Health Care and Ethics Paper
The purpose of the course project is to provide you with an opportunity to synthesize various influences that help define ethical and legal behavior in a health care environment into a formal paper. Draw upon scholarly literature and trends to predict how theory will be modified and applied to evaluate dilemmas health care providers must confront.
This formal paper asks you to evaluate day-to-day ethical and legal dilemmas and examine cultural, ethical, and legal norms within the health care arena; for example, right to die issues and health care as a privilege or right.
You will choose from the following list of theories:
- Kantianism.
- Utilitarianism.
- Liberal individualism.
- Communitarianism.
You will use the theory selected to analyze the value dilemmas that health care providers must confront. You may integrate several theories as necessary, but the theory you select must be the prominent one you use to guide your analysis throughout the paper.
