HS405: Leadership and Ethics in Healthcare, writing homework help

In this unit, you will discuss two (2) healthcare issues facing healthcare administrators. In a 2-
page summary, you will identify the bioethical and political issues and discuss how you would
effectively and ethically handle the situations. You must address both of the following
scenarios. 

Scenario 1: You are the healthcare administrator of a nursing home. You are informed by your
Admissions Director that a new memory-impaired resident has been admitted into your longterm
care unit. The staff is concerned about the involvement of family with your resident. Family
members from out-of-town arrived and expressed concern about your resident’s do not
resuscitate (DNR) orders which were authorized by the Power of Attorney of another family
member. A quarrel erupts in the nursing home with family members voicing their opinions
loudly. You arrive on the scene and are immediately told by the visiting family member, “Do you
know who I am? I am a supervisor for the Department of Health and Human Services and will
not hesitate to have your facility surveyed for noncompliance.” What do you do? 

Scenario 2: You are the administrator of a for-profit healthcare clinic. The receptionist notifies
you that a 15-year-old has arrived needing prenatal care and does not want her parents to know
about her pregnancy. She is covered by her parent’s insurance and does not have enough
money to privately pay for the visit. What do you do?
