Week 1 – Assignment: Create a Multiple-Choice, Scenario-Based Survey
For your assignment this week, you have been asked to create a survey to aid employees in understanding their personal ethical decision-making. Many organizations use surveys to gauge the quality of patient and employee satisfaction. This is not only a great opportunity to look at the principles just discussed but to also look at these from the perspective of a healthcare worker. The survey is to help provide your employees with a better understanding of why they might act in different ways in a clinical setting.
1.You will need to provide 10 different real-life scenarios with four multiple-choice answers. Provide a summary of how the scenario can help the employee better understand their ethical decision-making. Thus, your questions should look like the following:
Where you are asked to decide between purchasing two types of technology, what will be the basis of your decision?
a.
choose the technology that benefits everyone most equally
b.
choose the technology that will do the most good for the most people
c.
choose the technology that will do the least amount of harm
d.
choose the technology that will uphold the patient’s rights
2. Be sure to use various approaches for your employees to see a consistent decision-making process. Provide tangible examples for these decision-making approaches based on your readings and the lecture.
3. You may draw your examples from real case law or experiences.
4. Apply normative ethics, virtue-based, utilitarianism, and duty-based responses to the scenarios.
5. Provide an answer key. For example:
More “A” answers equate to a normative ethics approach.
