SOLVED599

What would you do in these situations? Remember to consider the principles of health care ethics when making your decisions. P.J. is a support worker caring for Mrs. Osillo, an older woman who has a “G-tube” for feeding. As P.J.’s supervisor explained to him, this tube goes directly into Mrs. Osillo’s stomach through an opening made in her abdomen, and all of her foods and nutrients are given through it. She cannot have anything to drink, as she has severe problems swallowing and any food or fluids would go into her lungs, resulting in respiratory problems and pneumonia. Mrs. Osillo has already been admitted to the hospital for pneumonia twice this year. Mrs. Osillo complains that she feels thirsty all the time and begs P.J. to give her something to drink. Discussion P.J. cannot give Mrs. Osillo anything to drink because doing so would violate the principle of nonmaleficence. Anything that is taken orally can cause severe problems for Mrs. Osillo. P.J. decides that he should discuss this situation with the supervisor so that together they can come up with a solution that respects Mrs. Osillo’s right to autonomy and that is in keeping with the principle of beneficence.
