Week 7 DQ#2- Dorsey
Caregiving is an often understated and underrepresented area for discussion. Erica and Theresa fond that many people they met within their focus groups and discussions indicated that caregivers were often unsung heroes. A couple of cases worth noting included Nora and Susan.
Susan: Susan is a 57-year-old woman who has sustained a work-related injury that has impacted her knees and mobility. In addition to her own mobility impairment, she lives with her older parents, Irma and Gus. Gus was diagnosed with early stages of Alzheimer’s disease about 10 years ago, and this has progressed to the point where he is mobility impaired and needs constant supervision. Irma is a brittle diabetic and cannot handle the care needs of her husband, and relies mostly on Susan for help. They lived on a farm, but now have moved to a metropolitan area with their daughter Susan. They have five other adult children. Despite the other siblings in the family, Susan was resigned to looking after her father following her work injury and limitations to her mobility. Erica and Theresa were interested in how Susan’s caregiving role was impacted and how community resources and supports help the family unit.
Nora: Nora is both a caregiver to her 87-year-old father and disabled due to an orthopedic injury while riding a bicycle. Her recent knee replacement surgery has left her with less mobility in her right knee than prior to her surgery. Caregiver to her father leaves her with limited emotional resources at the end of a day. Nora’s father is legally blind suffers from Crone’s disease and has had a series of mini strokes. They live together in the three-bedroom family home and receive in home services to support Nora in her caregiving role. Nora’s father also attends a day program 3 days per week. Nora’s mother passed away 10 years ago, and she also helps in the caregiving role for her two grandsons. Nora’s father was emotionally distant to her while growing up and she is an only child. Erica and Theresa were curious to learn how Nora’s caregiving role would be impacted by the fractured relationship she had with her father.
Consider the issues for Susan and Nora in the case studies above. What resources would be important to them in their journeys as caregivers?

REQUIREMENTS:
ETHICAL ISSUE BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS
Prof. West
PURPOSE
This written assignment intends to provide practical experience in policymaking from an ethical standpoint. It is due on or before __________ (midnight US Eastern time), and must be submitted via Blackboard.
This assignment requires use of the standard format for a policy memorandum. The format is designed to help high-level executives make a good decision about an issue under extreme information and time constraints. In this case, the course instructor will be playing the role of executives; you will provide the briefing in written form.
The policy memo type is the decision-making memorandum, which can be used for problem identification and agenda setting, policy formulation, or policy implementation decisions.
FORMAT
The first and perhaps most important rule is that the memorandum in its entirety cannot exceed 3 pages. You should use standard 1-inch margin settings (left, right, top, bottom). The font should be Arial 11. Use single-spacing within paragraphs, and a double space between paragraphs. The footer of the page should include page numbers. (This instruction document follows these formatting conventions.) Since this is not a formal research paper, only brief in-text references with source and date are required, such as “(Centers for Disease Control, 2013) or “(New York Times, 3 January 2014)” Use quotation marks if it is necessary to use a direct quote, but in general a lot of quoted excerpts aren’t appropriate for this brief format.
TOPICS
Since this is a class in Public Administration ethics, your topic should relate to an ethical issuerequiring government action. Check with the instructor if you are unsure about the suitability of a topic. You have only 3 pages here, so don’t pick too big a topic.
While the policy memorandum is typically focused on an executive decision, you can also discuss topics for legislative action, where the executive would take the lead in trying to set the agenda for legislators.
SECTIONS
A decision-making memorandum has 5 standard sections, and your memo should as well. (Note that the 5th is merely a set of checkboxes.) The sample is on the next page.
Sample:
ETHICAL POLICY MEMORANDUM
FOR: West (maybe President West, Governor West, Mayor West, Director West)
FROM: [your name] (don’t forget to put this!)
DATE: March 15, 2016
SUBJECT: [your topic]
1. Action-Forcing Event
Specify the nature of the situation, issue, or problem requiring or suggesting action and the degree of flexibility associated with it (e.g., whether immediate action is needed). Be sure to address the inherent ethical issue.
2. Background/Analysis
Outline the current status and relevant history of the action-forcing event. Provide a succinct assessment of essential information about the key issues, principal actors, and primary constituencies (stakeholders) affected by the action-forcing event so that an informed, well-justified, and persuasive decision can be made.
The action-forcing event can sometimes be summarized in a sentence or two, but the background/analysis section can be anywhere from paragraphs to pages long. Ideally this section presents enough evidence that it is conceivable to build a consensus among key stakeholders on a particular action.
3. Policy Option(s)
Summarize options stating the advantages and disadvantages of each possible proposal. If there is only one recommended option, then this section is not necessary and the Recommendations section alone will suffice. Each option should spell out the pros and cons (unless that is provided in the Recommendation section), and should address the corresponding ethical ramifications.
4. Recommendation(s)
Indicate a single recommendation or list options. Identify and summarize the most important benefits and costs of each option, if this was not done in the prior section. Identify likely support, opposition and criticisms of each option from various stakeholders. Explain why your recommendation is the most ethical approach.
