While theorizing can be a good opportunity to conjecture about ideas, including possible real-life implementations of policy, doctrine, or hypotheses, when theory is used to inform action, there exists the possibility of transgressing ethical boundaries. Often, a good idea in theory can result in negative effects that are unforeseen in theoretical models. Nevertheless, there are scholars and practitioners alike who would brave questionable ethical grounds in order to further the discipline and possibly increase their ability to help people in the long run.
In your initial post, explain the ethical dilemma you chose. Then select an ethical theory from your reading. Answer the following questions:
· How could theory have been applied in your ethical dilemma?
· Would the outcome have been different if you did apply the theory? Explain your answer.
· How will you use this theory in your future APRN Practice?
One of the ethical dilemma I face as an ICU nurse/ witness are family members going against patients wishes. Family members want to continue treatment even when its not in the patients best interest/ prognosis of patient isa poor, based on the healthcare team.
Please apply Freire’s theory of human liberation and a minimum of 2 references, the book can be one if you use the readings attached below.
If you have any questions please reach out to me!! I have attached a picture of the book and Freirs theory. Thank you!
