You will write a three-page paper analyzing this military nurses dilemma in terms of the following question. Provide a bibliography of at least three references.
There is a decision between an ethical dilemma and a moral dilemma:
An ethical dilemma requires a choice between two equally appealing, mutually exclusive choices OR two equally distasteful alternatives. Also mutually exclusive.
A moral dilemma emerges when a person knows what is right but is constrained from doing it by forces beyond his control, or conversely, knows what is wrong but is compelled to do it anyway.
A military RN is ordered to force feed a terrorist prisoner while he is undergoing interrogation. The prisoner is on a hunger strike protesting his capture and highlighting his cause. The nurse is to ensure the prisoner remains hydrated and fed so he can provide information and does not starve. The nurse is torn. On the one hand, the nurse has strong loyalty to the military objective of ensuring public safety by uncovering terrorists plots along with fear of reprisal if orders are disobeyed. Yet, the nurse is appalled at overriding a patients wishes by force feeding him against his will.
