The emphasis on ethics when dealing with the elderly in long-term settings is essential. Based on this LTC facility’s services, ethical consideration helps the professionals make informed decisions when handling patients (CMS, 2018). As caregivers, you will deal with patients who cannot make independent decisions due to their health conditions. As seen in Case Study One, the nurse, with the psychiatrist’s support in the facility, should evaluate whether Mr. Parker can make a well-thought healthcare decision (Champlain Centre for Health Care Ethics, 2018). If the outcomes portray an impaired autonomy, the immediate family members should participate in the decision-making process; however, third parties should intervene if their choices raise ethical concerns.
