Ethic
Treating patients with Ebola presents an ethical dilemma for health care
workers. They want to help, but place themselves and their families at risk by
doing so.

The CDC has revised PPE guidelines
and there is a tremendous awareness of
the Ebola virus, yet it is improbable that
every hospital, ambulatory care clinic,
and physician practice in the Unites
States has been trained to a level of
automatic competency, obtained the
correct PPE resources, and established
the proper protocols for nursing staff,
custodial staff, supervisors, and
healthcare managers.

Limitations in experience and knowledge may not require refusal
of the assignment but rather an agreement to ensure patient
safety. If no accommodation for limitations is considered, the nurse
has an obligation to refuse an assignment for which she or he
lacks education or experience. ~American Nurses Association
