This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles of principlism.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize principlism and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.

Read “Teaching Clinical Ethics Using the Four Topic Method” (attached). Use the example provided in the article to guide you in the completion of the chart in the topic assignment.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

———————————————————————————————————————

This assignment should consist of completing a chart using the four-box method as a way to organize a case according to the four principles of Principlism. As you fill in each box in section once, be sure there is a clear connection to the items you include in the box and one or more of the principles in the box’s heading.

Bullet points are typically used to complete the boxes in Part I. Make a brief comment in parentheses to show how the information you include relates to the principles for that box. For example:

• “I include this item in this box” (this supports the autonomy of the patient)
• Do not include lengthy descriptions of what, for example, “autonomy” is. Give concrete information in each box. For example, in box one, medical indications, the diagnosis current state of the patient must be included.

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

APA style is not required (except for resources), but must have solid academic writing.
