Rescuing Patients
Joyce Mitchell and Lee Haroun
If a fire occurs and you, a health care worker, cannot rescue patients without risk to your own safety, how do you decide what to do? Do you leave the patients in their rooms to die of smoke inhalation or burns? What level of risk is acceptable?

Oxygen Precautions
Joyce Mitchell and Lee Haroun
If you are visiting a patient who is on oxygen in his or her home, and that patient insists on smoking, what are your obligations? What actions, if any, can you take?

Dress Code Policy
Joyce Mitchell and Lee Haroun
Most dress codes in health care facilities state that long hair is to be tied back, no long earrings are to be worn, shoes are to be enclosed, jewelry must be limited, and fingernails must be kept short. Do these restrictions impinge on an individuals human rights? By what authority can these regulations be enforced? If an employee refuses to follow the dress code, what do you think is the best action to take?
