Assignment: Define an ethical dilemmaAssignment: Define an ethical dilemmaExplain the
statement, “What may be an ethical dilemma for one registered nurse may not be an ethical
dilemma for another registered nurse.” Be sure to define an ethical dilemma in the course of
your discussion. Describe a challenging situation in your nursing career that required you to
consider the ethical dimensions of the patient case and the role you played in providing
care. (Be sure to respect and maintain patient and colleague confidentiality.)Prompt 2Apply
the framework of The Five R’s approach to ethical nursing practice from this week’s reading
to answer the questions about values and choices.What are values?Q. What are your

3Finally, consider this: A common idea in health care is that if you are drawn to health care
as a profession, you are inherently guided by an inner compass that is composed of a strong
moral framework. Why is this a dangerous assumption?1 page for each promptORDER NOW
FOR ORIGINAL, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not
strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.
