A nurse is asked by another to sign off a medication waste, however the nurse did not
show the waste to anyone because she stated it was too busy and no one was around. “How
individuals respond to these ethical dilemmas depends on their previous experiences with
unethical behavior, their individual personality traits, and their ethical values, as well as
their knowledge of ethical principles” (American Nurses Association, [ANA], 2014).
Paraphrase:
Individual responses in situations where ethical behaviors come into question are determined by their
own morals and values, their integrity and their understanding of ethics in general (American Nurses
Association, [ANA], 2014).
