Situation
On 13th July 2016, Ms. Jane visited a healthcare facility for treatment. She was about 84-years of
age with a palpable breast mass. The doctor recommended that she undergo a Biopsy test at the
laboratory. After she was tested, results revealed that Ms. Jane had breast cancer.
Ethical Issue
The ethical issue in this situation is about informed consent. It is worth noting that the ethical
principle that underlies the concept of informed consent is respect for patient autonomy (LeinoKilpi, 2000, p. 80).
Ethical questions
In this situation, the ethical question is whether Ms. Jane, an old woman of 82 years is able to
make an informed decision of whether to undergo a surgical operation or not.
Disputation
In this situation, there are two extreme possible outcomes.
Best solution
The best solution to this situation is for Ms. Jane not to sign the consent form and when the
attendant to the surgeon comes to pick the form, she politely informs him that she need some
knowledge or consent about the surgical operation.
Limitation of this Solution
However, this solution is limited because it depends on various actors and variables. For
example, this solution will only be possible if the surgeon is willing to correctively provide
consent of information to Jane.
Worst Solution
The worst course of action that Ms. Jane take is to ignorantly sign the consent form believing
that there is that chance to sue the surgeon if the outcome turns out to be adverse.
Limitation of this solution
Some scholars may argue that this is a good solution since the doctor (an informed actor) advised
Ms. Jane to see a surgeon (also informed actor) who decided that a surgery is necessary, then
there is no need for a consent of information.
Second Worst Solution
The second worst solution is when Ms. jane fail to sign the consent form and leave the healthcare
facility on grounds that she is has not enough consent information about her situation.
Third worst Solution

Ethical issue
The third worst solution is when Ms. Jane chooses to sign the consent form indecisively because
of her desperation for cure.
Part 3
Therefore, it is worth noting that even though there are four possible solutions to this problem,
the best solution is for Ms. Jane not to sign the consent form and when the attendant to the
surgeon comes to pick the form, she politely informs him that she need some knowledge or
consent about the surgical operation
Part 4
In future
In conclusion, I recommend that surgeons and other medical practitioners should be emphasized
on providing consent of information to patients before treatment so that patients are able to make
informed decisions. This will ensure that in future, cases related to Ms. Jane’ do not occur and
when they occur, they are easily resolved.
