This unit examines ethical tensions around access to basic healthcare, the influence of spirituality and culture on care, parental responsibilities in clinical decision-making, and complex issues in pregnancy and reproductive technology. Students will apply ethical frameworks and communication strategies to real-world case studies to prepare for advanced ethical analysis and policy discussion in subsequent units.
Learning Objectives
