Ethical Cases (dilemma) regarding Birth Control by Contraception :
First we need to define an ethical dilemma it is a circumstances in which no answer seems completely suitable. Opposite courses of action may look similarly necessary. Ethical dilemmas are in the middle of the most difficult situations in medical practice.
To find answers, physicians must use ethical philosophies and principles to determine the problems and benefits of any course of action.
We'll be deliberating two cases from an Ethical point of view so first we need to know the four principal of medical ethics
• Autonomy: the patient has the right to decline or accept their management
• Beneficence: a physician should be doing what is in the best interest of the patient
Beneficence
The doctor should ask why the Fatimah does not want to get pregnant, and It is important for the doctor to establish a moral connection with her, to be somebody she feel she can relay on and share her reasons to. and if her refusal is something temporary or permanent.
Fatimah says she want to finish college before getting pregnant, and she do not want her husband to know, but if she asks the doctor to help her talk with her husband, the doctor can help.
Non Maleficence
The doctor should explain The adverse effects of the pill, such as Vomiting, Weight increase, Painful or puffy breasts, Small quantities of blood, or spotting, between periods, Lighter periods, Mood alterations, they are usually slight and serious adverse effects rare in most women but risk factors need to be shared out by the doctor.
Autonomy
By respecting Fatimah and that she have the final saying in the matter, and if she does not want her husband to know about her taking contraception then she has her right to confidentiality. And the doctor should give her contraception. The second scenario is in the western world (United states of
...s driven by non-maleficence, or the intent to “do no harm”. They know that withholding treatment for religious beliefs will potentially be fatal to both. While Maria is acting out of loyalty to her religious beliefs, the medical staff is acting out of loyalty to the patient’s well being and that of her unborn child. It would be unfair if no party were acting on behalf of that child. In conclusion, providers in this case must pursue every option in delivering life saving treatment for this child. This may involve legal action. If it were just Maria providers may attempt to influence her decision, but ultimately it would be up to her to refuse suggested treatment. Since her decision affects the life of the baby providers are called upon to save that child .
The case of Marguerite M presents an ethical dilemma. Medical ethics play a special role in medicine and is directly concerned with its practice. Its role has continued to evolve as changes develop in
They believe the only issue is with the fertility clinic not doing their part in creating a sound environment that is geared developing a child not money centered. The third author’s outlook lead more towards providing counseling as a direction for the couple’s situation. They believe that its necessary to seek outside help to provide guidance on handling this matter. The stress, tension, and uncertainty that is arising in the individuals that are involves needs a middle man of a professional background to give insight them on how to handle these matters. The last author displayed his opinion as focuses more on incorporating all parties in the process of child birth. The author believes that everyone should not only consider the importance it has on one’s self, on the unborn, and
Yet , they might have their own opinions on the situation . The medical practitioners would not break any rule or have to do anything to aid in the conception of the child if Mrs. Jamison finds a new partner . They would be fine with what is going on . 3 .

Healthcare ethics is defined as a system of moral principles that guide healthcare workers in making choices regarding medical care. At its core lies our attitudes regarding our personal rights and obligations we have to others. When an unprecedented situation comes into play, we rely on medical ethics to help determine an outcome that would be the best case scenario for all involved. In order to appropriately review this case study, we must first identify the key stakeholders, the ethical principles, policy implications at the federal, state, and local levels, financial implications, and a viable resolution for the situation.
The four major ethical principles in health care are: Autonomy – to honor the patient’s right to make their own decision (the opposite is paternalism - the health care provider knows best for the patient), Beneficence – to help the patient advance his/her own good, Nonmaleficence – to do no harm (many bioethical controversies involves this principle), and Justice – to be fair and treat like cases alike. All 4 principles are considered to be in effect at all times. In theory, each is of equal weight or importance. Ethical responsibilities in a given situation depend in part on the nature of the decision and in part on the roles everyone involved play.
Some of the good side effects are you can become more regular, have lighter periods, even no periods at all, less cramping, and they’re highly effective. Some of the bad side effects that come with using birth control are breast tenderness, spotting, serious blood clots, skin irritation, raised blood pressure, and the birth control being expensive. Those are just some of the reasons why women have a love hate relationship with birth control. That’s why it takes so much time and research to find what birth control is right for you because you need to know the kind of side effects that comes with the birth control method you
Medical ethics could be so many different thing mostly bad.There's so many stories about medical ethics this this story about this girl. At the age of 13 she was diagnosed with a rare and fated type of cancer.The survived and was cleaned that didn't have cancer. Then 10 years later she fought for her life again, she had sergey. After the Surgery there was no where no sign of the cancer.

In this diverse society we are confronted everyday with so many ethical choices in provision of healthcare for individuals. It becomes very difficult to find a guideline that would include a border perspective which might include individual’s beliefs and preference across the world. Due to these controversies, the four principles in biomedical ethic which includes autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice help us understand and explain which medical practices are ethical and acceptable. These principles are not only used to protect the rights of a patient but also the physician from being violated.

The physical changes due to taking birth control pills is that it cause headaches, and o go migraines and who hates headaches and migraines. Migraines cause women hormones to go crazy and out of control. Also by taking the pill women see that there migraines got better or in some women see that there headaches or migraines get worse by the day due to how much dose women are prescribed.

As a nurse practitioner, it’s essential to consider family and social histories whenever consider starting a patient on any medications. In order to increase patient’s compliance, it is necessary to use an effective, accessible, and well-tolerated treatment plan for the patient. My treatment goal for Claudia would be to educate her about the different types of birth control and which one would work best for her. Also, I would recommend her the following two options that I believe would work best. My first option is the intrauterine device (IUD) which is a long-acting, reversible contraceptive that can remain in the uterus for 3–10 years depending on the method that is used. The three types of IUDs are Copper (ParaGard), and the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG IUS) devices Skyla and Mirena. The second option is the medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera). Depo-Provera is classed as a long-acting reversible method of contraception. One of the key advantages of this method is that it requires no action on the part of the patient and is usually given at intervals of twelve weeks, making it an excellent choice for patients who have problems complying with oral contraceptive methods
There are weaknesses in professional guidelines and rules because they are unable to provide the directives for moral reasoning and action is health care situations. Many people state that biomedical ethics provides a framework and emphasis on the person rather than the professional code and legal policy (Beauchamp and Childress, 2001). On the other hand they serve a purpose to provide some direction for professionals however codes of practise do not dismiss.
o There is also a conflict between the parents and themselves/the doctor. They want to go along with the doctor because they know he must check, but they do not want force or hurt their daughter in order to get her to submit.
In such positions, the resolution to terminate a pregnancy may be argued as the most ethical choice. The mother is also considered to have a reasonable level of ethical responsibility to the fetus, because she did not take enough precautions to ensure avoid conception (Cline, 2014). The mother’s ethical responsibility to the fetus may not be enough to deprive her of choice of abortion; it may be enough to ascertain when an abortion can be ethically selected (Cline, 2014). When a woman does not wish to carry an abortion to term, it will be unethical for law or any other person to force them to do so.... ...
