Problem:
Employees are the foundation of a healthcare organization. How employers handle ethical dilemmas and challenges directly impacts employee well-being. Consider the following ethical dilemma: Denise and her brother, Jose, are both employed in the healthcare field. Both have advanced degrees and extensive experience. Denise works for a hospital in medical technology. Jose recently lost his job at a healthcare clinic because he repeatedly did not follow policies and procedures. Jose applies for an opening at Denise's hospital. Denise does not have the same last name as Jose since she is married. Jose does not list the prior job on his resume and uses Denise as a reference. Then use the following questions to guide an original response: Discuss the ethical dilemmas that pertain to this scenario. Have you ever been in an ethical dilemma in the workplace? What choices did you make? What was the outcome? Use the critical vocabulary.
