You have been asked to teach an inservice class for nurses in your facility about ethics. Which of the following should you consider during the planning of this educational activity?

  • A

    Planning a way to evaluate the effectiveness of the class by seeing a decrease in the amount of referrals to the facility’s Ethics Committee

  • B

    Establishing educational objectives for the class that reflect the methods and methodology that you will use to present the class content

  • C

    The need to exclude case studies from the class because this would violate client privacy and confidentiality

  • D

    Some of the most commonly occurring bioethical concerns including genetic engineering into the course content

Correct Response: D

You would consider including some of the most commonly occurring bioethical concerns including genetic engineering into the course content.

You would also plan how you could evaluate the effectiveness of the class by seeing an increase, not a decrease in the amount of referrals to the facility’s Ethics Committee, because one of the elements of this class should address ethical dilemmas and the role of the Ethics Committee in terms of resolving these.

You would additionally establish educational objectives for the class that reflect specific, measurable learner outcomes and not the methods and methodology that you will use to present the class content; and lastly, there is no need to exclude case studies from the class because “sanitized” medical records can, and should be, used to avoid any violations of client privacy and confidentiality.
