As you begin your first clinical site rotation, the preceptor asks you about the ethical treatment of clients with Alzheimer’s disease. You are not sure of how to respond, so she suggests you review the Belmont Report. You see that this report has three principles: beneficence, justice, and respect for persons.

• Select one of these principles and describe why it is essential to you as a professional nurse when caring for clients with Alzheimer’s Disease and their family
• Describe a possible scenario that reflects how nursing services are applied with the principle that you selected.

Response Posts

Response Post 1: After reviewing the post of your colleagues, select one that has chosen a Belmont Report principle different than your own and comment on how it is different yet complementary to the principle you selected.

Response Post 2: Find a classmate that has chosen the same principle yet described a different scenario. Describe how your classmate’s case may or may not reflect the two Belmont Report principles that he or she did not highlight.
