In this week’s study, you reviewed the APHA Code of Ethics. Consider it and how you approach ethical questions as you discuss the following:

  • What are the key aspects of your ethical code (e.g., faith, integrity, principles)? Where does your ethical code originate from (e.g., parents, teachers, faith)?
  • Oftentimes, our personal ethics do not fully prepare us to make complex healthcare-related decisions. Does yours prepare you? Pick an area in the APHA code of ethics that you feel would help guide you in a specific healthcare-related ethical dilemma.
  • Be sure to respond to at least TWO of your classmates’ posts.
