Question 1
The ethical concepts such as those concerned with freedom, rights, responsibilities and the
use of power in care as per the situation.
In medical sector that involves every kind of developments which being made of the
regulations and rules through which the ethical standards are being maintained. The ethics
and law are made in order to protect the individuals in all the decision making for the general
above-mentioned areas and sectors. Ethics can also be known as the analysis and the study
which helps out in analysing the right and wrong for the human conduct (Xiao, J., and et. al.,
2021). This provides a philosophical study through which the moral values and their moral
goods are being collected as it generally covers the code of conduct, principles and the
attribution of different kinds of set of values. There is also provided cultures, religions and
other professional mark spaces through which the ethical concepts are been laid out. As with

the explanation given above the freedom, rights, responsibilities and use of power in care will
be mentioned as under:
 It is being observed that ethics is majorly being applied in daily life and it have
several aspects and compilations which are like perspective ethics, meta ethics,
applied ethics and descriptive ethics. All such helps out to manage the security and
the code of conduct in the employs when there seems no harassment in any of the
workplace and the management, managers and the heads treat their employees with
dignity and respect.
 Some of the major areas of determinants observed in ethics are like law, time,
religion, knowledge, individual and society. There is being seen that some of the
duties which are being laid out to safeguard the organisations and the society by
managing the basic requirements and needs of the human. In areas where the
unethical practises are being observed that generally result in loss, crime, corruption,
nepotism and many more.
 When the organisations adapt it takes decision enhance the productivity as by setting
up the ethical course it will help them out to guide all the operational activities to be
in a systematic manner and that will also impact their stakeholders. Employees in all
such companies which implement ethical codes will make value for their work and
also manage the setting times and the targets which are being linked with the
improvisation of sales and productivity in companies (Metz, 2021.).
 All the work please where the ethics is being supported automatically helps out the
employs to manage their growth as it helps out to follow teamwork and the
cooperation. This also align all the behaviour of the employees which are being
directly implemented with the partnership, openness and the trust between the
workplace and the workforce.
 The adaptation of ethics in the organisation will help out to create a positivity and also
create a good reputation in front of customers and the public. This manages specially
in all such areas where the non-profit organisations and along with that the high-
profile multinational companies focus on providing donations and also in the social
work with the government granting make the company to enhance their image. But in
all such areas where the donations are being made the donors will have to be aware
regarding the utilisation of money by such firms.

 For effective management and some up ethics let out in all the workplace that it
creates a positive environment for the company and also manage the better
performance for the growth in the business practises. When the organisation used to
apply the ethical and fair prepositions of work this will drive the moral values and
also give them respect in the market and society. The good corporate governance
operated by the companies will eventually initiated to enhance their social
responsibilities to be improved.
Kind of strategies which can be used by the staff employ to support and respect the dignity
of Martha Jayasekera.
There is seen that the most important factor in all the healthcare system is the dignity
and respect of patients and as in consideration with the case study and its healthcare there can
be seen that dignity is mainly the mixture through which various approaches are being taken
in order to interact and also to deal with the individuals and patients. This mainly in force and
focus on empowerment, safety, fairness, privacy and communication. As in all the healthcare
programmes there is being seen that patients usually feel Frightened, anxious, exposed,
judged etc. By overlooking all such elements and the barriers while managing the patients the
main issue which is being underweight is the patient satisfaction and their engagement to be
in a proper manner. Some of the major strategies which is being applied by the staff to
manage the dignity of Martha are being mentioned there under:
 Giving adequate services to the clients: all the staff members and the caretakers
should be well proficient and skilled with a proper knowledge in order to provide the
services and also ensure to give their services in best an appropriate manner. All the
caretakers will have to analyse the issues which the client is facing and try to manage
it in a skilled manner.
 Modesty and decency: While starting all such programs the patients usually feel
different in the situations for an instance the manners and the soft skills are important
in all such profession taking permission before entering the house or leaving, making
the client and the customers feel safe and secure. The staff member can also take the
consent before examining any of the patients in a physical manner (Lauk, 2021). The
caretakers can motivate the client to speak regarding the uncomfortable situations and
the pain which they are being feeling that will make them more confident towards
them.

 Privacy: All the caretaker should always try to respect take your privacy of the
patients as they should not disclose any of the important and personal information or
their healthcare information to any other person that can also affect their feelings and
the trust.
 Compassion understanding and empathy: There is being required to acknowledge all
the issues emotions and response which are being given by the patients with empathy
that will help them out to acknowledge the experience and the feelings of the patient.
This will also help the caretakers to manage and respect the patient when a proper
comforting manner.
 Verbal communication: no treatment can be given without having a proper
communication between the patient and the caretaker so there should be
implementation of the dignity of the patient and they should rely on managing proper
communication by speaking up with the patients and also with their family members.
The caretaker should be given a training regarding the stress management techniques
that will help them out to handle all such pressure.
 Courtesy: In order to manage a proper interaction with the patients there is being
required to manage a direct contact and discussion regarding issues with the patient.
 Respect personal space: All such caretakers will thereby be being seen responsible
for all the personal space that are being taken and they should not try to enter in that
space without any permission all the performance of task are being taken with their
assent (Iheanacho, and et. al., 2021).
 Indulging the patients in the decision making: Patience usually feel undervalued so
it is the duty of care taker to involve them in the decisions relating to them and also
should consider their views for their medicines, routines and their preferences.
 Increasing social activities: It is seemed to be very important to engage all the
patients in the social activities. Caretaker should try to manage and encourage by
opting their hobbies and different kinds of activities to be managed by them this will
help them out to create a satisfaction and motivation.
Thus, there is seem that culture preferences also help out to manage the modesty,
respect, Pride, autonomy and many more it involves communication, attitude, patience,
confidence, adaptability, motivation and many more.

Ways in which the staff can maintain effective communication by making use of
interpersonal skills consider compassion, dignity, and respect to present the best care
possible to Martha Jayasekera.

manage effective transfer of interaction and information between the people. It is generally
being defined according to the work and the applicability. The proper communication helps
in enhancing the happiness and also build the collaboration and trust between the members.
Teams will have to convey all the communication and also how to manage the difficult
aspects and situations in future Some of the major article concepts that helps out to manage
the responsibilities, freedom, rights in the given situation are being mentioned there under:
 For managing the better relation in the companies and organisation they can make a
feedback desk from where they can ask for suggestions and also respect the projects
and the issues that are being coming this will make the people to feel important
(Frierson, P., 2021).
 There is required that in all the organisation listening should be made as an important
part just like talking. So, all the team members were being working collaboratively
should listen to the ideas of each member and try to input and generalise the effective
strategies according to it.
 The team building is an important aspect for a better communication. There is
required that the staff should be communicated in a better manner and they should
also allow their members like your tickets, doctors, Stuff, all the other involved in the
working to communicate in a better manner which certain activities like fun activities,

It is important that respect and dignity are being undertaken in all the segments with a
proper domain for managing the core values and performance (Aldinhas Ferreira, 2021).
Patients has already been suffering from disease need more care and compassion with a

treated with respect and with polite behaviour. As this creates a major difference in the
treatment. As this case study helps in learning about the cell development management
through which the concepts like respect and dignity are being explored. From this above-
mentioned case study there is being seen that learning process is mainly all such existing
approaches which helps out the person or the students to get the lessons regarding the moral
and ethical conduct of the life in their classrooms. It also helps and create a beneficial
advancement to the students in order to enhance their understanding related to the ethical
attitude and code of conduct with dignity and respect. This case study also increases the

the theoretical part provided that a proper interpersonal skills and effective communication is
needed to manage the compassion, respect and dignity. Within the nutshell I also gained to

gain the knowledge that all the patients are required to be treated with proper care and time
and also this helps me out to collect a depth knowledge regarding the topics. Through this
case study I explored the complex and the real issues which are being faced by the
individuals. As this managed my inner strength and also explore my effective learning with a
