Answer 2

Examples of ethical situation might be these:

• I saw my manager steal money from the cash register. I didn't want to lose my job but the company was being harmed. I called my District Manager and reported it.
• My friend and I worked in the same doctor's office. A patient asked if the doctor was running on time. Later my friend told the doctor the patient had been "irate and rude". The doctor said to send the patient a termination letter and he refused to see her anymore. I stepped in to tell the truth about the patient, who had not been rude or irate. I lost my friend because of my decision.
• I overheard my co-worker lie to a customer about the costs of different service plans. I told my manager because that behavior eventually harms the company and customers.
• I saw my co-worker "slap" an older patient's hand. My co-worker was irritable because her baby was sick all night. But slapping a patient is abuse, even though the slap left no mark on the skin.
• My nurse mentor ran an IV at a higher rate to "catch up" because the IV rate "got behind". Later she put it back to the rate that the doctor had ordered. I reported it because she didn't follow doctor's orders, and the patient could have been harmed.
• Two girls at a fast food store routinely go outside to smoke marijuana on their breaks. Then, they confuse orders, forget things, and get rude to customers. I really wanted to fit in at work, but what they were doing was wrong and affected job performance.
