when a support worker is faced with an ethical dilemma, which of the following questions should they ask themselves in order to decide on a course of action? ch:4
○ \will anyone know the difference if i do the wrong thing?\
○ \will this save my company money?\
○ \will this save my company time?\
○ \does the decision respect the client’s wishes and preferences?\

Explanation:

First Question (Celeste's Action)

Ethical behavior involves honesty and accountability. Celeste admits she missed the class on vital signs, avoiding potential harm by not performing a task she's unqualified for, which aligns with ethical conduct (e.g., non - maleficence is about not harming, but here it's about honesty in professional practice which is ethical). Beneficent is doing good, autonomous is self - directed, non - maleficent is not harming. Her admission is ethical.

Ethical decisions in support work should center on the client's rights and preferences. The other options focus on company - centric or unethical considerations (like hiding wrongdoings). Respecting client wishes is a key ethical principle.

Answer:

In an ethical manner
