Moral and Ethical Development By: Tenisha Snipes American Intercontinental University Course Number: HLTH320-2305B-01 Instructor: Jennine Kinsey Due Date: 12/05/2023
Moral and Ethical Development Morals and ethics are two topics that are important in healthcare and caring for others’ wellbeing. Healthcare professionals develop and adhere to moral and ethical principles in the offices practice. It involves the cultivation of values, attitudes, and behaviors that promote ethical decision-making and actions in healthcare settings. Healthcare professionals should have a solid understanding of ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. This knowledge helps guide their decision-making and actions. Ethics in healthcare are the standards or principles of moral judgment or actions which provide a methodical system in differentiating right from wrong based on certain beliefs. And because nurses spend a lot of time with patients and patient families, the practices of nurses in relation to their clients become paramount (Kieft et al., 2014). My topic of discussion today will focus on an outline that will help change the negative environment of our healthcare organization. In a healthcare setting, you have many personalities all working together at one time to accomplish a goal. Having positive energy always brings happiness and good energy into an atmosphere. I am the CEO of the healthcare staff at St, Michael’s Medical Center. My job in the risk management department will be to help my staff develop better work behavior.
Day 1 Principles in Healthcare Autonomy: Respecting the rights of individuals to make their own decisions about their healthcare. This principle emphasizes the importance of informed consent and patient autonomy. Beneficence: Acting in the best interest of the patient and promoting their well- being. Healthcare professionals should strive to provide the greatest benefit to their patients and prevent harm. Non-maleficence: Avoiding harm and minimizing risks to patients. Healthcare professionals should prioritize patient safety and take necessary precautions to prevent harm. Justice: Fairness and equality in the distribution of healthcare resources. This principle emphasizes the need to treat all patients fairly and without discrimination, ensuring equal access to healthcare services. Veracity: Honesty and truthfulness in communication with patients. Healthcare professionals should provide accurate and transparent information to patients, enabling them to make informed decisions. Confidentiality: Respecting the privacy and confidentiality of patient information. Healthcare professionals should maintain the confidentiality of patient records and only disclose information with the patient's consent or when required by law. These principles serve as a framework for ethical decision-making in healthcare and help guide healthcare professionals in resolving dilemmas and making ethical choices.
