2023 Medical Ethics Symposium: “No Good Options: An Impossibly Difficult Case in the NICU”

Enduring Activity: 2023 Medical Ethics Symposium: “No Good Options: An Impossibly Difficult Case in the NICU” Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2023Et... Target Audience This program is intended for physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, chaplains, social workers, other healthcare providers, members of hospital ethics committees and community clergy. Statement of Need Within the dynamics of healthcare, circumstances can arise that impose difficult moral choices. During the pandemic, healthcare leaders and ethicists contemplated how to allocate ventilators if the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation exceeded the number of available ventilators. On the individual level, a nurse may believe a patient is suffering and would decline treatment if the patient had the capacity to do so, but has orders and surrogate direction to treat the patient. These types of circumstances wear on a person’s moral fiber. Without guidance and support, such events can lead to oral and spiritual distress that harm the professional’s work and sense of self. Providers may be unaware of the value of an ethics consultation and how it can reduce stress for a patient’s family and staff. They may also be unaware of how to cope when caught in an impossible moral dilemma. Objectives 1) Articulate the nature of a moral dilemma and appreciate the impact such dilemmas have on one’s personal and professional identity. 2) Identify ways to reframe a moral dilemma and use transpersonal resources to alleviate moral distress. 3) Describe the clinical ethics consultation process.
