Ethical and Policy Factors in Care Coordination
• PRINT
• Select a community organization or group that you feel would be interested in learning about ethical and policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Then, develop and record a 10-12-slide, 20-minute presentation, with audio, intended for that audience. Create a detailed narrative script or speakers notes for your presentation, 4-5 pages in length.
Introduction
As coordinators of care, nurses must be aware of the code of ethics for nurses and health policy issues that affect the coordination of care within the context of the community. To help patients navigate the continuum of care, nurses must be proficient at interpreting and applying the code of ethics for nurses and health policy, specifically, the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Being knowledgeable about ethical and policy issues helps ensure that care coordinators are upholding ethical standards and navigating policy issues that affect patient care.
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to develop a presentation for a local community organization of your choice, which provides an overview of ethical standards and relevant policy issues that affect the coordination of care. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of ethical issues and policies related to the coordination and continuum of care, and will empower you to be a stronger advocate and nursing professional.
• Choose the community organization or support group that you plan to address.
• Develop a PowerPoint with typed speaker notes (the script for your voice recording) and audio voice-over recording, intended for that audience.

In this case study, you will analyze a testing scenario using your knowledge of testing and ethics.
Part A: Review the Case
A college counselor for a large university helps students select careers matched to their personalities. She uses computer-administered personality tests as the primary source of information. The counselor uses the assessment with all students who seek counseling. Qualitative interviews are not part of the assessment process.
Part B: Case Analysis
- Describe your immediate reaction to the scenario. What are the details you immediately noticed? What questions did the scenario raise about testing?
- Identify and explain 3 factors that impact performance on objective tests.

Ethical Issues Surrounding Death
When is a person dead? How do we define death? Do people have a right to die? This issue becomes convoluted when attempting to revive a person or artificially sustain them. Death is, legally speaking, an irreversible state involving no response to stimulation, no movement or breathing, no reflexes, and no sign of brain activity. A living will states a person’s wishes about being kept on life support, attempts for revival, medication, feeding, and more, in case they cannot speak for themselves.
Mercy killing is the common term for euthanasia. Euthanasia is when someone is provided assistance that helps them die. It’s a dilemma because if someone provides assistance, they are both killing a person and providing mercy. Supporters of active euthanasia argue that there are some conditions so painful that a person should have the right to a doctor-assisted, speedier death. People who oppose this worry about the possibility that people could be killed prematurely, or that family members will encourage assisted death to avoid medical bills.

You don’t have to watch the videos to consider this question. Are there circumstances that warrant Euthanasia? Does the patient have to request it or does his or her family have to request it?
