Health care administrators are confronted with ethical dilemmas and difficult decision making during their work. As we have already discovered, there are important interactions between ethical behaviors and legal issues. Health care administrators need to understand the relationships as well as the distinct differences. Health care institutions have ethics committees that play a central role in the protection of patient’s rights, the organization as a whole, and its staff.

You have been asked to present a paper at a professional conference on medical ethics and caregiver-patient encounters.

Your paper should be 3–5 pages and should include a title page and references, for a total of 5–7 pages.
