Analysis Of The US Patman's Code Of Ethics

The U.S chaplain's code of Ethics teaches us that first and foremost we are individuals that have or may have believed in or practiced differently from others. Understanding this we are not expected to do anything to compromise our own way of worship and not to minister to others in which we believe unless we are asked to do so by that individual, this is what is known as members of my own religious body. Chaplin's code of ethics instills in us that we are faced with dealing with chaplains of other religious backgrounds from our own, yet we are still in one accord to provide pastoral care enlightenment assessing spiritual guidance care and counsel to all in need regardless of religion race or creed. Public prayer as a chaplain must
not offend any other religion nor be directed to one specific religion. It is very important to be open minded when praying to the public. Keep in mind some of the people to whom you may be praying to may not even believe in god or may call him someone else. We pray to bring an understanding of love and peace looking towards harmony. When one is in the hospital they are being treated for a sickness that they can overcome by doctors, nurses, and medicine so that they may return to their daily lives.
Being hospice is giving care to one whether in a hospital or in a home.To a person that is terminally ill the main objective is to make the person as content in their last days before dying.
Compassion fatigue is very important situation that you as a chaplain have to be aware of, please do keep in mind that our willingness/distress/chaos/ and despair., after a time takes from our very own nourishment mentally and physically so it is recommended to us to involve all team members and agency to balance out the challenges that we face to avoid emotional and spiritual exhaustion. One other way we can avoid compassion fatigue is by doing things.
