[Solved] Week 7

Assignment Prompt & Instructions

How do I respond to the following:
– Briefly describe a critical incident from the news in the past year (California's disabled students left behind during emergencies: 'They just weren't ready for someone like me.') and how it relates to one of the Ethical Standards found within the NOHS Ethical Standards.
– Explain why the ethical standard could be challenging to apply in the critical incident and how it may conflict with an HSPP’s legal obligations.
– Explain which step in the human services ethical decision model (Eber, 2018) would you find most challenging if you were confronted with a similar situation. In your explanation, include who you would consult to assist in your decision-making process, and whether you think the situation requires you to err on the side of your ethical or legal obligations. Provide a rationale for your choice.
