C304 TASK 2.docx (2) Professional Roles and Values – C304 Task 2 Western Governors University A1. Response to Scenario As a nurse caring for Mr. Newcomb, I would be conflicted as to how to answer his request. Even though Mr. Newcomb, and not his wife, is my patient and my primary obligation is to him, I wouldn't be able to help feeling empathy for Mrs. Newcomb. Although Mr. Newcombs question may elicit a particular immediate reaction in me, I feel that I would be able to simply respond that a request such as this was not something that happened every day and that I would give him an answer by the days end. My final answer to Mr. Newcomb would depend on my role within the organization as well as my comfort level with responding to a request that I consider to be a bit of an ethical dilemma. Earlier on in my career, I would most likely consult with my immediate supervisor as to how the request should be handled. If I were in a nurse manager role in the earlier stages of my career, I may informally consult with a member of the organizations ethics committee to determine if Mr. Newcombs request is something that warrants a discussion or a review with an ethics committee meeting. By bringing Mr. Newcombs request to the ethics committee or my supervisor I would be removing myself from the situation which may allow the bond I have with Mr. Newcomb to remain intact. However, after being a nurse for the past 20 years, I think I would feel comfortable carefully considering Mr. Newcombs request.
