Paper For Above instruction

The discussion for this week revolves around selecting appropriate scholarly sources and demonstrating effective research strategies in support of an ethical presentation topic. Two students, Veronica and Valerie, exemplify different ethical issues and research approaches relevant to organizational ethics and health care practices.

Veronica selected the topic "Failing to Cooperate with Others," emphasizing the importance of utilizing accurate keywords and subject headings such as "cooperation in workplace," "teamwork in nursing," and "interpersonal collaboration." She highlights the significance of relevance and source credibility as the primary features when narrowing down database results. Veronica’s approach demonstrates effective use of the West Coast University research search tips, using natural language and subject-specific terminology to enhance search efficiency.

Valerie’s chosen topic is "Producing misleading services," with a focus on non-invasive laser liposuction and related ethical concerns around deceptive marketing practices. She underscores the importance of current, reliable sources, preferably peer-reviewed articles, and emphasizes using specialized medical jargon and credible website domains like ".org," ".edu," and ".gov" to filter results effectively. Her strategy illustrates the importance of precise keywords and domain filters to obtain trustworthy information in healthcare research.

In considering the ethical scenario involving Betty, the Chief Nursing Officer, the discussion shifts towards ethical decision-making and conflict of interest. Brittany advocates declining the lavish retreat proposal, citing conflict of interest principles rooted in organizational ethics. She references Pozgar's 2014 work, highlighting that employees must avoid personal favoritism that compromises professional integrity and the organization's interests. Brittany emphasizes that accepting such offers could be construed as misconduct and favoritism, which many healthcare institutions explicitly prohibit through policy.

Ingrid agrees with the stance to decline, emphasizing Betty’s role, power, and the potential for occupational fraud and abuse. She notes the importance of organizational policies, such as whistleblower hotlines and gift policies, designed to prevent corruption and conflicts of interest. Ingrid’s perspective underscores that accepting personal gratuities or benefits hampers ethical standards and can undermine organizational trust and accountability.

Both responses demonstrate the importance of adhering to ethical frameworks such as deontology, which emphasizes duty and adherence to moral rules, and the importance of institutional policies to uphold transparency and integrity. These cases illustrate how search strategies, source credibility, and ethical decision-making are interconnected in professional and academic research, especially within healthcare settings.
