Week 3 Assignment
DEONTOLOGICAL
ETHICAL THEORY
Please review the following case:
At
thirty-three years of age, I was the youngest administrator in New York State
and was about to learn that adhering to company policies sometimes conflicts
with the needs of patients. In this case, it was a thirty-eight-year-old
employee who had been diagnosed with cancer. I remember the day well, even
though it was more than thirty years ago. My secretary alerted me that Carol, a
practical nurse and employee, had been admitted to the 3-North medical-surgical
week, where she worked. Without delay, I left my office and went to the nursing
week and inquired as to what room Carol was in.
Beth,
the week’s nurse manager, overheard my question. She walked up to me and asked,
“Daniel, could I please talk to you for a moment before you visit Carol?” I
looked at her and nodded my head yes, and without thought, we both walked into
her office. She closed the door and said, “As you know, we are self-insured and
the health insurance program that we have does not cover Carol’s chemotherapy
treatments. She cannot bear the cost. Is there anything you can do to help
her?” I replied that I would make an inquiry with our human resources director
to see what could be done.
Beth
asked, “Would you mind if I went with you to Carol’s room for a few minutes.”
Daniel compassionately replied, “Of course, you can.” They walked to Carol’s
room. Her husband and children had just left. Beth stayed for a few minutes
while Daniel remained behind chatting with Carol for a few moments and said he
would be back to talk with her more.
Daniel
went to speak with Christine, the human resources director for his hospital.
There were two other hospitals in the multihospital system. He explained
Carol’s financial situation and her lack of funds for her chemotherapy
treatment. Christine replied, “Daniel, this is a corporate policy that is
applicable to all three hospitals with which we must comply.” Following much
discussion, Daniel said, “Christine, Carol is an employee, and I realize there
are conflicting duties here.
One is
to follow corporate policy or choose to do, as I see it, what is right for
Carol. If you prefer, I can request an exception to the rule. To me, right
trumps duty.” Christine looked at Daniel and said, “Daniel, I will see what I
can do. I have a good relationship with the corporate vice president for human
resources. If anyone can make an exception, he can make it happen. I know you
would do the same for me or any other employee.”
Please address the following
questions drawing support from your course resources and credible scholarly
resources cited in APA format:
1.      Discuss at least three potential
long-term effects of granting an exception for Carol.
2.      Justify the position that doing
the right thing is always more important that maximizing good and defend the
argument that “right trumps duty.” Be sure to provide examples from personal or
professional scenarios.
