Scenario:
Sam Trudeau managed a busy veterinary hospital. Two
receptionists attended the front desk at all times. Their
responsibilities were to answer phones, make appointments, and
collect payments on services rendered, along with various other
duties. Almost all payments into the hospital were in the form
of cash, checks, and credit cards.
A receptionist called in sick, and Sam could not find any other
employee who could work her shift, so Sam decided to cover the
shift himself. On the day he covered the sick receptionist’s
shift, the phones seemed to be ringing nonstop, clients were
backed up, and everything was chaotic. Mr. Ordine, a regular
client, and his dog had just been seen by the veterinarian, and
Mr. Ordine wanted to pay his bill in cash. Sam knew Mr.
Ordine’s dog received just one vaccine, and the price was
$25.00, but no paperwork was done yet, so Sam took Mr.
Ordine’s cash and said he would mail him the receipt when one
was generated.
At the end of the day, the veterinarian still had not completed
the paperwork, and Mr. Ordine’s file was in the stack to be
refiled. Apparently the veterinarian had forgotten to generate
the paperwork, so there was $25 in the cash drawer that had no
paper trail. Sam needed to run by the grocery store on his way
home and was short cash, so he took the $25 out of the drawer,
meaning to pay it back.
The next day, no one had noticed the $25 was missing, and Mr.
Ordine’s file was refiled. Sam considered the pros and cons of
putting the $25 back in the drawer and creating the paperwork
for the service rendered. Mr. Ordine was expecting a receipt to
be mailed to him, but Sam knew he could easily generate a
receipt without it going into the computer system, thus allowing
him to just keep the $25. After all, it was not that much money,
and if he did the proper paperwork, he would just have to pay
taxes on it anyway.
Respond to the checklist items below in a minimum of a 250-
word response using APA format and citation style (include
additional title and reference pages).
Checklist:
View the
presentation on ethics.
Explain what decision you would have made in Sam Trudeau’s
place using the
ethical decision-making steps
.
Explain the ethical considerations using your ethical reasoning
based on:
(a) Consequentialist approaches (choose one: ethical egoism,
act utilitarianism, or rule utilitarianism) and
(b) Non-Consequentialist approaches (choose one: divine
command or categorical imperative)
or
one of the Virtue Ethics viewpoints. (You should therefore
present a total of two viewpoints concerning the scenario
above.)
3. Explain the strength of one of your viewpoints chosen and
the corresponding weakness with regard to this scenario and the
decision made by Sam Trudeau.
4. Explain why and how the ethical decision to be made will
impact the personnel at the hospital.
