Using the steps outlined in the decision-making models in your
readings, select one ethical decision-making model and use the model to analyze
the case provided.
Case Scenario:
A 6-year-old develops a high fever accompanied by violent
vomiting and convulsions while at school. The child is rushed to a nearby
hospital. The attending physician makes a diagnosis of meningitis and requests
permission to initiate treatment from the parents. The child’s parents are
divorced. The mother, who is not the biological parent of the child, has
primary custody. She is a Christian Scientist who insists that no medical
treatment be offered for religious reasons. The biological father, who resides
in another state, is also contacted. He insists that treatment be given and
seeks independent consultation from another physician.
Assignment:
In a formal, written paper of 800-1,200 words, answer the
following questions:
What is the ethical dilemma here? Describe the decision-making
model you selected from your readings. How would you resolve this dilemma using
the model? Include, at the end of your paper, a 200-word dialog in which you
explain your decision to the family. (Remember to use language that the family
would understand). A minimum of three references must be used.
