This is just one of the potential problems because another client, Jeanne, whom John is not so fond of, sent him a “friend request” as well

Resultantly, John denied the request from Jeanne informing her that de never befriends females. This is the second problem to John.

The consideration of the Preamble of the ACA Code of Ethics ad a comparison with the deeds of John with the professional guidelines and ethical values shows a conflict. For example, John failed to safeguard the counselor-client relation through the acceptance of the ‘friend request’ from Ben and denial of Jeanne’s. At this time, there could arise a restrained relationship between the counselors Jeanne. In the due course, there will be a reduced ability of proper counsel for her during the group. Another problem arises in the actions of John because ben may be hurt from whatever he observed on the personal Facebook account if John. It might be that There is no such person that Ben believed to be as compared to when he knew him as a counselor. In the end, there could be a conflict f ethical standards of the no malevolence that is doing possible harm to the clients or ethical principles of justice on which John might be found to treating Jeanne different from the other case for she is a lady. Despite the fact that the actual reason John refuses the request for Jeanne that was on.

Once John got into a dual relationship with Ben, he never stopped and considered assessment as to why he should accept the request His acceptance should have relied on the reason behind acceptance of the request. However, his acceptance of the enthusiastic interactions they have been having with Ben. He failed to consider the ACA Code of Ethics and suggesting dual relationships that relate to self, yet could actually have a relationship. 2 John faces the ethical issues if dual relationships especially those relating with individual self, yet could probably have a relationship with the institution f operation in which he works in case he violates the professional code of conduct by befriending a current client on new social media.

John is facing the ethical problem of dual relationships which is mainly related to self, but could possibly relate to the institution for which he works if he violated the outpatient facility’s professional code of conduct by befriending a current client on social media

Applying the ACA Code of Ethics Being a professional counselor or even in the case of John, a counselor interim client, the welfare of the clients is of great importance. 2 It’s the duty of a counselor to ensure the clients’ welfare s to boost the growth and development if the clients as an individual (ACA Code of Ethics, 2014). Based on the ACA Code of Ethics (2014) counselors are expected to make decisions which would avid causing harm to the clients, research participants, and trainees so as to minimize anticipated harm (A.4a) Based on the standard, it should have been better, if John has not agreed on the request, it could be in the best interest of the client if John had not accepted the request. Yet since John accepted, rectification to present harm calls up stands never expands boundaries unless in scarce situations in the client’s formal cinerary it is possible to attend the formal ceremonies of your embers. Ensuring the absence of harm on the clients if a limited dual relationship develops (Remley & Herlihy, 2016). 2 In Standard H 6. B., there is an explanation on awareness of the use of social media by the counselor indicating that the clients ought to be formed of what the social media of the clients have in terms of limitation, benefits, bounded. 2 Such details require a consent process (ACA Code of Ethics, 2014. The state of Indiana rules) on the counselors do not engage in personal virtual relationship s. Nonetheless the ACA Code (2014) Determine Nature of Dilemma Dimensions There are 5 ethical principles that are consorted foundations or professional counselors due to the reviews on the principles. Based on the issued-filled situation (Forester-Miller & Davis, 1996) such aspects rest fidelity, autonomy, beneficence, no maleficence. All of these are equal in terms of responsibilities and could resolve an ethical dilemma. In the situation of John, it would have been better to have more weight on the non-maleficence. The consideration of the moral principle as prioritized in the situation. Non-maleficence is above all do no harm. John ignored the ACA Code of Ethics regarding the prohibition of having a friend on social media. Everybody equal treatment as essential, according to Davis (1996) unfair treatment of others is inappropriate. Thus, John is not expected to have one client as a friend and mother rejected. There was no clear clarification offering why Jeanne’s request was not considered.

In the review, John was faced with guilt, wishing her never should have considered Ben anyway. The ACA Code of Ethical shows thatch counselor should be objective and avoid a virtual relationship. 2 Zur and Walker (2015) have established that it is not clearly determined whether social networking with clients is detrimental to the client.Nonetheless, they encourage a cautious and questionable counselor scheme. They indicate that the counselor must ensure privacy controls, hidden meaning in friend’s requests, and set up a professional social media page. Once there is a clear decision, the practice will be suitable. The supervisor might have diverted the issue by giving John redirection to the close of the conduct of the facility and considering that colleagues will help in having a professional process. 2 Evaluate the Course of Action The chosen course of action could probably bring harm to Ben, and that is unfortunate for if it breaks the moral standards of non-maleficence.

Evaluate the Selected Course of Action The selected course of action could possibly bring harm to Ben, which unfortunately breaks the moral principle of nonmaleficence

Nonetheless, I have a belief in honesty. 2 As it is for this Couse of action test for justice, I have a belief that it does. I consider that there should be no option than treat the clients in a similar way since it is a mandate in the ethical guidelines which should be into the virtual relationship with any current clients. There is a possibility that the test of publicity will be a success and many clients. Finally, I consider that the test of universality enhances honesty and situation is probable.

4 The Potential Course of Action In the case, John goes back receiving social media request, then one course of action would be addressing this challenge as part of the consequences of a determined course of action informed consent process.

Social Media as Part of Informed Consent

In the case social media was never part of the facility, John could have fused for the supervisor. Hopefully, the address of the matter is already heard and despite the facility fining to go out. It could have been possible for John to address the issue earlier in the initial meeting group therapy and making it open that he never accepts any friend’s requests from his clients. S prevented ethical dilemma might arise with Ben, yet it could possibly have kept Jeanes from hurt. Nonetheless, given the scenario in which the acceptance of the request from bends friend, then one probable course of action could be for John to make ben aware of his mistake. Another one is that he should close down the social media page and opens up a professional one that adheres to the Accede of Ethics, and offer that the period of time, he is counseling relationship.

2 If the social media issues were addressed as part and parcel of the informed consent/ procedure, there might never have been consequences not unless John completely ignored rules.

Consequences of Determined Course of Action Once again, if the issue of social media was addressed as part of the informed consent process, then there would likely be no consequences unless John completely ignored the rules

In that situation, he has to be rebuked. Nevertheless, given that John never accepted the friend’s request, thus if he goes back to Ben and recants the acceptance, John will be taking a hurting. Ben should divert potential harms to the client-counselor relationship and him. In the case, John shuts down his personal social media page and opens a professional social media page whose approval of the amenity, acceptance of friends for his clients, and critical thought on trials.

In experiencing these alternatives, above, it would be important to have a combination to tell Ben that I was ethically wrong by accepting his friends request. 2 It could be harmful still; however, through admission to my faults and by rectifying in the provision of another action I might continue the client counseling relationships with little change. In case the amenity after admitting mistakes ND rectify in the long run. In case the facility owes not allow client-counselling relations with little or no time to chance. In case the facility never allowed social media page, and I would also have to be honest about the mess with Ben in the easy decision-making process.

Implement the Course of Action It would be critical to implementing this course of action should be held by telling the supervisor what happened. Then, I could make a request for a meeting in the client room or without the supervisor. 2 I would have to insist that the client pays attention to the ACA Code of Ethics and what it spells about entrance not a virtual relationship with a current client.
