    According to Ed 's physician, if he is not placed on a ventilator, he will die within a few days from pneumonia and lung congestion causing low levels of oxygen. These situations are ethically tough to evaluate, as their is never a right or wrong answer, but more so using one 's best clinical judgement if the patient still holds the capacity to make sound decisions. If the physician believed as if Ed 's symptoms are effecting his decision making ability, then I believe Dr. Goldstein 's act of calling Bert was ethically sound. "It is a patient 's written directive to continue or to withhold treatment or to administer painkilling drugs if the person has incurable disease, illness, or condition via which the patient has become incompetent and…

HealthSouth can be seen as unethical under the Rights theory as they failed to provide investors with their right to access materially accurate information.

    In addition to ethical issues faced in healthcare organizations, are legal issues. According to Pozgar (2016), laws are enacted to regulate human behavior for the benefit of society. Laws are a basis for conduct in our society and if breached can lead to serious implications.

Though not directly involved with patient care, a health services administrator should enhance the overall quality of life and well being of individuals under their organizations care.…
