Making careful use of the readings from A Multi disciplinary Approach to Health Care Ethics,
, give thoughtful, well reasoned answers the following questions;. Be sure to answer each part of each question, bearing in mind that I am looking for accuracy in using class materials, application of class materials, and effective writing. Use chapter 1 in the book A Multi disciplinary Approach to Health Care Ethics by professor drew hinderer.

Question 1. Use chapter 1 to answer
Do health care workers have any moral or professional obligation to live their values? Amy Z
is a respiratory therapist who conducts smoking cessation clinics as a regular part of her
responsibilities. She is very knowledgeable and effective as a presenter, and many patients
have found her very helpful as they have tried to quit. Amy herself, however, is a moderate
smoker. And though she never smokes before a presentation or where patients might see her,
she often lights up on breaks and elsewhere on her own time. Is there anything unprofessional
or etJrically irresponsible about this? Or is there a sharp distinction between professional and
personal ethics? Explain, making reference to the discussion in the text.

Question 2 use chapter 2
You have been appointed to chair the hospital’s institutional ethics committee. How would you reply to each of the following observations? Be sure to explain why.
a. “Ultimately, ethics and religion are so intertwined that we really need to invite Father
Cuiatkowski, and Rabbi Bernstein, to lead the Committee.”
b. “Whatever else we do, we have to get the hospital legal counsel on the Committee. She
can keep us from getting into an ethical sink hole that might lead to law suits.”
c. “I’m not sure we really need an ethics committee. Health care professionals are caring professionals who should just trust their consciences

Question 3 use chapter 3
Jenna R. is a home care nurse visiting Mr. P, who is occasionally lucid, but usually a little
confused. Mr. P is mostly bedriIDen, but he is cared for by his wife, and sometimes by a 20
year old son, Ben, who appears to live at home. On several occasions, Jenna has smelled
marijuana smoke in the house. Jenna has asked Mrs. P to make sure there is no marijuana in
the house during her home care visits, but Mrs. P’s promises seem to have no effect. Today,
Jennaa entered through the kitchen and found Ben with several of his friends smoking and
packing marijuana into potato chip bags. Following the procedure given in Chapter 3,
determine what you think Jenna ought to do in this situation. Be sure to explain the basis of
your value priorities.
