For this assessment, develop a solution to a specific ethical dilemma faced by a health care professional. In your assessment:
Select one of the case studies presented in the Assessment 03 Supplement: Applying Ethical Principles [PDF] Download Assessment 03 Supplement: Applying Ethical Principles [PDF]resource.
Note: The case study may not supply all of the information you need. In such cases, you should consider a variety of possibilities and infer potential conclusions. However, please be sure to identify any assumptions or speculations you make.
Summarize the facts in the selected case study and use the three components of an ethical decision-making model to analyze an ethical problem or issue and the factors that contributed to it.
Identify which case study you selected and briefly summarize the facts surrounding it. Identify the problem or issue that presents an ethical dilemma or challenge and describe that dilemma or challenge.
Identify who is involved or affected by the ethical problem or issue.

Below is the transcript of the  Ethical Decision-Making Model media piece! 
Ethical decision-making at an individual level and one’s ethical behavior can be viewed in three primary steps using an ethical decision-making model.
First is one’s moral awareness, recognizing the existence of an ethical dilemma. This is the pathway to establishing the need for an ethical decision. This awareness is an individual sensitivity to one’s values and personal morals.
Once a personal awareness is evident, we can make a judgment in deciding what is right or wrong. This sounds simple, yet there are a number of variables driving this personal judgment. One variable is the individual differences and cognitive bias we all have based on our personal history and experiences. A second variable is the organization. This variable may be influenced from a group, organizational or cultural perspective. A code of conduct or standards of behavior may also influence our judgment.
This model, operating in a dynamic fashion, leads us to our ethical behavior; taking action to do the right thing. Is the right thing the same decision for everyone? Obviously not. We are all influenced my multiple factors in our decision-making.
This decision-making model can help us understand the pathway to our ethical decisions.

Using Epidemiological Principles and current data (no less than 5 years)
Describe the origin  of your infectious disease
Recent number of cases globally and in the United States. Considering the number of cases, risk of becoming infected, and potential for debilitation or death, do you believe this disease is being adequately researched and receiving the attention it deserves so more cases might be prevented?  Use evidence-based research to support your answer. 
Describe this disease/epidemiological issue using the epidemiological triangle (host, environment, and agent).
Who is at greatest risk for becoming infected? Why?
Describe how Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary measures apply to this disease/epidemiolocal issue. If either of the levels of prevention does not apply, you need to explain how it is not applicable. 
If you had an amazing opportunity to make recommendations to the CDC or World Health Organization regarding this disease, what would you recommend? Describe nursing advocacy in this section.
