Purpose
For this assignment, you will examine an ethical dilemma that exists in pediatric settings with a group of your peers. You will examine the ethical dilemma from two opposing positions and consider ethical principles, conflict between the principles and the relationship of the ANA Code of Ethics in relation to both positions. You will also discuss potential resources, possible outcomes of both positions and develop a plan for resolving the issue (for patient, family and the nurse). Your team will then present this information in class with a poster grounded in scholarly sources. You will also submit individual speaker notes describing your assigned part and reflection on your values.
Course outcomes: This assignment enables the student to meet the following course outcomes: 1. Provides individualized comprehensive care for children and their families with multiple health problems in
institutions and community care settings from birth through adolescence. (PO 1) 4. Utilizes critical thinking skills in clinical decision making in the care of pediatric clients. (PO 4) 6.

RUA: Ethical Dilemma By: Stephanie Zepeda, Taylor Brown, Kelsey Dauzat, Tyleisha Bowser
Dilemma Description
● Blood transfusion is an increased risk procedure
● It requires a written consent which can be refused
● Generates medical and ethical concerns ● Understanding patients beliefs and
practices are important ● Jehovah’s Witnesses firmly oppose to
blood transfusions
S.Z.
(Jakubowska, 2018) .
Dilemma Description
● This situation can be difficult especially when dealing with pediatric patients.
● What if the child could make this decision? ○ Case of Jehovah witness
S.Z
(Conti, 2018) (Cobb, 1994).
Pro Position ● Four capacities have been described
for medical decision-making 1. Communicating a choice 2. Understanding 3. Reasoning 4. Appreciation
● Fully developed by age 12 ● Countries such as the Netherlands
involve children in decision making ● Parents may not always know what is
best
S.Z
(Grootens, wiegers, 2017).
Con Position ● Decision making can be affected by
various factors ○ Mental capacity ○ Stress ○ Peer Pressure ○ Easily persuaded
● It can cause a divide in families
S.Z
(Grootens, wiegers, 2017).
Ethical
Principles
❏ Autonomy ❏ Beneficence ❏ Nonmaleficenc
e ❏ Justice ❏ Veracity ❏ Fidelity
T.Brown
(Elarousy and AlNajjar, 2017)
Ethical Principles
Are there special circumstances in which minors can be legally allowed to make autonomous health care decisions?
The mature minor
“In circumstances in which a minor wishes to make an autonomous decision contrary to the wishes of parents or medical professionals, courts may grant the minor total or partial
emancipation (mature minor status) to make decisions. Such judicial actions are based on existing case law, state statutes, or common law practices, and will therefore be determined on a case-by- case basis. Courts often consider the patient’s prior experience with his or her medical condition,
intelligence, and general evidence of maturity in making these determinations”
T.Brown
(Frader and Flanagan, 2017)
Applicable ANA Code of Ethics
Provisions
Provision 1. The nurse practices with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity, worth, and unique attributes of every person.
T.Brown
(Haddad, 2020)
Applicable ANA Code of Ethics
Provisions
Provision 2. The nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient, whether an individual, family, group, community, or population.
T. Brown
(Haddad, 2020)
Applicable ANA Code of Ethics
Provisions
Provision 3. The nurse promotes, advocates for, and protects the rights, health, and safety of the patient.
T. Brown
(Haddad, 2020)
Resources to resolve dilemma
❏ The American Academy of
Pedatrics ❏ Consult with anaesthetists,
surgeon, parents, and child (if old
enough to understand) ❏ Assure Confidentially
T.Bowser
(Chand, Subramanya, & Rao, 2014)
Potential outcomes of the
dilemma
❏ The healthcare provider can administer a blood
transfusion to a child without constant of the parent. ❏ The can be temporarily removed from home for child
neglect. ❏ The Court can make a decision to have constant or refusal
blood transfusion if there is no emergency. ❏ Accept receiving blood plasma fractions or the reinfusion
of their own blood ❏ Parents can be okay with healthcare team consulting on
child’s behalf
T.Bowser
(Chand, Subramanya, & Rao, 2014)
Plan for resolving the dilemma ● Respect the child’s and family’s religious beliefs and
practices. ● Consider the child’s development when talking about
spiritual concerns. ● Contact the institution’s chaplaincy department for patients
and families who have symptoms of spiritual distress or ask for specific religious rituals.
● Become knowledgeable about the religious worldviews of cultural groups found in the patients you care for.
● Encourage visitation with family members, members of the patient’s spiritual community, and spiritual leaders.
● Allow children and families to teach you about the specifics of their religious beliefs.
● Develop awareness of your own spiritual perspective. ● Listen for understanding rather than agreement or
disagreement.
K.D.
(Hockenberry and Wilson, 2018)
Plan for resolving the dilemma
● Establish a therapeutic relationship with the child and family. ● Assess your own personal beliefs about the ethical delimma. ● Educate the child and family of the benefits, risks of blood
transfusions. ● Assess the child’s cognitive ability in making medical decisions for
themselves. ● Evaluate and educate on the possible outcomes of treatment vs.
not having the treatment. ● Allow the child and family to make educated desicions for
treatment. ● Respect the desicions made and advocate for their rights.
K.D.
(Levy, 2018)
Key Points
● Religions, such as Jahovah Witness, revokes blood transfusion treatments.
● Parents typically have the legal right to make the decision regarding treatment.
● There are other avenues to treatment.
● The child may have the ability to counteract this decision if deemed appropriate.
K.D
Key Points
● Provide advocacy and autonomy to your patients’ care.
● Be sure to assess your own values and morals in order to make a clear thought out plan.
● Education is important in order for the child and family to make an informed decision.
