...Applying Ethics in Practice Ieesha Dixson BSHS335 05/20/2013 Teresa Levesque Applying Ethics in Practice A situation that I might find myself, as a human service professional, where my personal values could become an ethical issue would be if someone began to bash the LGBT community or saying anything negative regarding the “lifestyle”. As a person that is a part of this community I would be offended. I would try to defend my community to the best of my ability because it is hard enough being a part of this lifestyle and to have people keep criticizing our lives is not fair. Not to mention the whole marriage issue that is happening around us. Another personal value that could become an ethical issue is homelessness, as a person that has been homeless I know how it feels to not know where you would sleep at night and if I sleep in my car would I be safe. There are a number of young people that are becoming homeless and something needs to be done to figure out why the youth of today are becoming homeless. As of April of 2013 I have been able to obtain my low income apartment for a year and I am proud of myself because I put my all into getting a place to stay that I feel comfortable in and not have to worry. This is one of those situations where a person would have to start with the base problems to obtain their major goal. It is hard and it takes a lot of work to stay motivated. This could become an issue because if I was to hear someone down grade another person...

...BSHS/335 I chose case study 14. Tavion was brought to the Methodist Hospital by his father for a broken arm. Taviaons father was reluctant to leave his side. When asked what happened to his son the father replied that he had fallen from the jungle gym at the playground. When the nurses took Tavion to do his x-rays they did not allow his father to come. They then questioned the boy about his injury and his response matched his fathers. However the boys injuries were clean and the story seemed false. When asked if he was scared of getting hurt at home his answer was no. Before leaving the hospital Tavions father requested that the medical records are released to no one, unless he was contacted. The following weekend Tavions mother, who is divorced, requested a copy of the hospital records because she suspected abuse. I do believe that Tavions mother has a right to the hospital records of her son, especially if she believes her son is being abused by his father. This does give the hospital the right to investigate further. Tavions mother knows the father of her son more than the hospital staff and if she has concerns it should be looked into. There are other departments that Tavions mother can go to for help if she suspects that her son is being physically abused. Such as the hospital, department of children and families and the police. They can further investigate the situation. The police could even talk to the child...

...Fortune, the saying goes, favors the bold. Were that truly the case, the Tucker Model 48 would have been an uncontested success for Tucker Corporation and Preston Thomas Tucker, the visionary jack-of-all-trades inventor behind its creation. Instead, just as production of one of the 20th century’s most innovative automobiles was about to start, the government (as some believe, pressured by Detroit’s Big Three automakers) stepped in and effectively shut Tucker down. Preston Tucker was not an automotive engineer by trade, though few would argue that he possessed the ability to comprehend and advise on technical matters. With a background that included everything from automotive sales through race car and even armored car design (with partner Harry Miller), it was almost inevitable that Tucker would someday turn his attention towards constructing a production automobile that carried his own name. As originally envisioned by Tucker, the Tucker Model 48 (named for its debut year of 1948) featured some truly groundbreaking designs. Alex Tremulis George Lawson penned the streamlined coupe bodywork, featuring the driver in a central position instead of offset to the left (a design that would much later be embraced by McLaren on its F1 supercar). Located in the rear of the car, the proposed 589-cu.in. aluminum flat-six engine was so under-stressed that an overhaul would not be required for the first 180,000 miles. Tucker’s original design lacked a conventional transmission, too, and in...

...Applying Ethics In Practice Lonneka Sharp BSHS/335 October 27, 2015 Stephanie Chupein Ethics In Practice As a human service professional if I was to ever be in a situation, where my personal values became ethical issues. I would be distraught, because nobody would want their personal values or issues out in the open for the public to know. For example when I and my client / patient discuss about personal issues or values and my client/ patients takes your personal information and exposes you to everyone and to the public. But even people you can trust do these things as well. For example, when I had gotten into an argument with one of my family members, she took upon herself to expose true and false allegations about me to our family and her friends. I was hurt by it because what I do or who I talk to is nobody business but the ones I tell my personal issues or business too. On the other hand the ethical model and code of ethics I would use to resolve the issue is the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) of the responsibility to provider. If I am the provider I have to be responsible of not trusting my clients with any of my personal values and life issues. Because my client might have a mental breakdown which might cause him or her to outrage she or he might or try to kill me and my family. So I would protect myself by not exposing my personals out to any of my clients. Now today people are being killed over what he or she say about that person...

...BSHS/335 Tracy Mallett January 21, 2015 Ethical Standards A Therapist Quandary When you look at the case of the husband who started individual counseling then his wife joined with the intentions of saving their marriage there are many ethical issues that could arise for the therapist. First there is the issue of the secret the husband is hiding about his latest affair, because the counselor did not clearly state her policy on keeping secrets the husband has an expectation of her keeping his secret about his affair. The therapist cannot tell the wife without breaking the confidentiality of the husband, however how can she continue to treat them as a couple if she has to hold this information from the wife when part of the condition for the wife to work on fixing their marriage is based on no further affairs from her husband? The therapist also believes that having an affair interferes with her ability to help the couple and on a personal ethical level she thinks it is wrong, however she must keep her personal feelings out of her sessions with the couple. Either she must continue to treat the couple or refer them to someone else, if she chooses to refer them to someone else she is faced with either telling the wife why or lying to her, either way she would be going against the ethical standards that she has to uphold. According to the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (2001) “Marriage and family therapists have unique confidentiality concerns...

...BSHS/335 The family of Woodstock was founded because of the Woodstock Festival that took place in a city 115 miles away. Many people liked the idea of being on their own and living care free. Many young people were sleeping in the parks and roaming around. Many of these people brought very little with them and were looking for food, and shelter. Community people came together and Gail Varsi offered her telephone service and also her home to prevent problems with the people roaming the area and to keep them from being arrested. This was the start of the Family Of Woodstock. Now many volunteers and staff work to answer the phone lines and offer their help. The agency was built to help people. The founder’s committed that the staff would not tell people what to do and pass any judgments on them. Instead they would listen and encourage them to make choices that would benefit them. The staffs’ goal was to refer people to existing agencies, but was also able to fill the gaps when needed. Family of Woodstock has become a lead agency in Ulster and the surrounding areas of homelessness, domestic violence, emergency services, child services, and adolescent services. The Family of Woodstock has met the specialized the needs of the community. They provide many shelters and food programs. Such as Family House, a 14-bed runaway and homeless youth facility; the Darmstadt Shelter for the Homeless, a 19-bed shelter for men and women, primarily in recovery; the Family Inn, a 27-bed shelter...

...Maintaining Ethical Standards BSHS 335 Stephanie Munro March 10, 2014 Maintaining Ethical Standards Ludwig is a counselor who is trained and educated within individual counseling as opposed to family counseling. After working with Ella for some time, Ludwig realizes that Ella would benefit from family counseling sessions. Ludwig would like to refer Ella to someone who is capable of doing family counseling, but is worried that Ella might feel as though he is abandoning her. Therefore he decides not to refer her and continues to just help her on an individual basis. As the caseworker, there are multiple ethical issues that I might be confronted with in this issue. The first ethical issue that I face is not referring Ella to the person who will be able to give her the proper care. It is my job as the caseworker to help my client to understand the issues involved within their individual life. If there is something that I cannot do, then it is my duty to explain to the client what needs to happen and why they will benefit from it. Another ethical issue that I might have to face is not being able to fully help the client due to missing information that could be brought up within family counseling. All I know is that most of Ella’s issues are influenced by her family; I cannot make accurate decisions because I do not have everyone’s side involved. If I simply referred Ella, then the appropriate caseworker would be able to understand all perspectives and help formulate a...

...Decision Making Models Traci Borden BSHS/335 ETHICS & VALUES IN THE HS PROFESSION 4/23/2014 Teela Carmack Decision Making Models In the Human Service Profession, a human service worker will be faced with challenging ethical dilemmas in which where one’s personal ethical values and beliefs will challenged with the ACA Code of Ethics. When a situation like this arises, it is vital for the worker to remember to engage in careful consideration when regarding an ethical decision that needs to be met and that is when the worker will look upon the types of decision making models. The paragraphs below will briefly explain three important decision making models in which will help the Human Service make the right ethical decision for the client in which they are serving. The Feminist Model is based on the principal that power should be equal in the therapeutic relationship and calls for the clients maximum involvement at every stage of their process. Women want to be seen as equal to men when it comes to salaries and the way society views women based on their beliefs and values and their contribution to society. This certain model is gender based considering the majority of clients seeking help from the human profession worker are mostly women. The next decision making model is the Social Constructionist model. This particular model redefines the ethical decision making process as an interactive/social process rather than an individual one. The primary focus is on...

...Case Study Review BSHS/335 The case study number I have chosen is 14. Tavion’s father brought him to the Methodist Hospital for a broken arm and he was reluctant to leave son’s side. Tavion’s father said that Tavion has fallen from the jungle gym in the playground and broken his arm. During X-ray, nurses didn’t allow his father inside and asked him about the fall and his statement matched his father’s but the injuries were clean and proved the statement wrong. He was asked if he is scared of getting beaten at home, his answer was negative. Before leaving the hospital Tavion’s father requested to not release the medical reports to anyone, and just the next week his mother who is divorced asked for the report. To my belief, she deserves to get the report especially if she thinks that Tavion’s father abuses him and this gives the hospital authority right to investigate further. Tavion’s mother knows the father of her son better than the hospital authority and the reports should be looked into if she has concerns. If she believes that Tavion’s father abuses him, she can go to certain departments to ask for help; such as the hospital, department of children and families and the police for further investigation. Police even has the legal right to talk to the child alone for clarifications. Some internal and external impacts are here, which are – father doesn’t want the reports to be released while the mother wants them, and the story doesn’t seem...

...Case Study Review Rebekah Gardner BSHS 335 November 04, 2015 Stephanie Chupein Case Study Review A father arrives at the Methodist Hospital with his six-year-old son Tavion Robinson. Tavion is suffering from a broken arm and abrasions. Tavion’s father advises the hospital that Tavion fell from the jungle gym at the park. Tavion’s father displays reluctance to Tavion being left alone with hospital staff. Emergency room staff suspects that Tavion’s injuries did not happen as his father reported because the abrasions were too clean. Tavion’s abrasions would not have been so clean if brought in immediately after his fall from the jungle gym. While Tavion was undergoing his x-ray, the staff did not allow Tavion’s father in the room, and they were able to question Tavion about his injuries. Tavion verified his father’s story and consistently denied and abuse or fear of his father. Before leaving the hospital, Tavion’s father advises the staff to make note that he should be notified before the release of Tavion’s records to anyone. Tavion’s father advises that Tavion’s parents are divorced and that Tavion’s mother is the noncustodial parent. Tavion’s father requests that Tavion’s records not be released to his mother without his father’s consent. The following weekend Tavion’s mother made a request to the Health Information Department for Tavion’s medical records. Tavion’s mother advises the department that she feels that Tavion’s father is abusing him, and she wanted...

...Approaches to Ethical Dilemmas Chad Culhane BSHS 335 November 17, 2014 Erick Shear Approaches to Ethical Dilemmas The human service field encompasses a variety of societal issues, where the professionals are educated and trained to treat their clients with respect. They conduct their work according to the ethical standards suited for their accompanying agency, which is necessary due to the sensitive nature of social work. The majority of the cases social workers handle stem from individuals who have trouble caring for themselves and or the loved ones around them, so they seek assistance to deal with the specific issues they face. Going forward, we will examine the case of Shandra, a senior in her final semester of the Health Information Management (HIM) program. She has accepted a position as part of her Professional Practice Experience at St. James Medical Center in the HIM department, where her fiancé is the Assistant Director of Respiratory Therapy at the same hospital. The conflict of interest this situation imposes on the professionals is the first red flag of this case study. We later learn that there was a rumor going around the medical center that the Director of Respiratory Therapy had developed a malignant condition in the brain. Shandra’s fiancé is next in line for this position so she took it upon herself to pull up the director’s health chart and found out that the rumors were true, a blatant violation of the ethical standards set by the American...
