Paper details
First, begin by familiarizing yourself with the following article:
- Scher, S. & Kozlowska, K. (2018) Rethinking health care ethics[Internet]. Singapore: Palgrave Pivot. Chapter 6, Ethics and the Self. Retrieved from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK543562/pdf/Bookshelf_NBK543562.pdf
Explore your moral compass and its relation to ethical standards and legal requirements in the field. Specifically, answer the following questions:
- What is the difference among morality, ethics, and the law? Provide an original example of each.
- Describe an instance whereby a decision may be considered morally unethical (i.e. a situation may be ethical, but not moral).
- Why is it important for you, as a healthcare leader, to understand the differences among these?
- How can you take this discussion topic and apply it in the real world?
