you foresee, and support your position with an explanation of your own
ethical/moral foundation.

How might this scenario play out or impact you in your role
as a nurse practitioner?

evidence.
As part of your position, propose strategies and solutions
for addressing the issues.
What other ethical issues does this case bring to light, if
any?

may be your text). Be sure to cite the
