This is the scenario: You are an RPN in a public health clinic in an underserved area of the city. You see many clients
with a variety of social and economic issues every day. One of your regular clients a young
single mother with three children comes to see you today in distress. She has run out of her
medication because she sold it on the street to make extra money to buy food as the food bank
is tightening its belts and it is hard to get food. She begs you to provide her with the medication
she requires. You know that you cannot dispense medication to her and you would need to
have the approval of the Nurse Practitioner (NP) to do so. You also know the NP will not
approve of dispensing the medication if the NP knows the client did not lose the medication but
sold it on the street.
Can you please identify the ethical dilemma/situation in this scenario?
