You should use APA format with a cover sheet (page 1), body of the paper no more than four (4) pages (pages 2 -5), double-spaced with 12-point font, and a list of references (APA format) on a separate page (page 6).

Personal Ethics
Robbie is a 14–year old boy is hospitalized for relapse of leukemia after a failed bone marrow
transplant. The family has been told his condition is terminal, there is nothing more to be done
except keep him comfortable.
His mother is distant, uncommunicative and rarely visits. When she does, she doesnt touch
Robbie or speak to him. She sits in a recliner by the window reading novels and requesting
sodas multiple times per visit.
The healthcare team calls a family meeting but the mother is conspicuously absent. Robbies
father is frantic, demanding further treatments, regardless of low likelihood of efficacy. During
the family meeting, he directs the team NOT to tell Robbie he might die, as he would lose
hope. He states: In our culture, we keep this news from patients to avoid upsetting them.
You are often assigned as Robbies nurse. One afternoon when his parents are not around, he
asks you, Am I dying?
