The U.S congress passed the National Research Act forming the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Behavioural and Biomedical Research. The commission then created the resulting Belmont Report. The commission concluded three ethical principles that ought to guide human research. The principles include respect for persons, beneficence, plus justice (Miracle, 2016). The ethical framework in the Belmont Report is crucial in the nurse’s role as the patient advocate in human research situations. The respect for a person states that all persons should be treated as free agents, and those people with limited autonomy or the vulnerable groups are entitled to protection. Vulnerable groups in studies include fetuses, pregnant women, children, neonates, prisoners and the elderly.

Ethics management strategies Ethics management strategies are essential in the management of organizations. Effective ethics management strategies are critical in ensuring that various facets of an organization are well managed in line with relevant ethos and values in the entire organization. In the Berman and Armstrong articles of ethics management strategies, several effective ethic strategies can be used to manage an organization. These strategies are likely to provide room for the organization to realize its noble goals, thus improving the company’s productivity. Among the strategies that I consider useful include setting appropriate ethical standards within the organization. These ethical standards need to be adequately defined through the values and rules of the company. They can as well be defined as the codes of conduct and the relevant policies within the organization.

Clifford provides an example of a lack of investigation to emphasize the need to investigate and find out more before believing in something. The case used involves a ship-man who was negligent, failed to examine the state of the ship, and believed that it was okay based on the opinions of contractors and shipbuilders. The ship then…
