FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER 2
Case 1: response
As a medical care provider, in the case of the 17-year-old adolescent who has made up
his mind to participate in the motorbike competition in the street, one of the solution I would
provide in the case is to convince the boy on some of the disadvantages and risks associated with
the motorbike race more to the unqualified participant like him. Based on his age, convincing
him might be difficult but I will insist on stating risk factors and some of the health outcome
which might befall him he participates in such competition. This idea will discourage him and
impose fear on him hence might change his mind. There are many ways to discourage him and
impose fear in him like showing some of the motorbikes accidents, death cases and people who
have been completely incapacitated due to the motorbike accidents more so from the local
competition.
Secondly, based on the ethical practices and standard, disclosing ones information is
prohibited since it interferes with their privacy but to the case of the 17 years old boy, he is still
under the care of his parents hence any health issue or complication or life-threatening action
should be communicated to parents or guardians as they are responsible for the well being of
their kids (Grace, 2017). Therefore, I will call his parents informing them about the motorbike
competition which their boy is likely to participate so they can take the necessary action to stop
him. The reason for informing his parent is for them to decide whether the boy will participate
or not in the competition. Therefore, in case of an emergency, they will be responsible for the
outcome.
