Murphy, B. C., & Dillion, C. (2012). Interviewing in Action in a Multicultural World, 4th edition. Cengage Learning .

Any help I can get right now I will truly appreciate. It has been so difficult for me to concentrate and find the time to get this done, given I just had a loss of a family member. Thank you in advance....truly.
The Case Study is rather long, and I will now paste below.

Two men are seeking services for couples coaching after being released from prison. Reggie is
a 26-year-old African American with a stocky but athletic build, and Todd is a 30-year-old,
Caucasian with a slight frame and more effeminate features.
Reggie is wearing a very revealing ?muscle shirt? and shorts and is sweaty from the heat
outside. Todd is dressed in a pink cotton polo shirt with shorts and appears to have a ?preppie?
style. The men are invited into the office to be interviewed; each one selects his own couch to
sit. Todd takes the lead in speaking and during the interview, frequently talks over and
interrupts Reggie.

Todd reports that was released from prison three months ago, one month prior to Reggie, and
has been under a lot of pressure to find resources for himself and his partner so they could
reintegrate into society. This stress, along with other issues, has taken a toll on their relationship.

Todd reports that he is estranged from his family and only speaks to his mother from time-totime because she is very emotionally abusive towards him and ?drives him to drink.? Reggie
reports that his relationships with members of his family are ?very complicated.? He discloses
that his mother died while he was serving his prison sentence, and he hasn?t really come to
terms with it. Reggie has two sisters from whom he is estranged ? they refuse to speak to him and will not give him information about his mother?s last days. The two agree that they are left
supporting each other on the ?outside? and feel they are learning how to function again in
the ?real? world.

Todd states that he has served his time, whereas Reggie has a parole officer to whom he must
report regularly. Todd states that he is resentful of the ankle bracelet that Reggie has to wear
that monitors his every move and does not allow him to live freely.
When Reggie was released, he moved in with Todd in the apartment Todd had rented. Two
weeks ago, Reggie moved out of the apartment and into a room in a local halfway house.
Todd explains that after six weeks of constant arguing that frequently escalated into physical
violence, Todd threatened Reggie with a knife because he was so scared. Reggie left the
apartment before it got physical and the police were not called. Reggie did inform his parole
officer and the officer found Reggie the room in the boarding house so Reggie would not
violate his parole. Todd later helped Reggie set up the room and bought him some basics so
he could live comfortably.

Todd states that he wants Reggie to be able to come back home, but cannot tolerate the
physical abuse. Reggie states that he is extremely stressed by his own expectations and his
feelings that he is not making it outside of prison. He states that he feels like he has to depend
on his partner for everything, and at this point, has no other choice. He further explains that he
was raised to take care of himself and not have to rely on others.

The men agreed to continue to work on the relationship if referred to counseling. Todd states
that he is very anxious about the situation and wants Reggie to move back home as soon as
his parole officer will give approval. Reggie states that his main goal is to get things established
for himself like finding a job, meeting the expectations of his parole, and being independent.
Todd is very charming and confident during the interview process while Reggie is quiet and
keeps his hands clasped tightly together in his lap. Reggie states that one of his concerns is
Todd?s behavior in public and how it draws attention to them as a couple. The attention
makes Reggie extremely uncomfortable.

Todd interjects that he sees a psychiatrist for his mental health and substance abuse issues.
Todd also reports that his drug issue plays a significant role in the problems in their relationship.
He reports that his current drug use was triggered by the stress of being released from prison
first (and alone) and then later from having to endure the physical abuse by his partner. He
states that his drug of choice is cocaine, which has been a problem for him for many years,
sending him to prison and costing him his career as a realtor. Todd further reports that his
psychiatrist has placed him on Lithium and Trazodone for his Bipolar Disorder.

Reggie reports that he smokes marijuana occasionally and has been drinking alcohol regularly
since he was a teenager. He states that he does not think either of these is a problem for him
and does not see where it is a problem for him to use in front of Todd. Todd states he is
resentful that Reggie is not supportive of him in his daily battle to remain clean and sober and
that Reggie?s recreational drug use in front of him is extremely difficult to deal with.

Todd states that he is on Social Security Disability for his mental health disorder and substance
abuse because it cost him his job several years back and he has been unable to work since.
Todd says he also receives compensation and insurance from his previous employer. Reggie
states that he has enrolled in the ?STARS? program set up for people who have been recently
released from prison to help him find employment and re-enter the job market; however, he
says he is still struggling to find employment in this program. He reports that this is a source of
tension for him because he needs to be out there working and supporting himself. He again
mentions that he does not like not being able to support himself and having to rely on
someone else.

The two agree that they both have a lot to work on and are under a lot of stress being on the
?outside.?

The purpose of this assignment is to help students think through the importance of social, legal, and ethical issues that may arise with their product or service and the implications of decisions made within those frameworks. It is designed to help the learners understand ethical and legal issues related to marketing practices. This knowledge helps to prevent such issues when developing the marketing strategies in their marketing plan. The executive overview of the marketing plan is not a summary and conclusion, but an overview of what the plan entails and what it does not address.

Assignment Steps;

Producing and marketing a product without regard to ethical, legal, and social considerations is detrimental to the overall success of any company.
1) Assess in a maximum of 700 words the ethical, legal, and social issues affecting your product or service in two markets: the United States and one international market. Domestic market generally means the market where the company headquarters are located. If you choose a domestic market that is not the U.S., then your other market is required to be the U.S. marketplace. This should added to the Target Market section of your Marketing Plan.

Include the following:

1) Develop a process to monitor and control marketing performance.
2) Formulate a maximum 350-word executive summary including at a minimum the following elements:

Required executive summary elements:
Strategic Objectives
Products or Services
Optional executive summary elements:
Resources Needed
Projected Outcomes
Integrate the previous weeks' sections, and incorporate corrections and suggestions from the instructor's weekly feedback. The marketing plan should be a minimum of 3,850 words and include the following:

Incorporate Understanding Target Markets (Week 2)

Incorporate Promotion and the Product Life Cycle (Week 3)

Incorporate Price and Channel Strategy (Week 4)

Incorporate Marketing Communication and Brand Strategy (Week 5)

Incorporate Executive Summary, Legal, Social and Ethical Considerations

Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.

Include all peer-reviewed references from the previous weeks' individual assignments in your marketing plan.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.

DISCUSSION 1

Review the Final Paper prompt, which is located in Week Six.

In your initial post, briefly describe three policies or programs you are considering as the subject of the Final Paper, and explain the impact of any relevant political and ethical issues associated with the program evaluation. List the reasons you are considering each program. Explain political ramifications, both intended and inadvertent, of the programs or policies you have selected as possible topics for the Final Paper. In addition, examine any potential ethical issues or dilemmas that could be a byproduct of the evaluation you are proposing for the program or policy. In your analysis, take into account such issues as the scope of the programs under consideration, practical and logistical issues affecting the proposed evaluation, and any theoretical orientation you will use in your Final Paper.

A.Evaluation Proposal
The focus of the Final Paper will be on the creation of an evaluation proposal suitable for presentation in a criminal justice setting or agency. The proposal will center on needs assessment, impact monitoring, and the application of quantitative and/or qualitative techniques in the assessment of the selected program or policy. Rossi, Lipsey, and Freeman (2004) discuss the social context of evaluation. Your evaluation proposal should assess the effectiveness of a program or policy, addressing a specific problem proposed or developed as a solution to a contemporary issue in your chosen area of specialization within the Masters in Criminal Justice program: Law Enforcement and Corrections Administration, Cybercrime and Technology, Forensic Science, or Homeland Security. Utilize research skills to locate a minimum of 15 appropriate scholarly sources to support your statements within the required sections below. Small sections of the evaluation proposal will be completed throughout the progression of the course. Students can use those sections verbatim within the text of the Final Paper if they so choose. The evaluation proposal will be assessed based on the inclusion of the following elements:

DISCUSSION 2
In your initial post, briefly describe the components of a good evaluation question. Explain the impact of political and ethical issues associated with program evaluation. Explain the process involved in formulating and developing a quality evaluation question. Identify pertinent components that good evaluation questions should contain. In addition, identify an appropriate topic for the Final Paper, and formulate a preliminary research evaluation question relevant to that assignment.


DISCUSSION 3
Evaluation research is a unique, applicable form of scientific inquiry. While the conceptualizations of ordinary research methods form the foundation upon which evaluation research rests, there are some nuances found in evaluation that are unique. One such nuance centers on questions of whether a particular policy or program can be evaluated.

Critique the design of an evaluation by describing what evaluability means and why proper evaluability is so fundamental to the success of any specific project. For examples on strategies for how to determine evaluability, you should make use of the Lipsey, Petrie, Weisburd, and Gottfredson article and this week\'s required reading from the Rossi, Lipsey, and Freeman text. You may support your position with both scholarly and non-scholarly credible sources.

Respond to the statement below in a 600-750 word essay:

Construct an ethics-based argument that justifies behavior in war-related activity specifically the War Against Terror exceeding the current limits of behavior permitted in crime control activities.

*Guidelines*
- Be very sensitive to the issues involved in plagiarism! -All of the written work must clearly original.
-Keep in mind that transcription of material (copying), followed by parenthetical identification of the source with little or no original thought added does not constitute an adequate essay.
-You must show some evidence that at least a significant portion of the each essay is your own reaction to, thought about or evaluation of the subject of the essay, composed in your own words.
-Agreement, disagreement, examples, etc. are appropriate as long as evidence of some thoughtful and pertinent independent thought, reaction, or response to the term or question is included.
-No more than 40% of the response should be a verbatim cut-and-paste transcript from the reference source.

THESE ARE THE TWO OPTIONS (CODE OF ETHICS) THAT I WOULD LIKE YOU TO USE. YOU CAN CHOOSE ONLY ONE.

1.06 Conflicts of Interest
(a) Social workers should be alert to and avoid conflicts of interest that interfere
with the exercise of professional discretion and impartial judgment.
Social workers should inform clients when a real or potential conflict of
interest arises and take reasonable steps to resolve the issue in a manner
that makes the clients? interests primary and protects clients? interests to
the greatest extent possible. In some cases, protecting clients? interests
may require termination of the professional relationship with proper referral
of the client.
(b) Social workers should not take unfair advantage of any professional relationship
or exploit others to further their personal, religious, political, or
business interests.
(c) Social workers should not engage in dual or multiple relationships with
clients or former clients in which there is a risk of exploitation or potential
harm to the client. In instances when dual or multiple relationships are unavoidable,
social workers should take steps to protect clients and are responsible
for setting clear, appropriate, and culturally sensitive boundaries.
(Dual or multiple relationships occur when social workers relate to clients
in more than one relationship, whether professional, social, or business.
Dual or multiple relationships can occur simultaneously or consecutively.)
(d) When social workers provide services to two or more people who have
a relationship with each other (for example, couples, family members), social
workers should clarify with all parties which individuals will be considered
clients and the nature of social workers? professional obligations to the
various individuals who are receiving services. Social workers who anticipate
a conflict of interest among the individuals receiving services or who
anticipate having to perform in potentially conflicting roles (for example,
when a social worker is asked to testify in a child custody dispute or divorce
proceedings involving clients) should clarify their role with the parties involved
and take appropriate action to minimize any conflict of interest.

1.07 Privacy and Confidentiality
(a) Social workers should respect clients? right to privacy. Social workers
should not solicit private information from clients unless it is essential to
providing services or conducting social work evaluation or research. Once
private information is shared, standards of confidentiality apply.
(b) Social workers may disclose confidential information when appropriate
with valid consent from a client or a person legally authorized to consent
on behalf of a client.
(c) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of all information
obtained in the course of professional service, except for compelling
professional reasons. The general expectation that social workers will keep
information confidential does not apply when disclosure is necessary to
prevent serious, foreseeable, and imminent harm to a client or other identifiable
person. In all instances, social workers should disclose the least
amount of confidential information necessary to achieve the desired purpose;
only information that is directly relevant to the purpose for which
the disclosure is made should be revealed.
(d) Social workers should inform clients, to the extent possible, about the
disclosure of confidential information and the potential consequences,
when feasible before the disclosure is made. This applies whether social
workers disclose confidential information on the basis of a legal requirement
or client consent.
(e) Social workers should discuss with clients and other interested parties
the nature of confidentiality and limitations of clients? right to confidentiality.
Social workers should review with clients circumstances where
confidential information may be requested and where disclosure of confidential
information may be legally required. This discussion should occur
as soon as possible in the social worker?client relationship and as needed
throughout the course of the relationship.
(f ) When social workers provide counseling services to families, couples, or
groups, social workers should seek agreement among the parties involved
concerning each individual?s right to confidentiality and obligation to preserve
the confidentiality of information shared by others. Social workers
should inform participants in family, couples, or group counseling that social
workers cannot guarantee that all participants will honor such agreements.
(g) Social workers should inform clients involved in family, couples, marital,
or group counseling of the social worker?s, employer?s, and agency?s
policy concerning the social worker?s disclosure of confidential information
among the parties involved in the counseling.
(h) Social workers should not disclose confidential information to thirdparty
payers unless clients have authorized such disclosure.
(i) Social workers should not discuss confidential information in any setting
unless privacy can be ensured. Social workers should not discuss confidential
information in public or semipublic areas such as hallways,
waiting rooms, elevators, and restaurants.
( j) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients during legal
proceedings to the extent permitted by law. When a court of law or other
legally authorized body orders social workers to disclose confidential or
privileged information without a client?s consent and such disclosure could
cause harm to the client, social workers should request that the court withdraw
the order or limit the order as narrowly as possible or maintain the
records under seal, unavailable for public inspection.
(k) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients when responding
to requests from members of the media.
(l) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients? written and
electronic records and other sensitive information. Social workers should
take reasonable steps to ensure that clients? records are stored in a secure
location and that clients? records are not available to others who are not
authorized to have access.
(m) Social workers should take precautions to ensure and maintain the
confidentiality of information transmitted to other parties through the use
of computers, electronic mail, facsimile machines, telephones and telephone
answering machines, and other electronic or computer technology.
Disclosure of identifying information should be avoided whenever possible.
(n) Social workers should transfer or dispose of clients? records in a manner
that protects clients? confidentiality and is consistent with state statutes
governing records and social work licensure.
(o) Social workers should take reasonable precautions to protect client
confidentiality in the event of the social worker?s termination of practice,
incapacitation, or death.
(p) Social workers should not disclose identifying information when discussing
clients for teaching or training purposes unless the client has consented
to disclosure of confidential information.
(q) Social workers should not disclose identifying information when discussing
clients with consultants unless the client has consented to disclosure
of confidential information or there is a compelling need for such
disclosure.
(r) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of deceased clients
consistent with the preceding standards.

Feel free to choose one of these codes of ethics.

In the US, there has been considerable debate about affirmative action (AA) in general, and preferential treatment for certain groups in particular. What often gets lost in the discussions of AA is that it can involve many other things. Its purpose is to encourage equal opportunity for everyone, and in the process increase the numbers of under-represented groups in the workplace at all levels. Although an AA plan is mandatory for most organizations in the US, preferential treatment is not under most circumstances.
In this exercise we will investigate what the federal government means by AA and how it was originally envisioned to operate. First, read the section of your textbook on discrimination pp. 69-76, 104-106, 212-217 to get some background.
Next, go to the website http://www.hr-software.net/EmploymentStatistics/ and find the Employment Statistics site. They have a copy of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures 1978. This is a government document that has become the basis for legal employee selection in the US. Read the sections on AA. Answer the following questions.
1. What is the general philosophy and purpose behind affirmative action?

2. Why was this activity thought to be needed?

3. Is preferential treatment required according to this document?

4. What practices are recommended?

5. Under these rules, can an organization use a valid test or other selection device if it results in hiring some groups in greater proportions than others?

6. How do you think these practices impact discrimination?

7. Write a 3 page (double spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font) analysis answering these questions, including information from your book, the website and your own thoughts.

? What factors could work against CadMex's decision to grant sublicensing agreements?

? When the local customs and laws conflict with the customs and laws of an organization operating abroad, which should prevail? Explain why.

? How would you compare the issues in this simulation to the domestic legal issues discussed in your Week One readings? How should companies resolve domestic and international issues differently?

In my issue paper I want to discuss the ethical implications to nurses for giving placebos. It is my understanding that currently, if a patient is not informed by his/her health care provider about placebos, it is unethical for a nurse to administer a placebo to a patient. It is my opinion that this undermines the effect of the pacebo and that nurses should be able to administer a placebo if prescribed by a patient's primary health care provider, whether the patient is informed or not. Please follow the guidelines provided for writing this paper.
5th edition APA citation of sources in the body of the paper is expected. Reference page must be typed according to APA 5th edition format.

***References must be from within the past five years

CE101 UNIT 5 DISCUSSION

Imagine the following scenario:

As an early childhood professional, you notice that a child is coming to school with dirty clothes and has an unkempt appearance. There is a noticeable difference in the child from the beginning of the year. You schedule a visit to the home and find that the mother has a debilitating illness, the washer is in need of repair, and that the father has taken on a double-shift to help pay for the mother?s medications.

How would you respond? As you review the key foundations of the Code of Ethical Code of Conduct, what considerations need to be made to ensure that the ethical responsibilities to the child are made? What should be done to ensure that the ethical responsibilities to the family are made? What should be done to ensure that the ethical responsibilities to the colleagues and community are made?


UNIT 7 DISCUSSION

This week, to further your understanding about the importance of continuing your professional development, you read about professional development in an NAEYC article titled "Building Better Futures for Children and the Profession." You also gained information regarding financial aid available to early childhood care professionals and explore early childhood conferences.

the text book THE SOCIAL WORK SKILLS WORKBOOK
Barry R Cournoyer the seventh Edition

The values, ethics, and legal obligations that guide social workers pertain to every aspect of pro-fessional practice. Indeed, you should consider ethical principles more important than theoretical knowledge, research findings, agency policies, and, of course, your own personal views. To make sound ethical decisions in social work practice, you should be familiar with the fundamental human rights of all people and the basic moral values involved in ethical decision making. You also need to know and understand the values of the profession, the principles reflected in the social work code of ethics, and the legal obligations affecting your practice. In addition, you need to identify the ethical principles, standards, and legal duties that may apply to particular situ-ations. Finally, when different values, ethical principles, or legal obligations conflict, you must be able to determine which ones take precedence over others. The skill of ethical decision making is fundamental to social work practice. Without such skill, you cannot legitimately claim professional status. Indeed, attempting to provide social work services without regard for ethical principles would be unconscionable. Chapter 5: Summary Exercises

1. As a social work student, you sometimes experience feelings of substantial distress and pressure when faced with numerous demands and challenges of life and school. You and your fellow students may occasionally be tempted to cheat in some fashion, perhaps by plagiarizing a paper, taking a ? cheat sheet? to an exam, collaborating with a colleague when you should be working alone, or lying to a professor to obtain a due- date exten-sion. You are not alone in dealing with such temptations. In recent years as many as 70? 86 percent of college students have cheated in college. The extent of college cheating has increased dramatically over the past several decades. In 1940, the percentage was in the range of 20? 23 percent ( Callahan, 2004; Simkin & McLeod, 2010). Assume that you are a student in a social work course. One of your classmates? a popular person in the program and one of your friends? purchased an essay from one of the Internet firms that sells college papers on various topics. With a sense of pride, she casually tells you that the paper cost only $ 50 and that when she submitted it for her social work course, the professor gave it an ? A+? grade. Use a word- processing program to ( a) list the specific ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics, your college or university?s Code of Academic Conduct, and those legal duties that you believe ap-ply to the case; ( b) if a conflict between two or more legal or ethical obligations exist, develop a case- specific values hierarchy to help you analyze and resolve the ethical di-lemma; ( c) describe the actions you would probably take as a social work student in this ?situation; and ( d) provide a brief rationale to support those actions. Save the document as ? Summary Ex 5- 1? and deposit it in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.
2. Assume that you are providing social work services to Jeanne, a 35- year- old woman who has just been diagnosed with HIV. You also know that her longtime male partner some-times physically and emotionally abuses her. Jeanne informs you that her partner does not have HIV and does not know that she now has the virus. Using a word- processing program, prepare brief responses to the following: ( a) List the specific ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics and identify those legal duties that you believe apply to the case; ( b) if a conflict between two or more legal or ethical obligations exists, develop a case- specific values hierarchy to help you analyze and resolve the dilemma; ( c) describe the actions you would probably take as a social worker in this situation; and ( d) provide a brief rationale to support those actions. Save the document as ? Summary Ex 5- 2? and deposit it in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.


3. Assume that you lead a social work group for people affected by substance misuse. Prior to and again at the first meeting, you indicated that as group members worked together to pursue their individual goals, personal information would probably be shared. You asked that each group member keep confidential whatever is said in the group. Each par-ticipant committed to do so and signed a confidentiality agreement. A few weeks later, you learn that one of the group members repeated something that was said in the group and, as a result, another group member was fired from his job. Use a word- processing program to ( a) list the specific ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics and identify those legal duties that you believe apply to the case; ( b) if a conflict between two or more legal or ethical obligations exists, develop a case- specific values ?hierarchy to help you analyze and resolve the ethical dilemma; ( c) describe the actions you would probably take as a social worker in this situation; and ( d) provide a brief rationale to support those actions. Save the document as ? Summary Ex 5- 3? and deposit it in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.

4. Assume that you serve as a social worker in an agency that provides counseling and other services to low- income families and children. Over the course of the last several weeks, you have been visiting a family of six: a heterosexual couple and their four children. The B. family has numerous needs but, together, you decided to work toward the goal of find-ing better paying and more stable employment. In the first meeting, you learned that Mr. and Mrs. B. are members of a religious organization that prohibits the use of medicines, surgical procedures, and forms of mod-ern medical care. As you chatted with 8- year- old Ruth during a recent visit, you noticed a tumor on her abdomen. You mentioned it to Mrs. B. who said that the entire family and other members of their religious group were praying daily for Ruth?s health. She expected their prayers would shortly be answered. When you next visited the family about a week later, you observed that the tumor was much larger and appeared darker in color. Use word- processing software to ( a) list the specific ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics and identify those legal duties that you believe apply to the case; ( b) if a conflict between two or more legal or ethical obligations exists, develop a case- specific values hierarchy to help you analyze and resolve the ethical dilemma; ( c) describe the actions you would probably take as a social worker in this situation; and ( d) provide a brief rationale to support those actions. Save the document as ? Summary Ex 5- 4? and deposit it in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.

5. As a social worker in the oncology unit of the general hospital, you frequently work with clients who are dying. An intelligent, articulate 88- year- old woman, Ms. T., who has suf-fered from intense pain for several months, informs you that she has hoarded powerful analgesic medicines and intends to take her life during the night. She says that she wants to say goodbye to you and to thank you for all your help during this time. However, she asks that you please refrain from interfering with her plans. Use word- processing software to ( a) list the specific ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics and identify those legal duties that you believe apply to the case; ( b) if a conflict between two or more legal or ethical obligations exists, develop a case- specific values hierarchy to help you analyze and resolve the ethical dilemma; ( c) describe the actions you would probably take as a social worker in this situation; and ( d) provide a brief rationale to support those actions. Save the document as ? Summary Ex 5- 5? and deposit it in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.
6. Assume that you have been providing social work services to a married couple that has indicated a desire to improve the quality of their relationship. You and the clients have agreed that direct, open, and honest communication is a relationship goal. Each has also expressed that sexual fidelity is an important dimension of their marriage. Between the fifth and sixth meetings, you receive a telephone call from one of the partners who says, ? I think it would help you to know that I am involved romantically with another person. My spouse does not know and I know that you will not reveal this information because of your legal obligation to maintain confidentiality. I want you to know about this other relationship because I think it will help you to help us. I have come to respect your ex-pertise. You are doing a wonderful job. Thank you.? Use a word- processing program to ( a) list the specific ethical principles from the NASW Code of Ethics and identify those legal duties that you believe apply to the case; ( b) if a conflict between two or more legal or ethical obligations exists, develop a case- specific values hierarchy to help you analyze and resolve the ethical dilemma; ( c) describe the actions you would probably take as a social worker in this situation; and ( d) provide a brief rationale to support those ac-tions. Save the document as ? Summary Ex 5- 6? and deposit it in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.
7. Please reflect on the content contained in this chapter and the exercises you completed. Based on your reflections, word- process a succinct one- to- two page essay titled ? Chal-lenges in Ethical Decision Making.? Within the essay, discuss the personal and emo-tional, the intellectual and professional, and the social and cultural challenges associated with ethical decision making. When you have finished, include the report in your Social Work Skills Learning Portfolio.

Saint Leo University
PSY 121 INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY
TERM PAPER GUIDELINES
A term paper is due at the end of Module 7. The paper is worth 100 points towards your final
grade.
PSY 121 is part of the General Education Program at Saint Leo University (see the university's
catalog for a complete description of the General Education program). "The goal of the
University's general education core curriculum is to provide undergraduate students with an
understanding of our Benedictine values and Catholic traditions while focusing on the liberal arts
and sciences and introducing undergraduate students to an understanding of the knowledge
needed to succeed in college and in life long learning." (Saint Leo University Catalog). Courses in
the General Education program introduce students to the university six core values:
Values Statements
Excellence Saint Leo University is an educational enterprise. All of us, individually and
collectively, work hard to ensure that our students develop the character, learn the skills, and
assimilate the knowledge essential to become morally responsible leaders. The success of our
University depends upon a conscientious commitment to our mission, vision, and goals.
Community Saint Leo University develops hospitable Christian learning communities
everywhere we serve. We foster a spirit of belonging, unity, and interdependence based on
mutual trust and respect to create socially responsible environments that challenge all of us to
listen, to learn, to change and to serve.
Respect Animated in the spirit of Jesus Christ, we value all individuals unique talents,
respect their dignity, and strive to foster their commitment to excellence in our work. Our
communitys strength depends on the unity and diversity of our people, on the free exchange of
ideas and on learning, living and working harmoniously.
Personal Development Saint Leo University stresses the development of every persons
mind, spirit, and body for a balanced life. All members of the Saint Leo University community must
demonstrate their commitment to personal development to help strengthen the character of our
community.
Responsible Stewardship Our creator blesses us with an abundance of resources. We
foster a spirit of service to employ our resources to university and community development. We
must be resourceful. We must optimize and apply all of the resources of our community to fulfill
Saint Leo Universitys mission and goals.
Integrity The commitment of Saint Leo University to excellence demands that its members
live its mission and deliver on its promise. The faculty, staff, and students pledge to be honest, just,
and consistent in word and deed.
For your paper, compare the university's core values, listed above, with the 2002 Ethical
Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of American Psychological Association (APA).
These principles can be found at the APA's web site (www.apa.org). Your paper should first
present a summary of the APA's ethical principles (do not simply copy them; rather summarize
them in your own words) and a summary of the university's values. Then, compare the two
identifying similarities and differences. You may also use additional sources, such as journal
articles (i.e. Johnson, W.B. & Campbell, C.D. (2002) Character and Fitness Requirements for
Saint Leo University
Professional psychologists: Are There Any? Professional Psychology: Research and Practice 33(1),
46-53.), and scholarly books.
Your paper should be between 6 to 8 double-spaced pages. Include your references. Do not
worry about which format you use (i.e. MLA or APA).
There are faxes for this order.

Analysis of an Ethical Position
Directions:
1. Identify the ethical issue as the author might word it in the essay below, ?We?ve Got To Ration Health Care.?
2. Then, analyze the author?s ethical stance using either Devettere?s, Darr?s, or my approach to analyzing ethical issues. If there are missing pieces in the analysis indicate what is missing and where it is missing.
3. Identify at least one major value that would be in conflict with the ethical position taken by the author and explain how and in what ways this value would conflict with the author?s.
4. Identify three vulnerabilities to the author?s position using the value(s) and/or course of action he uses or alternative values and courses of action.
5. Using letter grades, with pluses and minuses, rate the overall persuasiveness of the ethical argument the author presents.
6. Guess what the background or occupation is of this author (e.g., academic bioethicist, healthcare administrator, economist, etc.). Why do you think he is of the background or occupation you think he is?
===========================================================
?We?ve Got To Ration Health Care?
No trees grow to the sky, and no sector of our budget can continue to grow at the rate that health care has for the last 30 years.
It is common knowledge that the United States spends more (in total dollars and per capita) on health care than any other country, and that its cost is growing at more than twice the rate of inflation. But we don?t know what to do about it.
Let me suggest four harsh realities that must be accepted if we are to thoughtfully contain healthcare costs:
(1) There is little correlation between how much a nation spends on health care and how healthy it keeps its people. We spend 14* cents out of every dollar on health care, but do not keep our people as healthy as people in Europe, Canada, or Japan. Health care and health are not Siamese twins ? they are distant relatives.
A nation?s smoking and drinking habits, its diet, its public health measures, whether or not it makes basic health care available to all of its people, and how it organizes its health care all are more important than a nation?s spending level. America, in my opinion, already spends far too much on health care, and any reform should fund the inadequacies of our nation?s health-care system by diverting money from its many excesses.
(2) Every nation in the world rations medicine. Simply put, the miracles of medicine have outpaced the ability of even wealthy societies to pay for them. The United States rations health care by price and by leaving 43* million people out of it basic coverage. Even in this country, however, some seek to set priorities in health care, as the state of Oregon attempted*. No nation can afford to deliver all the health care that is arguably ?beneficial? to all of its citizens. Innovation grows faster than our ability to pay for it; we must have the maturity to admit that, as health-care economist Victor Fuchs says, ?We can?t give presidential health care to all Americans.?
(3) We must also recognize that every nation ? even the most egalitarian and socialized ? has more than one level of health care. If you have money in Sweden and need a procedure not covered by the government health-care program, you can go to England or the United States. In Britain, Canada and India, if a procedure is not covered by the basic health-care program, there are private doctors and hospitals that can meet your needs.
Here, we tolerate money being able to buy better food, better housing, better education, and never give it a thought. In our other publicly funded systems, we give people public housing, but don?t buy them houses; we give them food stamps, but we do not allow them to charge in restaurants; we fund public education, but we do not send people to private schools. Searching for a one-level health-care delivery system is a chimera! It doesn?t exist.
The compassionate search should be to find the highest possible level of basic health care that can be delivered to all the people. Other nations may limit some high-cost procedures in their basic health package, but they argue that it is better to ration procedures than to ration people ? as we do in the United States.
(4) Lastly, no other nation spends as much as the United States on the beginning of life or the end of life. No other nation takes 90-year-olds with congestive heart failure out of nursing homes and puts them in intensive care units for their last few days of life. No other nation gives chemotherapy to 85-year-olds with hopeless metastatic cancer. No other nation spends as much money trying to save premature infants.
In Sweden, they don?t try to save any baby under 1.5 pounds. They can prove to you that, in the world of limited resources, it is better to spend your money on prenatal care than on postnatal salvage. They are aghast that we spend so much money on high-cost neonatal care units, but don?t give all of our women prenatal care. ?By not asking how do you buy the most health for your society,? they would argue, ?you ignore the strategy that would actually save the most babies.? Spending money on Smith for Procedure A prevents us from helping Jones pay for Procedure Z. We live in a world of tradeoffs and the earlier we recognize this, the healthier we will be.
The chief obstacle for health care reform in the United States is the unrealistic expectations of the American public. We continue to think that we can deliver all of the health care that is beneficial, even at the margin, to all of our citizens. Alas, we cannot. The good news is that we can give better health care for less money to more people if only we will confront some of these harsh realities ? and make some hard choices.

As discussed in this weeks media presentation, all nurses need to be familiar with the laws and regulations that govern their practice: their states Nurse Practice Act; ANAs Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice; specialty group standards of practice, etc. In addition, basic ethical principles guide nurses decision-making process every day. ANAs Code of Ethics and ANAs Social Policy Statement are two important documents that outline nurses ethical responsibilities to their patients, themselves, and their profession. Yet, the laws are not always compatible with the ethical positions taken by nurses.

In preparation for this Discussion, review this weeks Learning Resources. Also, consider the ethical responsibility of nurses in issues such as ensuring patient autonomy, beneficence, nonmalfeasance, and justice. Then, read the following case study and respond to the questions below:

Lena is a community health care nurse who works exclusively with HIV-positive and AIDS patients. As a part of her job, she evaluates new cases and reviews confidential information about these patients. In the course of one of these reviews, Lena learns that her sisters boyfriend has tested HIV-positive. Lena would like to protect her sister from harm and begins to consider ways that her sister can find out about her boyfriends health status.

Consult at least two resources to help you establish the legal position. These resources might include your states Nurse Practice Act, the ANA's Code of Ethics, ANAs Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, and internal or external standards of care. Determine whether the law supports or conflicts with your ethical stance on the situation.

With this in mind:



Post a summary of what the legal resources and professional standards say about this case regarding Lenas disclosure of private information. Include the following in your summary:





How should nurse Lena act in this situation to safeguard herself legally and ethically?



Does the law support or conflict with your ethical stance on the situation?



Include in your response how nurse Lena is supporting or violating issues of autonomy, beneficence, nonmalfeasance, and justice.

Reminder: Be sure to support your response with appropriate references to the Learning Resources. If you use sources other than the course Learning Resources, please follow APA (American Psychological Association) guidelines and provide a proper citation and reference for each source. Refer to the APA Pocket Guide, sent to you.

Throughout this course, you have read and heard about the strengths and weaknesses of the U.S. health care delivery system in relationship to issues of cost, quality, access, and outcomes. Although the United States spends more on health care than any other country, health outcomes do not seem to justify the higher cost. To prepare for this Discussion, review Chapter 6, Comparative Analysis of Health Systems Among Wealthy Nations in Health Care Delivery in the United States (5th ed.), and consider what the United States can learn from other countries in formulating policies to reform and improve its health care system. Compare and contrast costs, access, and health care outcomes of the United States to another wealthy country. Then, respond to the following:



How are global factors, including nurse migration, affecting nursing and health care delivery?



What can the United States learn from other countries in formulating policies to reform and improve the U.S. health care system? Include specific examples of the country you compared the United States with in terms of cost, access, and health outcomes.
With this in mind:



Post a comparison of the U.S. health care system with another country of your choice. Determine how the U.S. health care system can be improved based on the other country's example. In your description, address the bulleted questions above

Reminder: Be sure to support your response with appropriate references to the Learning Resources. If you use sources other than the course Learning Resources, please follow APA (American Psychological Association) guidelines and provide a proper citation and reference for each source. Refer to the APA Pocket Guide, sent to you.
