Ethical and Legal Issues

Back in the olden days, there was a section of the newspaper called “Dear Abby”

For our discussion board this week, you are going to do two things:

1. Create a post with a unique title in this forum. Write a post in a Dear Abby style letter (or “Dear Florence” if you like) about a nurse in an ethical or legal situation. You can make one up entirely, use one you have heard about in the news, or write about one you have experienced. (BUT DO NOT USE ANY IDENTIFYING NAMES OR LOCATIONS OF PATIENTS, NURSES. OR FACILITIES) Initial posts are due by Wednesday, @ 2359.

2. Then, post a response to a classmate’s “letter” giving them advice, and instructing them as to what ethical or legal violation they could be in danger of. Support your answer with one of the legal terms we covered in class. (Powerpoint is posted in Canvas if you need a refresher.) Responses are due by Sunday @ 2359.
