One’s major theme is based on the need for moral behavior amongst medical
stakeholders as well as the importance of ethical habits especially on the
professionals. It asserts the right of patients and nurses to certain legal
requirements in the quest to administer and receive treatment. As such, it
outlines the obligations of caregivers to patients, administrators to nurses
and the role of public health policies in administering social justice within
communities. It is instrumental to note that all medical stakeholders need to
choose good over evil in order to facilitate saving of lives since that would
be the humane thing to do (Morrison, 2006). As such, one should desist from
activities that cause pain or harm to another person. A moral compass is needed
and the oath taken by doctors and nurses needs to be always enforced. In fact,
an emphasis is laid on the need to make rational decisions to avoid disastrous
consequences. Honesty and goodwill are emphasized as the main drivers of
morality hence the need to adopt them in everyday life. In fact, these notions
are vital in my career prospects and I will have to inculcate empathy as a way
of dealing with patients (Morrison, 2006). By sympathizing about their plight
and genuinely getting concerned on the best way to solve their problems, I will
naturally be inclined to do the right thing under all situations thereby providing
necessary aid. It is also imperative to eliminate stereotypes of any kind, as
that would enhance unbiased decision-making, which is in line with the ethical
stance of medical practitioners. In fact, it would be a motivating factor to
exhibit equal services to clients because that would be a measure of versatility
and competency.
