. 3) Ethics: Read the ASHA Code of Ethics. Found on the ASHA website: http://www.asha.org/Code-of-Ethics/ Please review the following scenarios (below) and reflect on the ethical issues and violations that are relevant, as per the code of ethics. Make sure to indicate the code and principle # violated. ETHICAL SCENARIOS: SLP: 1) Stephanie, a speech-language pathologist (SLP), writes an evaluation report on a client who was tested by a SLP who unexpectedly resigned and left without writing a report or filing the results of testing.
3 2) Star Therapeutic Corporation contracts all types of therapy services to nursing homes in the rural area. SLPs are required to see a certain number of clients daily. Because of the distance between sites, sometimes only one remote site can be served. To meet her quota, Carol is told to provide services to clients who are seriously ill or in very poor health. Carol does not consider these individuals to be good candidates for treatment. 3) A child with a voice problem was evaluated by a SLP who perceived the child’s voice to be hoarse. She referred him for an ENT evaluation in order to get the insurance company to approve treatment. The ENT will not approve treatment until the vocal nodules are removed surgically. The SLP then re-adjusts the recommendation for voice therapy. AUDIOLOGY: 4) Dave, an audiologist, provides services in a nursing home. The residents cannot be tested in a sound-treated booth due to either physical or monetary (e.g. cannot afford the cost of transportation) limitations. Some residents are fitted with hearing aids based on the hearing test results obtained in the nursing home. 5) Bob, an audiologist, is frustrated with losing clients, who are potential hearing aid users, when he refers them to an Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) doctor for wax removal before Bob can make earmold impressions. Bob decides to begin wax removal himself even though he does not have specific training. 6) A client is being treated for aural rehab services by an audiologist. The client’s insurance plan will cover only four visits. At the end of the four visits, the client has shown progress in speech-
reading skills, coping strategy development, and in adjustment of amplification; however, the client has not achieved his maximum function. 4) Language Difference vs. Disorder Watch the American Tongues DVD on reserve in the library or online at this link: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4jrdic Answer the following Reflection Questions: 1.
