ETHICAL DILEMMA
You are the healthcare administrator at a local hospital. A social
worker has come to you to discuss the case of Jamilah Shah, a
patient who has recently been admitted to the hospital. Jamilah
is a 90-year-old woman who was brought to the hospital after
collapsing at the side of her bed. EKG and lab tests revealed a
heart attack.
More than 40 years ago, Jamilah emigrated with her wealthy
husband (now deceased) and their three sons from Turkey to the
United States. Jamilah was a homemaker and learned only basic
English, but her children are fluent English speakers. The
children are now all in their 50s. The family retains Turkish
culture and norms, including the sons acting as patriarchs for
the family. Even though Jamilah is highly educated (in Turkey
she was trained as a lawyer), the sons make many of the family
decisions. Two of the three children are in successful careers.
The remaining child, the youngest son, Bashir, owns a small
market and struggles financially.
Until yesterday, the day of her admission, Jamilah resided in an
extended care facility (ECF), where she has lived since her
husband’s death. She reportedly has severe chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease and adult-onset diabetes mellitus.
Jamilah has no advance directives on file. Because of her
communication difficulties, the emergency department
physician started her on anticoagulants while trying to contact
her next of kin. The ECF sent paperwork to the hospital, listing
Bashir as the emergency contact. Bashir was contacted and is
now at the hospital with his two brothers. He has informed the

5. care team that he is the decision maker, and he wants his mother
to have a
Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order with no intervention of
any kind other than comfort care.
The social worker has come to you with concerns that this
decision may not reflect Jamilah’s wishes. When the social
worker was visiting with Jamilah alone, Jamilah reached for her
hand and said, “Please help me. I want to live.” The social
worker shares concerns about the interactions observed between
Jamilah and her sons, stating that the relationships seem
unsupportive. The hospital’s ethics committee has not yet been
involved. The social worker also reports that the emergency
physician requested a cardiology consultation, which was just
completed. The consultant documented that “Because the family
has requested only comfort care, and due to the patient’s
multiple comorbidities, the patient will be managed medically,
with no intervention, and will not receive cardiac
catheterization or be considered for coronary bypass surgery.”
If nothing is done, Jamilah will likely die within days.
A. Write an essay (
suggested length of 5–7 pages, not including
attachments) analyzing the scenario by doing the following:
1. Describe
three potential ethical dilemmas presented in the
scenario:
one related to autonomy,
one related to beneficence, and
one related to non-maleficence.
a. Analyze legal implications associated with
each of the potential ethical dilemmas described.

6. 2. In response to Bashir’s demands for only comfort care,
discuss
each of the following three courses of action in the
scenario as it relates to
each ethical dilemma.
• Course of action 1: follow Bashir’s wishes
• Course of action 2: refuse to follow Bashir’s wishes
• Course of action 3: briefly delay the decision to gather
additional information and other perspectives
a. Choose and justify the correct course of action (in response
to Bashir’s demands for only comfort care).
b. Choose
one of the courses of action from part A2
that you did not justify in part A2a and explain how
possible consequences show that it is not the correct course of
action.
3. Putting yourself in the role of a healthcare administrator,
describe in the essay what should happen next within the
scenario by doing the following:
a. Describe
two resources that could have made or could still make
Jamilah’s wishes clearer.
i. Explain how each resource could have made Jamilah’s
wishes clearer.
4. Create
three policy recommendations that you could make as
an administrator to help your employees and the facility’s
medical staff handle similar situations in the future.
a. Justify each policy recommendation.

7. B. Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and
references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or
summarized.
