Psych Case Study; Explain the potential ethical issues in the situation.

/in /by

Prepare a 4 page response to a colleague in which you explain ethical issues, analyze the professional implications of an ethical dilemma, and recommend an evidence-based course of action.
CASE STUDY:
 
A colleague, Dr. Rowe, has asked you to assist her with a situation. A physician, with whom she often works, referred a hospitalized patient to her for consultation. The patient is terminally ill, with a month to live at best. He is in considerable pain and on morphine, which makes him sleep most of the time. When he is awake, he suffers terribly. He is completely bedridden, needing assistance even to turn over. He has dialysis treatments three times a week. The patient has said he wants all life-saving procedures possible, but the doctor and the patient’s family feel he has suffered enough and would like to remove him from dialysis. Dr. Rowe, a health psychologist, agrees that this would be a reasonable and ethical course of action. According to Dr. Rowe, the physician explained that if the patient has no more dialysis treatments, he will fall asleep and die peacefully in a day or two. The lack of dialysis will not lead to more pain or discomfort than he is already experiencing. Dr. Rowe was asked to evaluate the patient for competency to make his own decisions. The physician does not believe he can really understand his situation and wants Dr. Rowe to talk the patient into stopping dialysis. After interviewing the patient, Dr. Rowe found he has a clear understanding of his condition, his impending death, and the implications of stopping dialysis. In spite of all this, he made it clear that he wants all measures to sustain life continued.
INSTRUCTIONS:
 
Read the case study carefully, and then review the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct linked in the Required Resources section. You will also need to locate at least three scholarly resources associated with ethics to support your work in this assessment.
Each case study is presented within the context of a colleague faced with an ethical dilemma and reaching out to you for professional advice. You will still need to format this assessment according to APA guidelines, since it is the writing style of the profession. Please include the case study you have chosen on the title page; for example,  General Psychology: Health.
Required resources:  MUST USE THE APA RESOURCE AND 3 ADDITIONAL FROM BELOW

 

Requirements

Prior to beginning this discussion, please read and view the following required sources:

  • “Flexible Retrieval: When True Inferences Produce False Memories”
  • “Memory Suppression in Alzheimer’s Disease”
  • “Mnemonic Instruction in Science and Social Studies for Students with Learning Problems: A Review”
  • “Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory Are Still Different”
  • “The Development of Real-Time Stability Supports Visual Working Memory Performance: Young Children’s Feature Binding Can Be Improved Through Perceptual Structure”
  • Memory

In your initial post, you will apply what you learned from each of the five articles, but you will discuss the findings and implications for just one of these articles. The articles are assigned based on the first letter of your last name. Please see the list below to determine which of the articles you will focus on for your initial post based on the first letter of your last name:

  • A through E: “Flexible Retrieval: When True Inferences Produce False Memories”
  • F through J: “Memory Suppression in Alzheimer’s Disease”
  • K through O: “Mnemonic Instruction in Science and Social Studies for Students with Learning Problems: A Review”
  • P through T: “Short-Term Memory and Long-Term Memory Are Still Different”
  • U through Z: “The Development of Real-Time Stability Supports Visual Working Memory Performance: Young Children’s Feature Binding Can Be Improved Through Perceptual Structure”

In your initial post,

  • Explain the empirical research presented in your assigned article, applying appropriate citations and references.
  • Describe, in your own words, how the research relates to your own experiences as well as how this area of psychology may have affected your past or current beliefs about memory development. Do the research findings refute or support your current beliefs, and in what ways? Are there variables about memory of which you were unaware based on your article?
  • Apply skeptical inquiry to the potential problems that might arise from research in the area of memory, and relate it to the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct.
  • Provide a rationale for whether or not this premise is valid and/or appropriate based on the findings reported by the assigned articles.

It is recommended that you research articles in the Ashford University Library to support your assertions if the required articles do not provide sufficient information. Your initial post should be at least 500 words in length.

Quality in Healthcare at the National Level
Quality is a serious initiative in healthcare at the national level. Hospitals, providers, insurance companies, and government-sponsored agencies are now faced with meeting quality initiatives. Compliance with these initiatives means more revenue and better patient quality and provider care.
Select any area in your city, community, county, or region, and assume the patient in this week’s case study is in this area. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research and answer the following:
• Does your community have the required medical resources to handle the patient’s problem?
• How would the patient’s care be handled in your community? Identify the nearest hospital to the area you have chosen that treats the problem. Trace the patient’s course to this hospital.
• List the healthcare professionals and facilities that would be encountered on the way.
• Compare any two insurance plans and choose the one that would offer the most to the patient.
• Discuss the essential quality-of-care issues involved in this case. What is the role of Telemedicine in your community and how do you access it? How does it affect the quality of care?
