Identify
the professional code of ethics for your professional specialty or a
specialty that you are interested in, describe the decision criteria,
and analyze each theory using examples and the Ethical Theory Matrix
Template
Ethics is a branch of philosophy devoted to the study of morality.
Ethics has a long history of theories about determining right from wrong
and identifying the principles of living a good life. For this
assessment, you will be asked to apply foundational principles in
ethics, such as autonomy and justice, in a relevant health care setting.
Each profession within health care has its own code of ethical
behavior designed to help individuals within that profession to make
sound ethical choices in carrying out the tasks and practices particular
to their professional role. It may be useful to locate one or more
relevant codes of ethics for your current or desired career path. This
research will be beneficial to your professional development, and you
will have a chance to apply it to the Tonya’s Case: Ethics and
Professional Codes assessment in this course.
These are broad-ranging topics, which, if taken alone, seem almost
comically simple. Of course, rational people of legal age should be able
to make decisions concerning themselves and their minor children. Of
course, medical professionals should be honest with patients, and, of
course, patients should be honest with members of their health care
teams. Of course, one’s medical issues should be kept private. But
rarely are things as simple as they seem. Take some time to scratch
beneath the surface, and we encounter myriad ethical dilemmas.
Honesty tends to be a revered trait in many cultures. However, many
people admit to lying occasionally, especially if the intent is to spare
someone pain, embarrassment, or anguish. Is lying to someone because of
love, concern, or reputation ever ethical?
Privacy and confidentiality are also important concepts. But are
there limits? Can the greater good ever outweigh the rights of
individuals?
And at what point can others, whether an individual or an entity such
as a government body, ethically determine someone’s actions, fate, or
choices? Fluoridated water, smoking regulations, compulsory K–12
education, and speed limits are only a few examples of how we, as a
society, agree to limited personal freedoms because these things are
good for us.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your
proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment
scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Articulate ethical issues in health care.
Articulate the time-tested theories of ethics.
Describe the strengths and weaknesses of the time-tested theories of ethics.
Competency 4: Explain the conceptual framework that health care leaders use to make ethical decisions.
Identify the decision criteria of the time-tested theories of ethics.
As you begin work on your Ethical Theories Matrix assessment, it may
be helpful to review the suggested resources focused on moral and
ethical considerations. For your own reference, you may want to briefly
jot down your thoughts related to:
An inventory of the basic principles of health care ethics. These
principles are nonmaleficence, beneficence, utility, distributive
justice, and autonomy.
An explanation of each principle as well as your own example to illustrate the application of each.
Drawing from the material covered in the resources as well as your own research, complete this assessment using the attachment below
For each theory, first describe the decision criteria. The decision
criteria are the instructions the theory gives for how to reach the
morally correct choice in a situation that requires action.
Then, provide your own example of how someone might act using the decision criteria of the theory.
Finally, briefly describe the strengths and weaknesses of each
theory using the last two columns of the Ethical Theory Matrix Template.
The suggested resources for this assessment could help you get a
start on completing the matrix, but do not hesitate to use any outside
resources that you can find online, the Capella library, or elsewhere.This matrix is a tool you will use throughout the rest of the course.
Submit your completed matrix as an attachment to this assessment.Refer to the Matrix of Ethical Theories Scoring Guide for more information on how this assessment will be graded.

Develop
an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the patient,

Develop
an intervention (your capstone project), as a solution to the patient,
family, or population problem you’ve defined. Submit the proposed
intervention to the faculty for review and approval. This solution needs
to be implemented (shared) with your patient, family, or group. You are
not to share your intervention with your patient, family, or group or
move on to Assessment 5 before your faculty reviews/approves the
solution you submit in Assessment 4. In a separate written deliverable,
write a 5–7 page analysis of your intervention.
In your first three assessments, you applied new knowledge
and insight gleaned from the literature, from organizational data, and
from direct consultation with the patient, family, or group (and perhaps
with subject matter and industry experts) to your assessment of the
problem. You’ve examined the problem from the perspectives of
leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, policy,
quality of care, patient safety, costs to the system and individual,
technology, care coordination, and community resources. Now it’s time to
turn your attention to proposing an intervention (your capstone
project), as a solution to the problem.
In this assessment, you’ll develop an intervention as a
solution to the health problem you’ve defined. To prepare for the
assessment, think about an appropriate intervention, based on your work
in the preceding assessments, that will produce tangible, measurable
results for the patient, family, or group. In addition, you might
consider using a root cause analysis to explore the underlying reasons
for a problem and as the basis for developing and implementing an action
plan to address the problem. Some appropriate interventions include the
following:
Creating an educational brochure.
Producing an educational voice-over PowerPoint presentation or video focusing on your topic.
Creating a teaching plan for your patient, family, or group.
Recommending work process or workflow changes addressing your topic.
Plan to spend at least 3 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group.
In addition, you may wish to complete the following:
Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to
ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete and
how it will be assessed.
Conduct sufficient research of the scholarly and
professional literature to inform your work and meet scholarly
expectations for supporting evidence.
Note: As you revise your writing, check out the resources listed on the Writing Center’s Writing Support page.
Complete this assessment in two parts: (a) develop an
intervention as a solution to the problem and (b) submit your proposed
intervention, with a written analysis, to your faculty for review and
approval.
Part 1
