ROLE OF HEALTH PROFESSIONAL

All health and allied-health professions have a Code of Ethics that is designed to guide those within the field. For this assignment, if you work in an allied-health field, locate your professional Code of Ethics. If not, choose a Code of Ethics from the Optional Reading.

1. Provide an overview of the Code of Ethics that you have chosen, including the major areas that are covered. Are any of the four basic ethical principles mentioned or alluded to in the Code? Give examples.

2. Are there areas that you think are missing and relevant to the profession? Explain why or why not. This should not be opinion, but should be supported by reliable sources. For example, you can use another Code of Ethics that covers the area(s) that you feel are important to support your argument.

3. Why is it important for all health professionals to have a Code of Ethics?.
