Introduction to Ethics

 

Texas has a law that prohibits the removal of mechanical life-support such as a ventilator from a pregnant patient.

In November 2013, when Marlise Munoz was 14 weeks pregnant she was found unconscious in her Texas home.  With her husband and family in deep distress, they rushed her to a hospital where she was placed on a machine to keep her alive.  Soon thereafter, doctors at the hospital pronounced her brain dead.  Her husband and family eventually asked that she be removed from life support but Texas law prohibits removing a pregnant woman from life support if it threatens the life of the fetus.  A Texas Judge has now ordered that the 22 week pregnant woman removed from life support, as requested by the family.  For background, click here: LINK (Links to an external site.). https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/24/health/pregnant-brain-dead-woman-texas/

For our week 4 discussion, answer the two following questions:

[1] From a utilitarian moral perspective of the greatest good of the greatest number and also the utilitarian evaluative criteria of happiness versus suffering, explain the rightness or wrongness of a law that prohibits the removal of a pregnant woman from life support.  Also discuss the sad case of Marlise Munoz with someone else for how that person feels about it and what moral concerns s/he has about this particular case.  Do you think that the husband of Marlise Munoz should only be granted his request to remove his wife because he has concerns about indications of severe abnormalities in the developing fetus but not if the fetus were perfectly normal?  Explain.

[2] In terms utilitarian ethics, discuss the moral issues at stake in the famous so-called Trolley Problem as related in the eText and also Michael Sandel’s Harvard lecture (LINK (Links to an external 

site.)),  https://www.cnn.com/2014/01/24/health/pregnant-brain-dead-woman-texas/

where “you are beside a train track with a train headed down the track. However, on the track ahead are five people who will all be killed if the train continues. But you also have access to a switch, and if you pull it the train will be diverted onto another track where there is only one person” (eText p.36).  Do you think that this type of moral choice between the lesser of evils as in this Trolley Problem is realistic to what we might face in our everyday lives or places of employment?  Do you think there is such a thing as a moral duty to choose between the lesser of evils?  Why or why not?  Can you give an example to support your point?

Case study #1 

Mrs. Franklin-Jones was admitted from the Emergency Room to Cardiac Intensive Care one week ago with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. She has recovered as expected and is moving to the cardiac step down unit today. She is talking with Nurse Julie Hernandez, as she gets settled in her new room, “I was really surprised when I got that bad pain in my chest! I knew I had high pressure but I just didn’t think it was that bad. I try to take my medicine like they told me to in the clinic but sometimes I forget. I guess that I need to study those papers they gave me about what foods I should eat and not eat. I better take care of myself! Momma had bad pressure and it killed her! Who knows—I may even have to learn to cook different than I was taught in Jamaica! I may have to let Tomas do the cooking. He’s got more time at home now than I do since he lost his job. There isn’t too much time between my shifts at the school cafeteria and my new housecleaning job. You know my sister is coming up from Jamaica to see me. I think she is bringing me some bush tea. That’ll set me right!”

  • Using Leininger’s Culture Care Model, what factors in the story shared by Mrs. Franklin-Jones should be considered by Nurse Hernandez when planning for the patient’s discharge?
  • Why is the theory of Culture Care Diversity important in the delivery of nursing care for all patients?
  • Using Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care Diversity and Universality, develop a plan of care for Mrs. Franklin-Jones.
  • Discuss the strengths and limits to Leininger’s Theory.

Case Study #2

Claude Jean-Baptiste is recovering from post-hip replacement surgery and has been transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute adjacent to the hospital. When he enters the unit, he sees welcoming signs written in several languages including his own, Creole. Since there are no nurses on that shift that speak Creole, they use a language line to ask for translation services. During this initial nursing assessment, the translator informs Mr. Jean-Baptiste that the nurses invite him to have a relative at his side so that they can be sure to understand and meet his needs. He is asked about Haitian customs and beliefs that they might honor. Mr. Jean-Baptiste is encouraged to bring food and spiritual care items, and to share the warmth of his culture with the nursing staff.

  • Discuss assumptions of the Transpersonal Caring relationship. What is the nurse’s role?
  • How is love, as defined by Watson, evident in this caring moment?
  • How can the nurse creatively use self to create a healing environment?
  • Discuss the strengths and limits to Watson’s Theory.

                                                        Main Discussion

  

The client is a 17-year-old white girl that was accompanied by her mother to the clinic. She has two older brothers in the university and they are all studying to be doctors. Her father is a doctor and her mother is a nurse in the community hospital. She self-reported that she has been feeling very anxious of late. For a duration of about 8 months, she has been very worried about school especially now that she is almost done with her high school. Her grades don’t look so good and she is worried that she might not be able to follow the family tradition of working as a doctor, something that her father wants for her. She also dreams about the same but it is the fact there is too much that is expected from her that worries her.

The client has been finding it hard to cope with the worrying and this has further affected her performance which makes the situation worse. Her father has been putting so much pressure on her and this is not helping. She has been restless and is always on edge. She is always irritable and this affects how she relates with her parents and colleagues at school. She has challenges when it comes to concentrating at school and at the end of the day, she feels more fatigued than ever. Her sleep has not been normal. She finds it hard to fall asleep and staying asleep about 2-3 nights in a week. These disturbances cannot be attributed to any other mental or psychiatric illnesses. According to the interview and the comprehensive assessment, it was concluded that this was a case of generalized anxiety disorder due to pressure from school and her performance (APA, 2013).

The approach that was selected for this client was cognitive behavioral therapy. This is one of the most effective empirical treatment for generalized anxiety disorder and it is also a proper alternative to pharmacological interventions. The mother to the client and the client agreed that it would be better to avoid drugs after they were educated about potential side effects. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also considered as a first-line intervention to generalized anxiety disorder (Hirsch et al., 2019). The other reason for using cognitive behavioral therapy with this client is because she was entertaining negative thoughts that led to uncontrolled worrying. Using CBT allows the client to be able to change how she deals with the reason for her excessive anxiety. After a few weeks of therapy and after involving her father in a few sessions, it became clear that she could start controlling her anxiety and she found the will to cope with pressure from school. She even reported that the sleep disturbance reduced significantly.

The role of her father in her education and performance may have serious impact on the expected outcomes. This is why her father was included in a few sessions. It was very clear from the initial meeting that she was not only worried about her performance but also about not being able to meet the expectations that her father has for her and her future career. Allowing them to discuss about the issue as a family encouraged the parents to also appreciate their contribution to her anxiety. They therefore agreed to give her more support instead of pressure. Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common mental disorders in children and adolescents. Detecting it early is important in order to ensure that the quality of life of the affected person is not significantly affected (Bhatia & Goyal, 2018). The role of parents in exacerbating the problem should also be considered, especially when it comes to school performance.
