Discuss an ethical issue that you have encountered in your clinical setting. Include at least two APA citations from sources that back up or address your thoughts or opinions:

Identify an ethical quandary in your clinical or work environment. The situation could be an example of either ethical or unethical behavior, or a mix of the two. It could be an example of something that worked well or something that needs to be improved.
Describe the ethical problem in detail, including the client’s background.
Describe the actions that worked and did not work in resolving the ethical quandary.
Determine the ethical principles that were at stake (confidentiality, non-maleficence, etc.)
Determine three nursing interventions that would be beneficial in resolving the ethical dilemma. These could include ethical actions that you witnessed as well as any ethical actions that were absent from the situation.
This paper is expected to be two pages long (not including the title page) and double-spaced. Your paper should have an introduction and conclusion, as well as proper APA citations from all sources used, including your text.
