| What is an example of an ethical dilemma? |
|
Definition
| For example, a patient with a cardiac problem for whom the American Heart Association recommends antibiotic prophylaxis before invasive dental hygiene procedures tells the dental hygienist to just go ahead with the scaling and root planing because he does not want to take any antibiotics. The patient is expressing his autonomy by stating he does not wish premedication. The dental hy gien ist, however, knows that a lack of antibiotic coverage may cause harm to the patient. This is a genuine ethical dilemma because two ethical principles (patient autonomy and nonmaleficence) are in conflict. |
