I’ve encountered an ethical dilemma situation in my recent capstone clinical. My clinical preceptor and I caught in the concepts of the principles of autonomy‚ veracity‚ and nonmalifecence. This occurred when we provided nursing service to a 30-years-old male patient who was taken to the ED as a post-code patient.

Today‚ registered nurses monitor complex physiological data‚ operate sophisticated lifesaving equipment‚ coordinate the delivery of numerous patient services‚ and administer high costly healthcare programmes (Weld and Garmon Bibb 2009).

Cluster Sampling Cluster sampling‚ also called block sampling. In cluster sampling‚ the population that is being sampled is divided into groups called clusters. Instead of these subgroups being homogeneous based on selected criteria as in stratified sampling‚ a cluster is as heterogeneous as possible to matching the population. A random sample is then taken from within one or more selected clusters. For example‚ if an organization has 30 small projects currently under development‚ an auditor looking

Although denial of life saving measures such as blood transfusions may not be ideal for members of healthcare‚ it is an important ethical issue and belief for some. With that being said‚ it is important as a leader in healthcare to have a better understanding of this in order
