Item 1 Consider the following scenario: Saliesha, an oncology department worker, accepted a friend request on social media from Marcia, a patient. Marcia is currently being treated at Saliesha’s clinic, and the two had become close. Marcia makes a post on social media that compliments the clinic and Saliesha, in particular. Saliesha, flattered by Marcia’s kind words, replies to the post, “Thank you Marcia, and I am so sorry that your treatment is not going well.” Although Marcia is open about her diagnosis in social media, she tries to stay positive about her prognosis, and this post has caused an assumption from her family and friends that the treatment has been unsuccessful. Marcia, devastated by this, files a formal complaint against the clinic and Saliesha. What ethical and/or legal issues are present in this scenario? What consequences could Saliesha face? What could have been done differently to avoid this situation and protect the patient? Item 2 Consider the following scenario: Franco works at a very busy medical practice doing billing, coding, and posting. He handles sensitive materials with confidential information on a daily basis. Franco knows that all of these documents need to be properly shredded, but the closest shredder in the office is on the other side of the office and one floor down, and Franco has arthritis, so getting to the shredder every day is difficult. Franco has developed a habit of putting all the sensitive documents in a box beneath his desk. He waits until it fills, then takes the box to the shredder once or twice a week. One morning, Franco comes into work, and finds the box has been emptied. It turns out that a new night custodian has thrown the box of documents into the regular trash. What ethical and/or legal issues are present in this scenario? What consequences could Franco face? What could have been done differently to avoid this situation and protect the patient? Item 3 Consider the following scenario: Drew is a surgeon who is attending a party with friends. One of his golfing buddies walks up to him and asks about an employee of his, Jack, who recently injured himself after a stack of wood fell on his leg at a construction site. Drew expresses some hesitation, but then explains that Jack sustained substantial injuries to his leg and, although he is doing well, he has a long recovery ahead of him. The next day, Drew sees Jack for a postoperative follow-up. Jack expresses gratitude for the work Drew performed on his leg and then asks him not to discuss his case with anyone outside of his family because he only recently started the job and his benefits, including disability insurance, will not be active for several more days. What ethical and/or legal issues are present in this scenario? For example, were the remarks made by Drew are a breach of confidentiality? Was Jack’s privacy ignored? Could Drew be liable for his actions? Item 4 Consider the following scenario: Reese works at the administration building for a large medical network. He receives an email that says his account has been compromised and that he needs to change his password right away, so he clicks the link in the email and makes the change. A week later, Reese’s boss comes into his office and tells Reese that the network has been victim to a massive breach and thousands of patient records were compromised. IT traced the source of the reach to Reese’s account and computer. The email that Reese received the week before was a phishing email, and by clicking that link, he exposed the organization. What ethical and/or legal issues are present in this scenario? Could Reese be liable for the data breach? What consequences could Reese face? What could have been done differently to avoid this situation and protect the patient? Item 5 Consider the following scenario: Francine is an emergency room nurse at a busy urban hospital. On a particularly busy night, a patient is brought in with possible alcohol poisoning. The patient is given oxygen therapy and an IV drip to prevent dehydration, and, it seems, he will be fine. Francine attends to one of her other patients for several minutes, and when she returns to find the patient has fallen off his bed and hit his head. Francine calls for help, returns the patient to his bed, checks his vital signs, and makes sure that the patient’s bed rails are engaged. Everything appears normal, and the patient’s treatment continues. Several hours later, Francine checks in on the patient, and he is unresponsive. It turns out that he has fractured his skull and has a bleed in his brain. What ethical and/or legal issues are present in this scenario? Could Francine be held liable? What consequences could Francine face? What could have been done differently to avoid the situation and protect the patient? ***Please include in-text citations and References, Thank you ****
