POST 1

first response of my classmate In my opinion, it is an ethical question for whether or not the nursing students should get a flu vaccine. Nurses are responsible to take full care of their patients, with this being said it is crucial that they take this flu shot in order to take care of patients who are immuncomprised. A part of of being a nurse is making sacrifices and I believe that getting a flu shot is one. In this case, the consequence oriented theory applies very well. It states, that choices should be made in regards to what the best outcome is for the patients.

POST 2

last responseEthics Issue: In this instance I believe that both employees acted in an ethical manner. Both employees looked at the paper with enough focus to recognize what it was, and both made the decision to protect the information. The given information states that Curtis did not stop to look at it because it didn’t occur to him and clearly this was incorrect because he noticed what the paper was, and what information it contained. He still made the correct decision to contact Valerie and convey his concern. Martha, on the other hand, is Valerie’s administrative assistant so it is often her job to help with various paperwork. She also noticed the paper enough to recognize what information it contained and took it upon herself to protect said information by closing and locking the door. Both employees showed ethical integrity.

Answer the Ethics Issue and Case Study and respond to two other students' responses (that is, you should write a total of 4 times - once for your own ethics response, once for your own case study response, a response to another student's ethics or case study response, and a response to another student's case study or ethics response). Ethics Issue: Martha is the administrative assistant to Valerie, the practice manager in a five-physician practice. Salaries of staff are confidential. Since payroll is handled by an outside company, only the practice manager has knowledge of who makes what salary. Valerie has gone to lunch and left her door open. Several people have been in and out of Valerie's office dropping off reports or other information. Martha goes in the office to place a report on Valerie's desk and notices that a budget worksheet, listing all staff salaries, is in clear view. It would be easy to take a quick look, especially since Martha believes she is paid less than other employees with fewer responsibilities. Martha backs out of the office and locks Valerie's door without looking at the sheet. She thinks to herself, If I should not know what everyone else is being paid, then no one else should either. Curtis is one of the employees who had left information on Valerie's desk before Martha closed the door. He also sees the budget sheet, but does not stop to look at it. It did not occur to him to look at it, although it would have been great to know that he was being paid more than other employees. He puts his file down on Valerie's desk and thinks to himself, I will warn Valerie that she needs to be more careful about what she leaves on her desk for anyone to see. According to virtue ethics, who is more ethical - Martha, the one tempted to look but doesn't, or Curtis, who isn't even tempted to look? Defend your answer. Case Study: Susan is a nursing student, arguing with her friend Linda, also a nursing student, over the benefits of getting a flu shot. "I'm not getting a flu shot this year," Linda declares. "I paid $14 for one last year, and I still got sick. I had a horrible sinus infection that kept me out of school for days." "I remember, but that wasn't the flu," Susan argues. "Since we see so many people in the clinic especially older people with weakened immune systems - don't you think we, of all people, should be immunized against the flu?" The argument continues at length, with Linda finally raising her voice and stomping off. 1. In your opinion, is the question of whether or not the nursing students should get a flu vaccine an ethical question? Explain your answer. 2. If you decide that this is an ethical question, which theory of moral reasoning best applies?

ETHICS ISSUE AND CASE RESPONSE

Ethics Issue
Both acted ethically
According to virtue ethics, it would be reckless to determine the virtual ethics of these two based
on this one's single occasion. Even if we were to base our judgment on this one single scenario, it
would end up that both Martha and Curtis acted ethicall...
