Students will write a 6-8-page APA paper on some controversial topic central to ethical decision making in healthcare. The object of this paper is for the student to probe deeper into a particular issue than we would be able to in class. The class readings should be viewed as only a jumping off point for this paper. Include a title page and reference page according to the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual.
The two students will pick a topic and do the following:
1. Demonstrate you understand the complexity of the ethical issue by researching the many sides of the topic.
2. Introduction of the ethical dilemma. Give a background history of the ethical dilemma.
3. The student will argue logically one point of view and back up your claim with evidence-based information and the corresponding citations.
4. The student will argue logically another point of view and back up your claim with evidence-based information and the corresponding citations.
5. Demonstrate an understanding of ethical theories in the construction of your argument that were necessary to support your claim with information from the textbook and other evidence-based resources.
6. State clearly and succinctly your conclusion on this topic.
7. Use standard APA 7th ed. style and formatting.
8. Use headings for each argument and other corresponding headings
