2 Part II: Ethics and Patient Information
Apply what you know.
In our discussion this week, instead of viewing an ethical dilemma selected for our
discussion, you will be asked to locate an episode of a popular medical show, a segment
of which illustrates an ethical dilemma relating to medical records, EMRs, or medical
technologies. If you do not have access to medical shows or would prefer, you can select
a newspaper article which describes the ethical dilemma or a scene from a popular movie
showing the ethical dilemma.
In your initial post, you will describe the scenario selected and apply the below questions
to your scenario, starting with the first question:
1. Describe your chosen scenario in detail. What are the ethical dilemmas
presented in this scenario?
2. Who are the stakeholders? Remember to consider individuals, families,
communities, and organizations in your answer.
3. What would your recommendations be to address the ethical dilemmas that
you have identified. Consider and include each applicable component below in
