How does the philosophy of ethical decision making have an effect on our everyday lives? As a student, what can you do to ensure you maintain academic honesty throughout your graduate academic career? Ethical decision making has a profound effect on almost everyone’s daily life. For me, as a nurse, I have to make ethical decisions every day. It could something as simple as not acknowledging that a patient is one of ours to another patient or something more complicated like how to tell a patient what could happen if they don’t go to the ER for chest pain, for some people telling them is just to be safe is not enough and I have to say if you don’t go you can die if you are having a heart attack. Other examples of ethical decisions can include telling someone a truth that they don’t want to hear, doing something wrong that they know they should not be doing, or treating a person a certain way because of skin color, gender, or color. One way that I can maintain academic honesty is to follow the steps in ethical decision-making. Many ethical challenges are unique in time, place, and persons involved and the very process of generating and evaluating alternative courses of action helps place in vivid relief the moral principles underlying such conflicts and stimulates creative strategies that may resolve or eliminate them (Fisher, 2022). There are 6 steps. Step 1- Identification of the ethical problem, step 2- ethical principles, standards, and guidelines, step 3- laws, regulations, and policies, step 4-stakeholder perspectives, step 5-considering alternatives and developing and implementing a plan, and step 6-monitoring and evaluating (Fisher, 2022).
