The Moral Distress article discusses conflicts and ethical dilemmas that are facing nurses in their daily practice. Examples of these issues include: (1) carrying out a physician’s order for unnecessary tests and treatments; (2) allowing medical students to perform painful procedures on patients solely to increase their skills; and (3) not being able to offer treatment because the costs will not be covered by the insurance company. Are these issues that can be explained in the law?

In order to help resolve these conflicts and deal with ethical dilemmas, nurses need to be equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and resources. It is the responsibility of a nurse leader to orient his/her team to these resources and to empower nurses in making the right decision. Relate your personal response in answering these qestions, and relate your responses to the results in the research article.

1) Describe the most recent ethical dilemma that has occurred in your practice. Please do not use names.

2) Identify the resources available to RNs experiencing an ethical dilemma in clinical practice. What resources are available to the RNs?

3) What institutional barriers prevent RNs from using the resources noted above? What systems encourage the use of these resources?

4) Provide suggestions, ideas and comments related to ethical practice and specific to this institution.

5) Should the law have clarified how to deal with these issues?
