Case Scenario:
Consider Alex, an x-ray technology student who has never performed procedures on emergency room patients. As part of his training Alex is rotating through the emergency room and has been asked to take x-rays of the head and neck of an alert yet seriously injured patient Mr. Hanson. The x-ray supervisor/instructor, Ms. Dubois, is present when Alex attempts the x-rays which require the patient to be manipulated into particular and potentially painful positions. Nothing is said to the patient other than " we are going to take some x-rays sir!"
After three unsuccessful attempts, the patient complains about the pain and the x-ray supervisor takes over and completes the procedures with success.
The focus of the dilemma is on whether the patient should have been told that Alex is a student. After reading the module materials and once you have an understanding of ethical dilemmas and principles answer the following two questions in an essay not to exceed 3 pages.
Q1. Identify the people/parties that have a stake or interest in this scenario, and explain how the interests may conflict.
Q2. Identify the ethical principles that may be applied in resolving the dilemma in the scenario. Be sure to discuss the prima facie duties and principles.
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
