Ethical Decision Making with the Fisher's Eight-Step Decision-making Model Step 1: Develop and sustain a professional commitment to doing what is right. Establish a commitment to ethical decision-making and adherence to professional standards. Acknowledge cultural variations in defining what is considered ethically right, considering diverse perspectives on morality. Sarah and I must navigate their differing cultural backgrounds in determining what constitutes the right ethical course of action. Step 2: Acquire Sufficient Familiarity with APA's "Ethical Principles" Familiarize with ethical principles to anticipate and identify ethical situations. Recognize cultural nuances in ethical principles, understanding that interpretations may vary across diverse cultural backgrounds. Sarah and I, with distinct cultural backgrounds, need to navigate the interpretation of ethical principles in the context of their multicultural perspectives.
Ethical Decision Making with the Fisher's Eight-Step Decision-making Model Step 3: Gather Additional Facts Relevant to the Ethical Situation Collect additional information from guidelines, laws, and policies. Consider how cultural factors may influence the ethical situation and information gathering, recognizing diverse cultural perspectives on confidentiality and disclosure. Sarah and I must be attuned to potential cultural variations in Patel’s views on confidentiality and disclosure. Step 4: Understand the Perspectives of Different Stakeholders Consider the impact on all parties involved and consult with colleagues. Recognize diverse cultural perspectives among stakeholders, ensuring a culturally sensitive approach to understanding their views. Sarah and I must navigate cultural variations in understanding Patel’s perspectives, ensuring a holistic consideration of cultural factors. Step 5: Apply Steps 1-4 to Generate Ethical Alternatives Apply ethical theories and principles to generate alternatives. Consider how cultural factors may influence the generation of alternatives, recognizing diverse cultural approaches to ethical decision- making. Sarah and I need to integrate their multicultural perspectives to generate alternatives that align with ethical principles and respect cultural nuances.
Ethical Decision Making with the Fisher's Eight-Step Decision-making Model Step 6: Select and Implement an Ethical Course of Action Choose an ethical response. Recognize that cultural variations may impact the chosen course of action, ensuring a culturally competent and sensitive approach. We must collaborate to select an ethical course of action that respects cultural differences and aligns with ethical principles. Step 7: Monitor and Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Course of Action Assess the effectiveness of the chosen action. Consider how cultural factors may influence the effectiveness of the chosen action, recognizing diverse cultural responses to interventions. We need to monitor the impact of their chosen course of action, being mindful of cultural variations in Patel’s response and well- being. Step 8: Modify and Continue to Evaluate the Ethical Plan Adjust the ethical plan if necessary. Recognize that cultural variations may necessitate modifications to the ethical plan, ensuring ongoing cultural competence (Fisher, Fried & Masty, 2007). Sarah and I must be open to modifying their ethical plan based on ongoing cultural considerations and evolving ethical dynamics.
