Case Study 3

A 78-year-old widowed man fell down the stairs of his home and was transported to the hospital where he had hip surgery the next day. The social worker notices some cognitive issues when assessing the patient for discharge. At a family meeting, the man's daughter expresses fear that her father will fall again, stating that he is "not as sharp as he used to be." She wants her father to go to a short-term rehabilitation facility. Her father is reluctant; he wants to go home and his son supports him in this decision.

Post an explanation of the ethical dilemma in the case you selected. From the perspective of the medical social worker, explain which ethical standards need to be considered and how those standards may suggest different courses of action. Then, explain how you might respond to the ethical dilemma as the medical social worker in this case. Explain two ethical responsibilities for a medical social worker in response to this case. Make sure to support your response by referring to the NASW Code of Ethics.
