Topic of the midterm paper: This paper has to be written from a Radiology Technologist Professional Code of Conduct:
Locate the “professional code of conduct” or “professional standards” from your own respective online medical, allied health or nursing association. Analyze your professional code from an ethical perspective by identifying 3 to 5 ethical concepts from your readings and weekly discussions that are reflected in your own professional code of conduct (example: The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses has four principle elements of professionalism. Within these elements is the duty to “hold in confidence personal information.” This relates to ethical principles of confidentiality that are described in detail throughout Chapter 5 of our text). Feel free to share relevant personal experiences as they relate to your discussion (remember to change names and other patient identifiers).
