521 Week 6 Organizational Ethics Discussion

This week, you will submit a video presentation. Your presentation must include both audio and visual components and be professional in nature.

You will submit your final presentation here for grading, and you will submit it to the discussion board this week as a draft for your peers to review and as a final product to share. See the discussion board for details

1. Choose a topic below.

· Taken from the assigned reading in Butts chapter 12, page 401, “Ethical Reflection: Typical Unethical or Illegal Behaviors in Organizations”

2. Create a presentation of 10-15 slides or screens excluding the title and references.

· Your slides/screen should include titles, main ideas, bullet points, and relevant images, charts, graphs, etc.

3. In your presentation:

· Describe an ethical situation, based on the chosen topic, that can get in the nurse’s way of practicing ethically. Describe the situation clearly and concisely.

· Identify how this situation relates to one provision within the Code of Ethics for Nurses.

· Identify two ethical principles that may arise when facing this situation.

· Discuss how a nurse might lessen the impact of the situation on the nurse’s practice.

· In addition to the course texts, cite and reference a minimum of two (2) additional scholarly sources to support your work.

· Close with a summary of your topic, and APA formatted reference slide(s).

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
