Prompt 1
Values play a huge role in the actions of healthcare practitioners in their line of duty. In some cases, nurses experience conflicts between their values during their health promotion practices and the values of their clients. In this case, there is a need to make an informed decision on what will be in the best interest of the client, while also ensuring that they do not digress from the set values. A healthcare practitioner’s values might be for the best interest of the client’s health, and if following the values of the client will risk life, the practitioner should stick to their set values and thus reinforce my beliefs in the view of good nursing practices (Stacey et al., 2011) . Conversely, if the health promotion values in any way risk the life of patients or their health, it would be essential to look into the client’s values. In a case where both values are viable and are in the best interest of the client, healthcare practitioners will try to find common ground by negotiating with the client.
Prompt 2
One of the ethical issues I have encountered recently when teaching health promotion strategies to a patient is a patient’s unwillingness to listen to the information that I was communicating as they felt that they were not obliged to listen as they did not deem the information vital. The information is vital for the health of these patients, but some of the patients would speak among themselves instead of listening and gaining vital information on how they can work on promoting their health (Stewad et al., 2017). To help resolve this, I used an ethical decision-making process, which began by explaining the problem and the issue of failure to listen to the patients. Information was gathered on the adverse effects of not listening to this information, and how the information is vital to the patients through brainstorming. We all came up with the decision that the information is essential to each patient (Nora et al., 2016). Implementation was considered, and the patients in question were willing to change for the better.
