Based on your learning activities, respond to the following prompts:

Choose one of the Composite Case Studies presented by Ong- Flaherty, et al., (2016) that resonates most with you.

Identify which of the Fifteen Ethical Principles of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights were violated in the case (These principles are on p. 682 in Melnyk & Fineout).

Examine the cultural considerations embedded in the case.

How can this case be used to inform future practice?

Ethics is a broad term that covers the study of the nature of morals and the specific moral choices to be made. Normative ethics attempts to answer the question, “Which general moral norms for the guidance and evaluation of conduct should we accept, and why?” [5]. Some moral norms for right conduct are common to human kind as they transcend cultures, regions, religions, and other group identities and constitute common morality (e.g., not to kill, or harm, or cause suffering to others, not to steal, not to punish the innocent, to be truthful, to obey the law, to nurture the young and dependent, to help the suffering, and rescue those in danger).

EXCELSIOR – NUR513 RESEARCH AND EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Module 3 Discussion Particular morality refers to norms that bind groups because of their culture, religion, profession and include responsibilities, ideals, professional standards, and so on. A pertinent example of particular morality is the physician’s “accepted role” to provide competent and trustworthy service to their patients. To reduce the vagueness of “accepted role,” physician organizations (local, state, and national) have codified their standards. However, complying with these standards, it should be understood, may not always fulfill the moral norms as the codes have “often appeared to protect the profession’s interests more than to offer a broad and impartial moral viewpoint or to address issues of importance to patients and society” [6].
