Today, there are so many legal dilemmas dominating trial for the courts to make a sound legal decision on whose right in a complicated situation.

Many cases are arguments centered around if the issue is a legal or moral principle. Regardless what the situation maybe, the final decision is left to the courts to differentiate between the legality issues at hand opposed to justifying a case based on moral rules. According to Pozgar (2012), an ethical dilemma arises in situations where a choice must be made between unpleasant alternative. It can occur whenever a choice involves giving up something good and suffering something bad, no matter what course of action is taken (p. 367).

Why is it so important that healthcare executives adhere to a professional code of ethics?
Throughout this book, author Robert Welch demonstrates values of compassion, caution, and knowledge. These values interweave in Welch’s explanations of how the healthcare system of this country has so much money invested in it, and yet, manage patients receive so little care. This country has a healthcare system that is currently operating out of a broken model that does not place value on individual health, but on profit incentive.
A law is a rule of conduct or action, required (governments endorse laws) to maintain order and public safety in case of a breakdown of law. The criminal & civil law is applied to health-care practitioners or providers, if criminal wrongdoing or negligence occurred in patient’s care. Ethics or moral values serve as the basis for ethical conduct. Our societal values, Family, and cultural values help form an individual’s moral value (Pozgar, 2014, p. 217). The Pozgar further suggests that the healthcare executives needs to understanding the development of law, sources of law, the meaning of different terms to effectively handle change in environment due to frequent policy implementations.
“Public health is controversial because, depending upon how it is defined, it may challenge people’s values and demand sacrifices” (Schnieder 2017: 23). Although the overall goal is to create a policy that is inclusive of every group, this is almost impossible. It is impossible because there are too many conflicting views between each group. Public policy may also have a positive or a negative impact on the economy. One of the major conflict with public health policy is that it may be guided by religious beliefs. For example, issues such as AIDS, other sexual transmitted disease, teenage pregnancy, and low birth rates (20) are some of the major issues that end up being controversial when it comes to religion.
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.
Ethical principals are extremely important to understand in the healthcare field. Ethical responsibilities in any situation depend on the role of the healthcare worker and the nature of the decision being made. Healthcare administrators and professionals must make ethical decisions that can be an everyday or controversial situation. When making such decisions, it is imperative to consider the four major principles of ethics: autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, and distributive. By using these four principles, ethical decisions can effectively be made. For the purpose of this paper, examined will be the example of the treatment of an uninsured homeless patient. Poor health care be a cause and a result of homelessness.
The word ethics is derived from the Greek word ‘ethos’ meaning character or conduct. It is typically used interchangeably with word moral which is derived from the Latin word ‘moves’ which means customs or habits. Ethics refers to conduct, character and motivations involved in moral acts. Ethics are not imposed by a profession, by law but by moral obligation. It is unwritten code of conduct that encompasses both professional conduct and judgement. Ethics helps support autonomy and self-determination, protect the vulnerable and promotes the welfare and equality of human beings.

Although these principles can be certainly followed they can also be disregarded. Beneficence is a theory that assures each procedure given is entirely beneficial to that patient to help them advance within their own good. For example, There was a young girl, the age of 17. She had been being treated at a small private practice since she was born. She was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and was only given a few more years to live. Her doctors at the private practice who had been seeing her for years were very attached to her and wanted to grant this dying girl her every wish. They promised
“Eighty three percent of Americans believe nurses are honest and have high ethical standards” (American Nurses p4). Nurses are in high demand; patient overload and large shortages of qualified nurses makes their jobs even harder. Health care reform would like to help ease the work load as well as increase the number of nurses coming into this field. These reforms are about delivering care that is more effective in the community. This includes improving out of hospital services to make sure that people are able to access the care they need. Many people go to hospital for a minor cold or a sore throat because they are unable to pay for high costs.(unable to see a physician, who usually requires a patient to have medical insurance.

The healthcare professionals in the hospital acted without the patient’s approval and coerced the family into allowing the resuscitation. Since the doctor and the nurses did not follow the patient’s wishes, they ignored the ethical principal of autonomy. Perry (2016) states that autonomy is the individual’s “right to determine their own actions and the freedom to make their own decisions” (p. 134). The nurses did not respect the patient’s right to refuse treatment. Instead, they practiced paternalism, restricting the authority of others in the idea of supposed benefit. It is questionable as to why the professionals believed that the patient will be grateful. In addition, they did not practice knowledge and self-thought. Instead of blindly following
