You work in a large academic health care facility as a physical therapist supervisor of the inpatient cardiac intensive care units (CICU).  An 18-year-old patient awaiting a heart transplant recently was treated by a PT on your staff in the department gym area.  The patient was not being monitored on telemetry during the treatment, as telemetry was only available on the cardiac unit and the exercise equipment was in the PT gym area. The PT providing treatment instructed the patient to perform walking exercise on the treadmill. The patient indicated that she felt well and voiced that she wanted to continue the walking treatment for a full 30 minutes.  During the treatment the PT monitored the patient’s respiratory rate and pulse rate, noted some elevation in both rates but did not have concerns.  Once the patient completed the exercise walking treatment, the PT transported the patient back to the CICU and handed off and made report to the nursing staff caring for the patient.  By that time, however, the patient was having labored breathing and was not recovering as expected from the walking exercise.  Despite all attempts from the nursing and medical staff, the patient coded and later died.  Once the event is reported to the State Health Department and The Joint Commission, what must be performed?

You are licensed physical therapist and have many friends who are licensed physical therapists.   Many of you attend a UF homecoming game where you tailgate prior to the game. The game is a thriller and the Gators defeat Alabama 31-30 in triple overtime.   Afterward, you head to The Swamp for post-game dinner and drinks. On the way home, you are arrested for DUI and subsequently found guilty. You do not tell anyone about your arrest or conviction. You wonder if you should report this incident the State of Florida Board of Physical Therapy. If you do not report it, you think that the likelihood of anyone finding out is minimal at best. You do not want to have any disciplinary actions noted on your license record. According to the ethical decision-making model what type of ethical situation BEST describes the situation you are contemplating?
