Study Notes

Ethics, Values, and Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada

Nurses in Canada are required to understand the legal context of mental health care and abide by the CNA Code of Ethics Values for RNs.
The CNA Code of Ethics Values for RNs is based on seven values and ethical responsibilities, guiding nurses' professional conduct and informing the public of their commitment.
Deontology and Utilitarianism are ethical theories that guide decision-making, with deontology focusing on duty and obligation, and utilitarianism prioritizing actions that promote happiness for the greatest number of people.
Principlism outlines four ethical principles: nonmaleficence, beneficence, respect for autonomy, and justice.
Casuistry is a case-based ethical approach that emphasizes agreement about cases and uses past decisions to inform new ethical dilemmas.
The Ethics of Care and Feminist Ethics emphasize emotional responsiveness, addressing power inequities, and relational ethics, focusing on mutual respect and attention to the interdependent environment.
Ethical practice environments in healthcare are grounded in compassion, empathy, and professionalism, and are influenced by interprofessional communication, collaboration, conflicts, and institutional policies.
Human rights are based on the assumption that every person has entitlements by virtue of being human, and these rights can be positive (obligations to provide) or negative (civil or political in nature).
Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for individuals with mental illness is set to become legal in Canada in March 2023, with eligibility criteria including being at least 18 years old, having a grievous and irremediable medical condition, and making a voluntary request free from external pressure.
To be eligible for MAiD, a person must meet criteria such as having a serious and incurable illness, being in an advanced state of irreversible decline, and enduring physical or psychological suffering that is intolerable and cannot be relieved under acceptable conditions.
Procedural safeguards for MAiD include medical assessments, a written request observed by an independent witness, the right to withdraw the request at any time, and providing final consent immediately before receiving MAiD.
Moral distress occurs when one is unable to act on their moral choices due to internal or external constraints, and it is important to seek support and refer to ethical guidelines in such situations.
