    1. Deontology can be applied when making individual patient care decisions as a nurse, as nurses have a duty to treat each patient as an ethical end in themselves. 2. Teleology can be applied when evaluating outcomes of care to understand if the intended goals were achieved. For example, lying may be acceptable if it results in positive outcomes like saving a life. 3. Utilitarianism can be applied by developing healthcare policies that support the highest level of health for the greatest number of patients, though rules may not always provide the best individual benefit. Overall population benefit is most important.

    1. Site an example where you can apply Deontology, Teleology, Utilitarianism as a staff
    nurse, justify your answer.
    Deontology
    Nurses are trained to do the most good for the one patient in front of them and are less
    concerned with a sense of common good. This is also in our medical law systems where the
    concepts of negligence is on the duty of a nurse to the individual. Good practice takes place
    when we apply diagnostic skill and care for our patients in a carefully tailored fashion, while
    harm instead occurs when we fail to recognize that the patient is an ethical end in themselves
    and that we have a duty to treat them as such.
    Teleology
    When an explanation uses concepts like ends, goals, purposes, or objectives, it is referred to as
    being teleological.Evaluate something's outcomes to try to understand what it was intended to
    achieve. Will judge a behavior as good if it results in positive outcomes and as bad if it results in
    negative outcomes. For instance, while the majority of people believe that lying is bad,
    teleological ethics would hold that this behavior is acceptable if it would not do harm and would
    aid to save or make someone happy.
    Utilitarianism
    When faced with a moral choice, we should make the decision that would result in the most
    overall wellbeing or happiness and the least amount of suffering. In terms of medicine, this
    means that our goal should be to develop healthcare policies that support the highest level of
    health for the greatest number of patients. The fact that these laws don't always provide the
    patient with the best benefit is a crucial part of this approach. The rules might not work in some
    situations. For instance, a certain treatment might be suggested for all patients with a certain
    ailment, but we would know it would be harmful in the case of a specific patient. All patients
    should have access to this policy, thus it's beneficial overall. The rule utilitarian has trouble
    explaining our actions in such situations.

    2. In your own perception,


    A. Is contraception morally right or morally wrong? Justify your answer.

    In my perception, contraception is not morally wrong. The use of


    contraceptives has been under scrutiny recently, particularly in light of the
    government requirement that insurance and health care providers pay for the
    contraceptives used by their policyholders. Condoms, birth control pills,
    intrauterine devices, and barrier methods are all considered contraceptives since
    they intentionally prevent pregnancy or conception. Utilizing a pill or a condom is
    not morally wrong, hence using contraception is not unethical. Additionally,
    planning to have no children is not unethical. Therefore, utilizing contraception is
    neither innately wicked nor carried out with bad intentions, making it morally
    acceptable. Contraceptive use is, in fact, praised by a large number of people. A
    lady, for instance, would be ethically commended if she chose not to have any
    more children in order to protect herself and her future children.

    B. What is ethical theory can be applied? Elaborate further.


    The ethical theory can be applied in using contraception is the
    deontology. Using deontology ethics, which places more emphasis on the
    morality of the intentions behind actions. According to deontologists, humans are
    moral agents by nature and are motivated by a will or intent when making
    decisions. Depending on the intention of the person, using either natural or
    artificial means of contraception may be morally acceptable or morally evil. The
    desire to prevent pregnancy leads people to choose both artificial and natural
    contraceptive techniques. They both entail choices and intentions, making them
    both active contraceptive acts.
