Description
This is a powerpoint presentation that I already started and it is attached. Please go through each question and add to the powerpoint being detailed as possible. Also at the end create a game based of the powerpoint information
1) Clearly articulate the ethical issue common to treating substance use disorders/addictions. Ethical Issue below
Taking the most ethical course of action becomes even more complex when HIV/AIDS is
thrown into the mix of concerns that the client may present. HIV/AIDS has its own unique
ethical issues. Because HIV can be transmitted through sexual activity and by sharing drug
equipment, it evokes significant personal feelings and judgments in the general public, as well as
in health and social service providers. Advocates for persons with HIV have fought for years to
maintain confidentiality, avoid mandatory reporting, and ensure access to care for those with the
disease. Because of the labels “drug abuser” or “homosexual” and the fear of a backlash toward
people with HIV, advocates have been pushing strongly toward preventing discrimination. This
has led to creating safeguards to protect these individuals from discrimination in health care,
employment, housing, and other services.
2) From the Dolgoff and colleagues (2012) textbook, page 24, discuss how all six social work values are related to the ethical issue. The six social work values are: service; social justice; dignity and worth of the person; importance of human relationships; integrity; and competence.
3) From the Dolgoff and colleagues (2012) textbook, page 73, complete steps 1 through 7 of the decision making model (Figure 4.1).
4) From the Dolgoff and colleagues (2012) textbook, page 80, discuss which 1 of the 7 ethical principles is most applicable to your ethical issue (Figure 4.4). The seven ethical principles are: protection of life; social justice; self determination, autonomy, and freedom; least harm; quality of life; privacy and confidentiality; and truthfulness and full disclosure.
5) The previous steps helped you analyze an ethical issue. With that said, please discuss how the findings from your analysis can guide your future social work practice in treating substance use disorders/addictions in urban, African American communities.
