Essay 3: Radiology Nursing Eshies
Nursing has played a huge roe in the work over the decades, starting back in ancient
history in 300 AD. Along with nursing, nursing ethies played an important role which builds the
‘whole purpose ofa prophecy called Hippocratic Oath. The basis of what the Hippocratic Oath is,
is that this oath is a sacred promise
g made by any medical field worker that, to the best of
their ability, they will provide the best care for their patients as well as providing them with
privacy rights; a promise that the patient wouldn't be put in harm's way| Although every
healthcare worker swears by this oath, there has been a history within radiology nurses not
holding to their pledge. The article, “Radiology Nursing Ethics and Moral Distress”, written by
Lisa Haddad, overviews the struggles throughout the years within radiology nursing ethics and
how it can put patients under radiology care through dangerous treatments. The author, Lisa
Haddad, makes a claim to which radiology nurses feeling the need to stride away from knowing
they can make the right decisions but take the opposite direction (also known as Moral Distress),
and with the evidence that is provided, er claims were proven affirmative. The way that Haddad
goes about this is providing multiple sources from researchers, as well as listing events from the
past that ea the currently refined ideals behind bioethics, and even ling the protocols hat
nurses swear to follow when treating patients.Briones 2
Lisa Haddad’s layout for this article is that she frst gives a brief rundown on “Ethics and
bioethics”, this section explains that the word ethics comes from the origin Greek meaning.
“character” and the role that ethics plays is that from the person's distinctions, they should be
able to signify the differences between right and wrong with their profession (contextual
examination of motives, attitudes, and relationships) (Guido, 2014). Its also explained that
bioethics covers the science area to which patients are intended to be treated with great care by
healthcare professionals and subjects of research (Campbell, 2017) |.
Moving on, the author then begins to explain the history behind how bioethics began, and
‘more specifically how it accelerated after World War Il. After World War Il, the Nuremberg
Code of 1947 came into effect. What this code did was “established fundamental principles for
the protection of human subject
research, namely that human subjects should be fully
informed and provide their consent before participating in medical research [..J” (Haddad 1).
‘The Nuremberg Code connects with bioethics by conducting experiments with consenting
patients to determine what is appropriate for future patients to undergo. By subjects undergoing
through the experiments, it would help jumpstart for more research to identify specifically five
‘ways to understand ifa patient is going through unethical treatments. These five categories are as
follows: “(1) known effective treatment was withheld; (2) medication was given even though no
discase was present; (3) physiologic studies wherein harmful agents were introduced to study
their effects: (4) artificial induction of disease; and (5) new methods of medical techniques being
trialed in otherwise healthy patients” (Beccher,1966). These five categories of unethical
treatment, helps form biocthies to confirm the patient's safety and avoid tolerating inappropriate
ministrations.Briones 3
Continuing on, relational ethics are incorporated into the medical industry to which i
“involves a relationship of empathy and honoring emotions between patient and provider,”
(Haddad 2) This simply means that ear providers sympathize over patet"fand their emotions
from what they are experiencing. Care providers give sympathy by interacting with patients and
their families about the thought process that is made through their decision making in addition to
considering the “diversity, incorporating culture and language,” (Haddad 2)
Along with bioethics and relational ethics, nursing ethies play a part by allowing nurses
to interact with patients a specific way. For instance, nurses must be professional when treating,
their patients by the way they interact with them, Multiple works for nursing ethics were
published back around the 1890's that included “words as codes, conduct, duty, ethics, and
tone,” (Fowler 2016, 20174). Iti explained that principles weren't fitted as appropriate in terms
of medical practice when it comes to the practice of nursing, as medical practice was more for
nonmaleficence while nursing was focused on beneficence.
Lisa Haddad then begins to talk about how the previously talked about ethics, play a role
in moral distress. We know this by Haddad explaining that there had been effects upon nurses
that experienced CF. or compassion fatigue, bumouts (exhaustion, frustration, anger, and
depression), and traumatic stress and suffering, and with that, it goes to show that due to the
stressonjnurges acquire it cam take int effet to ther patient's ere This argument was proven
by a study conducted by Toby Bressler (vice president in Oncology Nursing), Debra R. Hanna
(an associate professor at Molloy College, Rockville Centre, New York) and Elizabeth Smith (a
clinical nurse specialist) that covers over nurses giving medical care to victims involved in the
Jewish Holocaust diagnosed with a chronic ventilator-dependent respiratory failure. The nurses
that developed moral distress from providing care {0 the Holocaust patients, resulted in theBriones 4
workers making careless dvisions and sess reactions wee observe the mse poor
performances were caused by depression, powerlessness, guilt that led to improper quality care
and lack of patient satisfaction (Bressler eta. 2017) Mas also concluded thatthe mora
dis
fess was originated from concerns with retention as well as deficiency in workers. (Buston &
Tuckett, 2012), Soon after, a tool was created to measure out the moral distress among healthcare
providers along with “the perception of a positive elimate” by Ann Baille Hamric, Todd
Borchers and Blizabeth Gingell Epstein] Wit his too, it was consted 1 measure out the
‘moral distress and it came upon the result that moral distress occurred when patients were
undergoing procedures that were seen as, “futile, nonbeneficial, or potentially inappropriate”
(Haddad 5). Futile care was known as the care provided to patients who had no hope in
recovering from their circumstances or chances of a survival rate, meaning thatthe care that is
being received is defying its purpose. Haddad puts attention to this detail to prove that in order to
help future radiology nurses from going through moral distress, they use the tool to measure out
the typeof distress that the nurses were going through at that time to help manage mora iste,
radiology nurses go through now.
This is where radiology nursing comes into play. Radiology nurses follow a protocol
made by Association for Radiologic and Imaging| Nursing Association (ARIN). Back in 2018,
ARIN addressed some discussion matters that included patient safety, sterile technique, nurse
staffing, bariatric, and mursing leadership. As the topics were discussed, the clinical guidelines
‘were also updated and applied to the following: moderate sedation and analgesia, extravasation
of contrast media, capnography, and dealing with chemotherapy/eytotoxic medications. (ARIN,
2020). Haddad believes that new position statements should be incorporated into ARIN in terms
ofhow radiology nurses can communicate the gol-of ae wih the pen ptent anesBriones 5
about potentially inappropriate treatments that ean be done. So, ifa nurse comes into a
predicament, not only can they use biomedical principles, components of relational ethics, the
ANA Code of Ethics, the PC team, and an ethics committee (used for consultation) as a guide,
but along with updated ARIN position statements in order for ARIN to prove what they stand for
in patient care. For instance, the example that is used in the article is a nurse handling a patient
undergoing at the interventional radiology, nurses come into a problem of knowing whether or
nurses run into are “If this gastric tube is placed, will it prolong the patient’ life or lead to
ration pneumonia just a
dysphagia would? If the biopsy results are positive, will this person
undergo curative treatment, and if so, will it cause them to suffer?” (Haddad 6) and leads the
nurse to second guessing their care as well as their development for moral distress. With this
evidence it shows that ethos being portrayed by Haddad displaying a situation that can be
played out in the nursing world that takes eof ne sed gag Moc con take a toll
on their actions |.
Another act that could potentially come into play within a nurse's profession is an elder
‘man sustaining Vertebroplasty, a procedure where a fractured vertebra is injected with a special
cement (to relieve spinal pain), while using practically no sedation due to the man’s age and the
less like probability being monitored lying face down. With this pressure and power inthe
scenario ths pus the nus int stress from trying to maintain a procedre that will consist of
intolerable pain to their patient, which leaves the nurse ina case that they wouldn't want the
patient to go through with the procedure in fear of the patient feeling pain, However, one way the
nurse can prevent from experiencing moral distress is that they can receive consultation from a
PC team (personal consultation). PC teams are usually consulted when a nurse is questioningBriones 6
whethera nephrostomy tue placement should be eanductd fo ss nyolying a patient's
‘malignancy-related ureteral obstruction (diseased that contain abnormal cells dividing
uncontrollably and invade sues ner the abnormal ell ka cane), but the onstl a
proceeded afterall the procedures have been finalized. Unless the patient themselves
contemplates the placement of the tubing, which then the PC team involving other healtheare
‘workers such as nurses, social Workers, nurse practitioners and physicians come in and converse
wih the patient “before the procedure his or her priorties/goals of eare and any poor prognostic
factors” (Alawneh etal, 2016; Cordeiro et al, 2012). The discussion that takes place is other
options the patient can consider than having to undergo unethical procedures, such as having
concem about displacement, trouble sleeping, and limitations with regular day today actiities.
By this going imo effect, radiology nurses can consult a PC Team resulting fo reducing moral
distress in radiology nurses, in addition to patients/patients. Frame being beter ‘and properly.
informed by a PC team to make wiser decisions.
‘The way that Lisa Haddad presents her argument, she covers the history of bioethics,
relational ethics and nursing ethies as well as moral distress and how it takes an impact on
radiology nurses. The istry af isin nursing aks pat by her audience understand
the history that does go into moral distress and without knowing the background oxhistory,
ethics wouldn't make much sense in the present time. She also explains how radiology nurses
can cope with moral dises by taking action to contact the PC team to help decide what choices
should be made regarding the patients protection. With Haddad supporting her argument with
br points, sei luming that adiology nurses end to go through mora nse though hee
patient's cases and to exploit to others how it can be managed with the right help,Briones 7
