Question

This week we read two articles (one very short, and one mid-sized) about the concept of dignity, and a second about the provision of "false hope" in nursing practice. Please read the two articles, and then answer one of the two questions below in ~400 words:

1. Is providing false hope consistent with treating patients with maximum human dignity? Does it make a difference if a doctor or nurse is providing it? Why or why not? Refer to the articles in answering.

2. Which of the ethical theories that we have visited with prior to this week captures the concerns raised about dignity best? Why?

Answer 1

(1) The nature of the law means it is unlikely can bring a successful lawsuit against the doctors or nurses for offering false hope , intead of cold reality to the patient , There are two element to proving malpractice . the first the patients ( plaintiff) must prove that the doctor ( defendant ) made an error and the second element is that the error lead to harm .

A doctor accused of being too opeful , eill probably explain that in his or her proffesional judgement , the patiennt could not emotionally handled more truth than the delivered and the doctor will claim that when he tried to be more direct , the patient denied reality and theclearly only wanted to hear positive news. giving the false hope leads to the patient mind in doubt because they trusted fully on the medical staff that they don't be let go anything with them . but in few cases it goes in it snegaive impact , that somtimes on teh death of the patient , patient's realtives or attendent claims on medical staff that they lie with them and intentionally do so for making the money.    

(2) The concept of human dignity , as one of the most important professional values , and has a become a part of the ethical issues in the field of education and as well as nursing practice ,.AS due to the human nature in the nursing proffession , the dignity is of interest inall counyries of the world ,Human dignity is a kind of vague , and a complex , multidimensional , and fundamental concept in the nursing profession . iT means having respect for human individuality and training each individual as a unique human being . Respect for the human dignity   is a basic necessity not only for patients but also for all human beings , It is also an important aspects of nursing care ,

Human dignity , in moral codes , is a duty and a human right and in the nurses workplace , as a moral obligation. In fact , human dignity is understanding rrespect and thecompetence, and allow the individual to feel valued and the trust , grow , devop and value others . Human dignity is recognized with aspects sucha s respect , or we say self -confidence , self- environment control , privacy and the identity which could increase through the time or relationship .disrespectful behaviour is one of the most important issues in nursing , It is an issue of great urgency and can cause serious degradation in the teaching leaarning process and thus create stressful relationship , which causes conflict between staff nurse and the head nurse , and increase anxiety inthe staf nurses as well those students nurses practices in the clinical sectors . and also create unssafe working conditions in the clinical environment , resulting in the poor care of patients and increase medical expenses.
