As a professional nurse leader, you are tasked with applying current standards, obtaining key stakeholder buy in

to process change, and applying evidence-based strategies to maximize patient safety and improve outcomes in

an ethical and culturally competent manner.

Thoroughly describe an ethical situation or dilemma that you have experienced or are experiencing in your

workplace.

What is the nature of the ethical issue?

Who are the stakeholders?

What are the facts of the case? Impartially present two or more different and distinct perspectives on this ethical

situation or dilemma, with sufficient detail, support, and justification for each perspective, such that the reader

cannot determine what your own perspective might be.

What are your knowledge gaps, unknown facts, missing information, unanswered questions, or areas of

uncertainty?

What are the actual or potential effects on patient safety and outcomes?

Cite standards or evidence-based strategies that could be applicable in this situation.

How was the dilemma resolved or what must be done before the dilemma can be resolved?
