statistics on lab tests
ordered and realize that a few physicians account for the majority of
orders of a certain very expensive lab test. You do a bit of research
and realize that these physicians have relationships with the
manufacturers of this testing equipment. What are your next
steps? Please write a brief policy statement about conflicts of
interest in the organization.
Part Three: Risk Assessment Framework
•
A hospital finds that hypodermic needle-stick injuries have increased over
the last year and, when they conduct an audit, they find evidence that
there is wide variation in practice from unit to unit. Some rooms have
sharps boxes and others do not, the sharps boxes are of different sizes,
and there is variation in how often they are emptied.
▪ Using the seven-step risk assessment framework described by the
Joint Commission (available at 7 Steps to Comply with Joint
Commission) outline each of the steps to illustrate how a hospital
might use a risk assessment framework to manage the risk of
needle-stick injuries. (2 pages)
• Note: Registration is required to access the link referenced
above.
▪ Once the seven steps have been outlined, write an email to the
Director of Nursing about your concerns and recommendations.
Part Four: Impact of Regulatory Guidelines on the Delivery of Care
•
You are a nursing supervisor in a small rural healthcare facility. Explain
how each of the following scenarios will challenge your ability to deliver
quality care and manage risks; discuss specific regulatory guidelines that
may apply and explain your approach to mitigating each. Write out the
following information as a report you will present to the administrative
leadership about the negative implications of these issues.
▪
▪
A shortage of three certified nursing assistants (CNAs) due to
influenza and one registered nurse (RN) scheduled leave for a
family wedding (2–3 paragraphs)
Changing reimbursement rules have a negative impact on revenue
that will potentially eliminate the budget for planned renovation to the
patient rooms equipped with a winch to lift patients over 200 lbs. (2–
3 paragraphs)
Part Five: Is healthcare a right or a privilege?
•
Provide your opinion about whether healthcare in the U.S. should be is a
right or a privilege. Apply ethical standards and state and federal laws to
support your position. Write your position as though you are sharing it
through a blog post or letter to the editor of a local paper. (1–2 pages)
Part Six: Behavioral Ethics
▪
Visit the ACHE Ethics Pre-Assessment website
(http://www.ache.org/newclub/career/ethself.cfm) and take the ethics
pre-assessment to help you identify areas where your ethics are strong
and where they might need further reflection. After reviewing your
responses to the pre-assessment
▪ Describe your results from the ACHE Ethics Pre-Assessment
including the areas where your ethics are strong and where there
might be red flags.
▪ Explain what you might do to change any red flags that might exist.
Finally, describe what resources you think would help you promote
integrity and ethics as a leader of healthcare organizations.
