Task Two-write a paragraph of 600 words on your understanding
of the dilemma of providing information to carers while considering
the confidentiality concerns relating to the patient/client. This
600 word paragraph is to have 3 references. Dont forget to consider
the ethical implications in your consideration of the issues.
Task Two looks specifically at the rights of clients and in
more depth the rights of their carers in the process of treatment
and recovery. It raises some questions about how the nursing
profession views and deals with the rights of the carers and their
need for information particularly in the context of
patients/clients who may lack insight in their care needs.
Where are the carers in the healthcare law and ethics. It is
important to understand that while the holistic approach to health
care is preferred it is hard to balance the rights of all parties.
What is the nurses role in ensuring carers and patients/clients
have a say and that all opinions are respected. Sharing of
information is fundamental to this consideration. The carers play
an important role in providing information to health care
professionals but do they have any rights to be consider in the
decision making of care if there is no legal directive. The
patient/client has rights but do the carers have rights as well.
Further to this ethical theorie are often at the foundation of
nurses approach to care. Ethics of Care theory claims that moral
agents (carers clients health care professionals and institutions)
are not separate entities and that the application of universal
ethics is not in appropriate. This theory is based on consensus
ethics which incorporates the views of all involved in care
(Freegard & Isted 2012).
Most health care organisations have a patient charter or
similar document that is given to patients or clients in the care
of the organisation to explain their rights.
Find this document for your specialty area (perioperative
setting) and read it.
Consider who is it aimed at and does it include the rights of
the carers as well?
Is the organisational charter proscriptive in nature allowing
no room for flexibility based on ethical considerations
It would also be worth finding out if the health care
organisation has specific policies to cover the rights of
patients/clients and their carers.
Go to the organisations policies and procedures manual or web
page and find out what the relevant policies are.
Are there policy for each party or just a general policy that
is inclusive again is there flexibility in the policy
Jot down some answers to these points as they will assist you
in completing this assessment task.
Task Three- write a 550 word paragraph on your reflection
from the activity bellow. This paragraph is to have 3 references
including the reference bellow.
The activity: Read Brians story (the link bellow) and write a
reflection on how that has changed your perspective or given you
some insight into the meaning illness has for Brians wife as his
care.
This task gives you the opportunity to explore how the
various people we interact with in the health care environment make
meaning of their illness and of their situation. It also gives you
the opportunity to reflect on how you relate to that and to make
meaning of your own experiences.
When writing your reflection make sure you consider your own
perceptions morals and ethics.
