Instructions
Your will use the
information written on your Ethical Vignette Paper Assignment to continue with
the Ethical Decision-Making Model outlined in the Practitioners Guide for

your ethical dilemma as you work through the Ethical Decision-Making Model.
Follow the steps below:
Step 1: Review the
feedback received from the instructor on the Ethical Vignette Paper Assignment and
make any corrections noted. Make sure you incorporate all feedback provided.
Step 2: Once you have applied the feedback from your
instructor, use the information from your corrected Ethical Vignette Paper
assignment to complete steps 1-4 in the Ethical Dilemma
Presentation PowerPoint template. Do
not just copy and paste the content. Make sure you reduce the content into
bullet points. The slide content should be minimal. Summarize the information
and make sure the required information is addressed within steps 1-4. See the Ethical
Vignette Assignment Instructions for more information. Use the Ethical
Dilemma Presentation Student Example Guide for additional support.

Presentation PowerPoint template to complete the remaining slides on your document:
Potential Consequences
of Each Option and Determine a Course of Action
·
This
step has multiple sub steps. Briefly list the consequences for each potential
course of action addressed in step 4. Answer the question, “If I take this
course of action, what will be the consequences for all parties involved (the
counselor, the client, others)?
·
Eliminate
the actions that will not work based on the consequences identified. Make sure
you state what actions will not work and why.
·
State
which action or combination of actions you decided to take to fix the problem
and explain why. Make sure you have scholarly sources that support your chosen
course of action.
Evaluate Chosen
Course of Action
·
Restate
your chosen action and clearly state if any ethical dilemmas still exist (the
answer should be no).
·
Evaluate
the chosen action by applying the three tests (Justice, Publicity, and
Universality). Make sure you have scholarly sources that support your position.
Implement Selected
Course of Action
·
Provide
a step-by-step plan for how you will implement the chosen course of action.
·
This
may include information not stated in previous steps to effectively implement
the plan (for example, calling the client is a step needed to implement
informing a client of a mistake).
Your final
presentation document must include:
·
Approximately
11-15 slides, including the title and references slides.
·
The
following 7-8 references are required and must be cited verbally, intext, and
included on the reference slides:

The
2014 ACA Code of Ethics, your State Ethical Codes/Mental Health Laws, the
two course textbooks, and the Practitioner’s Guide for Ethical Decision Making.
•
2-3
additional scholarly sources (scholarly journal articles published within the
last 5 years) related to the identified problem and moral principle specific to
the counseling profession. Materials must be outside of course materials, and
materials from other classes.
