Answer:

When a healthcare provider manages a patient’s health, fusses about treatment options, waiting lists, and access to resources can be a challenge to ethical spots. Ethical decisions don’t have the same punishments as unlawful actions. If a healthcare administrator faces the front of a busy emergency room, they are not lawfully required to promise people that the process will speed up. But it can be ethically responsible for them to raise the concern with the board of administrators. Healthcare places can create ethical councils to bring out reasonable decision-making that respects the importance and concerns of patients and does not forget their families and other healthcare providers.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) order is written by a doctor and it instructs healthcare providers not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a patient stops breathing or if their heart stops beating.

2. Ethical concerns can arise when it’s not clear if a patient was able to choose a DNR.

In this situation, the first choice of the ER employee would be to keep trying. But, the ethical ruling (DNR) tells to not give CPR if the patient does not have an active heartbeat.

1. A woman who has a check-up came early to the doctors' office for their monthly check-up. Even though they came first; they had to wait longer than the other patients.

2. The woman gets impatient with the wait time and starts to cause a fuss.

In this situation, the medical receptionist's personal/work ethic would be to tell her to calm down. And that she will have to wait and or reschedule for an earlier time.

(If this does not help just ignore honestly.)
