Decision Making Model
Explain the decision making model below:
Bersoff delineates a nine step method first suggested by Koocher and Keith-Spiegel consisting of the following steps:
1. Determine the matter is an ethical one
2. Consult available guidelines that might apply to a specific identification and possible resolution
3. Consider, as best as possible, all sources that might influence the kind of decision you will make
4. Consult with a trusted colleague
5. Evaluate the rights, responsibilities, and vulnerability of all affected parties
6. Generate alternative decisions
7. Enumerate the consequences of making each decision
8. Make the decision
9. Implement the decision.
