Answer the questions that were incorrect in writing.

Answer the questions that were incorrect verbally.

Case Study 1 – Norni and JimNorni and Jim talked frankly about ageing and death long before either of them reached old age. They both agreed that they did not want to be kept alive artificially and that they would like to refuse treatment when they no longer had a good quality of life. When Jim entered residential aged care he specified his wish which was recorded on his file. His wife had a medical power of attorney for him so that she could make decisions about his treatment if he was not able. After a period of time his health worsened. He no longer knew his wife and suffered pain and discomfort. He suffered many chest infections. After one particularly bad chest infection Norni spoke to Jim’s doctor and said that she no longer wanted his chest infections to be treated with antibiotics. The doctor knew Jim’s wishes and agreed that this was what he would have wanted. His next chest infection was his last. He died peacefully and with dignity. One of the personal care workers was heard to say in the staff room, ‘I can’t believe the doctor didn’t give Jim antibiotics. He would have been alive now if he had. That’s malpractice! His wife probably just wanted his money quicker.’

How has the personal care worker breached ethical requirements?

What would have been the ramifications if Jim had been given antibiotics against the instructions of his wife?

How did the personal care worker’s values differ from those of Norni, Jim and the doctor?

What action should be taken by the person who heard the personal care worker’s comments?

Case Study 2 – Maria and MarcusMaria and Marcus work with people with disabilities in respite care. Recently Maria asked her friend and work colleague, Marcus, what is the matter. He has been very pre-occupied lately and it is starting to show in his work. He is short with the clients and really lost his cool when two of the clients were arguing at lunch time. Maria has also noticed that he seems to be distancing himself from the clients sometimes. Yesterday Keith was getting very frustrated when he couldn’t do up his buttons – normally Marcus is very good with Keith and takes time to talk to him and reduce his frustration levels but yesterday Marcus just walked out of the room and told Keith to get Maria to help him. Marcus decides to confide in Maria but makes her promise not to tell anyone what has happened. He has been charged with assault following a pub brawl which resulted in the person being seriously injured. He has spoken to a lawyer who has advised that it will definitely go to court but it will be some time before his case is heard – probably more than 12 months. He insists it wasn’t his fault – the other guy was being an absolute idiot in the pub and pushed Marcus until he lost his temper and hit him. Marcus is worried sick about what will happen when he has to go to court. But he is also worried about his job now. He knows he should declare the charges to his supervisor but he is sure that he will not be allowed to continue at work due to the seriousness of the charges. He needs the job so he will be able to show in court that his is gainfully employed, and also so he can pay for his legal costs. Maria gives him a hug and feels very bad for Marcus. Marcus tells her that he is taking a week’s leave to sort things out and that Maria must keep it a secret. Maria knows she should not do that. It all seems very unfair and now she has a problem too.

Advise what you would do in Maria’s position.

Case Study 3 – JamesJames is a member of the local hospital board. His father is getting old and frail and has had some medical problems lately. The family is looking for a prioritised place in the local aged care facility. As member of the board, James will have some say in whether his father is offered a prioritised place or not.

What is the problem in this case study?

What should be done?

In this situation, nothing is done and James influences the board to approve the priority place for his father. He justifies his action by saying that his father was a clear priority and that the decision would have been the same whether he was on the board or not.

If this is the case, has James and the rest of the board made an ethical decision? Explain your answer.

What should the rest of the board have done?

Case Study 4 – HerriotYou are working in a community health service which is run in conjunction with a youth ‘drop-in’ program. known as Youth in Front. Herriot Malini is a 14-year-old girl who has been attending the program for some time. Herriot has a mild intellectual disability with sub-average intellectual functioning and lack of social skills. Herriot has a reputation for dishonesty including telling lies and stealing from others. You have noticed lately that she has been withdrawn and subject to fits of temper. When you ask her if she is okay, she tells you that no, she is not okay and how would you feel if your mother’s boyfriend kept feeling you up? As you talk to Herriot, she discloses that her mother’s boyfriend has touched her sexually on several occasions when her mother has been at work. She has now moved in with her grandmother to get away from him. Her mother went crazy when she found out she was living with Grandma and when she told her why she called her a ‘lying little b***h’. She tells you that she wants the man locked up so he can’t hurt her anymore but she also tells you that she would be much too scared to talk to authorities about what has happened. Herriot also says that her mother has no rights over her because she is not her real mother but only a guardian because her mother died when she was a baby.

What legislation covers the protection of children against abuse in your state?

Herriot has a reputation for lying. Does this mean you should decide whether or not she is telling the truth before reporting the allegation? How may the code of ethics assist you with this decision?

Where can you find information about how to deal with allegations of client abuse inside and outside of your organisation?

What guidance does a code of ethics give in relation to confidentiality in this case?

Is Herriot right when she says her mother has no rights because she is not her real mother?

You realise you will need to report this to your supervisor. When should you do this and what would you do if your supervisor was not available?

You have no counselling experience or training, but for several years you have worked with young people with disabilities who are at risk. You think Herriot needs some counselling to help her with her issues around the sexual assault and her problems with her mother. As you have a good relationship with Herriot, you think you are the best person to do this. You arrange to meet Herriot at her grandmother’s house tomorrow to start the counselling. You are looking forward to helping Herriot and read up on counselling text books overnight.

What is wrong with your idea to provide counselling to Herriot?

What is your responsibility to Herriot?

Case Study 5 – LionelLionel is participating in an alcohol program to try to reduce his drinking. He has a history of domestic violence against his wife, Julieanne – always after he has been drinking. He loves Julieanne – but when he drinks he gets violent. Julieanne has decided to give him one more chance – and he has agreed to participate in the program. All is going well and Lionel has not had a drink in two months. But one day his mate, Ollie, comes to town and they go out for a drink for old time’s sake. One drink leads to two, which leads to many more and Lionel and Ollie go back to Lionel’s house after midnight very drunk. Julieanne is not happy – after all his hard work, Lionel is drunk again. It is all Ollie’s fault in Julieanne’s mind. She says something about it to Ollie, which Lionel hears. He loses his temper. He calls Julieanne names and starts pushing her about. Despite Ollie trying to stop him, Lionel hits Julieanne across the head and she falls backwards, banging her head against the door jamb. An ambulance takes Julieanne to hospital. She has head injuries. The next day Lionel is remorseful. He attends his program and tells the coordinator what happened. He feels ashamed. The program coordinator is very disappointed with Lionel. He was going so well but he has just gone straight back to his old ways – and now Julieanne is in hospital. His coordinator wants to shout at Lionel and refuse to have him in the program. He looks terrible, and is dirty and unwashed from last night. He smells of alcohol. She feels very sorry for Julieanne – she deserves better than this. She should just leave him, he will never change! Lionel can see the disapproval in his coordinator’s face. ‘Oh, come on!’ he says. ‘My best friend was in town. I just went out for a drink with him.’CHCLEG001 WORK LEGALLY AND ETHICALLY

You and Elaine work with youth in the community. Elaine has come to you today with a dilemma that she is very worried about. A young 14-year-old girl has come to her asking for help to get an abortion. Elaine has very strong anti-abortion values and she does not feel comfortable assisting the client in this way. Elaine wonders if you would be able to take on her client. Yesterday you saw your friend’s daughter, Sienna, talking with Elaine. You know that Sienna has been having a lot of problems at home. You ask Elaine if it is Sienna that is needing the abortion. Unfortunately it is, so now you also have an ethical dilemma due to your friendship with Sienna’s mother. There are no other workers in your organisation that can take over Sienna’s case. Your organisation deals with many youth issues and provides financial assistance and referral to various services including sexual health, drug and alcohol, quit smoking, housing and accommodation.
