I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Consider Ethics: Theory, Readings, and Contemporary Issues. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Using the case scenario given below, we are going to tackle the impact and the boundaries of social workers in the ethical decision-making of another individual. We are given a case of Mr. M, a fifty-six-year-old man who lives in a residential home, who was placed in the care of the institution by his family. Unlike most elderly, Mr. M is special in the sense that he had been born with the congenital disorder called Trisomy 21, which is otherwise known as Down Syndrome. This is a chromosomal dysgenesis syndrome consisting of a variable constellation of abnormalities caused by triplication or translocation of chromosome 21. The abnormalities include mental retardation, retarded growth, flat hypoplastic face with short nose, prominent epicanthic skin folds, small, low-set ears with prominent antihelix, fissured and thickened tongue, laxness of joint ligaments, pelvic dysplasia, broad hands and feet, stubby fingers, and transverse palmar crease. Lenticular opacities and heart disease are common. The incidence of leukemia is increased and Alzheimer disease is almost inevitable by age 40. In this respect, Mr. M is often not able to take care of himself, and has trouble remembering many things, and has had to take maintenance medications for years. When at his best behavior, he will take the medicine without any problems. When he is not in a very good mood, he would often refuse the medications. When this occurs, the caregivers would decide to hide the medications in Mr. M’s food and he would unknowingly be able to take his medications for that day. We will now try to see whether these actions present ethical dilemmas. First, we would have to understand that in his current condition, Mr. M is obviously challenged in many respects, but the most prominent of these is his mental retardation.
