In the health care field there will always be ethical dilemmas to contend with and the majority of these are the most difficult to imagine. In this case, a 96 year old male cancer patient is receiving naturopathic treatment from his daughter who happens to be a physician in that field. This has caused conflict between the daughter and the regular physicians due to the fact that they feel she may be causing her father unnecessary pain as well as speeding up his death. The scope of healthcare ethics encompasses the decision making process and how it relates to what is right and what is wrong. Therefore it is important…
In the CSUSM College of Education, Health and Human Services School of Nursing handbook, the School of Nursing Philosophy breaks down into four categories: Person, Environment, Health, and Nursing. The category Philosophy of Person states that our focus is on the receiver of care whether it is an individual or aggregate, such as a family or a community (p. 5). The category of Philosophy of Environment says that a person or aggregate is unique and complete with distinct characteristics that are influenced by their environment, circumstances, and health decisions (p. 5). The category Philosophy of Health says that they are entitled to make their own health decisions or, in the case of debilitation, have an executor make those decisions for them…

At any time this confidentiality is broken or the private matters are disclosed it is called a breach of confidentiality. Patients have the right for privacy related to their health care matters and it has to confidential among the health care team. Breaching confidentiality is morally, ethically and legally wrong.

When Is It Ok to Break Confidentiality?" (Nathanson, 2000).In this article the writer explains about an ethical dilemma arose for the nurse Carol Hathaway. Two teenagers were not ready to get started their treatment and nurse Hathaway promise to them that the matter will be confidential and confidentiality will not be breached for whatever the reasons may be. Andrea, who is 14 years old, has a positive diagnosis for a human papillomavirus-(HPV) and a cervical cancer. By having the knowledge that the cervical cancers can be treated and the survival results are high, nurse Hathaway is in a dilemma about informing the teenagers’ parents of her diagnosis. The nurse is struggling with the situation and talks to an ER physician who told her that the matter has to be brought to Andrea’s parents and also to the school authorities because the girl admits taking part of sex parties and having multiple sex partners and the school should be warned of the risk.…
that each health proffessional acknowledges the fact that there is proffessional experience and valid knowledge is being brought thus forming new prevention strategies to tackle health issues such as obesity and diabetes.

The study of Bioethics involves the consideration of ethical issues arising from advancements in medicine and/or biology. The study of bioethics helps with determining the proper decision in regard to medical or biological issues. Bioethics is highly influential in academia, where scholars investigate the various scenarios arising from advancements, but is also influential in the applied realms of biology and medicine. Albert Jonsen, in his book Bioethics, claims "This field has established itself as an integral part of practical or applied philosophy and as a valuable adjunct to health policy and medical practice" (Jonsen 4). When dealing with the human body, ethics must be considered in order to preserve the value of human life. A highly…
