Question

What is an ethical dilema related to health policy

Answer 1

Ethical dilemas also known as a moral dilema, are situations in which there is a choice to be made between two options, neither of which resolves the situation in an ethically acceptable fashion.

Nurses have opportunities to participate in ethical decision making with individuals, families and communities.

The most discussing ethical dilemas in healthcare is Individual and Community Rights. Perhaps the clearest example of an ethical tension in public health is the balancing of individual and community rights when a person is discovered to have a communicable disease.
Weighing Benefits, Harms, Risks, and Costs also another important concern . All public health interventions require a balancing of benefits versus harms and costs. Vaccination campaigns always have an associated risk of harm because of adverse reactions to the vaccine.
