Medical Indications

Beneficence and Nonmaleficence

Patient Preferences

Autonomy

The principle of beneficence and non-maleficence is among the major five ethical principles outlined by APA. The beneficence principle states that psychologists should only engage in activities, which are beneficial to others (Young, 2017). On the other hand, the principle of non-maleficence states that practitioners should ensure that no one is hurt during their practices (Singh & Ivory, 2015). They should expose clients to the minimum harm to obtain the best outcomes. In the case study, the incidents of beneficence and non-maleficence are as described below.

·         The physician suggested immediate dialysis for James during the first visit due to his elevated blood pressure and fluid buildup,

·         Placing James on regular dialysis during the second visit to stabilize his deteriorating condition,

·         Proposing a kidney transplant to be performed within the next one year despite James being in a stable state currently,

·         Informing Mike and Joanne that the church members were not potential donors due to mismatch of their tissues, and

·         Suggesting for Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, James’ brother Samuel.

 

Autonomy is another major ethical principle, which psychologists and healthcare providers are required to adhere to. This ethical principle states that everyone is entitled to the right to independence, self-determination, and freedom to make their own choices without being influenced (Motloba, 2018). In the healthcare sector, the principle of autonomy states that clients have a right to make decisions about their own health without being influenced by care providers. Therefore, healthcare providers should respect autonomy even if they are not in agreement with the decision made by the client. The case study portrays various incidents of autonomy as illustrated below. Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative

 

v  The physician did not interrupt when Mike and Joane were making decisions regarding James’ medication,

v  The physician did not interrupt when Mike and Joane were making a decision to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God, and

v  The physician did not interrupt when Mike and Joane were making a decision whether to let Samuel donate a kidney to James or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around.

v  The physician did not consider Mike or Joanne as ideal kidney donors to James since they were not compatible donors,

v  The physician did not consider any of the church members as an ideal donor since their tissues did not match with those of James,

v  The physician advised Mike and Joanne to ensure a kidney transplant was done in the next year despite James’ current stable state,

v  The physician proposed Samuel as an ideal kidney donor, and Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative

v  The physician allowed Mike and Joanne to make a decision about Samuel donating one of his kidneys to his brother, James.

This APA general principle holds that individuals are entitled to the advancements, which have been made within a particular field of practice such as psychology or healthcare (APA, 2020). Justice and fairness are portrayed in the case study in one major incident.

v  The physician allowed James to use the dialysis machine. This machine was used to perform daily rounds of dialysis to stabilize his condition.

 

 

 

 

Part 2: Evaluation

Answer each of the following questions about how principlism would be applied:

In 200-250 words, answer the following: According to the Christian worldview, which of the four principles is most pressing in this case? Explain why. (45 points)

In the context of the Christian worldview, the principle of autonomy would be considered as the most pressing in this case. Autonomy states that everyone is entitled to the right to independence, self-determination, and freedom to make their own choices without being influenced (Singh & Ivory, 2015). In the healthcare sector, the principle of autonomy states that clients have a right to make decisions about their own health without being influenced. Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative. Therefore, healthcare providers should respect autonomy even if they are not agreed with the decision made by the client regarding treatment procedures. In this case, parents (Mike and Joane) are entitled to the independence of thought, and action when making any decision regarding the health care procedures of the patient since he is a minor. Thus, the physician respects their decision even if he was not in an agreement with it. The physician does not interrupt their decision to taking James home and wait for a miracle even if he was proposing for immediate dialysis due to his deteriorating condition. Additionally, he does not influence their decision when they decided to believe in God rather than making their son, Samuel loses his kidney. These two decisions were wrong and they were putting James’ life in danger. He could end up losing his life while they were waiting for God’s best time to perform a miracle for them Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative. Therefore, the Christian worldview considers autonomy as the most pressing principle among the four principles evidence in the case study.

 

In 200-250 words, answer the following: According to the Christian worldview, how might a Christian rank the priority of the four principles? Explain why. (45 points)

A Christian would rank the principles in order. The principle of Non-maleficence, which advocates for less harmful procedures would be ranked as the first one (Ediger, 2015). This principle ensures that healthcare practitioners expose clients to minimize harm to get the best results. The second principle is justice or fairness. This principle holds that individuals are entitled to the advancements, which have been made within a particular field of practice such as psychology or healthcare. Therefore, this principle will give Christians an opportunity to benefit from technological advancements while receiving treatment. The third is the principle of beneficence, which advocates for good intentions towards the patients (Al-Bar & Chamsi-Pasha, 2015). Therefore, Christians should consider a decision that accrues the most benefits to them. Thus, the principle is against the Christians who fail to seek medication on time due to their faith. This behavior makes their health condition deteriorate like in the case of James. The principle of autonomy would be ranked as the last one. This ethical principle states that everyone is entitled to the right to independence, self-determination, and freedom to make their own choices without being influenced Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative. In this case, parents are entitled to the independence of intention, thought, and action when making any decision regarding health care procedures since the patient is a minor. The healthcare practitioner, therefore, is not supposed to use false during the decision-making process. This principle risks the health of most Christians who based their health decisions on faith rather than on facts.

Case Study: Healing and Autonomy

Mike and Joanne are the parents of James and Samuel, identical twins born 8 years ago. James is currently suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, kidney failure. James was originally brought into the hospital for complications associated with a strep throat infection. The spread of the A streptococcus infection led to the subsequent kidney failure. James’s condition was acute enough to warrant immediate treatment. Usually cases of acute glomerulonephritis caused by strep infection tend to improve on their own or with an antibiotic. However, James also had elevated blood pressure and enough fluid buildup that required temporary dialysis to relieve Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative.

The attending physician suggested immediate dialysis. After some time of discussion with Joanne, Mike informs the physician that they are going to forego the dialysis and place their faith in God. Mike and Joanne had been moved by a sermon their pastor had given a week ago, and also had witnessed a close friend regain mobility when she was prayed over at a healing service after a serious stroke. They thought it more prudent to take James immediately to a faith healing service instead of putting James through multiple rounds of dialysis Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative. Yet, Mike and Joanne agreed to return to the hospital after the faith healing services later in the week, and in hopes that James would be healed by then.

Two days later the family returned and was forced to place James on dialysis, as his condition had deteriorated. Mike felt perplexed and tormented by his decision to not treat James earlier. Had he not enough faith? Was God punishing him or James? To make matters worse, James’s kidneys had deteriorated such that his dialysis was now not a temporary matter and was in need of a kidney transplant. Crushed and desperate, Mike and Joanne immediately offered to donate one of their own kidneys to James, but they were not compatible donors. Over the next few weeks, amidst daily rounds of dialysis, some of their close friends and church members also offered to donate a kidney to James. However, none of them were tissue matches.

James’s nephrologist called to schedule a private appointment with Mike and Joanne. James was stable, given the regular dialysis, but would require a kidney transplant within the year. Given the desperate situation, the nephrologist informed Mike and Joanne of a donor that was an ideal tissue match, but as of yet had not been considered—James’s brother Samuel.

Mike vacillates and struggles to decide whether he should have his other son Samuel lose a kidney or perhaps wait for God to do a miracle this time around. Perhaps this is where the real testing of his faith will come in? Mike reasons, “This time around it is a matter of life and death. What could require greater faith than that?” Case Study on Biomedical Ethics in the Christian Narrative

Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay

Watson’s theory of human caring

Introduction

Health professionals including nurses are expected to the truthful to their colleagues and more so to their patients (Fontes, Menezes, Borgato, et al., 2017). However, if a closer re-examination was to be done in the daily routine of a nurse, there are situations where telling the truth may not be the best option. This raises a significant question: are nurses especially obligated to tell the truth in situations where a level of dishonesty is bound to save the patient from more harm? When and under which circumstances withholding truth should be justified? Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay.

One such scenario is when a Muslim patient comes to the healthcare facility seeking IVF treatment. The couple has been married for three years without any children forthcoming. All medical interventions have failed.  The woman’s in-laws are a traditionalist and are demanding for a grandchild. The in-laws are pushing for divorce and requesting their son to marry a ‘fertile’ woman. The husband has obliged to his family’s request. However, the wife persuaded him that they try IVF. However, after the first round of IVF treatment, the treatment fails. The woman is definitely going to lose her husband and home Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay. The ethical dilemma for the nurse at this point is whether to tell the patient the truth or withhold part of or all of the truth.

Violation of the Nursing Code of Ethics

Nursing code 1.4 discusses the right of self-determination of a patient. Nurses are obligated under this code to include patients in discussions, identify options, provide referrals to resources, and address any problems in the process of decision-making. The nurse should show support of patient autonomy by respecting the method of decision making the patient applies while recognizing that different cultures understand confidentiality, privacy, autonomy, and healing in different ways (Winland, Lachman, & Swanson, 2015).

Nursing code 2.1 discusses the primacy of the patient’s interests. In this code, the primary commitment of the nurse is to the patient. Any plan of care should be reflective of this commitment. A nurse should address the interests of a patient against the background of the patient’s place in the family as well as other relationships. Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay. Where there is a conflict between the patient’s interests and others, a nurse should attempt to resolve the conflict. If a nurse does not succeed in resolving the conflict, then the patient’s wishes should be upheld (Winland, Lachman, & Swanson, 2015).

In this case scenario, the failure to disclose the information to the patient will violate both nursing codes 1.4 and 2.1. The nurse as a caring provider should use wisdom in disclosing the information to the patient and her spouse. The nurse will also help the situation better by collaborating with other colleagues in the healthcare facility. Nursing code 2.3 encourages nurses to collaborate with other healthcare professionals for the provision of high-quality care to the patient. Thus, in this case, while disclosing the information, other professionals such as a psychologist, OBGYN, and child social services should be present. These additional staff will offer the patient the needed support as well as offer her options on the way forward regarding starting her own family with her husband. Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay.

Creating an Ethical Environment in the Workplace

Regan, Laschinger, & Wong (2016) propose that to create and sustain an ethical environment in the workplace, a nurse as a leader can define the professional responsibilities’ scope in ethical situations such as identifying nurse expectations when they fail to observe ethical behavior.  A nurse as a leader can support and encourage ethical concerns’ open expression for example when a nurse faces an ethical dilemma, nursing ethics consultants and ethics committees can be utilized. Additionally, a nurse as a leader can make ethics resources available for nurses and which will allow for open discussion on ethical challenges with no fear of retribution. Lastly, the nurse leader can establish a mechanism that will protect staff when they wish to anonymously report an unethical issue.

Watson’s theory of Human Caring in Ethical Decision Making

The nurse should practice loving kindness to the patient and her husband; she should not ridicule or show criticism to the childless couple but instead, reassure them that medical and social procedures still exist that have the potential to change their situation. By being authentically present, the nurse is fully aware of her emotions toward the patient and does not allow these emotions to cloud her judgment. The nurse can use her emotions to offer empathy to the patient and her husband. A nurse also needs to cultivate her spiritual practice and be aware that one is more than just a body. When one’s spirit is aligned with the body and mind, then one is likely to be in a calmer mental state and can offer the same calmness to the patient Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay. The nurse should also develop and sustain a caring relationship with the patient. In this case, the nurse should have a trusting relationship with the patient to the point that the patient is willing to listen to and consider the alternative options for resolving her health issue. It is expected that the patient will have both negative feelings and possibly positive ones. The nurse should be present and support whichever of the two emotions expressed by the patient.

Further, a nurse can use creative ways of knowing in assisting the patient. In this case, the nurse can involve other professionals in the decision making to offer the patient with other options of starting a family. As the nurse engages in genuine learning and teaching experience, the knowledge base is increased and can be utilized in future similar occurrences. In this case, the solutions provided by other professionals involved in this case scenario will offer a teaching-learning experience that the nurse will refer to in the future as a guide in caregiving. Additionally, the nurse should offer an environment that promotes healing Watson’s theory of human caring nursing essay. In the case scenario, the healing process involves psychological healing and thus, a nurse should involve a psychologist in the patient’s healing process. Lastly, the nurse should assist the patient with basic needs as well as be open to the possibility of a miracle. Medical miracles have been reported even in cases of infertility. The nurse should give hope to the patient without promising pie in the sky guarantees. The hope given to the patient should be backed by evidence-based practices.

In conclusion, the 10 Caritas need to be applied when caring for a patient. In this case scenario, a nurse can use Watson’s theory to ensure the patient gets the best outcomes out of the possibly problematic situation she finds herself.

CBT vs REBT Essay

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy versus Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy

Introduction

According to the World Health Organization, mental and behavioral health disorders are a global public health concern that affects more than 70 million people at one point in life. This estimate contributes to approximately 10% of the global disease burden and is expected to increase by the year 2030 (David et al., 2018).  In the United States, behavioral and mental disorders affect close to 50 million adults. However, despite the high prevalence, highly recognized therapies are effectively being used to alleviate this problem resulting to improved health outcomes CBT vs REBT Essay. The best examples of therapies being used are: cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a treatment approach used to manage people with different mental and behavioral health problems based on thoughts, behavior and emotions. In comparison, rational emotive behavioral therapy emphasizes on rational thinking for the development of healthy expressions and emotional behavior. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between the two behavioral therapies and how the differences might impact my clinical practice as a mental health counselor. CBT vs REBT Essay To add on, I will discuss about the version of cognitive behavioral therapy I would use with clients with supporting reasons.

Similarities Between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) And Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy and rational emotive behavioral therapy use theories which are founded from the ABC model. Therefore, the two therapies have similar beliefs in terms of development and maintenance of psychopathology (Brown  & Gaudiano, 2013) CBT vs REBT Essay.  To add on, the practical applications of both CBT and REBT are the same more so in terms of organization and interrelations of beliefs which may either be labeled as irrational or dysfunctional. The last similarity is that the major notions of CBT and REBT uphold that human behavior and emotions are highly dependent on individual beliefs, ideas, thinking and attitude and not by the sole occurrence of events. Therefore, for behavioral and emotional change to occur, one has to change his/her thinking.

Differences Between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) And Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy

A major difference between CBT and REBT is that REBT addresses the irrational thoughts and philosophical basis of emotional disturbance based on a client’s personality, which results to solutions that involve unconditional self-acceptance. On the contrary, CBT addresses irrational thoughts based on a client’s disorder through reinforcement of positive qualities which leaves many pitfalls in case of a client’s poor performance (David, Lynn & Ellis, 2010).  CBT insists on psychoeducation as an early vital component of treatment while REBT is highly reliant on psychoeducation in the entire period of treatment CBT vs REBT Essay.

With regards to the therapeutic relationships, CBT emphasizes on having a high quality therapeutic relationship for good treatment outcomes whereas REBT does not recognize the necessity of a therapeutic relationship. In terms of reasoning, CBT utilizes inductive reasoning by laying emphasis on inferential thinking. In contrast, REBT maximizes on deductive thoughts with a focus on evaluative reasoning (Sapp, 2014) v. Generally, these differences would help to gauge the best case practice scenarios that one therapy may be well suited to adequately address a client’s needs as in comparison to another for a mental health counselor.

The Version Of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy I Might Use With Clients

The version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that I might use with clients is Dialectical Behavioral therapy. This form is highly reliable in being able to identify the triggers which result to negative tendencies and thoughts such as self-harm, suicidal thoughts and drug abuse (Craske & American Psychological Association, 2017).  It also provides a mental health counselor with a framework for identifying the irrational and dysfunctional behavior in a client and the tools that can effectively be used to counteract it CBT vs REBT Essay.

Conclusion

From this discussion on the similarities and differences between REBT and CBT, it is rather evident that the latter is more advantageous as compared to the former CBT vs REBT Essay. A perfect example is in the management of self-esteem, the establishment of a therapeutic relationship and thinking style. With this knowledge, mental health counselors are able to apply the most effective therapies depending on a client’s needs.
