results from knowing what is right, being in a situation that constrains acting on that knowledge, and the psychological distress resulting from that inability to do the right thing. For example, A nurse is aware that a specific cognitive computing model is used in her organization to guide the identification of clinical deterioration of patients. However, she does not feel comfortable following the protocol of care based on the model because she does not believe it is accurately reflecting her patient’s condition. She calls the physician to discuss her patient and he tells her to follow the protocol of care as written.
Moral distress
is a fundamental ethical principle that puts high value on the dignity and worth of all people, the rights of individuals to privacy, confidentiality, and self-determination. For example, As a nurse involved in the design of a medical record, you note that in the demographic section, no allowances are made for sexual preferences or gender other than male or female.
