Assessment - Normative Theories

While working in the business office of a primary care medical facility, you come across records showing that one of your daughter's grade-school teachers has been prescribed antipsychotic medication for the control of schizophrenia. Although you have been told to respect patient confidentiality in the workplace, you fear the potential harm such a person could cause in a position of authority over children. Develop your position on this ethical issue. What would you do?
Write a paper addressing this topic, supporting your position with credible research.

In explaining your position, address each of the following questions:

• What features of the situation are relevant for making a moral decision?

• What would a deontologist like Immanuel Kant recommend?

• What would a consequentialist like John Stuart Mill recommend?

• How do you justify your own decision about what to do?
