Clinical Ethics - Final Study Guide
Janet Olsen is a nurse who is working with a 75 woman who lives alone. Mrs. Diller has just been prescribed medication for her hypertension. She must take it once a day, preferably in the morning. Mrs. Diller seems distracted in her appointment and is worried about getting home to feed her dog, Snowflake. Janet wants to make sure that Mrs. Diller takes her medication--her BP has been consistently high for months and she's worried about organ damage. According to Osborne, which sentence is the better example to confirm patient understanding of instructions: "Mrs. Diller, do you know how often to take the medication?" "Mrs. Diller, tell me a bit about how you will take this medication? How? When? How often?" Both seem fine. I don't think Osborne would mind either option. Neither is very good. Osborne would tell her to do it differently.
"Mrs. Diller, tell me a bit about how you will take this medication? How? When? How often?"

Katie is a psychologist who works with the Andersen family. She meets them for family counseling monthly, and with their son, Adrian, for individual appointments once a month to help with his social anxiety disorder and his depression. She was just informed by Betty, her admin, that the Andersen family has only three appointments left for the year on their insurance (individual or family). It's September; so there are three more months left in the year. Katie thinks that their son is doing well with his individual appointments, but the family also needs to work through some family issues (Mr. Andersen is a recovering prescription medication addict). She thinks the family needs additional appointments (three for the family and three additional for the son) to continue their progress and her training tells her that the family will suffer without these appointments, but their insurance will not budge. Mr. Andersen is already working extra hours to pay for Adrian's soccer fees and doesn't think he can get hours to pay out of pocket. Katie has to call the family to tell them the bad news--they must decide how they would like to use the three remaining appointments.

Christian Morales is a registered dietican at Smalltown Medical Center in TeenyTown, Missouri. He's been working as part of a team that goes out and does surveys with community members about their intake of sugary drinks. After each person does the survey, they get a gift card for Trader Joes. On Thursday, after a survey session at the TeenyTown YMCA, Christian notices that Seamus Barnes, a volunteer for the program who is also a MPH student, has pocketed five TJ gift cards. Christian confronts Seamus about this and Seamus shrugs and says, "No one keeps track of these things. And, anyway, this is bad neighborhood. Our boss will assume someone stole them out of the box when we weren't looking." Christian knows that Seamus needs these volunteer hours to finish his MPH degree, but he thinks it's not ethical to take those cards intended for community members. He decides he needs to find a way to tell Dr. Liu, their boss, about what is happening. According to P&D, when Christian makes the call to Dr. Liu, he will be doing: peer evaluation academic misconduct clinical reasoning whistleblowing
