You are part of the interprofessional care team that works with the autistic population in a charter school setting. Your program has been highly sought out by parents of children with autism and other developmental disorders, so much so that currently 10 students are on the wait list. The team receives a referral for a new child to be transferred into the program. The child is placed on the wait list, but the administration communicates a request to the team to see whether there is “anyway they can accept the child now since he is the grandson of one of the school’s employees.” The team is split on what recommendation they should give. They deeply regard and respect the child’s grandmother but also know that several students are ahead of this child on the wait list and are likely just as deserving. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A. Should the team approve the acceptance? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â B. Defend why or why not, drawing on the duties, rights, and role issues discussed in your study of ethics so far.
Eudora Cathay has been a unit clerk at the same for-profit privately owned hospital in an affluent, largely white suburb for 2Â years. The position of unit clerk is a demanding one that involves answering the phone, relaying messages, coordinating laboratory personnel in their rounds, responding to physicians’ and nurses’ requests, and making sure that patients are in the right places at the right times. Eudora’s professional dress style is informed by her African heritage. Some members of the staff, particularly physicians and administrators, are displeased by her style of dress. Others find it attractive and an interesting change from the wall-to-wall white uniforms worn by the professional staff everywhere in the hospital. The dress policy does not require unit clerks to wear a uniform and stipulates only that they be neat and well groomed (which she is) and dressed appropriately. Someone in an administrative position asks Eudora to dress more conservatively. She refuses on the grounds that she is neat and well-groomed and any further demands are an invasion of her personal rights. She is fired for her refusal to comply amidst rampant rumors of racism. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A. Discuss her situation in light of good organizational policy. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â B. Should there be a dress code? Is there anything ethically relevant about how employees dress? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C. Why or why not?
