Ethically, What Went Wrong?

Review the Summers text, pp. 71–75. Choose two hypothetical practice situations under “Ethically, What Went Wrong?” You will respond to two chosen ethical situations with a detailed, well thought-out post. You should try to choose situations that have not been chosen by your colleagues.

Post the number associated with your chosen situation and a brief description. Then answer the following questions: What was done in your chosen situations that was unethical? What is at least one example for each situation of how the person acting unethically could have handled the situation more ethically? Please be specific and support your conclusions by citing the course resources AND at least ONE peer-reviewed resource (i.e., journal article, professional organization website, etc.).
